Certain systems or environments demand a smooth DC voltage. Any alternator - and Vape systems are basically alternators - produces alternating current first. It gets rectified to DC but still inherits a certain and variable frequency (depending on engine revolutions) which may disturb direction indicators, horns and sometimes even lights.
A battery is technically a large capacitor and solves the problem by absorbing that unwanted frequency, smoothing the current.
If there is no battery in the system, you will need a condenser in the following cases (and only in those cases). our ignition/lighting systems if:
you use a Vape Magdyno without battery (here you otherwise will not get correct light output)
Important: If you use this condenser WITHOUT a battery you should always have lights on, at least a bulb of 2 watts. Without some draw (lights on) the condenser will gather all produced voltage (which could be up to 50 volts). When you than switch on lights this amount of voltage may blow your bulbs. Has the light been switched on before starting the engine (sure as there is no battery it will not shine) than there is no problem.
Note: the condenser is NO voltage storing device, even though it gets fitted in place of the battery. NO parking light would function, not one second.
