Battery decision

[Davecubs14 10+ year member]

I'm probably gonna get a AQ2200 and feed it to my HDC3(i'm sure it would run better on it than on the 1200D I have). Now. I have a blazer, 105 amp alt. What size battery should I look for? And how do I figure out if it would fit?

So any opinion on what to get? I was thinking a kinetik 1800 or something but not sure if it can handle 2000 watts by itself or be able to fit.

I don't really have a budget, something fairly cheap. let's say around 250 I guess.

Would also accept offers off of here.

Get the biggest battery you can fit wherever it is you want to locate it.

To see if it will fit, just get the measurements of the battery you have now (if replacing original battery), and compare the sizes.

with 250 bucks u might be able to pick up two used or new spv70's on here for around 300 shipped that will give u around 140amps per hour and should do the job.

one might do the job i got one in the back, stock 130amp alt, big 3, duralast gold upfront, 1/0 ground and power to the back, battery spv70 with a zx1500@2ohms and a zx850.4 drops to mid 12's at idle with lights on lights off high 12's to low 13's

Yeah, i'll probably measure and see if I can fit which stinger or kinetik battery(or w/e brand) would fit.

If I have to do 2 batteries, I will. I just want to push my sub very well and don't want to have voltage problems and starve the amp. right now I feel like my sub isn't getting pushed at all, and if I turn the gain up too high to give it a push, it starts clipping.

I figured I could ask on here and see what other blazer owners have.

i ran the 2200 with a RT under the hood and a batcap 2000 in the rear(no big 3)

saw 14.2-3 at the lowest //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

hmmm I could run a batcap 800 up front and the 2000 in the back. But if I could, I would avoid getting a second battery. So you don't think I could run it with just 1 batcap 2000 or something along the same lines? I've done the big 3 in 0 gauge.

Any more input on running around 2000 watts on one battery?

kinetik 2400 up front? not sure if itll fit. i run a redtop up front also in my blazer, and a 2000 in the rear

i'd reccomend a optima YT or somethin like a 2400/ powermaster D3100/2400, etc etc up front.

 

[Davecubs14 10+ year member]

Ok, thanks. I'll look into those powermasters more, they look nice.

 

[Davecubs14 10+ year member]

Ok. So I might act like i'm slow after asking this question but i'm not.

I have a battery that does 600 CCAs. Would buying a batcap 2000 or something and put it in the back handle 2000 watts?

I guess i'm just thinking, maybe I shouldn't replace my front battery, just put one in the back. What do you guys think?

look at the deka intimidator batteries. they are very strong & reasonable.
