I don't think you could consider this as bashing since they have the test data to prove it. If they made the claim with no data then sure. I like the fact that one company puts its products up against another.. It actually gives us a way to compare products. Just my opinion though..

Sorry but if you have to result to bashing another company to market your product, your marketing sucks horribly.

You don't see Toyota advertising, "GM cars resell value is 1/2 of ours" even tho its true. It's just poor business ethics and something I want no part of. I will never purchase a stinger battery, due to the shoddy ethics this "test" demonstrates.

But why would you trust the data from the company itself if its comparing it to another company? Uhh.... skewed much? Bias? Yeah, I think so.

Now if its an independent source doing the test then I would trust it. At that point I could only imagine a big magazine getting paid off by some of these companies to say X product is better than Y, and then would it really be totally independent?

Apparently they sent the batteries to some testing center, whatever is listed on those tech sheets, but I still could care less. Even if the Kinetik battery did perform worse, it doesn't matter.

This is just like the idiot RD audio reps getting on here and saying there amps are identical to a sundown amp but better. Why try to steal someone elses thunder. AAMP must be hurting for money or losing sales because of kinetik.....

My version of marketing isn't piggybacking on the success of another company, nor is it trying to degrade a company who is just trying to make a buck.

I have 5 SPV70s in the back of my truck right now. They are great batteries but according to that chart, that says there better than the Kinetik HC2400s, I really doubt that. There is no way I have more power than 5 HC2400s in the back of my truck. All though I havent done any tests to prove it, that just doesnt seem possible.

the stinger yellow series are definetely not up to Kinetic

but the red are better i feel

stinger yellow

stinger red > kinetic

I didn't really read the charts, but when i looked at the cartoonish bubble things it said something about how stinger batts deliever the power faster. This is something that has been known for some time. The HC2400 has a higher internal resistance which causes it to be unable to deliver massive amounts of current in a short period. The upside to that I have always thought is that it gives it a larger reserve capacity making it able to work better in a daily setup.

if anyone wants to send me some batteries i'll trickle charge them all for the same period of time and put them on the same battery load tester and we can find out for sure

but yeah who wants to send me batteries haha

geez, is the market that cut-throat these days? I would think its enough consumer money to go around and not have to resort to such tactics

this is the exact same thing i was told, and thats why i think the yellow tops i had were better for me than the 2400's

iirc its the other way around. due to the fact that the odysseys can give these short bursts of current means they serve better for daily driven cars where the ability to discharge massive amounts quickly is needed. the odysseys also have a quicker charge and discharge rate than the HC's so they are able to shell out the current quicker so you wont have dimming lights etc...

This is audio related. Keep it out of my off topic lounge!

hmm, I wonder why stinger called out Kinetik instead of powermaster. just a random thought in my head...
