SKID18 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Ok, I'm currently running 600rms wattage plus other car accessories on my main battery. Think I need a secondary battery in the back? If so, which would work best and will I need a battery isolator to work with it? 1 Kicker VSL512 Power Acoustik 800rms mono class D Pioneer Premier DEH3900MP Complete Kicker Amp Kit (4G) Pioneer TS-G1341R 5-1/4" 2-way Door Speakers[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptcary Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Ok, I'm currently running 600rms wattage plus other car accessories on my main battery. Think I need a secondary battery in the back? If so, which would work best and will I need a battery isolator to work with it? I recently had similar question, and the answer is no, 600watts rms would not require a second battery, (though your signature says 800 rms), unless the "other accessories" you mention are really extensive electrical wise. A good quality battery up front won't hurt. I run 2 amps 995 watts rms total power and plan to get a Kinetik battery up front and no second battery.

darvex Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 More than likely a good solid main battery will be plenty. If you do decide that a secondary battery is needed take a look at this link. High Current Relays and Kit There's a couple simple options for adding a 2nd battery. I do recommend a sealed battery no matter the brand. I'll also be happy to send you a diagram and some instructions if you need any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulO2288 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 You dont need an isolator unless you want to play music with car off for a long time and just drain your back batts and not drain your front one to start the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKID18 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Well the thing is, my car would temporarily not start (for about 3 minutes), I went to Sears to get another battery because the first one was kinda old. I still have that lingering problem with my car not temp. starting so that's why I came with the assumption of adding a second battery. 1 Kicker VSL512 Power Acoustik 800rms mono class D Pioneer Premier DEH3900MP Complete Kicker Amp Kit (4G) Pioneer TS-G1341R 5-1/4" 2-way Door Speakers[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darvex Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 You might want to swing by a parts store to have the alternator checked before you do anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
