Systems focused distributor- more shields?

So as most players know, putting more pips to shields increases the strength of said shields. My question is, does the engineer upgrade "system focused" have any effect on shield strength? The description says it increases system capacity and recharge rate; does this mean more shield strength or does it just mean your system will recharge faster and have more bars to drain for when shields break? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
 
Yep, more capacit and faster recharge. But on the whole, I prefer the charge enhanced mod. Increases recharge across the board. In my experience, it's the most efficient during combat.
I don't often find myself draining all systems to the max at once. So there's always one system recharging. I haven't actually investigated it in-depth, but I tried both focused mods and charge enhanced, and the latter just feels more efficient. Ymmv of course.
