whats so special about kinetic batts?

i dont know shit about batteries so what is the difference between all those and the optima yellow top type batts? and which would be better?
There are many different types of batteries out there. Yellow Top batteries are thin plate cells that are good for short peak bursts of power, but generally speaking will have a short run time and a very short product life when used in a deep cycle application.

PowerMaster and BatCap batteries claim to have thinner plates as well, which equate to higher burst outputs. However, I think some models are thicker than Optima batteries. Some BatCap models are a capacitor and battery in one unit. These are going to be god for the guy who is less worried about durability.

Kinetik, Deka, Hawker, and some others seem to all use a thicker plate. This would lead to lower burst rates, but will dramatically increase product lifespan and runtime. These are going to be more popular for the guy who is looking for a durable product.

 
My car battery died recently. Couldnt hold a charge for more than a few days tops. I also had dimming issues when driving around.

I recently went to autozone and bought a duralast gold batt. Seems pretty decent, warrantied for several years. Also fixed my dimming issues. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

For now anyway. Don't ever run the audio with the car off with that type of battery. Also, if you run a big system on a small alt, don't jam out too loud. You will for sure deep cycle a battery like that in no time. Just a few deep cycles will kill a battery like that and that will not be covered under warranty.

 
Kinetik users have also won at every level in car audio competition in every major org, be it SPL, Bass Race/Street Beat and Sound Quality in local, regional, national and world events. Year in and out they win more than their fair share of trophies.

I would also venture to say between Rich and Erik at kinetik they have helped and serviced more world champions than just about anyone in the car audio power cell business by a wide margin.
