when my cap is connected by battery doesn't charge, power flows through cap instead of the battery. cap is a voodoo 1.2 digital auto shut off, no remote turn on. all 4ga wire...I need a cap with my system, I'm running a profile clarus 1200, 2-15" HX2's massive current draw...what should I do??????

your battery is prob bad now if you don't have a large enough HO Alternator and can't keep a charge. the digital read out on a capacitor usually isn't enough to drain your battery. also, 4AWG wire might not be big enough for 1200 watts RMS.
