I need help with a lighting project/upgrade that I am doing. Ive been trying to figure out what capacitor size to use without using a battery. Ive upgraded my charging system to 250w and I know I have plenty of current to continuously run the lights. The system will retain the factory 12v system. The ballasts require 4-6amp initial start up current. Its a total loss system so I have no battery for stored current. I want to use a capacitor to store the needed start up current when I turn the lights on. I dont want to add a battery due to weight and available space thus the idea of running a capacitor. Ive dealt with 1 & 2f caps in car stereo applications but think those sizes are overkill for what I need.
Id appreciate any advice I can get.
Thank you
