I have read the articles on accelerating, and from what I understand, you
can add a switch to change between the two different capacitors. Use the
old capacitor when the 85 is off and when you have it on, use the new one.
This will save batteries from draining out as quickly. If you use this
method, you shouldn't notice much change in the use of the batteries.
