So I am going to find a source for these 'NICC' NRSH caps and use them. I like the looks of the 35v 330uF caps, maybe get 4 of them...?
Anyone got a recomendation for caps to use across the battery leads? Id like to do this mod. I feel like I push my Quarks pretty hard and anything I can do to help them I am interested in doing. Unfortunatley i'm kind of an electronincs dummy. I know capacitors basically just store a charge and release it when the overall system voltages drop to keep the votages as even as possible. How does adding more capacitiors help? Make it more resistant to voltage drop therfore drawing less amps by keeping the voltages higher?

Did S&T recomend a capacitior to use? A link to a place to purchase and any instalation instructions would be great.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...
