I need to replace my stock battery, i am pushing about 1000 watts to a 10"w7 and possibly adding another amp and replacing the 4 corners, i was looking these 2 batteries, the yellow top or the kinetic, is one better then the other? would you suggest one of the other?

kinetik. rule of thumb on those is 100 amps from the battery is equivalent to 100 watts of power. so for example, you running 1000 watts now and since its replacing your under the hood battery (which of course is used for charging everything else in your car) and not adding it to the rear, i would suggest maybe a kinetik 1400. then of course, based on what youre trying to add amp wise down the road, i would put into consideration as well for choosing the size of the battery.

What is the reasoning for this rule of thumb, if anyone knows and has the calculations?

Kinetik 2400: 128aH

100ah per 1kw = Need 240aH for 2.4kw

What are the amplifiers you plan on running? What size is your factory battery? What size is your alt?

What Kinetik Power Cell(s) do I need to purchase?

Kinetik makes choosing a Kinetik Power Cell simple. Our model numbers are equal to the wattage needed for your vehicle. For peak performance and maximum lifespan of all electrical equipment in your vehicle simply add up the total wattage needed for all of your aftermarket equipment including all amplifiers, lights, winches, video and other electronics. The Kinetik Power Cell model number designates the amount of wattage it will be able to run. For example: your aftermarket system includes a 300 watt amplifier, a 200 watt amplifier and 40 watts of additional lighting. You have a total of 540 watts of additional power so you can run this system on a single HC600. If you are replacing your factory starting battery with a Kinetik Power Cell, you should factor in 800 to 1200 watts aproximately to run your factory equipment as well. If your stock alternator is 90 amps your factory electronics use around 1224 watts (90 x 13.6 volts). So adding an aftermarket system of 540 watts to your factory needs of 1224 watts would be 1764 watts of power needed. In this case we would recommend purchasing a single HC1800 or higher. If you plan to purchase additional electronics, you may want to factor them in as well. Remember you can always use more than one Kinetik Power Cell in your vehicle, adding addtional Power Cells at a later time is always an option.

that was just taking a fast look.

i would say after reading the statement below the one i bolded out, to run AT LEAST an 1800 due to the fact of it going under the hood. i thought a 1400 would do the trick (which it still definitely would),but the 1800 is suggested with what you have OP.

i am currently running 1000.1 alpine pdx amp, and if i do add another amp, it will be another alpine pdx, maybe the 150.4 or the 100.4(depending on what i get for the 4 corners.

 

[peterweiner]

put it this way, if you have the cash, snag the 1800. if not, the 1400 will do but i would probably just get the 1800.

 

[kingkung 10+ year member]

would the 1800 fit right into the battery mount? or would i have to do some modification to the mount and tie?

I personally would go with the NGT Extreme batteries from carquest, these are the same as the Deka Intimidator 9a31...GREAT BATTERIES.

now that im unsure of. you would just have to measure your opening for your battery under the hood and find the specs on the 1800 and youll just have to go from there.
