Whats the difference between a capacitor and a battCap? I know normal caps are useless in most situations so I don't need to know anything about those, but are battcaps worth the time? I read somewhere where someone compared a battcap and a battery, and said the battcap performed almost as good as the battery, plus it saved weight and space. So I guess I wanna know the pro's and con's of using a battcap as compared to a normal dry cell battery (like a kinetic or optima).

Battcap = not as good as a Kinetik or Odyssey battery.......

Read the last paragraph of this page, I think this is the info you're looking for:

I'm not even going to comment on this one. There's a lot of guys that compete that run X-Static monster sized batt caps and own it up in the lanes.

Way to contradict myself... :-( FAIL.

So basically a battcap is just another name for a capacitor on steroids?

Thanks m.s., that cleared it up quite well.
