Another Battery Question

[Crownvicon28s 10+ year member]

I plan on getting rid of my redtop upfront because I will have an AGM battery in the back because mixing different kinds of batteries shortens the lifespan of the batteries right? With that being the case does it matter which AGM battery I put under the hood because I cant fit a battery like this under the hood, will any AGM battery work? I was thinking a Kinetik 1800.

I just ordered an XS Power D3400 that is said to be much stronger than a kinetik2400. It's replacing my factory battery under my hood and that's the only battery I'm going to run. I have no room in the back for another.

you want the batteries to be as "alike" as possible. By being as alike as possible you want them to have the same resistance and capacity that way they charge and discharge closer to the same rate.

The red top is an agm battery just not a deep cycle.

Also is that d3400 more powerful than a d2700? I know its smaller and cheaper than a d2700 and a good buddy of mine just sold his d2700 because it was his weakest battery.
