Kinetik and XS vs Odyssey or Deka? Which battery to buy

[rennocneb]

So i guess my question is there are only so many manufactures of batteries out there, meaning XS, Kinetik etc has to be build by someone. So are their products that much better at helping avoid dimming etc, or are they just good at marketing and fancy vinyl wraps for their batteries?

XS Power has the best quality all around. Performance, build etc. Not that the others are bad persay. You'll be shelling out the money for an XS Power, but you also get what you pay for. XS Power (May be biased, but gives you a clear cut idea) has many comparison videos on their youtube like the one I listed.

Deka 9a31 is what i use... cheap and work just as good as Xs power.. I can get 3 9a31s for the price of 1 D3100 from XS.. I run deka and love it, my voltage stays at 14.6 full tilt

my questions is who makes the xs power because i assure you they probably dont make it themselves. Stinger audio batteries for example are known to be repackaged odyssey batteries by enersys. Kinetik is made in china i hear? a good reason to stay away from them.

i currently have a group 34/78 deka under the hood and looking at what battery to put in the back. Running a SAZ1500D and a SAX125.2 for the highs. Can buy a used Kinetik hc2400 for roughly 100 bucks locally, or another deka group 34 for about the same new.

Put a G31 in the back, not a 34

With that amp you might need an HO alt to avoid dimming/voltage drop

I run Northstar agm31s. Built in USA, not over seas like XS.

ok so one last question here ive narrowed it down to two batteries either the Deka 9a31 or an odyssey group 31 agm. Which would be the better battery? price is roughly the same.

 

[rennocneb]

for the record the post above my last is exactly why it will be Deka or Odyssey. im not going to pay a higher price for a battery made in some far east country when i could get something that keeps men and women working here in the USA.

reason why Great quality, 5 year non pro rated warranty made in usa and it's available nationwide at

your local battery plus store.

]Kinetik Pro series are made in the USA and I would run them against any other AGM battery of the same size for starting and or audio use.
