90% of all batteries made use recycled lead..that reason to discard a battery is absurd. As far as the video above, It means nothing as far as anything I would do with it, same for 90% of the people who buy one. Seriously? You are telling me you are putting a 500a load on a single D31 battery?
LOL...Fire up the load tester cold and put it on the XS first so that you can eliminate any doubt in my mind of unbiased testing in a XS Power sponsored video.

...the Author lost me when he explained breifly that the heat buildup in the tester was creating a lot of resistance....and obviously the video results reflect that fact...

but hell yea, 9.3v after a true 30 second 500 amp load test is allright in my book, I don't compete and the only comparison that will help me and many others like me is the same test between one of those D31's and a regular wet cell D31 or even a Yellowtop.

I agree with you that most batteries are made with recycled lead. However, 99 percent of people are also using their batteries to start their car and that's about it. It doesn't matter to me what amperage he decided use for the load test. If he used 100, 200, or 300 amps for the test I am sure the kinetik would still have the most voltage drop out of the 3. To answer your question, yes I have put 500+ amp load on a single D3100 many times over and I can guarantee you I am not the only one. Will the kinetik work, yes. Will it perform as well as several other options, I would say no. Side note, Nathan (from XS) told me to go with Odyssey when they were sold out of the group 34s. He said performance wise it is on par with the D3400.

Is this alternator good enough for 1650 watts: https://www.dcpowerinc.com/fit/1999~Acura~TL~3.2L-V6-J32A/13769-180-hp.html
Or should I go with this one with 1650 watts:

If I was running 1650 i'd just do the b3 and get a good battery. I've ran more with less.

I didn't see it mentioned, but what amp are you running?

I have a hifonics brutus 1700 at 1.5 ohm it puts out about 1450 rms and a 150 watt rms 2ch kicker for highs
