I think I can set my charger to a lower voltage as it has 3 settings for lithium ion batteries; standard, LiFePo4 (lowest voltage), and LiPo (highest voltage). If I set it for standard it may prolong the life of my battery and keep the voltage within the tolerances of my caps...
maybe I'll get some time tonight to actually test some things.
I'm still torn on if I should forgo the ultracaps or use them as a buffer. My little 5Ah battery is rated to start my car, but I'm not sure my wiring job is beefy enough. The 10 AWG section is, but I used dinky wire from a smoke detector connector to create the Y harness since I couldn't fit 2 sections of 10 AWG into the connector.
