Only if you are talking about performance, quality, customer service, and bang for your buck!

Could be heat from the radiator. We do not have a metal case for the 3400 series. If you can either post up some pics or shoot me an email [email protected] and we will get it figured out. If you were resting at 12.8 then you are good as far as the battery goes, but I would look at adding maybe a light metal piece to deflect some of the heat from the battery.

Feel free to send us a pic and we can take a look at it for you. The 3400s have a reinforced shell and can sometimes give the look of a slight bulge. There are a couple of quick ways to test it to see if it is still ok. You can either take it to an auto parts/battery store and have them hook it up on a Midtronics tester or charge the battery and then let is set for 12 to 24 hours. If the resting voltage is 12.9 or higher after that time frame you are fine. If I was guessing I would say the battery is fine. The heat of the engine bays can sometimes cause the battery to swell, but for precaution reasons I would check the voltage output of the alternator. If a regulator goes bad in the alternator it can cause a spike in voltage, which would cause it to charge at too high of a voltage and the battery could swell from overcharging. Let me know what you find either way and we will make sure you are taken care of.

what kinda price shipped to 63701 are we talking about. This has same pulley as my stock alt so i dont have to change belts. Not sure what SSA will charge for shipping, but you can purchase it through their store for $499 plus the shipping. Just need to contact denim and see if he can add the item in for you on the store or if it would be easier for them to just do the order manually. Yes it will be direct bolt on and should use the stock belt if you want to use that one.

If you have the 2.0L then we have a 250amp alt that will work with your application and will come as a direct bolt up unit.

Those 1500D like the power, so you would be pushing it with just one S1200 on stock alternator power. I would suggest running a small battery in the back. I know you said you dont have the room, but even the D680 would help you out and it is very small and easy to hide in the back or under a seat.

Optima publicly states that the red top is not meant for use in audio applications, and will not be warrantied. For the 07 Suzuki Reno, we would recommend our D3400 or S3400 Group 34 battery. It is a bit of a tight squeeze, but is the most power you can fit in that space without major modifications. Thanks!

What is the lowest you can charge it at? Because on a twelve volt. System as long as its in the 13.1-14.5 range every thing is fine. What is the threshold with the 14.0v battery? And what is the voltage on a fully charged/discharged 14.0v battery. Thank you I have a guy that is running his 14V in his Ford without a step down and charging in the low 16V range with good performance. He is not getting the peak performance out of it and is actually shortening the life of the battery, but he is fine with that. If you look at it mathematical, then you figure optimal charge rate is 2.4V per cell. You need at least .75V to 1V of charge in excess of the resting voltage you want. So, a 12V system is fully charged at 12.9v. To get it to that rate you need to charge at a minimum charge rate of 13.65V to 13.9V. A 12V battery has 6 cells in it, so 13.65v/6 = 2.275V per cell and 13.9V/6 = 2.317V per cell. Keep in mind this is the min you want to charge at. To charge at the optimal charge rate of 14.4V you would need to charge at the 2.4V per cell. Ok 14V battery has 7 cells. Do the same math but divide by 7. A fully charged 14V battery will be at 14.9 to 15V. So the minimum you can charge is 15.65 to 16V. That puts you at 15.65V/7 =2.236V per cell and 16V/7 = 2.286v per cell. Again the optimal charge rate is 2.4V per cell which would have you charging at 16.8V.

By your measurements it sounds like the D2700 would work for the room you have to work with. The side posts on the Ibar kit will not work on the D2700. If you are using this for car audio, then AH ratings are useless actually. They are low amperage pulls for extended periods of time. Car audio needs High amperage out put in short bursts with the ability to recover quickly.

We haven't run into any problems with the GMs running the 14V system. Some Ford and Dodge applicatoins can run it no problem, but some of the newer applications need to have a step down in there for the vehicles electrical system. You would need either an alternator that is regulated to 16.8V or be able to run the VCM and control the voltage output through it. The 14Vs need to be charged in the 16.8V range.

Keep the registrations coming in. Remember that you need to be registered a month before World Finals to be eligible.

We have the VCMs back in stock and ready to go with the original applications only. We currently do not have any VCMs for Ford applications.

With the info you provided I would suggest a D6500.

Nothing new to report unfortunately. Delays, Delays, Delays. Its like having a flight on Delta and flying through O'Hara Airport.

Just to let you all know I will be out of the office next week, so if you need something just call the main office number 888.497.7693 and the front desk will help you out. I will not be able to check my PMs or email, so there will be a delay on those responses. Thanks, Nathan

The D5100R should work for you.

Iraggi is in a location that was hit hard with the flooding in west and middle TN, so that could be some of the delays in communication. I know at one point the road into their shop was closed off. Not sure what the current status is. Not trying to make excuses for them, but I know west and middle TN were hit very hard and they are still trying to recover.

What vehicle is it going in? If you can fit a S3400 under the hood and have decent alternator you would be good. It really depends on what you are going to be using it for and how much room you have to work with. The scale linked to above will give you some good info to start with.
