XS uses a different tech for plates and lead.
Really? I'm sure the lead they use is hand mined by virgins in the Swiss Alpes. Is this something documented (by someone who doesn't sell their batteries)? Do they have their own factory somewhere? Sounds like typical Car Audio snake oil to me. Is this magic new tech patented by them or is it something available in a different product under another name?
I know you have seen the pull test where it smoked a kinetic and a Deka type cell.
Haven't seen it actually. What PRECISELY did it do? Why is it "better"? Is it "better" for all applications? By what % is it "better" than everything else? How can XS's magic make their 75 AH battery have as much reserve as other brand's 105AH?
It was done by XS, I'm sure that is not good enough for you. I guess all the test Jacob does on his woofers dont matter either.
Sorry to say, but the audio industry in general has been full of snake oil salesmen from the beginning. Not sure why you bring Jacob into this. I listen to everything, but believe almost nothing if I can't verify it to my satisfaction. I'm giving you a chance to prove how these batteries are twice as good (in what application?) as everything else, and you're really dancing around the issue trying to justify the money you spent on them.
Tell me something... If the cheapest way out works how come nobody doing it big uses somehting else?
So EVERYBODY big uses XS? First of all, I promise you can't prove that claim, second of all, OP isn't "going big" if you even read the thread instead of trying to prove your p@nis size by what brand name you over-pay for, you'd see that he could probably get away with just about anything new provided his connections are sound and he's done big 3.
Look it up. Xs batteries discharge voltage and charge faster then any other battery out. U can research and find all kinds of tests done. They are the best.
Are they better size vs. size, weight vs. weight, price vs. price, or just better than everyone else because you paid more for them and like their marketing?
Not all of us are as proud of overpaying as you are, don't think that makes us cheap bastards //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
Last install I did was 14 xs power batts and 2 390xps, voltage was less then stellar. Considering what that pallet of batts cost and the fact he had room to run more Deka's which would have been the same price. I'm not all that impressed.
I've yet to see any magic from xs other then how fast your $$$ disappears and I've done several installs with them cuz that's what the customer has. Their money so their choice....
I bet you'd get banned from SMD for a comment like that!
Really I'm not even knocking XS power, but my gut tells me there's only 1 or 2 factories that make every battery out there, and I also suspect the performance gains are marginal compared to the inflated price. It's funny watching all the fanboys try to dance around reciting some marketing hype though.
