Kinetik KHC1400 or Batcap 800?

The Deka under the hood?

it would hold up alot better than a kinetik but it is equal to a kinetik hc600 not a 1400

then u can run the batcap800 in the rear or get a bigger batcap and run both

yea, as long as you dont have it near a high heat source (sitting close to the headers, or anyhting like that) and arent pulling a massive load from it (which can also cause it to heat up)

High heat on any battery that is left in a sulfated state will over charge and swell. My kinetik is over 7 years old and works like a champ. When you leave a battery under charged the lead sulfate turns into more and more of an insulator until it crystalizes. When it crystalizes the battery is shot. When the battery is sulfated and left to be charged with your alternator it will not charge correctly and present a more contant large load on the alternator and will not charge very quickly if at all. This is why it is important to have a good charger or at least keep your agm battery resting between 12.7 to 12.9 volts. This is measured with the car off and waiting at least 3 hours (over night works really well). If your AGM battery can not keep a 12.7v state of charge you may need a larger alt or check your wiring.
