Reikken energie pr1000 or kinetic hc600s?


Recommended Posts

So I'm ready to upgrade on the battery front! Right now I have two h6 wet cells under hood. They are getting weak and I'm going to go with agm power finally. In my head a few smaller agm batteries in parallel will stand up better than a single big agm. Please someone correct me if I'm wrong here tho. 

I been eye balling either the kinetic hc600s or the energie pr1000, both have 18ah and are same physical size. The pr1000 is supposed to be good for 1000watts and the hc600 for 600 watts, which is odd since they are the same size. Anyways, I have room for a total of 8 under my hood, being 4 on each side and I'd only be able to buy 4 at a time so I'd use an isolator to keep wet cells from sucking down the agms when truck is off till I get all 8 agms in.

Anyone have any input on this? Am I going about this right? These batteries would be both for cranking and audio too. I have dual runs of 3/0 welding cable and still running a single 300a alternator, still been to busy to drop the second alt in since I have to build a custom bracket, I don't think $300 for a bracket, pulley, and belt is worth it when I can do it myself for about $50.

2009 Silverado 1500, 7.5" lift, 37x12.50r17s, Built Gen 4 5.3L ( 4.8l flat pistons, decked 243s, SS2 Cam, Pac 1218 springs, ported intake, 120mm TB, Long tubes, 3" duals HP tuner software tuned by me), 4l80e swapped and 4.56 gears. All done by me. stereo is Pioneer avh 600ex, all stinger rca, jp23 v1.5, skar rp150.4, and hertz hpd4. 2 SHCA 6.5 8ohm, 1 SHCA 3.5", and 1 DS18 tw120pro in each door. The 3.5 mid and 3.5" tweeters are powered by the skar rp150.4, the 6.5s are powered by the hertz bridged @4 ohms. Dual runs   of 3/0 welding cable, 300a alternator, 2 Vmax AGMs up front. current sub is a AB XR 12 ( dual 2 ohm) with bottom spider cut out in 2.25 cubes at 32hz

Ever thought about using lithium?

Rite now outta my budget and I have ALOT of RC stuff (drones and sc trucks and such) and lipo isn't a nice thing when it decides to let the magic smoke out. I live in the woods and every road is rough asf, and with a lifted truck and 12pl 35s it makes the ride even worse, I cant see any good coming out of lipo. I'm sure it's plenty safe just out of my comfort and price range rite now. I got about $250 for budget at the moment and that'll get me 4 if the batteries I listed above.

Ended up with 8 reikken rp1000 s, spent $425 for batteries and $35 on bus bar material. I'm about $40-50 over a single northstar h6 agm so not too bad. If these little guys don't work out like I want they will end up as a removable battery bank in the toolbox of my truck.
