If going with the BCAP3400, you might consider running just 5 series caps instead of 6. They are rated at a slightly higher voltage than all of the other caps. Using as few caps as possible in series will increase the overall farad capacity.
I guess I haven't quite decided yet quick way I want to go. I know what it's like to have to be careful of not letting even a small light stay on. (That's because I had been running a bad battery for almost a year. It would barely start the car only if it was fully fully fully charged.)

I understand how the capacitance changes with the addition of more capacitors on a series. If I do get the BC3400's I'll consider only getting five.
