Probably not that hard to run a few temp. wires to the regulator and such. If I cooked the stator or something, I would wish I had. But I don't know if it's needed or not. JImChuk

I understand. Just make sure to meet any minimum load requirements if the regulator requires it.

Bob Nuckolls (AeroElectric Connection) has stated:
"As long as you have a battery on line,
the capacitor serves no demonstrable
purpose."
It's actual intended purpose seems to be a mystery to many owners, but I do not believe that it is there as a noise filter as many seem to think. I tend to generally believe and accept what Bob says, and it seems like Lowell's experience probably tends to confirm his statement. I'm guessing that the capacitor provides some kind of a buffer if the battery is disconnected, preventing unwanted bad things from happening?

Thanks guys for the info. JImChuk
I bought the capacitor for my Rotax 912UI because I heard that if I use an EarthX battery, I will want the "cleaner" power supplied to the charging system. Im so gullible. Although, my source is a demigod in the Kitfox community.
Dare I say his name? nope.
