should i get a second battery or would a capacitor be just fine?

Capacitor won't do because it's only going to charge as much as your alternator will allow your best bet is to get a high output alternator but it's deffinetly worth the investment these amps are beasts I started with one of them and with my subs try blow my buddies jl w7s right out of the water with his jl amp

To get all the power from the amp I would run two battery plus the battery you already have soThat would be 3 total battery.. I have 2 of those amp an I am running 5 battery and boy it's banging

IN My opinion capacitors are a joke they are like a expensive as volt meter that's all the basically are if you want extra back up go with a battery don't waste your money on a cap

Well I have an 09 escape and it worked just fine but I was running all 0gauge and My stock alt was 150 amp I had minimal dimming but a second battery would be great but depending on your application you have weather u have to or not

There is only ONE battery. My suggestion is to change it and you should be good to go.

As an add on to my earlier comment- I would suggest getting an auxiliary battery. You can find them on Ebay or Amazon for about 20 dollars or less.

require 2 batteries but you should have 4. 2 spare and charged in case of emergency.

Don't run a cap because it will drain your battery. Just get a strong battery.

Yes to all. You will likely want another battery as a back-up and a larger memory card. There are many battery brands, other than Nikon, that are significantly less expensive.

Honestly do not know for sure. If it has the same issue then I would say yes. If your problem ends up being a faulty capacitor then yes.

Yes, but you should buy at least one extra battery, just to be on the same side.

You would have to stack the batts and since you at 3 v now, I would not suggest doubling at 6v. I'd look for another battery. Not very dependable.

I believe you just store the second battery for when you need it. What I would try is when the first battery dies switch them around and see if it still works. I was under the impression it would use them as needed so you would not lose power until both batteries were dead but not sure this is the case. I hope this helps.

Defective Battery. I store mine in the house all winter. Over-exposure to the cold can deplete even an ION/Lithium cell faster than normal. Had it about three years, has enough charge to get my mid-sized lot/yard done. I recommend having a second battery if you can afford one anyhow, so both are ready to go if one dies out, the job can be finished. Still cheaper than using Gas, just as effective, if not more. Plus, if you can manage to get a solar charger, the possibilities are endless.

I have not timed it, but I have not had my battery run out on me yet. Unless you have a great price on a second battery, why not give it a try with just the one and see if you in fact do not need the second.

I have only one battery, but you do not two unless You are using a lot--this battery will last for a long and is quite fast to be get it off the batter. I don't use what you use, so you may two batteries.

Yes, You should put a charge controller in line to batteries, rated at the proper amps/watts so you don't overcharge batt.

You would need two of them to be 100% safe but if u are using matching lipos they should drain at the same rate ......so if u ran one and stopped as soon as the beeper went off u would probably be ok .....but I would recommend using one for each battery

We always bring a second one just in case. The charge on the battery lasts us for weeks but it always seems to die right when we want to use it so having a second battery is a necessity for us.

You would need to know the cap. Voltage also. No more than a capacitor costs it's a good insurance policy to replace it.
