    Battery type charge rate ?'s

    Hey all..im looking to get my battery bank together for my surburban. Im looking to run @15.5. So i have to charge at 17v@. Im trying to find out what others are useing and their experiance..good or bad.
    Figure a 4 batt bank is enough..i should have plenty of amperage so i wont need a huge amount of batts.
    Im pretty sure i should run a std battery that has a high Amp hour rating.Can a std battery take charging @ 17v without a meltdown? Im having ext. reg Alts. Cranking amps shouldnt mean much if im correct.
    I know Kinetic is good ... any others ?

    Thanks

    either have a 12 volt system or a 16 volt system . charge 2 volts about that , your done now .

    never go over 2.5 volts over the resting battery volting . for a 12 volt system , no more than 14.5 volts. you will diminish your battery life real fast if you do that . if you want more watts go get a bigger box . if your not doing keydowns i take the 12 volt system charging at 14 volts all day long and kicking ass to .



    marathon are good to .

    i been checking out Deka's new spiral gell battery they have , it looks beefy $500 plus but well worth it . has alot of storage power to .

    Get the kinetic 14v batts and charge at 16.2. Youll be fine. Of you wanna charge at 17, you need to find 1v traction cells and unless u import them from china, you wont find them in the usa. Even numbers only. What ever you set your bank at, 2.2-2.5 volt over max charge or you will rattle your plates all the time and you will kill the batteries quickly. Trust me, my house runs on em. Once a month you can run an equilization on them and rattle em to knock the deposits off of them.

    the thing is with 6's and 8 's you will run into a resistance issue and will not have enough amp currents .

    I was wrong - kinetic only has 12 and 16.. XS has the 14/16's.

    Thanks everyone. I'm going to vent this box. I'm goiPng to look into 14v batts I've used 16v sys on my dragsters. Those xs batts were terrible. They would just die. No warning. Many of the racers running 16v sys had same issue with the16v batt mfgers. Gonna try 14v if I can find them.

    Thanks everyone
