Battery for amps in back???

I heard that instead of getting a cap, one can get a quick charging battery for like $70 that will help with amp draw on the Alt? As a cap costs about the same, what are your opinions?

I wouldn't do either. Try running off the alt itself, not the battery, or getting a beefier alt.

correct it has to be vented because of the poisonous gasses that some batteries release
