crunkjuice1 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 S versions casing more durable for under hood applications and come with posts. The D series don't have posts and are really shouldn't be used under hood but people go against the grain and do it anyways. he S versions case is better suited to withstand heat better.

Always thought it was the XP series that shouldn't go under the hood, but it's making me want to reconsider an S3400 over the D3400 for future electrical upgrades since I live in Florida, where regular batteries only last 3 years due to heat.

Nathan @ XSpower Posted July 23, 2012 Report Share Posted July 23, 2012 The S and D series 12V batteries are the same exact battery, case, and performance. S version has red decals and comes with automotive posts. Usually the S version is about $10 more. D version has blue decals and doesn't come with terminals. A set of terminals usually runs about $10. The S series in the 14v and 16V batteries are the light weight version and the D series along with the XP1000 is the heavier version. XP 12V should never be used under the hood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
