Just looking for some opinions. I just installed a Lightning digital cap into my system. I have 2 Optima yellow top batteries,but I'm still only getting a reading of a maximum 12.0 volts. I bought the cap off of ebay and it has a dent in it. Can this dent be causing the problem that I'm having? Do I need another cap? The batts are brand new and have been checked out to be OK.

Any insight will be appreciated.

I am a former IASCA competitor.I competed from 90'-94'in FLA. I once took 4th place honors at the Spring Break Nationals in 94'w/my Purple 87'Hyundai Excel. It was one of the top cars 51-100 am.

Check all of your other connections. Make sure you have a good clean ground, make sure your fuse isn't corroded, make sure there isn't any corrosion on your wiring. You should also take a meter to the cap and see what voltage you are getting, the cap voltage gauge could be messed up.
