[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3307058, member: 29706"] So basically have the cap bank hooked only to the starter with a monetary switch to charge them up and then release and crank it over when you are ready type of thing. Have to figure out how to setup the circuit but that could be interesting. Also work as a pretty decent start prevention circuit. The capacitors in question are pretty large, the main issue would be overchagring them but with them setup correctly and balance boards that is pretty much prevented. Even without balance boards in place the bank of 6 can handle a little over 16v. Since most vehicles charge at 13.8v to 14v there should be minimal risk at voltage being too high. I should also mention that ever electronic item in your home, car, rv etc has capacitors in them. Can they go bad sure. But under most conditions they will last well over ten to 15 years unless they were substandard to begin with. [/QUOTE]
