Hooking up 2 different powered batterys


Recommended Posts

Posted

i need to get a higher power battery.

so im wanting to go with the yellow top optima, i know of XS and all the other ones. but im getting a pretty good deal on the optima. so my question is. if i want to hook up another battery. can i use the battery im replacing upfront and hook it in parallel as a second battery?

so it would be. yellow top in front. and my duralast professional going to my amp.

but would the duralast drain the new battery?

typically you want to install batteries at the same time. that way the abuse on them is similar. If one has a lower resting voltage its going to essentially steal voltage from the other.

my amp does 2100 watts at 1 ohm. would i really need 2 batterys?

spl dust is an option you can get on the coils... it's great for extra 1000 watts of power

where can i get this spl dust and how much is it. is it hard to apply? lol

I have a kinetik 2400 big 3 and all 0 gauge and I was only running 1600 if that and my lights dimmed and voltage would drop down to about 12 or 11.9 sometimes

dont put the stock battery in the back. put the optima in the back. the stock battery will be a vented lead acid battery and will vent poison into the cab. but you really shouldnt mix battery types (lead acid with an AGM)

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.
