That was the same thought I had. Running caps in a series/parallel config.

I am also considering reducing or eliminating the current limiting resistor so that the LiFePO4 can contribute more to starting the vehicle.
My third idea is to connect the battery to the capacitor with 2 parallel connections. 1 connection would have a current limiting resistor to reduce the rate of charge. The other connection would have a power diode that would allow the battery to supply cranking amps (at a 1v reduction), but not allow charging through that connection. |
I am reading this thread with great interest, but don't think I am following your thought process here with the battery/capacitor connections thing.
