Big Lad Little Car Location: North West (Warrington) | tommib - 16/5/2012 6:10 AM I have power cap as 2 amps drain battery fairly quick plus i have an underpowred battery as its a 1..8 vvc and still on standard battery and alternator i got the powercap with the sub and amp so didnt cost me any extra so fitted that cos i had it already sat here.its a capacitor that holds extra charge so rather like having a backup battery does come in handy when all the locks are electronic you cant get in my car with keys only the fob i have at some point got to sort an emergancie entry system otherwise it will mean busting a window to get in lol Sorry man, but youre talking absolute cow waste. Capacitors aren't intended or even designed to "hold extra charge", that just isn't what they do. What they are for is to prevent your amps (and in turn the drivers that they power) from crapping out when there is a voltage peak (for instance, a heavy bass drum note or prolonged wob-wob on a sub). Their purpose is to maintain output strength, and therefore sound quality regardless of the demands a particular music track may make. If your audio amps are draining your battery, then you need a red or yellow top (or another battery with a decent figure for cranking amps), thats the long and short of it. A capacitor WILL NOT save you from battery death in maccies carpark with your engine switched off and your sub up on full gain. In short, Capacitor does not = Battery.  | ||

Big Lad Little Car Location: North West (Warrington) | tommib - 2/6/2012 9:42 AM Jeckz - Pitty you didnt spend as much time sorting out the rot on your metro as you do slateing other people ....yours would have been a minter LMAO Got right up your nose with that didn't I. If I knew how to weld mate, I would have. From now on Im sticking to cars that I wont need more than a socket set and a jack to maintain and modify. Ive reached the age where I'm inclined to believe that replacing metal shouldn't be necessary to pass an MOT. I've got better things to do with my time. Hence, the car went. I stick around becuase this is a great forum and I still love Metros, but I also hate them because they're an arse to keep. Glad to hear you enjoyed welding her up so very much. And furthermore lad, I wasn't slating you, I was just informing the uninformed. | ||

PMSL This thread had nowt to do with my car, and you thought that making some passing derogatory reference to it would in some way win the argument? They were right, this place really is full of muppets these days. Unfortunately Thomas, theyre a dying breed for a reason. They rot. Just like many an old design before them. Im glad youre enthusiastic, because you need that to be able to spend every winter on your back, under your car, in the rain with rust in your eyes. I've gotten past that. Life's a lot different when youre not living with mummy and daddy. You'll work that out soon enough. Take care kidda | ||

LOL Well very bloody nice for ya mate. You must be the happiest man alive. I didn't slate anyone, or their car. I was making light of how many people will actually put money into a long standing myth about 'saving their battery' with cutting remarks and well worded humour. aka sarcasm. Its all there in black and white, go check. It was the 'grown man' in the thread who started with the name calling. So don't even TRY that with me. While I'm here, just who is this 'everyone' Im slating people who throw money at a myth. If this applies to you, then unlucky! If you've taken offence then tough. And to be honest mate, I wouldn't be arsed about it that much except for the fact I'm straight up correct, and I cant stand it when the one who shouts loudest gets heard even though they're the most uninformed dullard on the planet. And if you think that this applies to you then sort your shit out. | ||
