Would like to see testing results from somebody who has amp gage to investigate battery condition after 1 hr at night.
Very good but mabe not eco. would make awesome booster unit though for yall diesel guys who have double batt set ups in trucks. dump a batt add a cap bank instead.
that's what I was thinking. oil_pan4 made a lithium ion pack for his diesel and I thought this might be a bit cheaper of an option along with ample cranking.
