The Coolest Truck Battery Upgrade You Never Knew About! (Bolt In Supercapacitor!)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Before installing the new capacitor, the truck is started with its existing Autocraft/Diehard Gold batteries (about 2 months old) to establish a baseline for cold starting performance. The process involves waiting for the glow plug light to turn off before attempting to start the engine, capturing the cranking duration.

Goal: Record the cold start performance with existing batteries.
