Battery question

[xbrandonxx 10+ year member]

I am looking to purchase another battery for my car. I have heard good things abou the kenitik but nothing about the shurekin. I k ow the reviews say the shurekin is equivalent to the kinetic at a lower price. So does anyone have an idea about which one to go with?

Shuriken are fine. They both routinely get beasted on by XS and Northstar, but bang for buck the shurikens are nice.

Ok so just to stop my lights from dimming when my subs hit a shurekin will work?

We cant possibly answer that question without guessing. Far too many variables to consider, and you have provided us with none of them.

Ok I put a jl 500/1 in my car yesterday and now my lights dim when the w7 hits. Will a shurekin battery work for something like that or do I need to go with a kenetik. Not sure what other variables there are.

just do the big 3 and you wont have anymore dimming.

You're running a SUV but your lights dim off 500w? Something doesn't add up here..

Right

Right

Did you check around for any shorts? Bad ground? Your battery up front may be faulty. If you have access to a dmm you should check to see what your voltage is when your lights dim. I agree you should do the big 3, simply because it can only help, but 500w is hardly anything.

Would check my grounds before buying a new battery.

What is the alt size? What other amplifiers, if any, are being used? Does it only happen with the AC on?
