Agreed that above 1,500 probably doesn't make sense in most passenger vehicle applications. That said, 5x 3400 in series was insufficient to reliably start my diesel truck due to grid heater and massive draw from low pressure + high pressure fuel pumps, plus starter.
I speculated that it might be sufficient to start an Allis-Chalmers one-ninety, which would be extremely useful since the enormous lead-acid batteries are enormously expensive. Haven't tested this theory yet since that tractor only gets used once every few years.
Was hoping to at least see BCAP1500 listed since that might be the sweet spot for eliminating the battery in the motorcycle. I can get by with 400 farad in series barely, but would be nice to have some reserve for the unexpected, and to give a few more days of sitting before the bike is no longer able to start.
I'd have been happy just to see a price reduction, but the opposite has happened. Harder to justify experimenting with these when prices go up as the technology ages.
