Wire CVA constant wire straight to the battery or to the cap.... problem will be solved.

The mini caps is not a permanent solution, just a temporary one. Caps are quick charge...quick discharge so you may still get the dimming effect even if you use a larger cap inline of the power wire for the CVA.
