Really? My understanding was that a cap would smooth out the voltage so the regulator wouldn't be struggling to keep the voltage at 14.4.
I'm running a 140a alternator (stock is 95), the extra battery is mostly an insurance policy (I have a battery isolator, bypassed it right now due to the second battery dying), and I have notice that the lights dim much more without the dedicated battery.
