So I am in the market for some batteries.

I like the Kinetik, however they are a bit rich for my blood at the moment.

$699CDN for a single battery is a little steep.

I have access to Stinger and Shuriken batteries at a really good price.

The Shuriken batteries look to have similar specs with the Kinetik.

I'm just looking for some opinions from others on these batteries.

I am looking at the following batteries:

1) Kinetik HC2000 (x4) (one under the hood)

2) Kinetik HC2400 (x3) + HC800 under the hood

3) Shuriken SK-BT100 (x4) (one under the hood)

4) Shuriken SK-BT120 (x3) + SKBT35 under the hood

While at Performance World I talked with someone at the Kicker truck about what I was wanting to do, he said that I will only need 2 HC2400.

But at the Kinetik booth I needed 4 HC2000.

Thanks for the help

Edit:

I guess I should say what I am planning

2 Sundown SAZ-3000D's or SAZ-3500D's (depending on when I money available) & 2 SAX-100.4's

exides. dekas.

shurikens I was told by Metra that they would not start a car well and didn't recomend it to be used under the hood at all.

they are indeed made by metra... a great price if you buy wholesale

im using exides now.. they are great...

For the Stinger and Shuriken I'll be getting them at dealer cost.

Why are the Shuriken's no good for under the hood?

"Hello,

The battery will help your voltage draw but you can only use them in the rear cause there is no cranking amps in these battery.
