WTK: AC Delco Deep Cycle Batteries. Any good for Music?

[carfreak1024]

I saw a banner the other day with a sign that read"AC Delco Music Batteries Available Here". Then i went somewhere else and saw that they advertising an AC Delco battery with a 95AH capacity.

Just wanna know how these things stack up to let's say an Optima Yellow Top D34/78, a Kinetik HC2000, or a Powermaster d2700 or other batteries like that. Looking to get one for my car? Also how much should i be ready to fork out for something like this. Also would putting this battery in the front or the rear make a difference.

Also is buying this battery instead of buying dynamat a good decision? What kinda gains will i be looking at with both. I mean i just decided i was going to keep and use my JBL BPX2200.1, and use that for bass, and the 2 XM-2002GTR for my mids.

Had a small one but had to replace it recently due to deterioration of the cells so it swelled, but that was a small one. The marine type is powerful and can be recharged from the alt after being depleted (so claimed).

They are good batts but of course you need to match you batt bank to your system.

Interested also in a good battery for the engine bay + to run a lil music

If you need to do work on your electrical system,(hope you have a voltmeter) then a battery over dynamat imo...don't know much about these batteries other than my friend has two of them and it seems to hold out well....i say xs power ftw...unless someone can point out if these batteries can perform better for the price ranges....

well you get 95 ah for 1700tt new. But i am most likely gonna be an alternator upgrade to 300 amps iraggi unit.

Have a red top optima worked well for the first year but the heat from the engine looks like its damaging the cells

i recommend putting optima's at the back being jell based batteries

the AC Delco works well too gonna get me one of those soon

I know it's a 5 month old post but just to clarify for others that may read this.

The optima red top is not intended for this type of application, the yellow top is better suited and recommended.

The optima is not jell based but AGM.

Some info on the different type of batts http://www.windsun.com/Batteries/Batter ... 0Batteries


I recently changed my battery, previously i used several stinger spv44 together, not into loud music anymore so just wanted a decent battery for an everyday driver and for some moderate music, after careful research and checking different brands, specs and prices i opted for an optima yellowtop D34/78 and at $1700 new was a great buy, only con is the 1 year warranty.
