However, an eliminator is just a big (well, smallish... big relative to those in the PGM!) capacitor, which takes a charge from the AC generator and stores it... erm, kind of like a battery does!
It's doing the same job effectively; it just weighs a fraction of a lead acid battery. The difference is it won't hold a charge in the same way as a battery.
As I say, I only speak from my personal experience. The NSR500V won't run without a battery pack, the F3 barely made it back to the pits (you should know that, Les, you were there!), and we've had to replace old batteries on MC21s and MC28s when they wouldn't run cleanly on the dyno. Just my experiance.
