How to Choose the Right Battery?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Please read lower not a versus thread (using these two batteries as examples)

I know a good amount about car audio except some of the more detailed stuff: box math, tuning, batteries...

I've been looking up alternative batteries to the almighty XS D3100 and I found the Deka Intimidator 9A31.

Side by side the Deka Intimidator 9A31 and the XS D3100 look pretty similar:

Basically what I'm getting at is can someone maybe briefly explain how I determine what size battery I need for any size audio application in a vehicle? What specs are WE (car audio heads) interested in? Etc...

I couldn't find information on the MAXIMUM OUTPUT of the Deka Intimidator...the XS D3100 says its maximum output is 5000 amps. How do I determine maximum output?

Thank you so much for the read and spending your time helping out an amateur! Knowledge is power! smiley.gif

I've heard very good things about the XS Power. I have a buddy that runs the XS with 2 18 Incriminators and he loves them. I haven't really heard much about the Dekas.
