Budget Battery

[Mattd0344 10+ year member]

I'm looking at replacing my stock battery to either a Stinger SPV44 or a Deka Intimidator 9A34. I'm on a budget and don't want to spend more than about $160 and these fall right under that price. Which one is better than the other since they are both about the same price? Also, I will later be adding a rear battery in the future as well. Either a Stinger SPV70 or a Deka Intimidator 9A31 depending on the front battery. Thanks in advance for any input

Im looking into a batt also, I need a compact one though. The Stingers look small, but IDK...

Ya I'm in the same boat. I have a 2006 Honda Civic so fitting is tight, but I can squeeze up to a group 34 in.

How many watts are you running on it and how long has it been running strong?

I like the way stinger gives no real actual specs

I used to run stingers, I hated them, ran dead easy and didn't hold a good charge for long

I didn't like that either. I just heard that they were a good reliable battery for cheap and that they had a quick "energy transfer" such as when they bass hits and demands more power.

Anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 watts. Holds up really nice, and it keeps a charge. MY power wire came undone the other day so the amp drained it dry but after a good 4 hour charge everything was holding around 14.3. Dropped down to 13.4 on my saz-3000 but i only have it turned up about half way.
