LIttle bit higher resistance, little lower capacitance. That's about it. Still very usable. I'm running used caps in my ride

Tip: Buy caps used when they pop up. Buying new is an arm, leg, and firstborn child LOL

The link that Omega posted is a decent bank for a decent price. Pretty much plug and play. Balancing circuit built in, all wired and ready to go.

Now, should you use caps to help poor electrical or have batteries help that, or just simply use caps to balance out any drop?

I mean, what's the pros and cons of using a cap vs like a battery per say?

Caps work great if you have enough alt power, but your voltage drop looks something like - 14--13--14--12.6--13.8--13, etc. Enough alt to keep up on average, but you still get dips.

If you can hold 13v then caps would help. If you are dipping to mid 12s or lower and staying there, I'd say go batteries. Or LOTS of caps ;)

so if im charging at 14.9 I want to have a higher bank voltage than 15v right

Ideally, yes. I'll refer to the bank that Omega posted.

It's good to 17.5v and would work perfect for the 12v guys

ok gotcha....so basically I can parallel together banks of 7 of those to get more capacity correct?
