I have a small battery, so I thought it would be a good idea to get a capacitor to help smooth out heavy hits to the alternator, BUT I'm only familiar with microfarad units and didn't know how big a real farad was. So I have a cap bigger than my battery, where the gently caress do I put this thing?


Be careful with that thing. It will be capable of discharging a couple hundred amps.

That makes me think it's a current issue. Are you just using a power supply right now to drive it? May be worth messing with the settings on it such trying it in constant current mode. I've used electric motor drivers before that would make the motors make a grinding sound if they were fed the wrong amount of current.
