Awesome if you have a work model of the vehicle with the smaller alternator and need some buffer for your battery.

The price for this unit was great, but the performance was not good.... I have a 4000 watt digital amp and this cap should be able to handle it without a problem BUT it is not that good..... i would only use this for 2000 watt max.
