C'sgetdegrees Posted December 17, 2013 Report Posted December 17, 2013 Agreed on the HO alt. If your gonna get a second batt make sure it is the same brand as the front. 05 Escape 2 Ascendant Audiio Mayhem 15s dual 1 Populus Audio 6500 (the only one around ) 1/0 SHCA OFC XS 3400 under the Hood XS 3100s in the rear X2 Pioneer 80 Prs Pac Prv mids and highs 2 8s per door 1 tweet
TS2GFrank Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Just curious, why do you recommend the rear battery be the same brand as front battery. I have a Duralast Platinum under my hood and 4 North State group31s in the rear.

I have a Duralast Platinum under my hood and 4 North State group31s in the rear. It needs to be the same chemistry. Dont mix AGM with wet cell, they have different float charges and discharge/recharge rates which will cause parasitic draw on the more qualified battery and most likely shorten its life. And depending on the quality of AGMs, some float higher than others. Why drag down a really nice battery with a half assed one even if both are AGM?

TS2GFrank Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Ok. I've had these in for about a year and a half now and I haven't noticed a difference in charging and voltage. At least not yet anyways. Thanks for the advice
Miguels Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Agreed on the HO alt. If your gonna get a second batt make sure it is the same brand as the front. brand doesnt really matter. its the type of batteries you have to worry about.. you can have a deka under the hood and a xs power in the rear my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/
