RAM5493 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Ive just been reading people saying that the XP series is better than D series for daily set ups. I know that they can't be used for primaries but i would like to know the reasoning for this. Do the XP series have a longer life? are they easier to charge hence are easier on the alt?

HHR Ed Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 D series has what is known as "Starting Plates" Meaning they can give high current in short time. The XP series has a large amount of lead but not starting plates, so it should not be used under the hood but can give long reserve. The D series still has a great reserve capacity and is still great for daily systems and supplemental batteries. The XP though is slightly less money and can get you a small percentage more reserve.

flwatersaver Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 And still we have no load test on the xp3000... Quote My selling FeedbackBuild log - Blazer C pillar wall, Two DC Audio 3.5k'sTEAM PSI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAM5493 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I understand the cost effective side of it but the difference between the D3100 and the XP 3000 is D3100 237 RC 110Ah XP3000 240 RC 120Ah Basically I just would like to know if the XP series would have more voltage drop? or is it more capable of sustaining voltage over long periods of playing full tilt? Im still a little bit confused sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan @ XSpower Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 If you are going to be competing then go with the D3100 for the instantaneous power advantage. If you are going to be building a bank and using it for daily use, then I would suggest the XP3000. The voltage drop really depends on the amount of current you are pulling out of the batteries. If you are pulling 100amps out of them, then they will be pretty much the same. If you are pulling 500amps out of them, then the instant 500amp draw will drop the XP down more but at the end of a 30 second run they will be within a few tenths of a volt.

Ninja_v1.0 Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 And still we have no load test on the xp3000... whats the point? Its not in a real world application anyway? He already told you it was a few tenths down from the d3100 load test. I wish people would STOP asking for it damn Quote When your at the top everyone is coming for you, friends, family, haters and even those who don't know you.. my advice..
