volvowith18psi Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm curious what makes your product THE battery for the car audio world? What sets your product apart from everybody else? Why should we spend the 300+ bucks on this product, when XXX battery's carry the same "characteristics" but for a cheaper price and can be bought/fixed/returned from the local store? Now, to play devils advocate: Why do your battery's "swell" and "deform" from normal charging applications built in our cars/trucks/etc.., from the factory? I do comprehend the idea behind a HO alt, "the gases forming inside, etc..," however, most normal applications with them adhere to factory charging voltage limits, even though they are 2-3 times more powerful. Just a few questions from an uninformed consumer. Not trying to make this a debate, vr thread. I simply what to know why I should spend the top notch money on this product vrs others...

ChevyBoy95 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 i use kinetik, but XS has i think the FASTEST discharge rate aka more power FASTER than any other battery on the market, with i think it was stinger who was the only one close. Plus you can't deny what you see them in, and how great the CS is. You dont always pay ONLY for the product, i would rather pay more and get great CS than pay less and get shitty CS. XS is the way to go if you have the money, period.

volvowith18psi Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm all about top notch CS. Most will pay extra just for that reason, myself included. Not trying to make that a majority factor in these questions. Its like a full service car wash, some will open your door for you and call you air/mam, drive the car for you, unscrew your antenna etc.., but when you get in and drive away, you notice they didnt even move the mats to vacuum....Others don't do any of that, yet the employee is on his hands and knees cleaning the spokes of your rims.... Bad analogy, I know... However, I was meaning more towards the product itself side of things. Again, just questions from an under-informed consumer trying to make the best choice in available products.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan @ XSpower Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 There are a lot of threads on the forum that goes over the differences, but I will give you the short and sweet answer. Virgin lead with lead-tin technology. Lead-tin technology allows us to use much thinner plates, which also allows us to put more lead into the battery. The thinner the plates the faster the battery can recover when the load is off of the battery. Also we use larger and high quality inter-cell connectors (the busing system that connects the cells together), which allows the discharge rate to be faster. So in short it is the higher quality internals that are used that really makes the difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan @ XSpower Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 And with all that aside our batteries were designed by World Champions with World Records in car audio. Who better to know what a car audio battery needs than competitors that have been there and done that instead of talking about what could have been.
