LordArcane Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 i got question, since we are on the topic, what are bat/caps? i mean i read they are like extra battery and cap together is this really true? i would like to know more bout these also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamenNoodles Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 To answer your question... A conventional battery, as we all know, has a positive and negative terminal. The chemical reaction within creates a flow of electrons, causing an electronic device (in this case an amplifier) to work. The stiffening capacitor is similar to a battery in that it stores a charge. The fundamental difference is it cannot create electrons. It can only store and supply (discharge) them upon demand. The advantage with a capacitor is that it discharges in twenty thousandth of a second, unlike a battery that does in one second. The battery therefore cannot discharge fast enough to effectively supply the amplifier and this is the reason for “power sags.” WAKE UP! Don’t fall asleep just yet; we’re getting to the exciting part. The XSTATIC BATCAP is simply a battery that can discharge just as quickly as a capacitor. Therefore, you have a constant supply of electrons that will discharge at lightning speed! This puts less strain on your stock alternator and battery. It also recharges faster than a conventional battery since the internal resistance is low. How about the install? Well I’m sure you can find a place to put this 2.5 lb. baby and his 5 lb. big brother. Don’t let the size fool you though. These BATCAPS can crank start your car, and you can bet we put that to the test! The cost is another remarkable feature since the 300 model costs the same as a “High End” stiffening capacitor and the 400 model costs a little more. Remember, “good things come in small packages.” (I was going to say that “SIZE” doesn’t matter, but let’s not offend anyone now.) Oh, by the way, the fact that the BATCAP is capable of discharging in a RUSH over a 5-10 second period SCREAMS three letters, “SPL!” Quote Diablo Audio Technologies Fi Car Audio Ascendant Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RamenNoodles Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Best bet would be to contact them about where a dealer can be found. batcap.net Or check on the classifieds of CA.com, there are always batcaps for sale over there Quote Diablo Audio Technologies Fi Car Audio Ascendant Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boon Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Connect a headlight bulb to a cap. See how long it glows for. There's your answer... Although they are mightily good for enormous bursts of power, there's no doubt about that. Quote 10.x volts fo' life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
