Better Batt? Kinetik 1800 vs Stinger SP1000

[XHiFiX 10+ year member]

Out of those two, which would be better to go with? It's going to be the stand alone Batt, replacing the stock. I've heard a lot of good things about Kinetiks, not so much about Stingers (heard they are the same as Odyssey). According to http://www.stingerelectronics.com/thetruth/ , seems Kinetiks are overrated, but can I trust info from a competitor's tests...

first line is a 2400 second is a 1800 third . rate of test was 87.5 amps for 30 minutes. where is a sheet like this on an spv 70?what would it have done? did it fail or show worse than the kinetik that they decided not to show it? what about the spv35? did it fail before any tests?

What type of load do you think the batteries will see? 875 amps to drive a 2000-3000 watt system:laugh:? or do you think the battery in the system will see a bunch of smaller loads between 50-200 amps? CA and CCA amp tests are 30 second tests to UNDER 7.5 V..do you want to try and run your amps below 10v-9.5v? Do you really think the 2150 that stinger sells puts out a usable 2150 amps for a 12v audio system? what about the 5000 amps they claim?

1400 lasts almost 23% longer on a 55 amp draw for 30 min.
