If your alternator isn't charging, then I would suggest contacting an alternator company about getting a new one. You may want to check all your connections on the alternator and make sure everything is secure.

Big 3 will always get you better performance even on stock set up. No problem with the alt.

That $0.35 could save you $$$$$$$

This should answer the questions of what the differences are.

$164.98 shipped and yes it would fit.

What is the difference between XS Power and their battery?

The less lead you have in the battery the less power the battery can actually provide. All that open space that is not filled with the lead plates to the top of the battery is just wasted space in the battery. The more surface area you have the more power the battery can produce. One example is our D1600 and S1600. The S1600 is for racing applications that want to save weight. The D1600 weighs 48lbs the S1600 weighs 30lbs. The extra weight of the D1600 is made up of lead in the battery, so the S1600 weighs less because it doesn't have as much weight in it. The D1600 is rated at 2400 Max Amps, 675CA, 55AH, and 84 RC. The S1600 is rated at 2000 Max Amps, 500CA, 50 RC, and 25 AH. They are both the same physical size, but because the D1600 has more lead it is much more powerful. There are a lot of things that are different in the batteries and there are some videos in the works that will show the differences. The technology used, lead plate sizes, inter-cell connectors (buss bars), and battery pads are just a few differences. It is a cheaper brand of battery.

Oh how many times have I been asked that question. I wouldn't still have to be working if I had a $1 for each time I have read "all batteries are the same" on the forums. In the past I have been able to tell you the differences, and post up info on the differences......................... but now...................... I get to post up video and show some informative videos that will help you make your decisions on which batteries to purchase. I hope that these videos will allow you to make a more informed decision when you make your next purchase. Lets face it XS Power batteries are expensive and there are a lot of companies out there that are cheaper and claim to provide great performance. People ask all the time why XS Power costs so much more than some of the other batteries, and I look forward to the opportunity to show what the differences are and where costs can be cut to make a battery that appears to be the same. So, make sure to check out our YouTube channel and stay tuned for some very interesting, informative, and funny videos coming up in the near future!!! YouTube - 4xspower's Channel

What vehicle is it going in and is it for daily use?

The D2400 will fit in the stock location, but the terminals are reversed, so all you would need to do is extend the cables if they do not have enough slack already to reach. Once you upgrade you will want to look at adding another battery for anything over daily use.

Keep the videos coming in.

Got a few this morning looks like. Anyone can enter, but may have to pay shipping if out of the Cont 48.

Most put a D3100 in the front spot and a D3400 in the back spot under the hood. The direct replacement is a Group 124R battery. That is not a very common group size and we do not have a direct replacement for that battery, but it looks like the D5100R should fit in there easily and the posts will be on the correct sides for you. The D3100s would be my suggestion for the back if you have the room. Sounds like its going to be a nice build.

That is very low amperage for a charger. It's more like a maintainer. Optimal charge amperage is 15amps. There have been a few that have posted up some bad experiences with those chargers.

I would do a D3400 in the back and then upgrade the battery under the hood when you can.

D3100 is over your $250 budget. If this is for daily use and going to be used as a secondary battery then you could go with the D3400 and you will get more performance out of it than the one in the link you posted. $259.99 plus shipping.

Ok, Steve was good enough to sign some stuff for us, so we can give it away to some lucky people. The first give away will include a signed XS Power shirt, hat, and literature along with one of our new posters. How can I enter to win? Well all you have to do to enter is make an XS Power video. It can contain whatever you want (nobody should be harmed during the video) as long as XS Power is part of the video. You could make a video showing off your install and the XS Power products, you could make a video of the gains you saw from installing the XS Power products, it could be an instructional video on a XS Power product, or maybe even a video of XS Power clips you have complied into one video.................. it doesn't matter. Use your creativity and send in the videos. Just put it together and email a link or the file to [email protected] . Videos for the competition must be submitted by Friday April 29th, 2011. You can submit more than one video for the contest. Once you get your video finished just email it to [email protected]. Just to make this 100% clear to enter your video into the competition you must email it to [email protected]. You can post them up here, but the video will not be entered into the giveaway unless you email it also. I will probably post up some of the videos here and on some of our other sites along with our Facebook and YouTube sties, so when you email in the video you give XS Power the right to use the video.

Great information here and in the above posts.

Nice pics guys!

D3400 is $259.99 plus shipping.

There is no such thing as a team price sheet. It is on a case by case basis with the product and info you submitted on your sponsorship proposal.
