[QUOTE="smoka, post: 6317746, member: 606721"] She is right. They are not made to constantly cycle large amounts of current that is needed for car audio. There is a reason why they are cheaper than most batts, its because they are designed for batt backup systems and telecom systems etc. Sure you can use any 12v dc batt for a stereo. But they will definitely not last as long as a batt that is made for automotive use. I would bet that a C&D has around half the lifespan of a Deka, Optima, Odyssey, etc when used for car audio... Also the Ah numbers for 'non-automotive batts' is misleading. A 125 Ah C&D is not the same as 125 Ah Kinetik for example. [/QUOTE]
