Introduction

This power capacitor is an energy storage device. It is designed to supplement your car's charging system
when your audio amplifier places a high current demand upon it. This occurs, for example, when the music you
are playing contains a loud, transient, deep bass signal.
This product can discharge extremely rapidly on demand (e.g. from your amplifier's short bursts) to deliver the
current your car battery cannot produce. Thus, this enhances overall bass response of your car audio system.
In addition, this product can filter out audio noise caused by the AC voltage which is induced in the amplifier's
power supply. A 1 Farad (1F) capacitor works up to about 500 watts of amplifier power.
This product also features a digital voltage display.
