Car Audio Batteries


If extended engine off listening is desired then a second battery can be useful. Keep in mind that this will put a greater strain on your charging system as well as add several hundred dollars for a second battery, dual battery isolator, and installation charges. If you are having problems with your charging system then you might need a new or larger alternator. Have it checked out by a qualified technician.
Features and terms that may be encountered with regard to wiring are:

Butt Terminals: This type of terminal resembles a long barrel and is used to connect small gauge wires together. These type are crimp terminals and considered less desirable than soldering when soldering is an option. These terminals are also sometimes referred to as crimp connectors though that term can apply to many variations of crimp terminal.

Deep Cycle: A battery usually reserved for marine use that can be drained and replenished many times. While popular years ago many installers have relegated this battery to system use only with a traditional car battery for main power.

Farad (F): The base unit of measure for capacitor storage. One farad is very larger and is equivalent to one million microfarads (uF).

Gauge: This refers to the diameter of the wire. The smaller the number, the larger the wire. Sixteen is common for speaker wire, eight is common for average size amplifiers, while four gauge and below is used for large amplifiers. For reference, four gauge wire is about the same diameter as the average male pinky finger.

Gel Cell: A type of battery that uses a gel type acid. These batteries can be desirable because they may be mounted upside down without the danger a standard type battery would pose.

Heat Shrink Tubing: A type of insulating plastic that resembles a drinking straw. A small portion of this tube is cut off and placed on a wire before soldering. After the connection is soldered and cooled, the tube is slid over the joint and shrunk around the wires by means of a heat gun or hot hair dryer.

Microfarads (uF): The more common unit used to measure capacitor storage. One million microfarads is equivalent to one Farad.

OFC: An abbreviation for oxygen free copper. This is the most desirable wire to buy and there is really no reason to buy any other kind. As the name implies it is pure copper that is free from oxygen impurities.

Spade Terminals: A type of terminal used on most speakers. The type found on speakers are male spades while the ones used to connect to these terminals are female spades. These terminals are also referred to as quick disconnects though this name can apply to many different types of terminals that come apart quickly.

Voltage Rating: Referring to the amount of voltage a capacitor is rated to handle. The very least a capacitor used for reinforcement should be rated at is 16 volts while 20 volts is much more desirable and available on the slightly more expensive capacitors.

lg srnok..kna pkr mnyk ja..

wakakakakakakakaaka...steady jak ba bro...heheheheeheh

mmg steady ja bha nie bro..hihi..bro,batt apa yg bgs utk gnti batt standet kenari?sbb my bro pnya sound drop o karan dia.alternator kra mau tkr uda pas 2 mau tkr 2 batt stndet ja..pa komen bro?

yokohama sel kering...atau ada satu jenis tu yang kering juga.....mahal sikit jak tu dari batt besa bro....

owh..klu kinetic 2 brapa 2 bro?

kalo kinetik,ble cri d kedai S.S Auto..size 60 amp RM1200 ke atas......

wui,mhal jga oo..hihi.

mcm ku tau info itu tau... hehehe

dr mna info 2 bro hustle?hihi..

mcm dr taiko kotiak... tp tak pa... besa la kt ingat mengingat...

owh..mna bgs 2 bateri kinetik or optima?bro kotiak pn pkai 2 optima kn..hihi.

kalu aku tatap pilih stinger...hehehe men 1 set bateri ngan altenator stinger...

itu stinger brapa hrga?cnfrm mhal jga kn mcm altrnatornya 2..

inda aku mo kc tau kau... nnt ko beli plak...

pki 2 bateri je seng..hehe

2 bateri kalu men lma, sma jg... silap2 hangkang altenator ko.. beban ba tu cas 2 bj bateri...

aha..bgea kau..nyiak ngini..tilau aku ta guru..hihi.

upredlah alterntr pmi 120a...bru kaw2 karen

pas upgred altrnator,tmbh bateri lg..

alalala... kalu setakat upgrde g 120amp sanang ba... hehehe... kalu kmi yg pki keta kecik ni, mna muat... pki 90amp pun ckp ba...

tp mhal oo 2 120amp pnya altrnator..

mna da... tu la nda mo cr d kadai potong... ni kmu srh order dr kadai snd... mmng la dorg kc nek hrg...

kt ah ming sna kk 2 pn mhal jga oo..kdai ptong uda 2.

apa plak ah ming, deras kini j ba... murah lg..

bha nnt lh cek2 p sna coz abg sy on mau tkr altrnator uda 2..
