This is a great question. I soon will be looking to replace the batteris to run my 4 pumps. I know these are pricy. Any sugestions or info on how these perform?

my buddy had a red top sittin in his garage from when he took it ou of his truck for 6 months and pulled an optima comercial wen he started his cousins truck that had been in storage behind his gargae fpr 3 years he simply hooked up the connectors and the battery which hadnt seen a charge in 6 monthe turned it over on the first try

justin- just curious as to what bad stories youve heard about with optima's?

the biggest complaint was the dont last as long as they should, dont hold charge that long and cant leave them setting very long.I also heard the Optima got bought out by a company that was using different materials to make the batteries cheaper then when optima batteries first came out, I think this just happened in the last year or twonot sure if that true or not just what I had heard

HYDROS,Compressors, Audio, Lighting, anything that needs power KINETIK can do it!

As fas as what product you need for different setups here is the best way to go about that:

HYDROS - use the same ammount that your setup would normally require ( yes you can use less or even smaller but why) this will give you longer play time and more impact to the pump!

Compressors - generally the Viair is about 40A each so this means they need 500W each add them up and that is your total wattage needed to support.

Audio - simple use the wattage rating of the amplifier you are using. If the amp is not one of quality use the fuses on the amps and put them into this equation A x 12.5 = W this will tell you the total wattage that amp should be able to make. then again add them all up and you know the total you need to support.

Vehicle - DONT FORGET THE TRUCK! many times people will replace the factory with a new cell or battery because they are adding audio etc but then they dont even think about the vehicle. The vehicle is designed to work based on its factory alternator and battery alone it cannot make any more power than that. So how do you find out what you truck needs to function. Simple use this equation again Amperage of your alternator x 12.5 = wattage

Now the end result add up the vehicle, the compressors and the amplifier wattage take that total and this is what you need to support.

How do you know what KINETIK product you need ? Easy! the model numbers = Wattage for example the HC1400 is a 1400W model so if you add it all up and the total is lets say 2000W you will need 1 Hc1400 and 1 Hc600 and you are totally supported!!

Sorry to write a book but i figured the knowledge would be helpful!!

No other company but KINETIK even makes a good battery! The Optima's life isn't very long, especially if they sit and you don't have them hooked up to a charger of some sort.
I have a KINETIK in my Roadster with no alternator and it'll run for a whole show starting and stopping, starting again with no problems whatsoever!
I wouldn't recommend any battery but KINETIK!
