Thats a very interesting idea. I suppose so. The problem would be that the capacitor has to 'absorb' enough energy before it can provide its resovoir effect and provide power while the batteries are cranking the engine. So between the ignition switching on, and the voltage drop I would not think that there would be enough time for the capacitor to charge up. Typically a capacitor this capacious would be used very close to an amp to provide a little extra when the amp is drawing peak loads.

Interesting thought though. I'll have to think about that some more. If it could be workable, it would certainly be a cost effective solution.
