rockFord_Expedition Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I am looking for a battery, or maybe two for my truck. At minimum ill be getting a D6500 for under the hood, possibly a 2nd bat for the back. I jump on my phone, open up the XSPower app to find a local dealer. Turns out there is 1. I call them up to price the battery. My first question is "do you stock XS power batteries" the sales guy is like "access batteries?" And I said "no, XS power, as in the letter x then the letter s." he said "oh yeah, well we are a dealer for them, I could order you one. Do you know which one you need?" I told him which one i needed, he places me on hold for a min then he comes back and said "Bro those batteries aren't as reliable as (competitor brand) and I carry (competitor brand) in stock, do you want one of those instead?" I told him no and asked him his price on the D6500. He told me what it was, then said that they have a high rate of defect, and I would be better of with the competitors brand. I have never owned an XS battery, but would like to since based on my reading they seem to be the best. Do you think the sales guy was just getting spiffs for selling the other brand? You would think a dealer would be more educated than to put down XS, or am I just totally wrong and they do have a high rate of defects? Kind of discouraged my purchase to be honest.

SnowDrifter Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 I got a d1400. Great battery. Although if he's lieing about XS he probably shouldn't be a dealer for them.
