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

What happens here

The creator introduces the project, highlighting a cool battery upgrade for diesel trucks that many might not know about. He then unboxes the XS Power Batteries capacitor unit, emphasizing that it's a capacitor in a battery case, not a traditional battery. He explains its function to supplement the power system during starting, taking the heavy load off the main battery and potentially extending the main battery's life. He also shows a small light bulb, which is used for the initial charging of the capacitor.

Goal: Understand the purpose and components of the capacitor battery upgrade.

Tools and materials

  • Light Bulb — For initial, slow charging of the capacitor unit to prevent damage

improper use may result in personal injury and or equipment damage here comes the fun part we're going to show you something right now that is probably the coolest battery upgrade for your diesel truck duramax that you didn't even know about because we didn't even know about it i don't know the whole the whole concept just blew my mind sounds really cool haven't actually experienced it yet but we're gonna go through it and do it all in here and see how it goes basically what we're doing here we got this stuff from xs power batteries and this is the battery now the real magic happens over here this is not a battery it's very light it's you know in a battery case but it's actually a really big capacitor or a series of capacitors in a case that makes them be able to go into a regular battery spot it comes with a light bulb to charge it so you don't zap yourself uh which we're gonna have to figure out how to do here has instructions so you don't you know explode yourself and i trust these guys we've been using excess power batteries for a really long time and they're the best freaking batteries i've ever experienced like the very first one i got is still kicking in the escalade and it's been through a lot so if they say it works i trust them we're gonna see how it does what they have figured out is how the car audio guys would use capacitors to supplement their power systems with like hardcore sound systems they made it so you can take the second battery in your truck and use it as a capacitor so that when you start the truck it all comes from the capacitor it doesn't even come from the battery this battery stays charged you never even pull from it and i think i don't know they said that don't quote me on this but this capacitor will uh could like crank the truck for four hours or something i don't know isn't that what he said yeah like it has a battery life itself as it's not as substantial as a real battery but for what it does it doesn't need it because when you charge and discharge a conventional lead acid battery eventually it just can't take it anymore it dies well this capacitor it's full charge to discharge is like a million times or some something like that you basically have to start your truck and completely drain it 400 000 times for it to not work i don't know something ridiculous like that so this takes all the heavy load off of the actual battery to save the battery and it has i don't even know i wish i wrote down the numbers that he said but…
