what xs battery is best for my setup


Recommended Posts

have a zv5 12 going to be putting it on a scv 3k plan on getting mechman 370 amp. i know it might be a bit overkill but i dont want to deal with upgrading in the future if i decide to add something.  i have a 2014 Silverado was thinking about taking stock battery out and running 2 d3400 under the hood. would this be the best battery for my set up. thx for any help

They would both be starter AND reserve batteries bc there would be no distinguishing the two within the electrical system. 

OP Get a voltmeter and watch it carefully. My buddy has a 250A alt and a 3.5K and we get spike voltage drops at times. Mostly when testing test tones but still. You should probably be fine with the 370A

I understand how the electrical system works. XS website lists starter battery's and secondary battery's. They must think there's a difference. My main point was for OP to look at website for info. Doesn't take but a minute to  find what he is asking.

Right but if hes gonna have both underhood then they need to be the ‘starter’ variety due to allowable case temperature. Didnt mean to offend but theyll serve both capacity either way.

Your right. I forgot about the heat, so yes they would be both starter batter's. My bad.
