So what's your course of action when a customer complains about
flickering or dimming headlamps/dash lights, but he's not having any
battery charging problems?

Bull****. If their stock electrical system can't supply the current to
keep lights from dimming, then they are having charging problems. They
need to upgrade their ground paths (hint: that stock 10 gauge to the
fender isn't helpting), sometimes the alternator, but the last thing you
should think about adding to an otherwise healthy electrical system is a
cap. Caps really only become necessary on large multi-amp systems.

Do you tell him to "suck it up and live
with it", or do you sell him a high-capacity alternator or lower-ESR
battery that he doesn't really need?


There's the keyword: "sell". There's more money to be made selling
people caps and batteries than a few feet of heavy gauge wire.
