Omega5002 Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 It's usually that as long as the batteries are the same chemistry type(AGM) and voltage type, you should be fine.

SnowDrifter Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 You are good to go. Just be sure the batteries rest at a similar voltage. Like... Don't use an old decrepit d3400 that can barely start the car with a brand new d3100 or something. Just make sure both batts are in good condition Quote ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
special_formula Posted April 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 thx everyone.. ya the d3400 is brand new .. im must wanting a sturdy system built right.. ya think 2x d3400 is enough for this setup ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeamHT Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Brands don't matter, battery type will be a more important factor to look at. Size of the battery matters little when wired correctly. If I have time I can post why later tonight and how current is drawn with multiple batteries Quote Tell me...does this smell like chloroform to you?

WastedTalent Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yes that's fine. Just don't mix brands What's wrong with mixing brands? (outta curiosity from your perspective) x2. Lol. I've never heard anything wrong with mixing brands AS LONG AS it's same type (AGM) and same voltage (Don't mix a 12V with a 14V). Think I've seen a few kinetiks and xs batts mixed together before... few xs and dekas...ect. Quote Sheena = pedobear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watch the bass Posted April 19, 2013 Report Share Posted April 19, 2013 Yes that's fine. Just don't mix brands What's wrong with mixing brands? (outta curiosity from your perspective) Don´t mix AGM with wet cell´s, Mixing AGM´s with AGM´s is not this worth.
