Odyssey PC1750 V.S. Kinetik HC2400

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

Hey guys, now I am down to 2 battery choices.. It is either Kinetik HC2400 or the Odyssey PC1750

I originally was going to buy a HC2400, but a member suggested me Odyssey since and now it got me hooked and now I am unsure which one to get..

Kinetik Specs:

AGM Technology

Sealed Non-Spillable Design

Higher Voltage Under Load

Tightly Packed Cells

Superior Heat & Vibration Resistance

Weight: 69 lbs.

Ah: 128

Amps: 2600

Dimensions: 13" x 6.7" x 8.5"

Odyssey specs:

Absorbent glass mat (AGM) technology

12V battery pure VRLA

BCI group 65 battery

Rugged construction

Tin plated brass SAE terminals

Can be mounted in any orientation. To meet group 65 specifications, battery must remain upright.

Suitcase lifting handle

Container and cover made from oil resistant plastic

11 13/16 x 7 1/4 x 7 7/16

60 pounds

Reserve capacity: 135 minutes on 25amps

Odyssey PC1750 will fit in my stock battery location with no problem at all.. It got 135 Ah rating.

Kintik HC2400 will not fit in my stock location but I can make it work pretty easy.. also it got 128 Ah

The size of both batteries are a bit different, Hc2400 got 2600 cranking amps while PC1750 got 1800 cranking amps..

not sure if cranking amps are important or not.. So which one is better for me? I mean I think the specs said it all, Odyssey got a better Ah rating and will git in my stock location.. that is pretty obvious that we have a winner here but for some reason, something is telling me to go with HC2400..

SO I want to see what you guys would go with if you guys were me..

Thanks!

(if you choose "other" then post what you would use here, I only have 12" in length, 8" in width, and 7" in height to play with in my stock battery location)

Any reason in particular that you aren't looking at Odyssey's largest battery compared to Kinetik's largest?

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

because of the dimensions.. PC7150 would fit in my stock battery tray with no problem.. if i look at bigger ones then it is going to require some modifications

need inputs before I proceed to buy!

I would go with the Kinetik

yeah but keep in mind it is not going to fit in stock location..

maybe I did not make this clear.. I am trying to see if you guys think that odyssey battery is up to the par with kinetik?

I mean is odyssey a good brand n such?

I dont see odyssey battery around that much, actually I never have saw one in person before.. thats why I am so unsure despite the fact that it got a better Ah rating and will fit in my stock location

Odyssey's are good batteries but the 1750 isn't going to be better than Kinetik's largest battery, IMO.

Also, 135 minutes on 25 amps isn't 135 Ah.

25A * 2.25H = 56.25 Ah

I'm not positive, but 135 Ah definitely isn't the rating. 56Ah does seem a little low, though.

EDIT: A google search is showing 65-75 Ah rating.

interesting thing you found.. glad you brought this up.. I guess I will have to look up for better answer..

are you positive that it is 65-75 Ah? why do you multiply 25A and 2.25H? what is 2.25H though?

If it is for real that it does not have 135 Ah rating then no wonder since it seems to be too good to be true since it is not that big of a battery

 

[JarvisB 10+ year member]

can anyone else chime in and confirm that this battery does not have reserve capacity of 135 Ah?

Would appreciate it, thanks

It doesn't...no way you can get that kind of reserve out of a 60 pound sealed lead acid battery.

thought so, i just checked, the 2100 version of odyssey battery got only 100 Ah rating so I bet the 1750 got lower than 100 for sure

now i am telling myself "fu k this and buy myself a Kinetik!"

in case some of you dont know, there is one store that sells HC2400 for 300 shipped on ebay, (on sale for few more days i think)

Check out the warranty difference on both batteries. odyssey has 4 year replacement. I have a 1750 and a 1500dt and they are great batteries. Same as the stingers. Also the 1750 shouldn't be compared to the 1750 but is more on par with the 2150. Specs

Also look at the powermaster battery. They get good reviews.

By reasoning the unit of Ah, you can conclude that it stands for Amp * Hours, you multiply the amount of amps that it will take to fuly discharge a battery over an amount of time, in hours.

135 minutes = 2.25 hours

Thus 25A * 2.25 H = 56.25Ah

The standard for Ah testing is over 20 hours, however, not 2.25 like provided in the specs. I imagine that there isn't a direct relationship between Ah, which if that is true, then it makes sense that the Ah rating would be higher over 20 hrs than over 2.25.
