Battery life expectancy
nope, I have 3 things in the way, oil filter (big mopar), Enderle fuel pump and a vacuum pump.


Without data, you’re just another guy with an opinion.

You use this as a starter battery?


Yes, for the last 3 years. the roadster doesn't have a alternator (no room). Just a note this battery is 1.5 inches taller then the d1600.


Do you run everything off the 16v side? Or do you use the 12v side too?


In greed we trust...So where's my money at?

Everything is 16v, my stuff doesn't draw a lot of current when running. MSD 7-8 amps, water pump 12 amps and the transbrake about 8 amps.

I am less than impressed with XS Power batteries as discussed in another thread.

With that said I usually keep my batteries on a trickle charger at home and run an alternator when I can.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.

I have a XS D1200 in my car going on 4 years. Also used Odyssey 1200s that lasted many years too.
