XS Power

I have been ask a few very common questions, so I figured I would just post some of them up. If you have any questions post them up. I will answer them or find the answer for you. CCA is the maximum amperes that can be continuously removed from a battery for 30 seconds at 0°F before its voltage drops to unusable levels. A 550 CCA battery can supply 550 amperes for 30 seconds at 0°F. This was important back in the days when vehicles took a long time to start. Now if you put a charge to your starter for 30 seconds it would probably burn up, and it doesn't make any difference in car audio. CCA is the same test as above but at 32°F. AMP-HOUR RATING is a unit of measurement fo…

Well if you are choosing a secondary battery, then your options are only limited by space you have available and $$$$$. lol Here is a guide for our batteries and the wattage they produce as both starting batteries and secondary batteries. One thing to keep in mind is that when you combined multiple batteries together they produce more individual power, because that optimizes the internal pressure.

Check out the prices in the store!!!!

All of the S version of the batteries come with brass automotive terminals. All of the S versions also come with metal protective cases (EXCEPT FOR THE S3400) for added under the hood protection. The S3400 DOES NOT come with a metal protective case. The D version batteries do not come with auto terminals, but they do come with the bolts and washer to use with ring terminals. Automotive terminals can be purchased separately (part number # 580 or 586) for these versions. So, if you are going to use the battery under the hood I would suggest buying the S version, but if you are going to use it as a secondary battery the D version would be more economical.

So i've seen several differing opinions on this was jw what the correct thing to do is now days when dealing with 12v xs power batteries such as the d5100R

im planning to upgrade my main car battery but im cluless about the XS power batteries... i want to replace my main car battery, but the battery has to fit in a very tight place. i have a v8 soo its kinda hard to fit a big battery in. tryed it before... FAIL... but im looking into XS batterys. also i have a 1700 rms amp, on all stock eletrical... right now i have a redtop main battery thats it... lights dim when i turn it up half way.. sucks... i also have the big going. but idk alot about batterys. can somone toss me their 2 cents?

i just recently got a hold of 2 XS batterys and i was planning to wire them up. but not sure if i would need a fuse inbetween the batterys, i also seen a few with busbars. would i need a fuse from the 2 batterys in the back to the main car battery in the front?

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!

How much would one of these cost? Shipped to Houston also. Trying to get some electrical in the area, thanks!

Hello, One of my friend has a 15' Xcon sub and he is willing to buy a Sundown 3500 D to play it at 2 ohms. He has a JBL px 600.4 at 2 ohms for all his speakers. Everything is (will be) playing on an old Optima yellow and a stock 105 amp alternator. He wants to upgrade his electrical system : he's installing 0 ga power and ground everywhere and he has planned to do the big3. We have a local dealer of XS and Kinetic. He knows that his optima is finally quite dead, so he will replace it. What should he do ? He would like to play his system a little bit with the engine off for demonstration. But this is not a must have ! I am waiting for advices. He will get his car back from…

I'm planning on powering a sundown 2000d off a regular battery up front and a D3100 in back. Don't think my puny little 90Amp stock alt will survive for long with that load so... Let me rephrase lol "makes one" for less than like 600$? I emailed a representative at MechMan and they wanted me to ship out my current alt so they could clone the casing and make me a custom 200 amp one for 599$ because its a one off project?! Any reasonable prices on these things?

i have a 2004 Chevy Blazer 2 door. my Bosch battery did fine when i was funning a little 300 watt system not long ago but i recently upgraded and am pulling over 1200 watts rms between my mono block and 4 channel. i want to run one single battery right now but will eventually run a second or more in the trunk area. What would you suggest for me? i'm looking at the d3400.. its a tight squeeze but i can make it work. is this a good idea?

I was wondering what battery size should I get to replace my stock battery? And I will also be running an audio system with around 4k watts, any suggestions?

The stock battery is classified as a group 45 battery. Which of your batteries is the closest to the stock size? CCA's is 600 amps.

Did a guys 2008 chevy trailblazer, he needs a strong underhood replacement. what i think wiil fit is the d3400 like in my 1999 s10. can you telll me what is the proper size for this truck so I can place the order. thnx

this thing is the cheapest i found by almost $100 less than anything else. it looks legit to me but it seems too good to be true.. haha any and all thought will be appreciated.My link http://www.automotiveconcepts.net/store/Ford-Ranger_product_1572336168.html Thanks Matt Cusack

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.

If my stock alt was a 75 amp alt and long term goal is to run 3000rms audio would the 250 amp alternator be enough? or for better understanding whats the highest rms system that alternator can handle?

i will be running an 15'' btl on a RFamp (3000 watts rms)....How big of a h/o alternator is needed? 200 amp? 250 amp? How many batteries should i get? How powerful? Brands? i will also be running my speakers on 100 watts each

I was planning on getting 3 2400 batteries and putting one of them up front as the starting battery and the other two in the back but i was wondering if it would be better if i ran the 3400 up front and two 2400 in the back which setup would be the best too go with

I was hoping someone could inform me of the advantages I will recieve by replaceing my stinger 1500d with the new powermaster 3400D I am just hoping the switch is worth it but Im assuming it is any input would be appreciated

Ok, what's with the reverse polarity deal here? What is the benefit? I'm guessing I would have to wire the 5100r different from the 5100 when running it as a second battery? So the black is actually the +, and the red is actually - ? Is the point in this so you can wire it in series?

what is the difference between the powermaster 5100 and the powermaster 5100R...they look as if they have the exact same specs

I'm in need of posts to use to install the battery. I have a 2000 Acura integra ls which I'm trying to install a 5100r but can't find the correct terminal posts to use. Any advice where I can get them? Thanks
