Just some guy
Hi, I'm new to this forum and am just looking for a bit of help/opinions on what I should do for batteries. I ordered the dual battery setup from Bennington, and I am planning on putting in 3 sweet amps to run power to 2 REV8's, 6x xs-650's, and a 12" sub, possibly might add a couple more subs in the years to come. I have 3 amps, 2 Wet Sounds SYN4's, and a SYN1 for the sub. So I am looking at group 27 batteries because I would like to keep them nice like Gerry's setup, I'm ordering the same charger as it seems to be a winner, for batteries I see a lot if people like these Deka Intimidator batteries, I am looking at the 8a27m model, here is a special sheet

They are running $251 a piece here in Canada (I know they are a bit cheaper down south)
But I also saw these in my Canadian Tire flyer, their specs seem better, and I think they are the same as the Northstar battery, (I'm sure there aren't that many manufacturers of batteries so it probably is the same since the specs are identical. It is a Nautilus Pure Lead group 27 battery, here are the specs

They are running $299 right now. What are everyone's thoughts? Oh and I'm thinking AGM batteries just because my outboard only has a 50 amp alternator so the chance is greater that they will get discharged a little more than normal with the stereo going. Oh and before people complain about people being disrespectful with how loud their music is, I'm not that guy, but every once and a while, I like to let her buck!!! Thanks!
