I have a question.

So when car is on, the alternator is charging the caps and the batteries at 14.4.

Turn the car off, the batteries want to drop down to resting voltage at 12.9. Will the caps drop down to 12.9 as well because their voltage would be higher than the batts resting voltage?

Would the caps drain the batteries over time? or vise versa

The caps will drop to 12.9/batteries resting voltage, they will stay there for a while as long as batteries stay good

Caps have no resting voltage. They will charge to whatever voltage is being applied. So yes, they will drop to 12.9 to match the batteries.

They will draw a few mA from the batteries. But even over a 30 day test, I saw no significant impact on battery voltage. It's similar to having a car alarm LED blink.

i am still awaiting approval on a group buy from the boss.

i ordered the caps and they are shipping to me right now. I will test them to make sure they are good and perform as advertised. then I will negotiate a price with the supplier and I will take a cap count once I know they perform well.

if all goes well

i will take all basic info to have for my records, cap count, and i will need you to have your paypal address confirmed to where I am shipping to. i will not ship to addresses that you dont have confirmed. depending on how many people there are I want everything in paypal on paper so every transaction goes smoothly.

and keep in mind this is pending boss apporval.

and to the boss and admins, I am NOT profitting nor am i trying to be a vendor for the site. I just want to order so many caps so it brings down the cost for all of us.

also to all, more updates this weekend installed on my charging system!! i got my XS power VCM so i can charge the caps to the max and see their full potential as a voltage stabilizer on a good electrical system.
