BassJunkie Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Well I'm going to pick up 5 kinetik batts tonight and I'm wondering if I should just leave my current big lead acid batts for mo powa or if I should just pull them out?? I figure charging voltage is charging voltage and mixing shouldn't matter but I'm just curious as to what your opinions are. I think the kinetiks should be enough for a crescendo and mbquart, 4 hc1400's and an hc2400. 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

TeamHT Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Many people, sadly I'm not one of them, can estimate current draw based off of the company alone, lol. Which crescendo amp? Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the kinetiks should be enough for a crescendo and mbquart, 4 hc1400's and an hc2400. Different sizes of the same batteries is fine. Parallel batteries of the same type work essentially like 1 large cell so the voltage will rise the same for all of them. Components in parallel V1=V2=V3=Vx - Likewise when you are discharging them the small one will not go flat first, they will discharge equally. The issue with mixing AGM and wet cell batteries is the float voltage. AGMs float quite a lot higher than wet cells normally so there will be a charge imbalance between the batteries. Since everything will tend towards equilibrium the batteries will constantly try to balance themselves out which eventually results in everything being flat. In the real world however... it doesn't matter. I've run stock batteries up front (CBF modding for bigger ones) with AGM battery banks in the back and never had any issues with either charging or the car going flat.

skittlesRgood Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 i constantly hear that its bad to mix battery types. i have never seen anything bad happen from doing it though.

Skullz Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 The key to mixing batteries is to make sure that they are all fully charged when you begin hooking them up or you can have some problems. EDIT: I'm referring to all other batteries except the dry cell optima ones. 01 Ford focus ZX3 Pioneer AVH-X491BHS PPI PC 4800.2 Morel Maximo 6.5" x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassJunkie Posted May 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Thanks for the replies, im going to try it, maybe do a test, put my agm bank in and test the resting voltage for a few days and then put the lead acid in and repeat.

skittlesRgood Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 its not about charging the batteries 1st and its not a resting voltage thing. the different batteries will discharge at different rates and have different resistances. therefor more stress will be put on some batteries and not others. the same thing can happen with alternators.

BassJunkie Posted May 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Oh ok I gotcha...they ended up not being kinetiks...dunno how I feel about these but i'll give them a shot for the price i paid 1986 C20 Suburban 9 American Bass XFL 15's B2 M1MKII 14v XS Power Batteries Maxwell Caps Acoustical energy is free.

skittlesRgood Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 shiruken? those are the same as kinetiks. made at the same place and both companies just resell them.
