Kinetik Hc1800 Blu Monster

This is a must have for any car audio install lacking power to back it up. The unit fit in the stock driver side location of a 2001 Chevy Suburban 1500 with only a slight mod to the battery tray block. Since installed I have not had any issues with early morning start ups or fears of music playing while engine off. I was a bit skeptical about a car audio battery replacing my starter battery but rest assured this thing got the juice!!!! aMz.

Awesome

I've had this in my truck for the past 3 years and its still running strong. I have 2000W of mmats and Rockford Fosgate amps running off of this and theres barely any dimming even with an 80amp alternator.

Great battery does what I want it too!

Kinetik never seems to let me down! Can't wait to get another!

This is an excellent battery. I have an 04 silverado single cab. I have 2 amps. One is a hedonic Brutus BRX 1600.1D and the other is a power acoustic PS800. The Brutus is drawing 1200 rms amps @ 2 ohms and the PA is drawing 150 rms amps x 2. No more light dimming and volts do not go below 13.7. Thats not bad considering I have the factory alternator that puts out 105 amps. No cons. Thanks again Sonic

KHC1800

Good Good Good I wish i could find in Canada.

This thing is a beast. I have an 04 silverado single cab with a factory 1025 amp alternator. I have 2 amps hooked up, a power acoustic ps800 and a Hispanics BRX1600.1D. The brutus is pulling 1200 rms amps @ 2 ohms and the PA is pulling 150 rms x 2 @ 4 ohms and my volts do not go lower than 13.5. My lights do not fluctuate any more. The battery along with the big 3 upgrade I had already done solved all my voltage problems. I would definately recommend this battery. No cons at all. Thanks again Sonic

Great quality, dependable and great price

This is my 3rd kenetic battery i own the HC-600,HC-1200 and now the HC-1800. The 1800 replaced my 1200 as my vehicles starting batterry and i removed the 600 from under the back seat of my tahoe and put the 1200 in its place. I just decided to upgrade to the 1800 nothing was wrong with my 1200. The 1200 was my starter battery for 4 years and not once did it need to be jumped, even when my tahoe sat for a couple weeks whe out of town. I got home and it fired right up. The 600 infact started my tahoe i did that as a test for the heck of it. Now i have room for up to 3000 watts if i felt like it. The 1800 had just enough clearance to fit in the factory battery space when i shut the hood this batterry is big and has to be 60lbs. I love the quality and price of these batteries and not once have they failed me. I reccomend kinetic to anyone looking for longevity and dependability at a fair price.

Awesome!!

I would highly recommend this product to anyone and everyone that has a system! I love it! Kept my voltage up and no more dimming of my lights. Great product, Thanks Sonic!

Bamf

This battery is massive. Weight is like 50lbs. Works even harder when cold. Volt gauge starts out @ like 15 volts. Awesome battery and complements the big three wire kit.

Great battery

So far so good lights don’t dim at all also running a batt isolator with it and not an issue yet

Kinetik battery

This is my 4th Kinetik battery , very good with my 2100 watt system , only problem is it is not cannot to be recharged if it goes dead , ( my wife left the dome light on in the car overnight )

Worth every..single..penny.

First, let me just say I have upgraded all the electrical components in my car. I have a mechman 240 amp alternator and a NVX 0 gauge big 3 wiring kit. So my electrical system can keep this battery charged pretty well. I was sitting in my car on lunch one day just listening to music while eating. I have a Hifonics 1200 and a Kenwood 800 watt 5 channel. I didn't realize that 45 mins had gone by and I had the volume up about half way. I turned my car on with no problems at all. 45 minutes straight running 2 true watt amplifiers with my car off and no issues at all. I will never get another battery from another company again. The only "con" I can think of is that it's a hefty battery. I read on this site near the bottom of the product's page that it was about 50 pounds but I didn't register how big it was until it arrived at my door. so I might be a little bigger than some people have the space for under the hood. But luckily batteries are offered in different sizes. Other than that this battery is worth every single penny.

Kinetic 1800

I got fosgate 1000-1 and 400-4 using all 1000 rms for sub and about 360 rms for other amp. I have a 2013 fusion which is canbus and has a computer controlled alternator. So before battery it was horrible playing a full volume as it would make idling ruff and subwoofer would cut out. Now with battery no more subwoofer cutting out and minimal idle bounce. If I can re do it I would try the 2400 even though 1800 recommended for what I have but it does not consider the type of car I have. Bass sounds louder than before. One issue are the post run small in diameter making it do difficult to use the basic connections I had so would be purchasing some new ones as they are slipping off.

Great for Jeeps Too

running this in the trunk of my cherokee (it fits right in the cubby hole on the right side with a little cutting of plastic.) with 2/0 wire to the front. i have a variety of amps totally of about 1900w rms. this thing fires up the old 4.0L without dropping below 11 volts under cranking. i had this in my last car as well, and had a newbie mistake... dropped a ground upgrade wire on the positive terminal, in which is promptly destroyed. These batteries are crazy even compared to the yellow top i had before it. floating voltage typically sits around 12.5 - 12.7 without engine running or anything turned on.

the only thing i dont like about this are the screw in terminals. no matter how hard i try, when tightening them down, they still move after. they loosen way too easily. i havent stripped them out, they just still turn after the bolt is tight.

Killer Kinetik

I ordered two of these to upgrade and replace an Optima Yellow Top an add one to the trunk, immediatly after swapping just the front battery I did not experience fading of my lights or sound performance. With addition of second battery it's not a question to the stability of the power supply. Over 2X the output for the same price i paid for my yellow top, a must have.

great battery

first off let me start by saying sonic is amazing they shipped it super fast and there tech support is awsome. this battery helped alot no more dimming lights. dome and head lights i allso noticed a differance in my car audio bass seems to hit harder now. only running 1000 watts rms this battery does the trick. 1 12" alpine type r sub @ 2 ohm and a mrd-m1000 amp @ 2 ohm load

Awesome Battery!

Very pleased with this battery,I had to do some modification to install it in my toyota tacoma ,But it was worth it.I really do recommend this battery.

beast!!

Its holding up right now but theres more to come love it!!

Boss

Work great in warm weather even better in cold disapates heat gets hot but excellent power source!!!!

Great Battery

This battery can handle lots of workload without problem. I have two 1,000 watt kicker amps going to this. This battery is recommended!! Plus it is hard to beat Sonic Electronix prices!!

Power House!

These Batteries are awesome! Very powerful.. I have only 5 Of them. And my systems wattage is over 6000. These batteries handle it with no problem at all.

No good

The kinetik HC1800. Okay first, I have a 12" rockford fosgate T2, thing is a beast for my lows. It's running off my Hifonics BRX 2400 rms, the sub is rated at 1200 Rms but I'm getting another one so I needed the bigger amp, an I have kenwood 6x9s and 5 1/4s and tweeters installed, and a kenwood headunit, and I'm running about 1600 rms watts, and of course my headlights would dim, so I looked igo replacing the battery, I went with the 1800 because it was the biggest that would fit under the hood of my 2005 honda accord V6, I thought 1800 would be plenty before I got the second sub an I thought it would stop my headlights from dimming.. I was wrong, if anything the stock battery made my headlights dim less... Idk why? Cuz I did the big 3, idk but I wouldn't recommend

powerhouse!

My 2nd in car, w/high amp alternator, total 3300 amps full volume.......very slight dimming, but WOW IT/THEY DELIVER what you need.

This battery is huge

I can't hook it up to my 2001 Monte Carlo ss under the hood because it to big. I put it in my girl truck to see how good it worked and her truck performs better. I'm going to get a smaller one for under the hood and put the HC1800 in the trunk. Great battery would recommend this product.

read up if you are thinking about buying this

well pros about this.
this battery fits my suv's stock spot and is about 5 pounds lighter then the stock one I had for a starter battery.
in -15C and with lights on for 8 hours (was by mistake because of my dad using my suv and left them on) it was still on 12V "12.08 and when I turned it on went right back up to 14.2V. overall this battery i use is for my sound system. and from a reading of 11.25 on stock battery now working at 12.8V to 13.9 when playing loud bass music. overall best dollar i payed for. best thing is the music sounds 2x better now its in.

cons: had to install it my self lols jk really don't see no problem with this battery at all. had this for about 1 month

kinetic HC 1800

You cannot find a better battery for the bread, and free shipping to boot. I'm using as a cell to store solar power for emergency use. seems to work well with only 1 100watt panel in a poor location. should be much better after I hook up and relocate my 2 panels.

Sleek looking battery

This battery I got in today looks way better than the pic on web site! Very pleased! It's gonna look awesome with my 0/1 big 3 upgrade, with all blue wires.

Kinetik 1800!

This battery was bigger than expected which was not a problem in my case. Definitely does the job and keeps the voltage up. I personally use thus battery for under the hood but would be a great battery for someone who needs that extra juice. The price is very affordable and as I can see it's been dropping! Great product currently run 3 kinetiks and have great voltage.

The Best!

This battery cranks my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 with ease. I had to replace some smaller high performance batteries so I chose the HC1800. I had heard wonderful things about it. I am very pleased.

It weighs a ton!!!!

KHC1800 good buy

Love this for my trunk battery upgraded from the KHC800 stopped my lights from dimming and gave me more kick. Running 4 pioneer tsw307d2 at 1ohm load push by hifonics brutus elite 1700. Had to turn my amp down when I added this cell

great difference in power

I had a standard battery in my 04 civic with the big 3 upgrade but could not stay above 12v with hardly pushing my sub now with this battery I cab stay between 12v and 13v and push my sub much harder

batteries

amazing batteries they push the power needed for everything, get an alternator and BIG three upgrade and no problems will be found

Beautiful Battery

This battery is awesome running my Sundown E Version 2 series subwoofers on a power hungry Memphis 16-Mcd1000D amplifier and it is keeping my voltage level from dropping greatly! I love this battery and definitely will keep purchasing Kinetik batteries!

Pure power!

This will certainly give you the power you NEED, so don't be afraid!

Perfect for my Audio and Vehicle

Easily powering 700W RMS and not a problem with head lights and hitting my low bass notes even with the engine off.

Awesome power

I bought this batt. because my sound system would drop my voltage down to 11 with my stock battery. I have yet to see less than 12.3v after installing this along side my stock one. It is quite heavy, but that's to be expected. I love the thing and now have great peace of mind regarding my charging system.

great battery

Used to replace my stock battery, has plenty of power, only con is I had to make terminals to convert to side post.

Solid performance, good product

I bought and installed this battery about 6 months ago and I haven't had any problems with it. It's one of those products where you don't think about it until it causes you issues. I also have a smaller stinger battery in my trunk that this connects to - I'm 'overpowering' my system just to keep it performing at peak performance so my usage may not be typical but I thought I'd submit a review anyway.

grate deals

Great prices good service will be sure to shop here again.

Wonderful Power

I would recommend this battery. Because it is freakin powerful and I have 3 of them.. they are crazy...

"THE" battery

I put high output alternator (Power Bastard) and needed to upgrade battery. Bought the Kinetik after doing a lot of studying a lot of different types and makes. Decided on this and it runs my entire system with no glitches.
Pro: Powerful/does what it is designed for/Easy to install/buy Kinetik posts that are not included, makes connection for big three upgrade a lot easier.
Con: Posts don't come with battery.
I would totally recommend this battery!

Kinetic 1800

Best Battery I've ever purchased.

Amazing Battery

This battery made an instant different. Forget a power cap. I have a solo x 2,500 rms kicker with a mono 2,500 rms zx kicker amp. It needed more power. This battery made a big different. but I need 1 more. This works way better than the optima battery believe me!!!

Power House Battery

I am using this battery with no capacitors. Pushing 1200 watts total with 4 gauge wire. Plenty of long time play and absolutely no dimming of lights or drop in voltage. I highly recommend this battery.

Great product

Have had over 6 months still holds a charge like the same day I got it! No dimming and plenty of power fits in stock 05 z71 location with slight modification.

great battery

These work great they last long and give me the power I need.... I'm wanting to change out my optima yellow top under my hood for this...it actually fits perfect except terminals are a little far away but you can stretch the wires to make it work.

Amazingly powerful suckers

I have 8 of these in my dodge ram for 4 powerbass xta's pushing 4 15" re audio xxx Sub's and 2 powerbass xta 4 channels pushing 8 fosgate t1 5 1/4" components and it rocks! The lights NEVER dim even when I'm blaring it! It does help that I have 3 high output alternators and 8 batteries but still these batteries are amazing and powerful as all get out! Great buy, worth every penny!

Nice and solid

I bought this battery to replace my Ever Start battery, and I'm glad I did the Big 3 upgrade before this came in cuz I shorted out the original and its now a Never Start. But this battery fit snug in my Jeep Cherokee and after everything was hooked up the Jeep seemed to idle quieter. Anyway great battery, only complaint is that they don't send battery POSTS, they send little hex bolts. So if you plan on getting battery terminals for this battery like I did, don't, get ring terminals.

kinetik

this is one of best I have one had I got 3 of these with 2 18 fi btl's and 2 hifonics brutus 2400.... good

Good Batts

I run 8 of these in my explorer on my american bass 500.1. My voltage barely drops at all on my 230 amp alternator.

Powerful Battery

I purchased this battery to replace a generic lead acid battery. It solved all the problems that I had with my old battery. I currently run 4 amps totaling about 1300 watts RMS and a carputer. I rarely ever turn it up all the way but I have sat in the car and watched an entire movie and still had enough juice to crank the car. I love this battery. My next battery will be a Kinetik.

Lots of power

Bought this for my Hifonics BRZ-2400, great buy more than enough amps, lights don't dim anymore.

This thing is a beast

Huge power, high voltage all the time, keeps all 3 of my amps running smooth and with plenty of power. with 1900 CCA, it always starts the truck even if i've been running the stereo for a while without the engine on. Definitely worth it.

Great Battery

I'm currently running 3 of these in my suburban. I'm pushing over 160 db's. These batteries are defenitly worth the money. I'm currently registered at the loudest in Utah with USACI. If you wanna go big this is definetly the battery to get.

awesome batterys!

i have 3 of these running 2 hifonics 2600 D class, 2 hifonics 100x4, 1 soundstream 75x4, 2 orion hcca (2010 black face) 15.2, and my roof of my pathfinder is sucking in and out 4 inches, seriously! also have a kinetik 600 hidden in a side compartment. when im driving run about 13.5 volts, if i seriously pump it ive seen it drop 11.9- 12.2 so obviously my subs aren't seeing true 2600 with this drop. i never run it like that for any period of time, dont want to burn my amps up cause low voltage, a 200 amp alt will take car of this. these battery's are bada**!! if u need em buy these!

Ohh yeahhh

Great battery, bought two of these, Honda owner, bangin a 12" fi btl fully loaded, loudest system in town lol Kinetik ftw, Sonicelectronix rules ur face off, luv em! My Local car audio shop was charging $313.50 for these same ones, lol weighs fifty two pounds like a dang workout

Great product.

For all those who are looking to get a high powered system must have extra batteries. And Kinetik is the only way to go.

Great battery..

This battery has proven to be a good quality product. I usually go with XS Batteries but this one was an exception in my daily driver. Does its job.. no complaints. Good quality!

Solid performer.

Bought 2+ years ago as the main and only battery on my jeep. Used for my nearly 2000 watts rms multi amp audio system as well as cranking duties. Still holding a resting voltage of 12.8v. Starts engine every time.
