I do not use capacitors, and perhaps I should not rotate my batteries from what has been said here.
Since we can measure the work leaving the primary battery with traditional measuring devices, I have never really cared how fast they discharged (though they do not seem to discharge unreasonably fast). What I have always been much more concerned with is the comparison of the work used to power the unit and the work the charging batteries are able to produce as a result.
As a side note-for over a year I was in a living situation where I had to position a wireless repeater in a location where there was no electrical outlet. I used deep cycle marine batteries and an inverter. Prior to using batteries charged with my unit, they were lasting about 2 days between conventional charges. When I started using the same batteries (not the same model, but the EXACT SAME Batteries) that had been charged and conditioned with my SG unit, they last 4-4.5 days between charges.
