hello guys .. im having a huge battery problem i have change batteries twice withing this year, and for some reason the batteries keep dieing on me, and i dont know why ,
here is my setup,
2 woofers of 250 watts each . both sony
2 amps 1 of 800 watts and the other 900 watts both kenwood
door speakers of 350 each and the ones in the back are factory speakers from an Hyundai accent .. :S
crappy sony radio and kennwood equalizer
big 3
thats it ... and both batteries that a have purchased had 620 amp .. it should handle that setup just fine right .. ?
problems :
cant leave the car off for more than 3 days otherwise the batter dies ..
cant sound with the car off for more than 30 minutes ..
and if any of those things happen .. the i start having problems at start as im having right know .. i recharged the battery already and everything and works for like a week just to start the car then aftera week it dies as it just happened
help please why is this happening ?
could be your alternator not charging the battery well....or maybe try a deep cycle battery...(optima yellow top) or something like that
the alt . charge .. but noticed that it charges kind of slow .. dunno if is because the bat is just not working properly anymore .. yet i have not tried those red neither yellow top bats .. do you guys think that, this will be the solution to this?
thanks
get your battery load tested, and check for a parasitic drain.

i was told to check on this .. before purchasing any other battery first .. so thats what ill do .
thanks to all
could you guys tell me the difference between the red and yellow tops optimas...
thanks
red top is a starting only battery. yellow top is a dual purpose, deep cycle and starting battery.
