Once Sound kills my Battery what Should I get ? (9N3 TDI)

Post by Legion739 »

So It seems like my battery is on it's way out and I plan to install some decent sound and HID headlights etc. in the near future.
So my battery probably is going to die soon...

When It does what should I buy ?
Kinetik/Stinger and those types of batteries are damn expensive is there an cheaper alternative ?
Some people have said to just get a big as possible battery. something used on SUV's and stuff

Optima or Varta or Kinetic there are many other good brands too
The Varta glass matt batteries start from around R1400-00 Optima from about R2500-00(red top)..
I checked these prices few months back so they could have changed.

Keep in mind there is a variety of options and amperage's available from all the manufactures and you will have to make a decision based on what will suit your application and fitment location.
