Carbon Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 I do have a small car but I have plenty of space for the battery.. setup is around 2000 watts.. I'd hate to keep checking the battery with a voltmeter I thought there would be something I can install in the dash to monitor it. Are you confusing a voltmeter with a digital multimeter?
Watch the bass Posted February 10, 2013 Report Posted February 10, 2013 budget is not an issue I always rather quality, i'm a lil confused tho, do I need to replace my current lead-acid bat? and get 2 AGMs... they're both going to be under the hood, nothing is going in the trunk just thought I should be clear on that ^ Get the biggest AGM cell you can fit under the hood wether it is one or two. and you should be good to go man! You seem to be avoiding the voltmeter so is this what your looking for? 531_2.jpg If budget is not a problem, place the biggest baddes XS-Power that you can place. Best quality on the market, they have there price, but enourmos power, high-end customor service, high resale value and so on. http://www.sonicelectronix.com/search_new.php?action=search&keyword=XS-Power+batterie%B4s "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley

Yes, a simple voltmeter mounted in your dash should run you 30 bucks or so. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Stinger-SVMB-Voltage-Gauge-Blue/21647854?ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=21647854&sourceid=1500000000000003260530&adid=22222222227000000000&wl0={matchtype}&wl1={network}&wl2={ifmobile:m}&wl3=21486607510&wl4={aceid}&wl5=pla&veh=sem
b33lz89 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 I appreciate the help... just one last question.. how long can the battery hold when it says 3500 amp watts and amp hours - 70.. am sure its not 70 hours... for example this one http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_38727_XS-Power-D2400.html I dont know how to read batteries like that

Did you had looked what bigges´t XS you can fit under the hood. If you place a D3100 you will be very fine for your need´s. "in the abundance of water, the fool is thirsty" Bob Marley
b33lz89 Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Posted February 10, 2013 i see... i have plenty of space under the hood, if I have to change mounting that's fine... just to clarify I can replace my original battery with the D3100 no need to get a second right? There are no cons other than heating?.
