not sure where to post this so i just put this in here. now i got my I/H/E done i'm looking into cutting down some weight. when i was installing the intake i took out the factory battery and notice it's quiet heavy. i saw some online for around $100 weight about 10lbs but not sure is it right for me. i'm not really plan on doing anything w/the audio going to keep it untouch for now. i see some people using Kinetek but dont know is it good for a daily driver.

 

these 2 are the one i'm looking at

which one would be a better option for me w/stock sound system thanx in advance for any info being provided

 

Definitely the bigger (KHC800 950A) one. You can never have too many cold cranking amps. That's a good price too, I'd jump on it.

 

i forgot to mention that i'm planning replacing the stock battery w/ one of these. would that be a good idea?

 

I don't see how it could hurt. You're getting a battery with more capacity and it's lighter.

 

IIRC, the Kinetik's amperage rating is short circuit amperage, not any type of cranking amps. They're great batteries, I actually have an extra battery which is a HC1800 model, just for my stereo.

You could look into Powermaster's line, but I still think they're rather heavy. There's companies that make batteries for light weight purposes. Kinetik's more targeted towards car audio.

 

thanx how about the kinetik racing line. i google it and found a flyer that they are coming out with the racing line wonder where i can find one?

 

I think it is out. They had some of the batteries at SEMA last year. But then again, I have not seen them or heard of any yet. I will ask them since they are one of my sponsors.

 

I had an RSX running a tiny Oddysey battery for years (well 2 years) with no issues.. I want one for my box too

 

what model is the oddysey battery?

 

this one:

i see that they have 4 different model, pc680, pc680mj, pc680t, pc680mjt.
what is the difference between them?
is the one w/metal jacket more suitable to install it in the engine bay because it can withstand high temp?
where can i get it cheap?
thank you for all the info that you have provided it's very helpful and i appreciate you opinions thanx again
