Just a thought on batteries and charging systems.


Recommended Posts

Soooooooo....

Do you have any starting points on a good super cap / battery ratio?

I have no idea how to set guidelines on that explanation. maybe a Farad / AH ratio? ... Im sure you will know what I'm asking nathan.

interested in this as well. Have a high power build around the corner, and don't want to waste my money

750??! Yeah, fuck that. Fuck this website, fuck SMD, fuck Steve, fuck all of his butt buddy mods, and their couches.

I do know what you are talking about, bbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt right now due to things I can or can not deny happening in the near future just can't put out what my suggestions would be. A few posts on here I am sure have already been screen shot and emailed to our competitors, so they can try to catch up copy us.......lol Just a part of the game. Hope you understand why I would rather not put that out there right now.

I will say though if you search around the forums there are a few members that are VERY educated on the use of super caps. Some have tested the use with proper battery banks and others have only looked at is as a way to try to make batteries obsolete. It is not hard to see which way they lean.

I will say this though. If you are not careful with super caps things can and probably will turn out bad. They can be very dangerous, but they can also be very safe if you do everything correctly.

Lots of great info in this thread, good to know someone else gets mad when people say 'add more batteries' as a general response instead of addressing the fact that your OEM alternator is the first link in the chain

You would be amazed at the responses when you tell someone they really do not need a battery in the back with their system. Most tell you they really need one, and that is more based on the thought that if you have more than one battery your system has to be loud..............lol They do have their place for sure, but a battery bank is not the end all option.

I second this... The look of the super caps always looked like a childs toy, and knowing whats inside of it kinda is scary to think your whole car is metal and how fast they can deliver juice.

Id like to see safer super cap banks that are of similar sizes to a certain battery foot print.
