Furthermore, car audio caps usually have a max voltage of 18-20 volts, so you would only be able to use a single battery (12v) battery with that cap, else put them in series which halves the capacitance. So it would take 4 of those caps to get 30 farads on a 24v setup. 60F would need 8. Therein lies the big issue with running high voltages with caps.
If you look that cap is actually for 24V
