WastedTalent Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Basically. But I've always heard (never been confirmed, just speculation, to me at least) to put the bigger one in front. If your car only requires a small one, don't put the biggest one XS makes in the trunk. Switch em. Never really been told that's wrong, but never been told that is what to do.

Nathan @ XSpower Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Having a big battery in the back is no problem at all, but are you sure you need a battery in the back? On 1200watts a yellow top shouldn't be dropping that much. What is your voltage dropping to and is that with the vehicle running or turned off?

WastedTalent Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Just a small threadjack, it doesn't matter how you have the batts? Say you have a small one under the hood, you can have a gigantic one in the back without harming anything or whatnot?

Nathan @ XSpower Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 You are correct. There are a lot of cars that only have room for small batteries upfront. They are all wired up together, so it doesn't matter what size is where. I personally would want my biggest source of power as close to the amps as possible.

WastedTalent Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Alright. End of that speculation and threadjack. Thanks for educating me haha. Quote Sheena = pedobear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockFord_Expedition Posted September 14, 2012 Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 I would throw the yellow top away and put an xs power bat up front. I'm no expert, but just knowing that the more guts the battery has the better it can perform, optimas have a lot of hollow space with that 6 pack looking design. Just my opinion. And I also "heard" you shouldn't mix battery types. Quote Old School/New School RF Build March 2015 SOTM Winner How to crimp large wire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your the expert, but isn't voltage drop closer related to the alternator than the battery? Just a question.
