I'm not a big fan of Optima. In my opinion they are unreliable. It's not uncommon for them to end up totally unservicable after discharging it one or two times. I think the Kinetik power cells and also Audio Force (same exact thing as the kinetic including cost) are much more reliable. Just my two cents.

I have had optimas, but decided on this venture to try out the kinetik's. I will let you know shortly, how I like them.

I just put a Kinetik 800 in my car for my two JL Audio 500/1 amps. No dimming of my lights when I am idling at a stand still. This things works well.

I just purchased 2 Deka Intimidators a few days ago.....if I hadn't bought the Deka's, I would have diff went with the Kinetiks simply because of all the excellent reviews and praise from current competitiors......I've heard too many horror stories lately about the Optima's dying on people in the lanes and not properly cycling the way they should...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I've had both.

I'll more than likely stick with Optima D31's.

Have had one going strong for over 3 years. Sits at ~13.1 car off.

I just bought 3 kinetik 2400's after doing several burps during a clinic my batteries still were at 12.8 volts.

Picked up a Deka for $135 a few months ago, hard to beat, especially for that price. If the HC2400's were on sale at the time I might have gone that way, but happy with my decision.

Kinetik.
