Ok heres the deal, im lookin for the best possible battery for what i have, i have 2 800W pioneer premier mono amps and a 40 X 4 pioneer amp for my interiors. does anyone know what the best battery would be, i have no clue if i should get a deep cycle or not and what size i need. i have been running all of this for about a year off my stock battery and its not really cutting it anymore, not to mention my alt is shot so im doing everything rite this time and want the best. thanks in advance

 

Energizer because it keeps going and going and going...

I get my battery's at walmart or autozone. Hopfully someone will chime in. Free bump!

 

Anything Sealed, the name brand batteries tend to all work the same

 

Optima Yellow Top FTW!!!!

 

will i have starting problems with a yellow top? also what size do i need?

bump

 

agreed!


my buddy has 2 of them in his car he uses it to power this....http://www.cerwinvegamobile.com/strokerpro.php.... ******* great batties... i have the deep cycle ones in my boat, tractors, and my car....

 

optma FTW!!!!!

 

3rd That!

 

ok ill go with the yellow top. which one do i get?

 

good choice. Just take emasurements of the battery tray area and then go to autozone and measure their optimas, thats what i just did with my friends eclipse since they didnt list a size for it on their website.

 

look on battery you will see something called the CCA or cold cranking amps your going to have to atleast get that size of that number you can go higher but DO NOT GO SMALLER or you will have problems but for brands i was tolde optmium {SP) is the best.

 

consumer reports rated one from WalMart the highest by a good amount

 

anything sold at walmart is ******* garbage....

 

LOL... really? i dont think thts what im looking for tho. im kinda running allot of audio equip.

[sarcasm]you're right i lied...[/sarcasm]


you'll have better luck with a stronger alternator if you haven't upgraded that already, and also upgrading your ground wire from the battery to chassis, the power wire from the battery to main junction, and the power wire from the alternator to the battery. probably like 4 gauge if you can.

 

the best batteries you can buy are optima... I use them in my truck and my two boats... Ive been meaning to get one for my car because Im pushin some power in my car too, but they are alittle pricy... but definatly worth it... so i mean if you have the money go for it...

 

i've had a handful of friends who have had problems with optimas in cars that didn't even have systems in them FWIW.

 

^^maybe they bought the wrong kind and size???

 

ditto! optima makes the batteries you can install sideways and upside down and they wont leak!!!! theyre kinda expensive, but meh you get what u pay for... i think mine was like 125$.... that was like 3 yrs ago though.

 

just got bak from buying and installing a yellow top, my voltage is pretty stable now tho i still need a new alternator. it was 188 from advance

 

You need a good cap. and alternator more than a good battery.

 

well i already have a cap and the new alternator is on the way,

 

screw optima, the best battery out there for this purpose is the kinetik 2800 but it wont fit in the stock location, so go with a kinetik 1800, the 1800 its pretty much the same thing as 1 and a half yellow tops

 

Discounted Halloween candy? I think not!
