capacitors
If you live off grid and have tools it might be useful to have all capacitor start tools to avoid
sucking your batteries too much...if you have some tools that are not cap start can you just wire a cap inline to the hot wire?? Are some caps specific for this purpose ??? and could you wire 2 caps in a row to start a fridge or a small tablesaw???

I don't even understand the question. Most (all?) items that use a motor have a cap incorporated in the wiring already.
Smaller things like drills and table top fans wouldn't benefit at all.

A capacitor by itself won't help anything start easier. A capacitor combined with a start winding is a different story.
