That's cool, redpoint. I have been wondering about capacitors ever since someone posted their "boost pack" capacitor thread here. I have no experience with capacitors. But a question... a main purpose for my battery set up in charging the battery from the grid, using the deep cycle capacity for all electrical needs as I drive the car, and occasionally doing some regen braking by turning the alternator on while in deceleration fuel cut-off mode. The capacitors would probably be better than a battery for regen because they will absorb more energy from the 75 amp alt more quickly than the battery can. But the grid charging? The capacitors would be problematic maybe? Could I continue to run separate charging lines straight to the battery from my on board grid charger and recharge the battery without problems?
