trjohnst Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Im looking to buy a battery to help reduce my voltage drops in my car. It is a 91 Accord with the big 3, 1/0 Knu wire, BC2000D amp, and 1 AQ HDC3 15". I have a new stock 8o (eighty) amp alt and a fairly new (3 month) old Honda OEM battery. Any suggestions on a good/lower price battery for the trunk of my car for my amp. Im thinking a XS Power or Kinetik battery. I tried posting on the XS Power forum, but got no response. Help me out and if you know a website/place to get a cheap new one, let me know!

Blackedout Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 XS power or stinger lead the car audio industry in batteries. Quote Trunk Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supercharged DCs Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 (edited) Largest XS Power battery you can fit under the hood (D3400 and up) Pm Corona_Jeff I've found he has the best prices for batteries.

Supercharged DCs Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I wouldn't recommend keeping the battery under the hood, as it's probably not AGM. It isn't good to mix AGM and non AGM batteries... But if your stuck on keeping it, I'd do a D3100 in the rear. Quote Bassless once again.

trjohnst Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 The reason I want to keep it is because it is brand new. Ive never heard of C&D, might have to look into that, what size though?

Berto Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 I'm not gonna say it's better than the D3100, because it hasn't really been tested an I'm not gonna base it in size. But the C&D belittled the D3100. We decided to weigh it and it came in at a whopping 100lbs. I can measure it and get you dimensions and model of it later.

Supercharged DCs Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Upgrade your alternator then, you won't be taking up any trunk room with a H/O alt lol. Quote Bassless once again.
