battery question

[talltigeguy]

chpthril, whats your opinion of the kinetik batteries?

I have 3 of them in my boat. I think they are great, but pricey. The only charger that met their specs was the one Kinetik makes, or the Xantrex I bought. They have specific float charge values and such that made finding a charger that fit those specs exactly pretty difficult. For example, the Guest, Promariner and others did not quite fit it. They would be .1 or more volts off...which might not make a difference, but I figured I would stick with what Kinetik said.

yes they are pricey, im looking at 2 hc2400's for the stereo plus one 1400 for the for the engine. the2400's have 130 amp hour rating, that works out good for me during our annual week long powell trip there is alot of horseshoe playing and beer drinking with the stereo on. i've never had a problem with the optima blue tops which are on there 5th season, but i am currently upgrading from 1500 watts to over 5000. thought i might give these kinetiks a try.
