There is no such thing as a "free" lunch in electronics. Although small that capacitor will draw a small current and increase your current drain. Best solution - just buy the proper sized battery for your individual system in the first place.
I don't think you're understanding me. What I meant was the capacitor is just a extra precaution, no one needs to use connector safety clips to fly, but it sure is comforting to have them. Its a nice-ity not a necessity.
