MotorCityFats13 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 all i know is dont mix agm and conventional wet cell.... as for age if one is older to the point that it had diminished capacity it will pull down the other cells in the chain all you can do is load test it and see where it stands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GS300Cali93 Posted April 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Oh and another thing I forget to put is Does it hurt your system if the battery is for larger watt systems I'm planning to upgrade in the future but my system is only pushing my 15s at 800 watts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityFats13 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 no it just sets aside power for upgrades.... hell you can run 10 XS 3100's on a 1000rms system all you would be doing is wasting money and never having any voltage drop but you would still need the alt power to charge them properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
