Being the Kinetik dont hold me to it only come in the three post design. And I know the powermaster are beasts. Id still say go with powermaster. Even saying that. Expect to change batteries, A couple of years if you are using them for SPL. Dont hold me to anything I just said there. Just my .02

All depends on how much amperage are running on them, how often u charge them, etc... Can't give u an exact amount of time that they will last, is very install and system dependent.

OK so you think 5 years is possible or no??????

If you have enough to where you're not discharging them too low and putting a lot of strain on them.

All the 16v batteries I know of come with a 2 year or less warranty. If you use them correctly there is no reason they shouldn't last.

When I worked at Kinetik 2005-2006 just before the 3 posts were released I sold 5 of them pre order to be used in a daily set up and so far they are working good. I didn't go over telling him how to install them (as I was no longer at kinetik) but they hooked up all the 12v posts together and the 16v posts together and all is well still. Has not been 5 years yet but he was one of the first to get them and iirc turbo start has not back in bizz for very long and xs 16v batteries have not been out 5 years either. 16v 3 post vbattery now has a 2 year warranty all the rest have 1 year that i know of.

you would know more than me. i used to have the 2400 bank and loved it but only wired it for 16v for an occasional comp. I didn't keep my HC16v batts long enough to give a definitive answer on them either. I ran powermaster for a bit, but now I'm back with Kinetik 2400s.
