Simple newbie question

[Becker]

I was looking around on Radioactive's website, and I found things called caps, from 1 farad to 100. They look like they have electrical hookups on the tops. What exactly are these buggers? Wouldn't be a capacitator would they?

[BigBopper]

yep they are, keeps you from running bigger charging systems,

[THUMPER]

yup yup just dont get zap by one it can blow off a hand

i have a 12 farad cap i use in line

Are these hooked into the NEG side? or POS side?

Could it be hooked before a battery to filter alternator noise....
say, between POS of Alternator and Pos of Battery then grounded??

Just wondering, Thanks...
