Rebuilding Mac Portable batteries with caps

I've been thinking about rebuilding some Mac Portable batteries, and
instead of putting in the Cyclon or whatever leadacid cells I am planning
on just using a good sized capacitor with maybe some kind of current
limiting resistor. The goal isn't for portable use, but just to keep the DC
smooth and provide the "kick" to get the hard drive spun up. Opinions?

Marvin you still have those caps?
