    I've never actually seen one of these things, but I imagine that a metal box with two wires poking into it that don't connect to anything would have approximately the same effect. The changes quoted are fantastically small.

    If anyone is willing to actually buy one of these things, I will be more than happy to pull it apart (in a reversable manner, assuming the manufacturer hasn't done anything silly), and tell you precisely what it does or doesn't do.

    It's a capacitor mate that's all

    Stores a charge for when you have any drops in voltage.

    Along the lines of the ones used for Audio equipment but on a smaller scale

    Maplins sell them for a few quid BUT they dont look as pretty lol

    You mean much like the whopping great battery does

    If it is just a capacitor, the only possible benefit it could be is that it has a lower internal resistance than the battery

    The reason for them is the voltage drop you get with high currents and the relatively long wires to the amp. Strapping a capacitor across the battery is likely to be an exercise in pointlessness

    On the other hand, capacitors directly across the supply inputs to various devices might make a difference because they will have a decoupling effect. Of course, if the devices need it, they're probably breaking/degrading in some way - if they need decoupling, they should have it built in anyway!
