Upgrading battery
So i've been researching for a while now for a new battery since i have a sound system in my car and plan on upgrading it a bit further. I'm wondering if any of you guys have any xs power batteries or odyssey and if so which model? Unfortunately xs doesn't have an exact fit for our cars.

A high output alternator is what you want.

Those can get pricy lol haven’t really Looked into them but seen some For different cars though. I’m currently leaning towards a xs power d6500 since it seems it is the reccomended one with some mods to fit my car.

How much power you running? Anything over 1k-1500 rms and your going to need a bigger alt. If under that replace the stock with what ever from xs that will fit plus like a xs750 or something. If you haven't done so do yourself a favor and run some 0/1 from the alt to the battery, chassis ground, and battery ground. I always use welding cable as it's much cheaper, more flexible, more weather resistant than stereo cable.

Just get a few banks of supercaps
I don't think the D6500 is going to work. Polarity is on the wrong side unless there is enough slack to stretch the wiring. The D4800 seem like a better fit but lower specs or D3400R. Last edited by oslouie; 06-14-2018 at 06:15 PM. |
