What Kind Of Battery To Get


Recommended Posts

Ok...I have an optime red top under the hood right now and I am going to need a battery for the back.

So what I am wondewring is what kind of battery to get. should I go with another optima in the back or should I get a kinetic?

Theres only one condition tho...I only wanna spend around $200

So here are the combinations I have come up with...buy 1 optima(red or yellow top) so that I have 2 optimas, or buy 1 kinetic HC1800 and have an optima up front and a kinetic in back, or I could get 2 Kinetic HC800's and put one up front and one in back

Which would be the best to get out of these?

depending how much amperage you will be pulling, any battery in the back will be good man

I read SOME of the wall build thread you have on here, but didnt see anything about amps

Even if you throw a $69 deep cycle battery in the back, as long as its mounted so it doesnt fly around, and it hooked up right, with preferably 1 run neg, and 1 run pos, you should be fine

But what amp/amps DO you have?

I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.

Alright, so ive spent alot of money and now im tryin to save as much as I can on the rest of the stuff I need....so I figured i'd either get 1 kinetic HC800 for the back or 1 HC600.

Would either one be good enough?...im kinda leanin towards the HC600 cuz it cost less and it weights less(so maybe I can save a few bucks on gas :lol: )
