Location: Eau Claire, WI | Hi ghoti, I used that term too loosely. The voltage I am trying to regulate is brown out type dips. I believe that capacitors would help regulate that because they will hold the same output while the input voltage can fluctuate up or down within a certain time and voltage tolerance. So theoretically speaking, with the proper system, the capacitors could keep steady output voltage to the electronics (thus keeping them on) while the input voltage decreases as most of the available amps are devoted to turning the motor over.
Optis want 800CCA or 1000MCA so if a battery can't deliver, the electronics will suffer. Nothing replaces the right tool for the job. Step 1 is get a good battery but adding a system like this could help in situations like Lambeau described.
