Best Daily Driver Battery?

[Garrow215 10+ year member]

Hey guys, just bought a 2005 Chrysler 300, and I want to upgrade the battery for my upcoming stereo plans. Gonna run a 12" Rockford Fosgate Punch Power off an AQ1200. Was leaning toward either an Optima or Kinetik, but have also heard good things about the Deka Intimidators. Is one really better than the other? Thanks!

I have had good luck with optima batteries

My Deka Intimidator has been good to me.

Been using my Kinetik HC1800 for about 6 months with no issues whatsoever... I have 500w monoblock and a 300w front stage amp running off it with the stock alternator...

I would upgrade the batt under the hood to a xs S3400, you could easily run up to 2k.

I like XS power and Batcap. Batcap makes some powerful small batteries.
