This is a neighborhood a mile away from the Lucas Oil Raceway, so the bass was rattling the windows more than an NHRA Nitro Car?

Complaint came in from a neighborhood over a mile away!!! Slamology............ got to love it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kV86tg2b_Us&feature=youtu.be

Most just use a Group 34 battery (S3400). Just measure it when you get it and make sure if will fit for you.

my voltage is alot better but it still isnt the best. my alternator is seriously messed up. my voltage never goes under 12 volts but i was hoping for it to never go under 13 but looks like i gotta get a mechman alternator before i plan on buying my highs amp. The only way to stay in the 13+ volt range is to never exceed your alternators output capabilities. For example if you have a 5K watt amp then you would need at least 550amps of alternator power to stay above 12.9v.

Should be good!

Run 1 Run 2 Feels like a punch to the chest standing in the door! Run 3

Congrats Rob and Rusty!!! Run #1 Run #2 Run #3

Thanks to all the competitors and everyone that came to Slamology. Great show and a DOMINATING show for XS Power. More World Records, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishes than I could keep up with in IASCA and dB Drag.

As long as the red top isn't old and already wore out you should be good!

Looks good!!!

FedEx is soooooo much better than UPS.

You can do that or just get a distro from toolmaker. The distro would have less resistance.

The battery in your picture is a 34/78. The S3400 is a Group 34 battery. Just to make sure you may want to measure your available room and make sure it will fit. If you get the D3400 you will also need a set of 580 posts.

I am not going to say the desulfation mode on chargers is more hype than proven technology, but the desulfation mode on chargers is a lot of hype..........lol You can do the same thing by cycling the battery (charging and loading, charging and loading, charging and loading, ...). The desulfation mode is basically just a pulse charge where it chargers higher than normal in pulses to try to break up the sulfation.

3400 under the hood and you should be good. You are still going to drop into the 12V range, because a 12V battery will only sit at 12.9V with a load on the battery. Anything over 12.9V is alternator power.

Like said above make sure to plan on battery chargers. If not you will kill that alt in no time.

I would almost guarantee you it is not a bad cell. If it is a bad cell it will not be in the 12V range. If the battery sat for 3 years then it has so much sulfation built up in the battery it has killed a good portion of the lead plates in the battery. If this is the case, then you will not be able to bring it back.

Why would you not have all of your amps running from the same bank? If you are looking for a battery around the size of the 3400, then I would look at using the XP2000 for your bank. I would recommend at least 8.

How? You leave the charger hooked up to the batteries for 12-24 hours after the light goes green.

I would recommend charging the battery for a full 12-24 hours. The charger will not over charge the battery, and the slow absorption charge will top off the battery nicely. The HF chargers are set to go into absorption mode a little faster than what the 1005 or 1004 charger would. The lights will change over and show it is charged, but to really top them off the absorption for about 12-24 hours will do the trick. This is the case especially if you are charging with the battery still installed in the vehicle. Doesn't have to be a full 12-24 hours, but if you have the time it will work.

This is a Mechman special, so calling them would be the best thing to do.

14.4V max is what the instructions that come with the battery will show.
