Battery swap

[mendon mafia 10+ year member]

im planing on swapping my battery under the hood for a batcap 3000. will this be enough in combination with a 200 amp alt to power 4k rms daily?

where can i find batcap 3000's for a good deal, i can buy a BNIB batcap 2000 for $205 shipped but the 3000's i can only find for $400.

will i be able to get by with just a batcap 2000 and a 200 amp alt? i want to keep my trunk as clean as possible.

is there any other batteries that will perform like a batcap and still fit under my hood.

i have a group 34 battery under the hood. i think its like 10.25 x 8 x 7 ish. i can mod the tray if i need to but not enough to fit a hc2400 or equivalent.

I'd add it in the back plus another solid batt like another batcap 3k or a PM d3100 or something at least, on 4k that's really not enough

i just dont have much trunk space left after i build my new box or else id just get the 2 or 3k and keep the stock battery up front. but if it wont work well i will just have to buy a bunch of small batterys and put them around my spare tire. i just didnt want to spend $800 on batteries.

4k is alot of power, your gonna to have to get more batteries than that. Your just using a batcap up front with a alternator? That want do it at all. You got to have one in the back with a new one up front, thats the minumum I see for that much power.

well its fine off of the stock battery and hc2400 and 200 amp alt, so i was figuring that the batcap being so much more powerful than the hc2400 would be enough on its own.

3000 CCA is a lot. thats what the batcap 3k is rated for.

my only other option is to add a bunch if small batteries like batcap300's around my spare tire in the corners of the tire well.

how may you think i will need in conjunction with the batcap3000 and 200 amp alt.
