Adding a capacitor to the Turnigy Aquastar 120 A speedy
My Jersey Skiff has a rather long run between the speedy and the batteries now that I found the correct CG by moving the batts to the back. Even with dedicated cooling to the SC it comes in a little too hot for comfort, so to reduce the ripple current* I'm thinking an additional cap will help . ( *Actually I prefer Ripple Strawberry but that's another story )
Stripped the batt wires close to the SC and tinned them

prepped cap; shrink on cap wires keeps it insulated

soldered on SC wires

insulated solder joints with shrink & secured with a larger band of shrink

Nothing new here, just thought someone might be helped by this.
