I am just making sure I have got the right understanding of what I hope to do and achieve.
My Car is a 2.0L Diesel ( Mondeo 2.0 , 2010 powershift )
My 3 Months old battery seems to struggle a bit in winter (1-1-2021) Due to only 5 mins drive to get to work and 5 mins to get back once finished for the day with maybe an extra 5 mins if I need to do a bit of shopping, I don’t feel the car battery is getting charged enough . Winter i do have heaters on , front and back winscreen heaters to remove ice . Heated seats on , Wipers on , Radio on and even lights on full on way back home.
The problem am facing. I have installed and android mirror with dash cam and sat nav that goes to sleep after 5 mins (stay on unless I switch it off manually, which i don't). This is installed with a permanent live from the fuse box (not sure which fuse as I did not fit it). When the battery is Low (shows voltage on dash) on starting the car in morning, the android mirror goes off and then comes back on after car is started. This only started happening in past month with less driving and cold start in morning and sometimes starting car to go back home.
The voltage shows about 12.3v in morning but once i start the car it drops to about 8V at times and 9V sometimes . at 8V the andriod mirror goes off and back on ( which is not good for it ) . Just incase i may want to see what it is.

After much reading up and watching video of benefits of capacitors I decided to purchase
2-5V-100F-Super-Farah-Capacitor-Module-15V-16-6F-Automotive-Rectifier-12V.
eBay item number 392081001866
Specification:
Voltage: 12-16V
Capacity: 16.6-18F
Working temperature: -20-70°C
Volume: length 120* height 62*thickness 20MM
The main performance: Low ESR characteristics, high current can replace the battery.
advertised as Automotive Rectifier
Once i got this wired and connected to the car battery and left on all the time .
1. I am assuming the power amperage from this ( am estimating around 70 amps ? ) due to this item :
https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Set-Supe...-16F-Engine-Starting-Cars-Truck-/264014147165
2. This will help the cold morning start up by supporting the battery with extra starting (cranking power) 70 amps (not full, but should help, without killing the capacitors) as the remaining amps will come from the battery.?
3. Will also help increase the car battery life and help with other car electrical stuff by keeping a stable voltage and power.?
Or am I missing something?
P.S i am still waiting for
2.5V 100F Super Farad Capacitor Module 15V
