anyone ran a good battery (kinetic) in the winter?

so I'm about to buy a better primary battery and eventually put in a second matching one in back once I get a bigger sub amp. I was thinking kinetic because I've heard nothing but good things but I'm open to any suggestions. I do listen to my radio when the car is off from time to time at work, no longer than 20mins at a time maybe 4 times a shift but my current cheapo battery handles that fine. I plan in saving this battery for winter unless anyone knows if the good kinetic,batcap or similar are capabale of handiling below 0 temps.

I forgot to say I always pull my sub and amps and switch to HU power when it gets cold but wondering about batteries

Kinetiks do the job...but I switched to DEKA Intimidator 9A31's.

I had 3 Kinetik 2000's and now I've got 3 DEKA's and pound for pound, in my opinion I like the DEKA's a lot better. With these I've got less voltage drop and they seem like stronger batteries. I run around town pounding and it never drops under 13.5-13.7 on the hardest notes..

Kinetiks will probably work just fine though for you though....the 2000's were good batts, just in my opinion I'd give the DEKA's a look and they're pretty cheap.

you are comparing Group 27 batteries to arger group 31..dekas are ok but if you beat on them i would and could guess what happens too them.... they are inexpensive for a reason. about 3 years ago i had to take a pallet of them to be recycled...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif i have ran my 1400 for the last 3 winters
