Bigger Battery?

[Budah93 7]

I'm about to order an XS Power D925 for the second battery in my suv. I have a bigger battery upfront i got from o'reilly's. It's not a deep cell but it's about the biggest I could get with out spending a ton cuz i was on a budget. Now my question is should i buy a different battery for upfront? My goals are just to get my voltage to stay at a constant voltage. My amp draws around 1500 rms and when i upgrade will probably be in the 1700-2000 rms range. What do you guys think?

You shouldn't mix AGM and flooded batteries. Current draw is a better way to see what battery you need.

oh? I talked to a guy on the steve meade forum and he said I wouldn't have an issue doing it this way. but what are the cons of mixing them?

People mix them all the time. I am not saying its right but I have run cars for years with mixed batteries

Get the biggest one you can fit d3100 if you can fit it in the back.

I think he is putting it in his GMC Jimmy.

GMC Jimmy and i'm not spending $370 on second battery. the d925 says it's good for 2000 watt systems as a second battery which is more than what i'm running.

Ok well you can always run like a rebadged battery like a diehard platinum or dura last platinum. They are cheap and good.

I'm not exactly sure what the front battery is i can check in a bit. but i am ok to run 2 different batteries? i don't wanna fry anything

It's not the best way to do it but it works.

I have the stock battery under the hood and a Kinetic 1200 in the back, with no problem.

I will change the under hood batt soon because I have it for 4 years, it may be tired ! I need to check both batts.

You won't fry anything. My post was straight from an XS Power rep. He said something about the flooded battery balancing out the amps capable from the AGM, which isn't altogether good, but it won't "fry" anything.
