Are big batts worth it?

[Spldecendant]

Looking at say the kinetic hc3800 or the big stinger one there both around 500$ there only about 95lbs when I can get 4 deka g31's for 600$ new and are 70lbs a piece is there something I'm missing hear?

I've been wondering the same thing myself!

Yes the sticker that says kinetik costs 350$

It comes down to space and weight. If neither are an issue for you, there is no reason not to run more less expensive batteries.

Id run 4 dekas over a single 3800 anyday.. 4 Dekas is **** near twice the amp hour of the 3800 but then u run into the problem of weight.. Ive blown many many of shocks due to weight...

Yea i run all deka g31.s love em ..the blems can be had under 100 all day

[Spldecendant]

Yea I'm gonna go with the deka's I drive an 07 Tahoe so space and weight aren't really an issue I can probley fit the 2 under the hood and then 2 in the back.........this is to power my new opti drive 7001d on my 2 level 5 m1 18's but I plan on adding a 2nd 7001d and 2 more batts and another mechman 270 amp alt........do you guys feel that even the d3100's are worth the 350$ price tag comparable to 150$ deka that weights the same? As of right now the deka's look like the best choice

[NASTY08IMPALA]

Nothing beats the dekas for the money..like i said i get them for under 100 bucks all day

[Chriszle]

For me the 350 was worth it, only because I am limited in space to 1 battery in the trunk. If I had the space, I would have picked up 3 dekas instead.

my 3100's were worth every penny to me. in the back of my little car there just wasnt space for 4-5 batts. and the pair of them kept my stetsom 4k2d very happy.

There is indeed a difference. This has been on my list of stuff I want to address on forums. I just don't have crap for time right now

[Phoenix Risen]

^^^ esr has a good bit do do with it, which is something most people have never heard of.

Would love to read your explanation once you get time to post one up!

[nicholasmccabe]

My question is , can you really tell a differance in output?? A group 31 is a group 31 right?? or am i way off base??

For those of you that may say " an amp reated at 2500watts isnt the same as another amp rated at 2500 watts, i realize that. Im talking about volts and overall output from the battery

[groundpound4200]

There is more to battery performance than lead weight...
