Educate me on batteries.

[JEFFYBOI]

So i currently have a Duralast under the hood and a kinetik in the trunk. Im not very knowledgeable on batteries. I know the kinetik is a dry cell and the duralast is a wet cell. How does it effect my batteries having them connected being different types of batteries? Is there a advantage to doing all agm type batteries? Im thinking of getting a big agm up front and a second smaller one in the trunk. So give me what info you got... TROLLS PLEASE READ SIGN BEFORE REPLYING>>> , Thanks.

The wet batt sits at a lower voltage, so it's always dragging down the AGM batt.

Say the wet batt sits at 12.4 and the AGM rests at 12.7 or 12.8. The batt with the

lower volts is always dragging down the higher one.

Ok cool. In that case I would want all AGM batteries. I want to keep them all @ highest voltage obviously.

If you want the best buy XS power, they are the top dog IMO.

I see you have a Kinetik, what volts does it sit at? If you mix

wet and AGM batts for a long time the AGM resting volts will

come down. If that's the case sometimes they can be bought

back to higher resting volts by discharging them and recharging

them.

I try to run all the same name, similar volt batts,and age batts.

If your Kinetik is good I'd grab anther on.

I used to work for a GM accessories part store... Anyways they

had batt trucks that went around to shops and sold batts and they'd

bring back all the shit batts. Test em and refurb them. But the

Yellow tops couldn't be sent to the recyle plant for some reason

so we'd get good yellow tops for super cheap. Almost every

yellow top they brought back just needed a charger that could

sense lower voltage. I stll have a yellow top form there, it was

made in 04, I used it from 07 to 13 and it's still ok. It rests at 12.5

not a good resting volt for AGM batt, but hell the batts been though hell.

The kinetik rests about 12.8 i would have to check the duralast. Does discharging the battery effect the life of the battery?

[poorfish88]

The Kinetik is still good just get anther one, Screw the SLA batt.

Cycling them can bring them back to higher voltage, if there are

resting low. Yours is still fine, I wouldn't do anything to it.

Ok I decided im getting another kinetik hc600 for the trunk so I have 2 and then once I get the money im gonna drop the biggest agm I can fit under the hood and call it good for this year

u could get an isolater

No isolator it is not a mobile home RV camper!
