Sheena Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 Whoever "they" is, I would not listen to. Sounds like an uneducated shop that does not sell XS and wants you to buy whatever brand they carry. wasnt a shop lol, i'd never ask a question at a shop because of exactly that reason. they'd try and sell me their brand. so just a straight answer regardless of who i heard it from. sealed is fine for a few years under the hood? (hhr ed said fine, and im not questioning him) but im still open to hear a more scientific reason if possible because if i ever try and persuade someone into buying a sealed agm, they will want to know why.

Trigg Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I've been running a sealed optima battery under the hood of my jeep for the last 3 years and no problems at all, and I live in Florida. So the answer to your question is no the heat does NOT bother the sealed batteries at all.. Quote there is some VERY hard headed people out there. Anyone who says a DD-1 isnt necessary is also saying an O-scope isnt necessary. Anyone who says an O-scope IN THE MINIMUM isnt necessary, is a noob. Forget the DD-1 for a minute, any reputable installer will at LEAST use an O-scope. Those guys in that thread are clowns. Hard headed clowns.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 If you "over" heat any sealed battery, they "will" expand and potential swell if they don't squeal like a pig first. So heat can make them do this, I had one of mine do it actually but XS took care of it with a replacement battery I just had to cover shipping.

MrSkippyJ Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 I'd worry more about a wet cell battery in heat. No shit man, i left a couple wet cells in my garage once, and one lonely wet cell in heat got them all pregnant. No problems with any dry cells ever.

stevog Posted January 8, 2012 Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 i dont think you should have a problem since its sometimes more hot inside the car than outside. the car audio shop probably wanted to try and sell you something else more expensive.

Sheena Posted January 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2012 as previously stated wasnt a shop lol, i'd never ask a question at a shop because of exactly that reason. they'd try and sell me their brand. but thank you ami customs for that type of response, the kind that actually helps. can it happen? yes if it happens xs fixes it for shipping. (in your situation anyways) eventually i'll be buying a xs for under my hood, i just did not want to be blind on something i was buying myself, it works perfect for others, cool, but for my situation ima ask questions. so again thanks guys, my question was answered.
