amp per hour

[shadowm891 2]

Hi guys have a question im looking at buying a car audio battery for my system and i was told i need one that does 100 amps per hour. And i was wondering if anyone could list me some good brands out there for under 200 that puts out 100 amps per hour and tell me what is amps per hour.

From http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_1/chpt_11/3.html

A battery with a capacity of 1 amp-hour should be able to continuously supply a current of 1 amp to a load for exactly 1 hour, or 2 amps for 1/2 hour, or 1/3 amp for 3 hours, etc., before becoming completely discharged. In an ideal battery, this relationship between continuous current and discharge time is stable and absolute, but real batteries don't behave exactly as this simple linear formula would indicate. Therefore, when amp-hour capacity is given for a battery, it is specified at either a given current, given time, or assumed to be rated for a time period of 8 hours (if no limiting factor is given).

It's going to be tough to find a 100 ah battery under $200 unless you buy used or find a good sale.

You can get two 50's from RAM http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/53306-datasafe-batts-crazy-cheap/

I would not look at AH Cranking amps is a better spec to look at because that is a 500a pull for 30 seconds. Which is what happens a lot In car audio. Ah is more for trolling boats, etc. I would look In to a deka intimIdator which run about 200$ new shipped or if you want to pick up a battery locally you can pick up NGT extremes which are the same battery just a different case and name

Are you talking about the batts RAM is selling? I don't know much about battery's, would you mind explaining what specs to look at or direct me to a good source to read about it? I'm pretty new to the big power setups and plan on upgrading my electrical soon.

Thanks, Rick

I've always looked at it this way, AH is X amount of amps over X hours which isn't really relevant for us in car audio unless you sit there and listen to music for hours. CCA is the numbers of amperes a lead-acid battery at 32 degrees F (0 degrees C) can deliver for 30 seconds and maintain at least 1.2 volts per cell (7.2 volts for a 12 volt battery). Which in car audio you see the most.. long bass drop in tern the amp draws large amounts of current.

Personally I believe CCA is much more relevant to us car audio enthusiasts rather than AH which is more for trolling, etc.

NGT Extreme batteries are sold locally at CARQUEST auto stores which some places have them and they run about 250 from the store, they are the same batteries as the Deka Intimidator Group 31 batteries which you can get shipped from Remy for around $200.

Cool thanks I actually have a carquest less than one mile from my house. What is the best way to contact Remy?

My local CARQUEST didn't have the NGT's stocked some do although.
