P1000 2nd battery sizes

[Robobrainiac]

Is anyone using a 2nd battery under the seat? What sizes is everyone using for under the seat or under the hood?

This one will work under the hood. Mine is still working after 3 years of use. I've got another one in a different machine that's been working for 2 years now. My friend has had his for 2 years now and it's still working. Idk anything about under the seat battery.

What….you didnt like the one for under the hood i gave you a link too? 🤨 😂

The Mighty max
Is the same as the One i gave u a link to. I had one of those and it failed quickly. Not to say its a bad battery maybe bad out of the box, just what happend to me thats why I went with the Odessy and its been 6 yrs.

LOL I liked the one you sent me but if I could get something under the seat that might last longer playing music while the machine is off then that would be sweet. I am not inclined enough to know if there is such a thing as a battery that's too big.

You could always put a flexible PV panel on the roof and do your music in the sun.

So I guess a small wind generator is out of the question?

BTW that battery is actually a big battery. Check the demotions

So I did some math crunching and if I turn the subwoofer off and listen to just the radio while the machine is off the Walmart battery should last 10 hours and 6 minutes, the odyssey battery should last 2 hours and 48 minutes, and mighty max battery should last 2 hours. This is assuming the radio is pulling 10 amps which in theory I don't think it can because that is the maximum amperage of the fuse. Does this sound correct?

Figuratively lol.
Ive had my Odyssey on with the stereo blasting, amp, sub and whips for 6hrs a few times the way your describing and was still at 11amps according to my meeter. I also have a blue seas cut off switch that i highly recommend and set it for 10.5 amps to cut the power. A battery starts to head in to permanent damage zone at 10amps.

But yes, a deep cell under the seat will kick some arce for sure. I needed that space for a heater so it wasn't an option

Do you know by chance which switch you are using? When I Google the blue sea switches all I see are manual battery switches.

This battery is a beast and made in the USA. Yuasa makes about all rebranded powersport's batteries.
Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

That particular battery is rated in CCA (cold cranking amps). Thus it has thin plates to maximize high current for 15 seconds for engine starting. Most want a thicker plate "deep discharge" type battery for their aux or secondary battery. They are most often rated in amp hours.

 

[Dirtstiffs-1000]

It's rated at 32 Amp Hour
Been my 2nd battery for 3 years. Powers all my accessories including my 6000# winch at full pull and jump started the dead wheeler after the pull as well.
YMMV

Just asking in again from another thread I have so I can reach all of my audiences

Do I need a stinger to totally isolate the auxillary battery from the main battery or does the TrueAM do that for me?



Like if I wanted to listen to the tunes and run the aux battery down while the machine is off and still have the main battery to start the machine.

I just put a 2nd factory in

The isolator works fine for me

I have another question. Should I use 4 AWG or 6 AWG wire to go from the TrueAM that will be under the hood to the battery under the driver seat?
