Would it be reliable enough to use as a main battery?

especially considering winter is coming up.

all that will be running off it will be a shark 300w mono amp and a 50wx2 2channel shark amp.

and would this version of the 800

be better than the regular version?

is it worth the price difference?

that should do enough, maybe go with a 1200 just for overkills sake

Thats a little too small I would run as big a batt as I could fit. Later down the road your gonna want to upgrade equipment and at least you wouldnt have to replace it plus the specs on a 800 are rather low

Im not going to be upgrading.

i already had 4 big systems and i am done with it.

i specifically asked about this battery for a reason.

im going for light weight.

It should work...I ran A batcap 800 as a regular battery in a car that had a small system...that battery should be similar

Under the hood battery I would go with a 1400 especially if you live in a cold area in winter.I know they use 800's in race cars and show cars under the hood but alot of those cars are not daily drivers with a bunch of accessories. In the show cars when they aren't at a show the cars typically sit in a garage with a maintainer on them (actually that is many of the cars with smaller than stock batteries not just kinetik)

only reason is because i do not have a battery under my hood.

i relocated my battery to my trunk.

although i was looking at a kinetik, cant remember if it was 1200 or 1400 and it weighed under 30 lbs iirc.
