    I am planning on using a D3400 under the hood as my stock replacement starting battery and a D3400 in my trunk as an auxiliary battery for my amplifiers. I want to use an isolator/relay between the two batteries, atleast 300 amp. I am considering a Stinger SGP35 500amp isolator/relay. Is this a good isolator/relay to use with XS Power batteries or is there something better? Thanks

    Hi, I'm planning to do the big3 upgrade this week end, but I would like to have a secondary battery in my trunk. I don't know the size of my stock alternator, but I don't want to change it. I have 2 amplifiers with around 1200 watts rms. Someone here, told me that it would not be really good to buy a Honda civic size battery for either secondary or primary battery. What should I chose? It is not to play with the engine off for long time, just to have a little more power. What do you think? a secondary one (whicv one), or just a big primary one (which one) ? Thanks for your help. BTW : I have a XS batt dealer in my country, and he is really into caraudio!

    Hey all. Putting 3 d3100's in my setup and am thinking about putting them in a toolbox or sealed battery boxes under a tonneau cover in the back of my truck. How much impact will cold Colorado winters and hot summers (around 100 degrees) have on the performance of these batteries? My plans are to run a few runs of 1/0 up to some buss bars inside the cabin and then go from there to my amps. thoughts?

    Just got my brand new D4800. I would like to know, should I charge the battery before installing it in the car? Assuming I do need to fully charge it, I dont happen to have a car charger. I read in the documentation included that it needs to be a charged with with a charger that does no more than 2.4v per cell. If I was to take it to Pepboyz or Advanced Auto Parts, how can I make sure they charge it properly?

    What is the thread size for a D3100? Why does it say on the battery not to exceed 14.4 volt for charging? (I see people charging around 15 volts all the time on here) What will happen if my charger "exceeds" 14.4 volts?

    Are there any differences between the D3400 and the S3400 besides the steel case? The 3400 series fits into my stock battery tray and will be powering a 1400 watt rms system that could get upgraded to a 2400 watt rms system.

    As of right now I have a Mechman 270 and two optima red tops under the hood in stock locations. Big 3 done also. I am dropping into 11's on full tilt at idle and mid 12's while driving. I was originally going to replace both red tops up front with the two d3400's which I think would be fine for my power (3600watts roughly) but was wondering should I leave the Redtops up front and put the d3400's in the rear and run wire directly from my alt to those that way they don't pull from the red tops and they are dedicated to the system? Is this a option or should I just stay with my original plan running both up front. Thanks

    I have an option to use a step up converter to run at 18.5v. I can't set it any higher or i risk damaging my amps as they are only rated up to 18.5v. Is 18.5v high enough to charge a D1000? If it's not, what is the recommended voltage and how good would 18,.5v be before i would have to top it off myself with a charger? once a week maybe?
