New source for batteries.. Save some money

[shizzzon 461]

You guys are gonna hate me for the next couple hrs but i want to go ahead and make this thread while i get all the info ready and post it at once...

Unlike other competitors, i like to share what products are out there and where to get them for what price so we can all have some fun

I've been talkin on another forum about this one particular battery brand and is sparking some big interest in the car audio world so after talking with the company over the phone about specific questions.. i think it's time to share some information!

So.. give me a couple hrs or less, hopefully a LOT less time and i'll have this thread the new hot topic for a while...

Guess i can give little updates here and there while i gather the info together-

These are 12v batteries.

12v AGM batteries to be exact so i'm not wasting your time with other technologies.

They rest @12.9v on average so that's normal.

They use Metric style Bolt terminals like all other Car Audio batteries.

They can be mounted in ANY position like *most* car audio batteries and not drop performance.

If left unattended and disconnected, shelf life @68F is rated at a 3% drop in capacity every 30days.

^ This means it can be left unattended for 12 months without a damaging drop in charge capacity.

These batteries have excellent recovery capability even after very deep discharges

^ This means if your battery is dropping in the low 11s, and the load is stopped, the battery can recover back fast to the mid to high 12v range.

Operating range for batteries-

5F- 122F (i am awaiting an answer on exceeding the limitation of this range)

OH.. and a little side note.

This brand is a DIRECT replacement for the following known brands-

Xstatic, Kinetik, Stinger, Odyssey, Deka, Hawker, Enersys, etc... FOR A LOT LESS.

Please note-

I have been studying the graphs on their batteries and some battery suggested direct replacements i feel would not be an identical equal to what they are saying...

Do not worry though, moving to the next size battery will sure be a direct replacement and still be saving a LOT of money.

More info to come...

you got me interrested

[shizzzon 461]

Termperature rating was based on AGM standard...

So, i can safely say that my car has been in high 150s without agm problems and i've dropped to 0 before.

PLEASE NOTE- this is with ANY battery.

If you leave a battery in a dead, empty state, freezing temperatures will kill a battery, this is with any battery.

Charging rate- their charging rates are for chargers.. their charge rate spec is also based on AGM standard so no worries.

Alternator use will have no immediate effect on the life of your battery.
