I built a 5-series (3400F Maxwell caps) supercap bank to aid in starting my diesel truck. It was killing the 2 large Pb batteries, which are expensive to constantly replace. I intend to eliminate the large Pb batteries next time they die and replace them with a very small Pb battery and the supercap.
