Both the car and battery are six months old, no issues with either other than the slightly excessive time between the engine firing and the alt being enabled, which is just part of the Canbus programing.

I wonder if adding a bigger bank is the right way to go as I worry that it will still deplete and just put an even bigger load on the battery for a longer duration. I'm just wondering if I'm doing the battery more harm than good.

FWIW, the 350 farad bank can't start my 875cc Fiat. Modern European cars apparently draw too much power. I charged the cap bank with an R/C charger and it accepted around 200mah from zero to 14V. Does that sound correct?

I first tried the Cap bank on the Jeep which still has it's original battery, and I also go a slight stumble.
