Has anyone thought of using capacitors between the inverter and battery? Would this work

The new car audio stiffeners, are actually hybrid supercaps. http://absoluteusa.com

Supercaps are quite a bit harder to spec and wire. It isn't as simple as a battery.

and AFIK, they cannot be stacked in series to get higher voltage than 12V. And the "specs" on that page have no voltage range, internal resistance or any electronic spec.

I don't know if that module can be stacked or not. It is a module with several caps in series and some sort of charge control plus the display, etc.
The caps I was looking were the lic supercaps, like:

If you want just a module. You might have to ask them about 48v though, their highest rated one was 45v, which I am sure is a limitation of their configuration, and not so much a limitation of the hybrid technology. Since the individual modules are stacked parallel and in series like regular caps.
