zayres29 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 its better to use the AH rating as it is how long the battery will last and 32* at max amps Btw that was the first person. Ever banned by me while dropping a deuce. Feel privileged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdorre Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Watts=amps*volts I look at AH over watts, just for a rough estimate.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Actually neither for car audio. Reserve capacity is the magic number to look at. Ah is calculated at a 5 amp draw over hours until fully dead ~10.5 volts and they take that hour amount multiply by current draw and get Ah. So unless you want to power some fog lights for hours don't look at Ah.

AMI CUSTOMS Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 An optima yellow top group 34 battery is 120 and a XS power D3100 is 240, obviously we know which is the better battery of the two, but those are the numbers to look at for car audio application.
