newls1 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Looking for 2 batts for the ass end of my tahoe, and came across these (Kinetik HC800 High Current) I can get them for 118each, is this a good price, and will these help if I keep my stock alt which is 140amp. I just dont have the funds for a new alt now, and was basically hoping that these 2 batts would help? I'll be powering a AQ2200D amp, and my 2 18" Fi BL's. I have a yellow top under the hood, and I'll run 2 leads of 0/1gauge friom the alt, to the new batts if it helps at all. Thanks Quote I love my staffie So anti FACEBOOK it isn't even funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I would go with a single hc2400 but more is always a plus......... those two 800s aren't going to be enough.

jmsonoma03 Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 they are good batteries for a good price. a lil above cost but i think they would be to small for what you need. i would probally get a 2400.go to kinetiks website and use their batt calculator.look on ebay under batteries and look for a pro power battery its a new company selling good cheap batteries. i bought two 2800 agm models for my truck only $120. each so far they work perfect all of my electrical problems went away and my systems sounds allot better .the owner is hella cool i talked to him a few times. call him and talk to him he has every size battery that kinetik has and more even has a 5000 model for $300 his name is chad his number 1-239-691 7515. for the money they are a great deal.

newls1 Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Well, I ordered 2 of these. Got them for 109 each, I thought that was a great price, and I dont have to pay for them for 90 days interest free. These 2 batts should only help me I would think? So I dont think I went wrong with this purchase. Now here is my last question; Is it harder on the ALT the maintain the charge for 3 batts, or might it be easier on the ALT now with 3 batts, as it wont have to maintain the 1 batt that gets beatin on consistently. Also, my loaded Voltage while slamming my current stereo is 14.1v, will this voltage drop some as the alt will have 3 batts to maintain, or stay the same? I idle without stereo slammin @ 14.4-14.6 if it matters. Thanks everyone, I can't wait to have my new stereo up and running.
