scottiej Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Just a couple of quick notes: XP Series batteries are plenty strong enough for starting your car, but they were not designed to be used as the main power source under your hood. If you're using an XP2000 or larger and the battery is installed away from the engine heat, it is no problem to use it for engine starting as long as the cable is adequate to carry the current. Choosing which XP series battery to use is made fast and easy by referring to the part number. The model number is the wattage recommendation, so for example, if you have a 750W system, you should add the XP750 to your existing charging system. If you have a 2,000W system, choose the XP2000. If you are building a massive ground pounder with 30kW, you need 10 x XP3000's. If you want to add more capacity so it can play for extended periods of time, then add more as needed to create the desired capacity. It never hurts to have more capacity than needed... the more battery power you have, the higher your voltage will stay under load, and the louder your system will play.

optical Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 My dads got a firebird that starts fine when its cold but once it gets warm in a warmer day just doesnt have enough juice to wanna go.
