(1) D2700 vs (2) Stock Batteries in '95 12v Cummins
For those of you asking how 1 XSPower battery would perform in a diesel application:
I recently replaced my 2 stock flooded style batteries with 1 used D2700 battery (stock size, group 27) The truck is a '95 Dodge 2500 with the 12v Cummins engine. Voltage drop on start up with 2 stock batteries: After replacing them with 1 D2700: Notice that the (2) stock batteries performed worse than (1) D2700. The single D2700 did .6-.8 volts better on cranking! Showing it is a direct replacement, even works with the stock hold down: http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/...ledPull092.jpg Stay tuned, I will update this thread as time goes on. It will be a long term, daily driver test, including sub-freezing starts... |
How much are they?
|
This!
|
$339.99. I can sell direct, or refer you to a dealer in your area!
|
Wow. I would like to swap my truck to one battery so I'm gonna be watching your test for sure. Heck I may stop in one day and check ya'll out.

how old were the 2 flooded batteries?

The D2700 I put in there was returned by a customer and close to 2 years old.:hehe: |
Is there a special charger required? How about jumping a vehicle with an XSPower battery?
|
What is the weight of this battery vs a stock style battery?

You can charge the XSPower batteries with your stock alternator. If you need to charge the battery out of the vehicle, they do require a charger recommended for AGM use. |
Do you have any dealers in Northern IN? My Truck is going to need to have the passenger side battery relocated to the drivers side, but if I could get away with one battery, that would be great!
|
I've got a dealer in Hammond, IN.
Vehicle Specialties, Inc. (219)-845-4473 I've also got somebody in Chicago, depending on how Northern you are in Indiana... |
Can you do a long term -30*F test?
I need a battery that isn't ruined after every winter. This is 2 winters in a row now I've had to replace both batteries due to freezing. |

I'll get some good videos of cold starts in my truck when winter hits. |
