tejarillo Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 So i was wondering if any batteries for marine use would be ok or can stand up to car audio battery, like autozone or valuecraft batteries that are sold at my local autozone for cheap compared to the price range with other brands. i know theres other batteries i heard off that are specially for car audio like xs power, kinetik, optima which some of you people hate and i heard of odessey which arent ment for car audio but work. So if anyone know any batteries that do good at car audio and arent really expensive or any recommendations would be great im looking for couple of batteries to help with the dimming lights in my car and avoid getting stranded far from home cause of battery issue.

14dbass Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I like Kinetik batteries they are cheap and work well. Especially compared to anything autozone sells. But XS power will be better quality and a little more expensive but you get what you pay for in batteries.

14dbass Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I don't know about those but if it is not sealed you do not want it inside your car only under the hood.

theChief Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 Shuriken batteries are pretty cheap. I've been told they are made by the same manufacturer as kinetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdblue Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 there is also shuriken which are usually less expensive than XS. I may use them in my next build if I can't catch the XS group buy Quote AA-Atomic-Clif Designs-DC-Diamond-Digital Designs-Directed-Eclipse-Fi-Hertz-Hifonics-Kenwood-Memphis-Phoenix Gold-Pioneer-PPI-PSi-Stinger-Sundown-TC Sounds-Viper-Zapco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQMonte Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 You could use those...but my sales rep for MK told me I shouldn't mix battery types and/or capacities due to different charge/discharge rates.

Guest DC Power Kyle Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Marine batteries are meant for small discharge over a long period of time. You need a battery that is capable of a fast discharge with minimal voltage loss. Big difference in a battery that can do 5 amps for 24 hours or a battery that can do 600 amps for 2 minutes straight.
