Fits anywhere, works better than a capacitor.

Love this battery, for 110 dollars it was a great deal. Done let people fool you and say kinetik is garbage, its powering my 1200 watt sound system with ease. looks great and performs great, love it!

Gr8 lil' power pack !!!

I purchased this battery based on reviews submitted by audiophiles (like myself) and i have to say that the guys @ Kinetic know what they're doing ! Small and cute but does the job!!!! 950 cca's in a little cube that u can fit in the palm of ur hand ..... Amazing !!! I'm using this tiny titan as my primary and I have never had a problem starting my hobby car when I forget to crank it in weeks.

Small Battery, Big Punch!

I've owned this battery and have used it as my secondary battery for 6 months. I have 5 12 inch woofers and a Hifonics hfi2500d for low end and I have minimal if ANY voltage drop. BUT I do have a 200 amp alternator installed. But definitely recomended!

Great Value!

The Kinetik HC800 is a great battery. It's very durable and was very cost friendly. It puts out so much power for such a small battery as well. I highly recommend this item.

Kinetic review

I'm not sure if this will help but everyones got an opinion and mine is that these batterys are unbelievable ive had the 800 and currently have a 1400 ive got a 24 and a half foot boat with 2 12s and 6 high end speakers before the battery i could play the stereo for not even 20 min and it wouldnt start the boat after the battery we sat on the lake for 8 hours straight and not only did it not die from the stereo it started up a 454 big block i tell everyone i know about them and have installed stereos for several years ill never hook up another cap in a car after these batterys but if you've used capacitors the kinetic battery will amaze you im gonna try and get a 3800 daddy for next boat season and run the stereo a tv a large power inverter air conditioner and a few other things so good luck guys hope this helped.

Small battery with plenty power!

I have to say this battery is awesome. I have a bunch of equipment in my car. I have 3 TVs one in dash and 2 10 inch headrests, Kenwood eq, Kenwood 1000 watt RMS amp running at full power pushing 2 10 inch alum10n 800 watts RMS EACH subs, and a 6 speaker Infinity Gold interior system with a 180 watt rms amp pushing them. I have a stock alt, stock batt and the big 3 upgrade with only 4 gauge. With all this stuff pulling power from my stock electrical system I still have no dimming AT ALL. Even with it turned all the way up TVs on playing music videos I have no problems. This batt is the best I've ever dealt with. I've had plenty of caps and none can compare to this. I will never use any other type of battery other then Kinetiks ever again. My next step is to get either 2 12s or the 15 and a Kinetik for under the hood.

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!

I am currently using this as a second battery in the trunk to run my two amps. (rockfordfosgates P10002 and a P4002.... if you use them you know there way underrated- the amps power kicker subs and components ) Before i had dimming . now there is none. stock alt. and a cheap walmart battery under the hood(needed it asap) will probably be ordering another one to replace the under the hood! this is truly a great battery!

great buy

Priced just right, I have two 1000 watt amps running off it works good. only down fall is doesnt store alot of power for amps will have to pick up another one. Or i will have to keep replacing alternator blown two so far. very good deal though retail stores want 199.00 for it.

Kinetik packs alot of power into a small battery

This battery packs alot of power for its size. It fits perfect behind the seat in my truck and helps keep my voltage up. Running this w/ stock alt and power and ground run.

Great choice

I was considering getting a capacitor and was doing further research. I have always tried to avoid getting a capacitor but I am now running a dual amp setup totaling around 1100 watts RMS. I have a H.O. alternator already at 140 amps but i was still having serious voltage drop. I finally decided on this battery. I couldn't be happier. Prior to adding the HC800 my voltage would drop from 14.2 all the way down to 12 and even 11 volts sometimes when the bass was really pounding. Now It rarely drops more than 0.1 volt. It was also nearly half the size, and 12 lbs lighter than my old dry cell battery. I couldn't be happier and I will suggest this product to others.

Just a heads up, it doesn't include terminal posts... I sort of wish it came with terminal posts, but for such an awesome battery at this price i really can't complain, and will still happily buy more.

Will always use Kinetik Batteries!

I previously owned the KHC600, I loved how this helped the sound system in my car. Much better than having a Cap! This Gel battery is fully sealed. My 600 lasted for over 5 years before it needed to be replaced. In Arizona, where I live, batteries tend to not last long. To have a battery last this long is awesome! So after having the KHC600, I decided to try the KHC800 and have been very satisfied so far. Having this really helps keep my sound system having quality bass for longer periods of time. I will always use a Kinetik battery in my vehicles to help provide a solid quality power source for my sound system. I recommend the Kinetic800. Even after the 5+ years when the battery went bad, it only bloated, it didn't explode. Kinetik has an awesome quality!

Very Cool....

I bought the battery because the lights were dimming and sometimes woudnt start with original battery. So i tought about buying a battery from my local autoparts stores but the batteries in stock were not even close to the quality of kinetik. And the prices were just ridiculous so i checked Sonic Electronix for batteries, the prices were just awsome very affordable. The battery works superb i have a 1000 rms 12" sub with same rms amp and u can actually hear the difference. Sonic Electronix has a great veriety of batteries i bought this particular kinetic model because it fit my car and im very happy with it.

Too small

Smaller then the picture led me to believe, and the posts it comes with wont be for your car most likely. Doesn't deep cycle well, even the AAA guy told me an Optima would have been a better choice when he was jumping my dead battery. It no longer works at all, 5v. Charged it for half an hour at the mechanic.

So far so goo

I owned an optima red top before and it didnt last, maybe I was using the wrong color. But when buying a new battery I did research on brands and most reviews gave kinetik high marks so I just got this one a week ago but so far, great battery have small 600w system in the car no probs yet. Although I'm gonna put this one in my wifes car and buy the khc1800 instead. One thing is that these batteries seem to be smaller in physical size than stock ones but better powered. Only con is it did not come with the posts may car uses, not a big problem though.

Great power....but

I have a pair of these, one HC1400 and an HC800. One of the guys in my shop left my driver door open after moving the car. These batteries are toast. DO NOT DEEPCYCLE THEM. They are more powerful and lighter than an Optima, but an Optima will survive being deep cycled.

Solid power, great product

Ive been installing car stereos for over 10 years, I can remember when Kinetic batteries first hit the scene with their AGM technology. The produce was revolutionary then, and still makes a huge impact today. A component that was able to do what hundreds of capacitors can do but only costing slightly more than one, it was a no brainer. I recommend these batteries to anyone running over 300 watts of power, it takes care of headlight dimming, electrical system peaks and makes any system hit harder and cleaner. Adding one of these batteries is not only a good idea, but a must if you want to get the most out of your system.

has power

this little battery has enough power (rest is stock under the hood) to support my 4-channel amp (500 watt rms) and my 2-channel amp (800 watt rms) and no dimming any where (headlights/dash) for really powerful systems. i have a total 2600 watts (1300watts rms).

Awesome

I bought this Kinetik power cell for my lexus IS350, wow did it work well. Be aware though it may overcharge your primary battery and have to replace it if it is a stock battery. Optima Yellow top is about the closet they get for the amount of power this cell has. And yes you can still use it as a car battery. It's like running 2 yellow top optimas. Awesome power cell great product. This power cell can run my whole system by it's self without having to recharge it after long periods of time with the car off.!
