3 Small Batts or 1 Big Batt?


Recommended Posts

Amps: DC 2.0k, MB Quart dsc480

Wiring: (1) Knu cca 1/0 front battery to trunk, Stock 85amp alt

I play full tilt a lot and want to keep voltage as stable as possible, take short trips so I wouldn't be full tilt for more than 45 consecutive minutes.

Which would help me better?

This isnt a vs thread. I simply want to know if 3 small batteries would help keep voltage from dropping better than 1 big battery. The batteries I listed were for example. They have similar cost, not looking for an answer on the brand.

Its a vs thread because your changing companies. Switch to same company or say brand x.

There are 2 main things you need to look at, IMO. Ignoring cost:

1. Your capacity in amp hours.

2. The internal resistance of the battery.

Lower resistance = you won't dip as far into battery voltage.

Higher amp hours basically means you can play into battery voltage for longer without discharging your battery.

If you can find these things out (may take some emailing to the manufacturer) you should be able to make a fairly educated decision.

So logically (1) xp3000 will alow me to play longer than (3) xp750s?

XS xp3000 looks to be my best route, best AH compared to the XS D batteries.

With the stock alt, should I add another run of 1/0 or replace with Skyhigh 2/0?

(3)22ah = 66ah

vs a single 120ah battery. So on paper, yes.
