Big vs Little batteries?


Recommended Posts

so i was thinking of upgrading my system,

so obviously i need the juice to back it up.

so theoretically, if i was fully content with my system upgrade(2k-3k rms),

and i wanted to get some batteries in the trunk,

what would be the differences in getting two smaller batteries vs 1 larger battery?

(with the 2 smaller ones matching specs of the larger one)

Depends, it would be easier to maintain one battery rather than two smaller ones. Why not just get a pretty good battery so you just can add more of them later down the road. Plus it would be less wire to do one battery.

it is easy to say just get a D3100. they are 370 bux. thats expensive man. ahah

OP most likely 2 smaller bats would be more money though if they were to equal the bigger one. plus you would need more wiring.

and the difference between 2-3k for elec upgrades can be significant. at 2k you can get away with beefing up stock electrical and adding a bat. at 3k you need to start planning out the system carefully to see if you need an alt, more bats, bigger wires, etc.

id agree with most when they say get a larger bat. but for me, 1 smaller bat worked out just fine for me in addition to my stock bat. and i am running well over 2k with all my amps.

but if you have dough, you really can't go wrong with a D31000 or a batcap 4000. just monster power houses
