Best battery for under the hood?


Recommended Posts

I wanna keep things under $200 because I'm about to spend quite a bit on a Singer alt. Right now all I have is some triple A crap lead acid battery and its in dire need of being replaced.

Okay so the stock battery is roughly 7" x 7" x 11" I'll go up a little but I don't have the money for much more. Trying to stay away from xs because I feel like a lot of my money is paying for the name. Are there better batts for the money?

You could buy battery insulation. I haven't had any problems not having it, but that doesn't mean its not going to happen to the next person.

I can assure you that you're not just paying for the name with XS Power batteries. There's a reason why almost all of us are running XS batteries,including myself. Get the biggest you can fit under the hood but don't rule out XS,they're the best on the market IMO. There's are plenty other batts you could use like Crescendo,Kinectic,Optima,etc. just look around.. I used a optima yellow top for about 5 years on a true 1500 watt setup with no problems,220 amp STINGER was my alternator.. If you're paying that much for a Singer alt then don't cheap out on the batts,just save up a lil bit til you can afford one. Hit up Mechman or XS Power for the XS power batts,I got a great deal on a D3400 from Mechman on here.
