Difference in red/blue XS Power and Kinetik batteries?


Recommended Posts

Is there a difference in the red and blue XS Power and Kinetik batteries? Im looking at one for the trunk of my car. The Kinetik batteries are 1400 Amps at the same price as an XS Power battery that is 500 CCA. Does that mean the Kinetik batteries have more CCAs per money or are the Kinetik batt amps different from CCAs?

CCA is cold cranking amp which means the battery was tested in extreme cold and thats how many amps it puts out at that temperature. You cannot compare CCA to Amps. The difference in red and blue is one is starting and one is deep cell, so it all depends on your particular usage.

I guess the red and blue is "racing" and "audio" batteries, but I would almost consider the red batts as a starting bat because thats all they're meant to do is start the car and go down the track for a short period of time.

Ok, so if I am looking for a battery in trunk, then I should look for a blue battery since I will have a main one under the hood. If I am looking for a main battery, with no extra 1 in the back, then I should buy a red one.
