Battery Gurus, Help Please!

[Bassin Brandon]

Hey all, so I am going to be running my system and my car off one battery (my system will run about 4700watts alone). I am able to do this with an XS D3100 battery, but just barely... however I was wondering if there are better options for me. Cheaper/smaller alternatives that do the same amount of power or even more. Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

P.S. Links to batteries helps too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

cheaper.. and smaller? lol what size is your alt? are you trying to stay in a certain class for battery size?

Smaller- batcap, maybe. But by no means cheaper.

You need a flux capacitor //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

250 amp alt, I am not sure of the brands of batteries out there...IDK as long as it can fit in my 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 6cyl. Then I am happy.

might I ask why you aren't going to run 2 batts? what are you resting at while bumping? 12.3?

this has fail written all over it.

 

[Bassin Brandon]

the system isnt even installed. my little optima redtop would get depleted in a matter of seconds if I hooked the system up to it.....so I need to get a bigger battery...and theres no room for 2 batteries unless they are redtops/yellow tops..... I have no room besides under the hood so one battery is really a necessity........

hmm... 4700 true watts is a little much for one of those.. Hell I am looking at 2+ of those for a saz3kd

 

[Bassin Brandon]

yeah so I really have a dilemma here

Well you can't make magic.. you gotta pay to play.. If you want that much power its not going to run off hopes and dreams.. so whether you make your box smaller or find a way to mount a second battery up front idk..

 

[Bassin Brandon]

i dont mind paying more for the battery as long as it will fit and full power my system + my car together...

in your case a regular batt won't do so measure your space and look at batts like c & d or batteries like that.. how big is your box that you can't fit a battery in the back with it? you walling the jeep off?

 

[Bassin Brandon]

nah im not walling it off....heres a video of my "trunk" lol the box will take the whole space up AND it wont be enough cubes to satisfy the subs I think //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

I made the video to show buck my trunk.....

Hey Brandon, I looked around and this was the only thing I could find that might help. I am not familiar with the space available in your engine bay, but I thought it might be worth you taking a look. Hope this helps!
