My advice is don't connect it. Sell it on Ebay and buy a high output alt. But if you really want to, D/C the Batt and hook it up. If the battery is D/C, then it will not be charged and will not matter.

Sell it and buy some 4 gauge or bigger wire and upgrade your big three first.

a cap is just a bandaid for a bullet wound (qutoed from a very wise man). the bullet wound being your alternators lack of ability to keep up with the power draw.
