Souldrop Posted September 20, 2009 Report Posted September 20, 2009 I just bought this car yesterday and the battery is bad. Any suggestions for a good under the hood?

Not too worried bout having the best just something to get me by until Jan....or if someone wants to go through the effort and explain what to look for in a battery I won't ever have to ask this question again. 1997 Lexus ES300 HU - Pioneer MVH 7350 Processor - Helix DSP Front Stage - JBL P660C Mid/high amp - Alpine PDX-F4 Subs - 1 IA Death Penalty 12 Sub Amp - Cactus Sounds PF300.1

Not too worried bout having the best just something to get me by until Jan....or if someone wants to go through the effort and explain what to look for in a battery I won't ever have to ask this question again. I currently have a Kinetik HC1800 under the hood. Size wise it fits perfectly, but the terminals are on the wrong sides. So I have the terminals towards the front instead of the back of the battery so the ground is still on the left and the pos on the right, I just had to lengthen the cables a bit. But now I got buss bars on it so length doesn't matter any more. When this one dies I'll probably put a Powermaster D2400 in it. Edit: Here is the post with pics of the battery and the buss bars on it.... http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...576&st=160# Look at posts 165 and 168 97 Maxima SE Bunch of shit going in, check out the build Build Log
Souldrop Posted September 20, 2009 Author Report Posted September 20, 2009 That's a nice and clean setup. I'll look into adding length to the stock wire and that kinetik tomorrow morn when I'm not so tired. Thanks for the input man. 1997 Lexus ES300 HU - Pioneer MVH 7350 Processor - Helix DSP Front Stage - JBL P660C Mid/high amp - Alpine PDX-F4 Subs - 1 IA Death Penalty 12 Sub Amp - Cactus Sounds PF300.1

Thanks for the input man. No problem. I used stinger couplers from Darvex to lengthen the cables. I couldn't get the stock cables to accept any solder, too old and dirty. I've got some solder paste now that I want to try but haven't had the time. 97 Maxima SE Bunch of shit going in, check out the build Build Log
