Battery Help

[Iosias 10+ year member]

Gonna be running a BC2000 and BC1100.4, Need helping picking a battery to go with my Yellow Top.

I will eventually be upgrading the yellow top to a D3400 and getting a 270amp alternator. Looking to buy a XS power battery

Thinking the D3100 unless a smaller battery could work im all for that (something cheaper would be nice.)

a d3100 is alot of battery cant go wrong with it at all .

From looking at the battery charts a D1200 would support 3000 watts as a secondary, combo with a 3400 in the front think that would be enough?

Just get the d3100.. It will be a good thing to have. Can't go wrong with too much juice

Put the D3400 up front. You can get the XP3000 if your mounting inside vehicle. 120 ah battery, more than enough.

xspower IMO is a better option d3100 has a thick case big slugs amd has 3 year warranty not some china recycled lead battery

Xs power recomanded a xp2000 with d3400 upfront. So I'm gonna get a xp 2500 then 3400 upfront.

I dont think there is anything wrong with deka. Nor C&D or Powerwre for that matter. Some people like to go the less inexpensive route. I know bgowdy got all of his for about the price of 1 1/2 of the xs power batteries.

Thats a deal i would say. Plus they are 100+ ah as well. Thats what alot of people are looking at anyway, is the ah. Could care less the cca or the ca

imo

2 xs batts and 270 alt is overkill for your power range. I'd do upgraded batt under good and in back. Should be plenty from expierence.

ive actually been doing alot of research about amp hours and things like that. everyone looks at the amp hours. i was schooled by some veterans from meca and a iasca judge. and when they break it down it made alot of since. ah's actually when it comes down to isnt as important as it seems

I may go this route if my voltage stays steady.
