yeah im running it on dcwake also......feel free to spread the word around, i think im going to extend it a week.
Still working out dtails of shipping, but right now I think I'm going to put in the order, then have you guys pay....shipping might even be included in price!!!!!

thanks everyone for participating in this, hopefully this is just the first of may group buys i am going to be running.

I think this quote is way off dcsnow. Check out the specs.... they don't even come close to the majority of the 6V's on the market. The majority of us w/ major power sucking systems have concluded that the Trojan T-105 or in my case the T-145, are pretty much the best option.

How can a 6v battery play for 530 minutes and 12v batteries only play for 200 minutes????????????

The numbers from Trojan's site don't make a lot of sense to me?? <scratching head>

Jason,

Your thinking of the voltage as the item being the determining factor that gives more capacity... Don't.

Even two 12V's paralleled will generally give less capacity than a relative seriesed pair of 6V's.... due to the lead plates. There has been talks of the Peukert effect offering a nod to the paralleled system, but this does not play out in real world observations. Mainly due once again to the size of the plates.

I run all Kinetik batteries.

They are low esr so not as hard on your alternator and they have a ton of amp hours. So you can play the system for a long time without draining them.

These battery discussions can be maddening!

All reasonable people with good ideas who arrive at opposite conclusions. Then Tanner breaks out talk of the Peukert effect to further cause my hair to fall out.

I run all Kinetik batteries. I have 4 of the 2400 and 2 of the 2000 just for the stereo and 2 of the on board chargers/power supply. (2 factory for the boat too)

I have used all types in the past and can tell you the Kinetiks are by far the best on the market.

I have to agree with TIM on this guys. The 12V battery will save your altenator. With out going into the long explaination of why TIM has said it best. The best way to go if you can muster the cash is the KINETIK.

Are you sure it wasn't for other reasons?

I would like to understand more about why these batteries are so much better. I've learned that most premium marine batteries don't last as long as the ones from Walmart, so I stopped buying them.

Dogbert, it is the cell technology they have used AGM is a Absorbed Glass Map cell battery. Then to boot on top of that they have more cells than the average battery allowing for higher peak performance. If I get time today I will post up all the technical differences if you really want me to but that is a big if I get the time. I am preparing for our National meeting that starts tomorrow.

[dogbert]

No worries, I was just curious, and, unlike tall, won't lose my hair over it

Take your time.
