Casparado Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 Can anyone please recommend a good group 59 AGM battery? XS doesn't make one, and I am not finding much online besides big box brands like Optima Yellow/Red top that seem kinda anemic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baydestrian Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 When looking for a replacement starter battery for my Mazda I wanted an AGM and looked at Odyssey and Northstar. Went with NS as it was more readily available from a shop in San Francisco. 2015 Mazda 6 JVF Customz 4.0 Proto 15>Wolfram W4500 @ .5ohm 2 Sundown Neo 6.5 + 2 CT Meso Tweeters (Front) x Kicker KS6.5 (Rear)>JL Audio VX400/4i NSB-AMG35 (front) / 40ah Lithium Headway (Rear) built by Erni Audio & Electrical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey man I'm working on a spreadsheet to make it much easier to find out what batteries are compatible besides the factory group 59 for instance. I noticed that the XS Power D4700 could fit in the dimensions of a Group 59. Just compare the dimensions yourself and see if it works for your case. https://4xspower.com/shop/12v-agm/d-series/d4700/ Dimensions for a D4700 Length – 9.49 in Height – 7.48 in Width – 6.93 in SMD Tool Map (2022): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/220267-smd-tool-map-2022/ My Port Size Calculator (in progress): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217087-port-size-calculator-in-progress/ Common Port Walls for a Slot Port: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217076-common-port-walls-why-it-matters-to-your-box/?tab=comments#comment-3240313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn what are the dimensions of your current battery? I might be able to find a reverse pole of similar size SMD Tool Map (2022): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/220267-smd-tool-map-2022/ My Port Size Calculator (in progress): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217087-port-size-calculator-in-progress/ Common Port Walls for a Slot Port: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217076-common-port-walls-why-it-matters-to-your-box/?tab=comments#comment-3240313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casparado Posted September 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 It's about 9 1/4"L, 7 1/2"W, and about 7" tall.... roughly. It's on the driver side of the car and the positive is towards the aft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshdashef Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Here is a list of compatible ones you can take a look at, some of them are beyond or below your dimensions so just double check anything before buying. XS Power: https://4xspower.com/shop/12v-agm/d-series/d5100/ https://4xspower.com/shop/12v-agm/d-series/d5100r/ (taller by about an inch but has a reverse option and standard) Some other options https://4xspower.com/shop/12v-agm/d-series/d1200/ https://4xspower.com/shop/12v-agm/s-series/s1200/ https://4xspower.com/shop/12v-agm/s-series/s975/ Northstar https://www.northstarbattery.com/product/nsb-agm35 https://www.northstarbattery.com/product/elt-agm35 (both of these are 9 1/2 in length so you might be able to fit them with some adjustments, also about an 1 1/2 taller at 8.5") Optima https://www.optimabatteries.com/en-us/yellowtop-deep-cycle-battery/d7525 https://www.optimabatteries.com/en-us/yellowtop-deep-cycle-battery/d35 (both are 3/4" taller at 7 3/4") SMD Tool Map (2022): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/220267-smd-tool-map-2022/ My Port Size Calculator (in progress): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217087-port-size-calculator-in-progress/ Common Port Walls for a Slot Port: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217076-common-port-walls-why-it-matters-to-your-box/?tab=comments#comment-3240313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casparado Posted September 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Yeah the yellow tops were the only ones I found that are a direct fit. XS wants to sell a billet aluminum mounting plate/hold down with the D3400, which is their suggestion. I'm about ready to just get something inexpensive up frontand wire it parallel to a 2nd batt behind my seat. I was hoping to avoid a 2nd battery but it's starting to look like that might actually be cheaper than trying to make something fit under the hood.

Might be a better solution if you are wanting to stick to a single battery instead of two SMD Tool Map (2022): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/220267-smd-tool-map-2022/ My Port Size Calculator (in progress): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217087-port-size-calculator-in-progress/ Common Port Walls for a Slot Port: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217076-common-port-walls-why-it-matters-to-your-box/?tab=comments#comment-3240313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
