[QUOTE="PistolWhip, post: 13477527, member: 30361"] Somehow I stumbled upon this YouTube video of a guy that made a few "booster" packs out of Supercapacitors that weigh close to nothing compared to most regular car batteries. So naturally I started thinking about the weight savings and then sure enough in a few of his other videos he weighs them and eventually comes up with one that weighs less than a pound and starts his car every time without effort. Apparently these booster packs can be made for around $50 and while I probably wouldn't leave this in my car all the time, it seems like a dam good alternative to a trunk mounted battery or ultra expensive light weight racing battery. I'm certainly no electrical engineer, but it seems feasible. Any ideas here on this?
