Can I run just regular car batteries in the back??

[Jeepjones85 10+ year member]

I want to know if I can run like 2 or 3 O'Riley audio parts brand batteries

in the back of my truck in those plastic battery boxes??

Because there way way cheaper than Kinetik and im

not tryin to compete right now. And the O'Riley batt's

come with like a 2yr warranty too

O yeah this will be going on a 3000w rms system And im open

for suggestion

i doubt it would be good idea

Aren't those acid cell batterys, which I'm guess if the ish spills you got a mess. But then again, it could work. But the fumes and sh*t would drive me crazy. This hobby is expensive anyway though, don't half a** it, you know.

i would not think it would be a good idea. kinda a waste lets say a battery made for starting the car would cost lets say 80 bucks. u can get a battery made for car audio for 150.

There not going to spill because they will be in boxes bolted down

and there not going inside the truck there going in the bed of my truck

under the tool box

Since you said truck I don't think it would hurt, as long as the batteries are outside the cabin, because a non-sealed battery will release fumes when being charged, and will spill everywhere if not set levely.

Im am planing on getting a missing link adapter for my alternator

and it will be making my alt put out like 14.8v how would that work

on those regular batt's?? would they still charge properly??

I have never heard of a case where the batteries fumes and destroys something or someone passes out from gas or they explode and any other that other crazy crap you hear. Tell me any of you honesty have? And batteries are heavy, why ever would they flip and spill? I'm assuming he would have them up against the box and that would be enough support. I myself run duralast marine batteries and they perform well.

Yeah but still the whole situation seems unsafe to me. But why not just save the money than put on the amp.

if you cant afford Kinetic overpriced then buy something different, dont buy shit batteries

 

[Jeepjones85 10+ year member]

I dont see how it would be unsafe in the bed of my truck there's already one

acid batt under the hood what would be wrong with a couple more in the bed of the truck

I just want to know if it will work
