Hows it going....question?.....i have a duralast 8 amp charger/maintainer for standard or AGM 12v batteries....you think i can use it to charge an xs power d3400? Thanks in advance
I'm going to upgrade my 1 battery to 2 batteries with a battery isolator on my 2003 Silverado, and I was looking at getting 2 Duracell platinum AGM batteries, do you think that would be sufficient for a 3400 watt system, and how's your set-up holding up. I'm asking because there's lots of video on xspower, kinetik, and Northstar battery. Or should go with one of them
Taramps actually makes something like that. It plugs into a wall socket so you can play with your ignition off and it will charge the batteries while playing .
I was wondering generally speaking say a 5.1 Alpine amplifier fused at 80 amps was connected to say one the best stinger batteries isolated fully charged for how long would it power the amplifier, on a good day.? Thanks. Say it states 2250 ca
Rashad Razaq you would have to look at amp hour rating on the battery ; but if it’s being charged up , it should run all day . That amp is putting out about 800 watts .
I would get some toolmaker adapters or some ferrals or something on those amp power wires man. Shit looks stressed going in at that type of angle. I use stinger adapters on all my stuff now and I wonder how the hell I ever did with out them now. So much easier and safer. Plus if done right it conducts power better
@@EARDRUMASSASSIN Found one on the 4xspower site. Should I get the 12v or 14v? I got a 5000 watt rms system.. I am looking into a 370 amp alternator by Mechman (1) XS under hood (1) XS D7500 in the rear. Got a 4500.1 SKAR amp and a 1000 watt rms SKAR 4 channel. Is the electrical good enough to power those amps?
Check you connections on the sub and see if it moves freely without any noise . Even if your amp turns on it doesn’t mean it has power going to the sub .
@@EARDRUMASSASSIN I left them to together but charged separately until each hit maintenance charging and my voltage is solid again. Can't believe they lost a few points over just a few weeks. With my new system.
No . All types of batteries need to be charged periodically. Going on long rides without the stereo playing can help charge em up and requires less charging from an actual 🔌 charger.
@@EARDRUMASSASSIN awesome. I was thinking about that kinetic hc blue 3800 power cell battery to power my audio system but didn't know if I needed to charge it daily or what. I'm knew to car audio.
Depending how much draw you have on the battery really determines how often to charge it. If your amp is drawing more current than your alt can handle, you’ll be breaking out the charger more often.
Hey man. Have you ever had any problems with them discharging on there own? Like ground only connected. Disconnect the primary power wire from the fuses like you did in the in the beginning of the video. Well mines are slowly discharging on there own. Any guesses? Bad ground ? Bad batteries?
I actually got this at Walmart . It’s a smart charger . Allows you to select types of batteries and a 3amp or 15 amp charge rate . Works pretty well for the low end price .
Yeah definitely a great little charger to have around, I picked up a similar style from the same brand mine is probably just the new model. They are great charger since I use them for everything everything from standard lead acid car batteries to motorcycle/atv batteries to my stereo batteries I have a much larger charger but it’s not very convenient to lug around and it only does standard lead acid so I use this one a lot more
Greetings: So I am trying 2 imagine this connection diagram. A few possibilities. 1) The underhood batteries isolated from the AGMs in the rear? If so, how? That said the AGMs do not get charged by the alternator? 2) All batteries R in constant parallel? That said the AGMs R charged by the alternator and underhood batteries? If so Y the 0AWG wire from a (stock?) Alternator? No disrespect. I can make my point after replied explanation(s).
Xs power literally sais it must be charged with 14.4 volts 2. Something per cell blah blah blah and if u under charge with voltage its no good either im confused af now they literally make it to were u can only charge the battery with thier charger
carlos brown the group 31 doesn't fit in the factory location without modding the tray . It may fit inside your car but g34 is factory size in a GM truck
@@EARDRUMASSASSIN You know what would be really cool - is if there was a charging system that was completely integrated, and all you'd need to do was plug it into the vehicle somehow - something like a defrost heater type thing
I have the same charger will it work for my xs power 3000 battery?
Hows it going....question?.....i have a duralast 8 amp charger/maintainer for standard or AGM 12v batteries....you think i can use it to charge an xs power d3400? Thanks in advance
That should work just fine if it’s made for agm batteries.

Bless Baby I personally love north star batteries .
CAN YOU PLUG THE CHARGER INTO A INVERTER, TO KEEP THE BATTERIES CHARGED WHILE PLAYING
Taramps actually makes something like that. It plugs into a wall socket so you can play with your ignition off and it will charge the batteries while playing .
@@EARDRUMASSASSIN UM TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO CHARGE BY PLUGGING THE CHARGER INTO THE INVERTER
You might be able to do that but I don’t think inverters are strong enough to handle that type of draw? My charger pulls like 1500 watts at 15amps.
@@BLACKRAIN390 Good luck on that. Let us in on the new invention resulting from U changing the laws of physics.
@@EARDRUMASSASSIN How much is "like 1500 watts"?
🔴How often should i charge my xs power agm battery for my car audio system
I would throw it on the charger once or twice a month.
So you have to disconnect the positive side before charging?
I got a kicker 800.1 for my GMC Sierra 1500.do i need to upgrade my alternator or battery?
An agm battery would be a good upgrade.
Why would you need to charge the batterys? Doesn't the alternator charge them up?
The alternator will maintain a battery but doesn’t keep it fully charged. You charge the batteries to keep them topped off.
@@EARDRUMASSASSIN how often do you think you need to charge them?
It really depends on how big your battery bank is, how strong your alternator is, and how much current you are drawing while playing your system.
bro I'm running three on parell do connect amp to the last battery or the first and third
Cool nice setup where did you purchase them and how much I see Sam's club have them for 119.00 right
carlos brown sams club is where I got it . I don't remember exactly how much it was . 119 seems low for it though .

Casey Cross I already have 8 sets of dual 2/0 inputs. four copper four aluminum .
What brand and model number is that charger?
Schumacher xcs15w . Not sure if this model is still being manufactured but they do have new ones of this brand .
@@EARDRUMASSASSIN alright thanks 👌
How often should I charge batteries? I am looking into 1 xs power under hood and 1 d7500 at the back.
Once a month maintenance charge is fine .
@@EARDRUMASSASSIN Okay great thanks!
Make sure to use a smart charger . If the batteries are agm you need an agm charger or one w options to pick type of battery .

Do they need to be charged separately?
No but they fully charge faster if separated . Charging a big battery bank takes forever .
My subs stop working do I need to charge my second battery everything else works
Check you connections on the sub and see if it moves freely without any noise . Even if your amp turns on it doesn’t mean it has power going to the sub .

not god crossing those wires over the battery without a fuse
Is there any other car audio batteries that you don't have to charge. That's ridiculous charging up batteries. WTF 😒😒

Why dont u charge them together jw
Chino Perez it takes too long to fully charge the bank up so you do it separately.
dc to dc charger
Ok I was looking at the marine and rv deep cycle g34 I need the automotive g34 it's 129.00 I need it for my 90 Cadillac brougham limousine
carlos brown I personally love the higher end Duracell batteries .
Hey man. Have you ever had any problems with them discharging on there own?
Like ground only connected. Disconnect the primary power wire from the fuses like you did in the in the beginning of the video.
Well mines are slowly discharging on there own. Any guesses?
Bad ground ?
Bad batteries?
Sounds like the batteries are bad . If they aren’t holding a charge they probably have bad cells .
What is "like ground only connected"?

They have another group 34 for 168 but it has the same cranking amps as the other but has a longer warranty
Where did you get that battery charger?
K Vang Walmart
Nice setup which Duracell agm battery is that
carlos brown group 34 .
The g31 is to big for under the hood its 170
carlos brown the group 31 doesn't fit in the factory location without modding the tray . It may fit inside your car but g34 is factory size in a GM truck
Wow what a pain in the ass - I could never
Smalltimer it’s really not that bad . Takes longer to charge a bank than it does a single battery .
