smoothing capacitor will start it even faster... this can supply the amperage faster then a lead acid battery



Fastest Tahoe start in a 1/10th of second

looks like it took longer for the computer to communicate more then anything

Is that what they’re using in these cars that shut down when you stop then they start up as you let off the brake?

I'd like to know more about this. Where can I find info and how to install? Google search didn't bring up anything relevant.
Super capacitors

When I had this problem is ended up being my negative battery cable. Push the battery cables against the firewall while trying to start it. After replacing the negative battery cable I never had this issue again.

I already replaced all my battery cables in the past, and had since made sure they were all in good working order and protected using di-electric grease. They are not crusty/corroded, so it wasn't the cables. I wished it was, because it would have been a simple fix.

So far, the new starter has been awesome. No choking, just immediate startup. 1920 cranking amps (1540 cold) sure does help though! :Big Laugh:
