looks like they are trying to pass it off as doing basically what a capacitor does for a stereo system, by being a power storage device and putting out some juice when the battery/alternator are lagging.....

its bullpooey though, if i were going to try something along the same lines as this, i would just buy a mower battery and wire it up....OR better yet just use the money towards a better alternator and/or battery

I have no idea what it's supposed to be or do. Looks like a way for the seller to make a quick buck in these troubled times to me, by selling people a "Miracle cure". JMO
