You should invest in a 100 megaton self-powered trailer which holds 100 lumafarads (It goes deka, hecto, kilo, mega, giga, tera, exa, zetta, yotta, zona, weka, vunda, uda, treda sorta, rinta, quexa, pepta, ocha, nena, minga, THEN luma... in other words...HUGE, one lumagram is like...at least the earth once...at least) of power maybe??? I'm sure it's enough to power the world for a while..

I had a 2 farad cap in my last install. Not saying it didn't help transients SOME, but it sure wasn't worth the effort. It was a real PITA to have to discharge/recharge the thing through a light bulb every time I disconnected/ reconnected power at the battery to work on things.

Going to spend over 3 grand on my new system, none of which will be going towards the purchase of another power cap.

:P
