r_sherrer29 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 I was messaging XS power about some battery bracket info and was told information I thought was interesting. I was told the reason XP batteries are secondary is because the case is not able to take the heat like the d batts can...well this scared me because I have an XP under the hood in the second battery tray as my secondary batt... I have removed it since, the plan is to build a sheetmetal battery box and line outside with heat barrier and then reinstall. Anyone ever ran a XP in high heat area of under hood? 2011 Silverado Ext Cab Pioneer 6100NEX SkyHigh 1/0 XS Power Polk db521 coax in rear Skar 6.5 Components Sundown SAE1000-D Fosgate P600x4
Karkov Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Personally I wouldn't do it. Stick to the D series under the hood at all.

Moreno93 Posted August 19, 2015 Report Posted August 19, 2015 Most people dont have room under the hood, with the exception of trucks & some suv's so for the average consumer this isn't a issue. But nice to know & i'd swap it out aswell like stated above unless you live in cold state
r_sherrer29 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Posted August 21, 2015 Yep...just love dropping 200 on a battery to not use it and buy another 200 battery because XS doesn't care to share that info before purchasing, only when you contact them will you get the truth of why. 2011 Silverado Ext Cab Pioneer 6100NEX SkyHigh 1/0 XS Power Polk db521 coax in rear Skar 6.5 Components Sundown SAE1000-D Fosgate P600x4
ToNasty Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 If you select your vehicle in any website for xs batteries, none of the xp series comes up as a match. Only the s and d series. ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 I research everything I buy before buying it. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
audiofanaticz Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 I mean they have the batteries broke down into starting batteries and secondary batteries.. Its also not a hidden fact and very known not to use the xp batteries under the hood, simple research or asking a question will tell you this.

Its also not a hidden fact and very known not to use the xp batteries under the hood, simple research or asking a question will tell you this. Purchased well before I was on this form but yep would have loved to ask the question. And okay its broken down to primary and secondary....there are vehicles that have a secondary battery tray under the hood. If XS would just put on their website, " Do not use XP series near any high heat environment" then all would be good. The average customer shouldn't have to join a forum to find out the product they purchased will not work. Would love for someone from XS to jump on here and give real numbers to likely hood of battery going bad from being under the hood as I assume they have tested this. 2011 Silverado Ext Cab Pioneer 6100NEX SkyHigh 1/0 XS Power Polk db521 coax in rear Skar 6.5 Components Sundown SAE1000-D Fosgate P600x4
ToNasty Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Like I said. When you go to choose the battery for your vehicle an xp won't pop up. That should have been a good clue ***Super Sellers List***http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/25829-super-sellers-buyers

That should have been a good clue You mean to tell me when I went to look for a secondary battery I shouldn't of looked under their secondary battery list?
