The capacitor solution has risks too. One of the things a lead-acid battery brings is a voltage somewhat independent of the load. As such, it helps keep the voltages constant versus wandering. A capacitor is going to show an immediate voltage drop under a current load ... it is how they work. In contrast, battery chemistry just increases its activity to sustain the voltage while current varies.
It is an interesting challenge, trying to put together a capacitor system substitute for a lead-acid battery. I'll have to think about it.
