Batcap 8400/s ????

[bumpin buick 5,000+ posts]

I am looking to purchase a Batcap 8400, possibly two, off of another member and was wondering if you guys think they will supply enough power to my amps. I have no experience with these batts so I have no clue how much juice they will really give. Well I have a 300amp alternator with an external regulator. Also these are the 16v versions of the 8400s. Will one be enough to power a pair of AB 500.1s? They run daily at 1.4ohms and will burp at .33ohms. Let me know what you guys think I should do, thanks

Lol I'd say those 8400s are the beefiest battery's...

no doubt there beefy but just wondering if you guys think i can be good with just 1 or will i need both? I plan to bassrace that is my real concern as I am sure 1 will be fine on a burp

im not worried about finding them Louisiana CRX has some, I just want to know if anyone who actually knows about them would recomend me using 1 or getting 2. Obviously id prefer to just get one unless i really need two

8400's cost around $1000 (lil more or less) and back at 2005 usaci finals alot of guys switched from bat cap to kinetik banks (17.7 modded banks 4 2400). according to Robert Kollar at the time there was a big difference ( he had used both and is a multiple usaci world champ)according to one of his DB drive team members who switched from 1 8400 to 1 bank the bank was much louder. bat caps do offer a space/weight advantage but costs and use for daily driving i would question. Its good stuff though when used propperly. Steve Cook uses both Kinetik and BC 8400's together, but it isnt a daily driver either. I would ask Bat Cap themselves about daily driving with 8400's that way you know exactly what you are doing without hearsay.

Batcaps have a faster discharge and recharge I believe.However that doesn't make them a good daily like the kinetics.
