Read up on capacitor. There's already a post on waht it can and can not do.
FYI, they're all wrong. Nothing will replace HO alternator. |

What I found usually the guy at the counter isn't too informed, they are just for sales. Hawking the most expensive items is probably what they are trained to do. Most shops here don't to alternators so they gotta sell caps. One time a sales person was telling me how their Optima batteries were so great until he realized that they didn't have them in stock then he was like a capacitor will be just as good. |
