Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

The gear ratio on the drive belts is 14.2:1 using RAWboxes. While the drive train definitely contributes to our issue, there's not much we can do about it with 6hours of unbag time.

Beyond just charging them, do you do any tests on them to gauge the batteries overall health?
