The capacitor you need to do this probably costs more than the bigger battery, without giving you any increase in capacity that you would get with a battery. This is kind of a weird edge case where it's probably not absurdly expensive, but still more expensive than just using a bigger battery.
Now, we have ready access to supercapacitors, which are still fairly inexpensive, but can deliver a ton of current.
Here's an example of a website selling them, as you can see, they have rather high energy density and fairly low pricing.
