i was wondering what was a good battery to have in the xb if i have a system, i know the battery is a group 25, but what are other options i can go with it, that has more power and can still go with the car???

 

optima yellow top by far the best buy for you money. Just to let you know you might wanna try using the search function before posting questions

 

KINETIK will kick Optimas butt all day. I have a Kinetik HC1400 under the hood and two HC800's in the back of my tC. Even when I just added the 1800 I noticed a big difference. Check out www.kinetikpower.com, they have some awesome products.

IMO Optima has just acrued the name when it comes to batteries like Dynamat has with damping even though HUSHMAT is better of the way Kleenex has the name when it comes to tissues. How many times have you heard "can i have a kleenex?" Go with Kinetik and you won't be sorry.

 

i got the yellow top and love it made a huge difference and it looks cool to !

 

i got a yellow top and a xstatic 800 in the back. i bought both for the same price ($150) and out of the two the xstatic is better and its half the size. but if you have the money kinetik is the way to go

 

I will cast my vote as well for KINETIK

 

Yellow Top hands down.

 

i need a new battery also, but dont know which to go with.

 

if you go onto the Kinetiks webstite and compare the specs for their batteries against Optima......its like winning a race against crippled kid.

Actually look at the stats and you will see who is better

 

can you post the link

MtcX, i need your help on choosing a Kinetik battery, HC800 or HC 1400? I will be running with 1 battery

 

To the OP, why are you looking to upgrade the battery, is it dying on you?

I'm running a Mac mini, 7" touchscreen, JL 300/4 amp and a 500/1 on the stock battery. The Mac even stays on in the car with the key out, just in sleep mode, for up to three days before the computer power supply turns it off. I have not had a dead battery yet, other than when I left the headlights on all day once, and this is on the stock battery. The headlights will dim slightly on heavy bass notes though. For cosmetics, I wrapped the top of the battery in black vinyl to cover the labels and what not for a clean surface under the battery tie-down.

For extended shows, I am looking at buying a Stinger or Cascade Audio Engineering AC / DC 80 Amp supply so I can run the car off of wall power or generator.

I do throw a charger on every two weeks or so at 2A to charge overnight as a precaution. Please note that if you do upgrade your battery capacity, it will still die eventually if it is being drained faster than the stock alternator can charge it and will then still require external charging.

 

i am going to put my stock battery in my friend 's toyota minivan.
since i need shopping for a battery, i was thinking going Kinetik,

HC800 or HC 1400?

 

Well, that's always a good reason. If you need a new one anyway, may as well get a good one.
