The last I heard most batteries don't like to be discharged in less than 5 minutes or recharged in less than 10. If that is true for the Ram system that means that your are limited to 5,000 watts (about 6hp) of assist and half that on braking. Also, from what I have heard it is only used in first and second gear when the truck is probably traction limited anyway so it adds nothing to performance. The bottom line in my opinion is that it needs five to ten times the battery capacity to be truly useful.
