alaskanzx5 Posted September 13, 2014 Report Share Posted September 13, 2014 Isn't it like 100lbs loss is 1whp gained? Imagine the gas saved from going from say 5batts to 5-8banks of caps. I mean 400+lbs down to 35lbs... t1500bdcp 2 t2d4 15" 1 t600.4 1 t400.2 1 set p1 tweets singer alt, tons of wiring, smd vm-1, 80prs, back seat delete, still in the works, aiming for a 145-147 with the ability to play 25hz up to 50hz.

I mean 400+lbs down to 35lbs... I've heard every 100lbs is worth .1 sec in the 1/4. If that matters to you. I know it does to me in my daily. Because racecar.

ricksaudio Posted November 20, 2014 Report Share Posted November 20, 2014 There will be far less loss to heat in a cap bank. Using caps WITH a primary battery keeps the battery from the exponentially higher percentages of loss that happen in a faster discharge. This heat (loss) is why a battery can supply so many more watt hours when discharged more slowly. The same test done in a vehicle with a primary battery and running at 2000 rpm will show the cap winning if only but by a small margin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
