I have already done the big 3 (actually 4), installed a dc engineering 270 HO alt, and dropped in a xs power d6500 starting battery up front. While this is supplying just enough power for my sundown scv2000d, I am looking to add another 1000 watt amp for an x8.Anyways my question is, Do I have to get another d6500 to run in parallel or can I use a xp3000? They are closely priced but I see that the xp3000 has quite a lot more ah.  I just see people saying that if you don't use the exact same battery it can cause discharging and early wear.Btw the secondary battery will be located in a custom center console.Thank you!</blockquote>
