Jhensley209 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I am running a soundqubed HDC315" off and audiopipe 1800 right now off stock alt and I have an xs d1200 as my main battery. Would adding a 2nd battery help with anything or would I just be waisting my money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RooTxBeeR Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Have you done the big 3? What is the charging amperage of your alt, and what is the ampere an hour rating of your current batteries?

Jhensley209 Posted May 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 I'm trying to get my electrical to keep up without having to upgrade the alt because I'm not planning on keeping this car very long. What size secondary battery Would be good or would it even help or be a waist of money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrAcd Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 You can easily get some rebadged batteries for half the price of a XS. Places like Sears, Sams Club, and Advance Auto or O Riley's sell rebadged batteries from quality distributors. That or check your local battery shop for deals on blemished or B stock batteries. Im Going to be purchasing some Rural King batteries (Rebadged Exides) for my battery bank and those are dirt cheap but the first thing you need to know is how is your voltage while playing music (measured are the amp) and how big is your alternator that you have now.
