[QUOTE="Simply420, post: 8584255, member: 673398"] Hi all, nice forum yall got here! Anyway, just a couple questions if anyone can help me out. I have a '99 Camry with a standard alternator, battery, and charging system. Big 3 upgrade too. My question concerns my new setup, which is 2 12' Kickers at 1200w. The headlight dimming is real and even the dash lights too. So after doing research about a 2nd AGM battery for the trunk, I thought that would be a great idea. After looking at brands like XS Power, Stinger, and Kinetic, I noticed something right away. They look like standard SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries but are advertised in terms of watts the system is, and how much it can "handle". So I work at a batteries store up in Minnesota and I get awesome discounts there. My question is, what is the main difference between these car audio batteries and regular AGM SLAs? Let's take the following as an example: SHURiKEN SK-BT45 -12v obviosly -45Ah -1250W system rating Duracell DURA12-44C/FR -12v -46Ah -Not rated for wattage. How similar are these two? They are very similar in terms of group size and Ah rating. Any info is greatly appreciated, thanks! [/QUOTE]
