Powermaster Vs. Kinetik

[AI James]

anyone have any asnwers as to what spec i should be looking at between the 2 for just a daily driver secondary battery in the back?

If not i guess i'll just go with ol reliable kinetik

aH, the higher the better

reserve, the higher the better

cca, the higher the better if u live wheres there's winter

then look at amps at 80degrees

aH

longevity..... most agms last 3-4 yrs

supposedly pm will longer when i asked them when i was trying to decide inbetween the two, and then i want odyssey lol

and ive seen kinetiks swell and i think the pms have a steel case to help prevent that if it ever happens

i think enersys makes odyssey and powermaster batteries.... and enersys has been around for a long time...

they make optimas too

I wasn't sure I could get a comparable PM battery to the 1400 for ~$150, so I bought both my Kinetiks from here:

well now its harder cause they're the same price

[AI James]

um no, the shipping on that pm is much less then the kinetik

if i rear correctly its only like 13 bucks shipping

[Decaf]

whatever the difference in price is in shipping ur paying for:

16 more aH

~150 max crank amps

and a tiny bit mroe reserve

so if you want to pay more for kinetik thats what you'll get for the extra $
