So I emailed xs and asked about what I needed as far as batteries go. Here is the actual email. I just wanted to know if this is all I really need? I want my voltage to stay up and dont want it dropping. What would you recommend for my current installation? As it stands right now I have a 260 amp alternator. I drive a lincoln aviator which is the same as a ford explorer. The stock alternator was a 130 amp. I do not know how much current draw it pulled but I am sure it is more than the average car. I listen to my music loud 90% of the time. As for my current installation goes I have 4 of the sundown saz1500s going in which have fuse ratings of 150 amps and then I…

Hey guys I just saw the price sheet for 2011 and there is going to be a price increase due to lead prices being on the rise for the past year or so. Now would be a great time to get your batteries before the increase. Check out the SSA store now to take advantage of the 2010 prices.

Ok, from what i understand, in most applications you wire your batteries in parallel rather than series because series will turn 2 12 volt batteries into a 24 volt battery correct? Why parallel though? in theory wouldn't that turn 2 12 volt batteries into a 6 volt battery then? From what i have found, parallel doesnt change voltage but does change the capacity. This is what makes no sense to me because under every law of electronics i've learned, you would be halving the voltage. thanks for any info. this isn't an important question that is dire to a job, its just something i've been curious about and no one can give me a straight answer as to why i'm "wrong" for think…

I'm going to have a 180A HO alternator from Iraggi, and I'll be using a Hifonics XX Colossus II and a Soundstream REF4.920 that will be giving out about 3600W rms together. I was thinking about replacing my starting battery and adding some secondary batteries in the back. I read your "I Have a XXXXXXX watt sytem. What battery do I need?" thread and if I understood it correctly a D1200 in the front and a D3400 would be sufficient for my system. But would this be optimal, should I maybe have 2 or even 3 D3400 in the back plus the D1200 in the front? It is a daily system, but I will go on a couple DB contests per year.

I'm seeing similar wattage recommendations for a few batteries, I wanted to know which one is the best for me as a second battery. Have a red top under the hood and plan to throw a relay between the two batteries. Right now I have 1500W, but plan to upgrade to ~2500 in the future. Thanks!

It will be roughly 6 weeks till I graduate and if I can't find a job, I will be keeping my car for a bit. I would like to replace the huge G31 battery with a better charging system to cut down on the weight. Can Powermaster make one to fit my needs? I really don't know how much longer the stock one is going to last. Thanks!
