I keep getting distracted by other projects and then get chicken to just put the darn LiFePo4 in my car... kinda wanted to wait until a battery died to do this.

I've been running just a supercap in the motorcycle since January. Rode it to work tonight, in fact. It will still only go 3 days before draining down too much to electric start. I've noticed zero issues with the charging system, maintaining voltage, etc. Runs as if I have a battery in place.

I'll take your prodding though and get that battery in soon. It's ready to go, just haven't actually installed it yet. I also wanted to put a current limiting resistor in, but maybe I'll skip it and see if I fry a battery. I suppose risking $70 in the name of science (tinkering) is worth it.

I still don't know why this is in the unicorn corral. My motorcycle, and posted videos, prove you can replace a battery with super caps. That said, I'll probably let this thread die and post updates to the thread I started, or the original thread on this subject.
