TO CAP OR TO CELL… THAT IS THE QUESTION! After years of large capacitors being on the market, they still remain a mystery to many… Often called a “power cap” or “stiffening cap”, some people prefer caps over adding a second battery and vice versa. So, which product is a smarter choice? NEITHER!

A second battery is a great option for high power systems, but should be accompanied by an upgraded alternator that can efficiently charge both batteries. This can get really expensive.

A capacitor is similar to a battery but can charge and discharge in a fraction of a second depending on size. The cap has the ability to empty itself almost instantly on transient notes in music material. However, it does not have the stamina that a battery has and is not an equivalent substitute.

Our Cap Cells are a fusion of both products. The Cap Cell offers auxiliary power with the ability to enhance the transient notes, often suppressed in car audio systems with an OEM battery, while being able to reinforce the battery during long, intense bass notes. A second alternator is not necessary, making the Cap Cell a perfect addition and an affordable way to supply the necessary power for a system.
