Schofiel: It's a brand new car, literally right off the lot. It doesn't need a new battery. That is the normal amount of voltage drop for that make/model of Honda.

Hugo: I crank the engine very briefly, it's a brand new car and starts more easily than any car I've owned. I'm not trained in electronics theory, so I'm unclear on exactly how to purchase and wire such a capacitor/diode system. However, this option sounds very attractive to me as I don't want to shell out the extra cash for a Lightning Cap if I don't need to. Could you give a more detailed description?
