JacobB89 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Posted November 6, 2010 Here is what I am working with to start off with. 1996 gmc sierra 1500 5.0 stock battery alt is replacement its a 130 amp or so system I have 2 12in kicker L7 AQ2200D What I want to do is I have enough room up front for 2 batteries stock and another across from it.(dont have much room for a battery in the back) My plan was to get a xs 3400 for the secondary battery. But I am now not sure if i can even run a AGM battery with my stock acid battery.(also Will be doing the big 3 soon as well) So is that possible if not what should i do i really don't want to fork out the money for a alt right now keep that in mind so any options would be appreciated thanks.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted November 7, 2010 Report Posted November 7, 2010 replace that stock battery first with the xs 3400 and then get another 3400 later,and then 230 amp alt or so and done. That would be ZERO voltage drop.

skittlesRgood Posted November 7, 2010 Report Posted November 7, 2010 it is possible to mix battery types but its not a good thing to do. an upgraded alt will be the more reliable option and it shouldn't cost more than two XSpower batteries.

JacobB89 Posted November 7, 2010 Author Report Posted November 7, 2010 (edited) my plan was not to get 2 3400 batteries if i were gonna do that then i might as well get a alt and a 14v battery but like i said i do not have money to fork that out.

skittlesRgood Posted November 7, 2010 Report Posted November 7, 2010 well if one battery is all you can afford then do it. you'll be "half-assing" it but its better than nothing.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted November 7, 2010 Report Posted November 7, 2010 That aq amp will eventually kill that stock battery, no way around it.
