XS Power D3400

[malvizar]

So my 2007 Tahoe requires a D4800 XS power battery.

I would like to get the D3400 instead since it has more power overall, and is basically almost the same dimensions.

Would my battery hold down bracket to hold it down fit the D3400? Summit says it won’t and that I might have to make a custom one. And since a battery is hazardous material so I can’t return it, so I’d be stuck with it

Has anyone used a D3400 in their Hoe and was any special mods necessary?

TIA!

The major issue with AGM batteries is that they lack the protrusion at the bottom edge that the battery clamp attaches to.

It looks like this manufacturer doesn’t supply an adapter kit like Optima does. Dimensionally the batteries are almost the same however the 2nd choice battery doesn’t have recessed terminal posts. I assume this battery has screw in terminal post adapters right?

Correct it attaches with either screw in posts (sold separately I believe) or with the M6 screw that’s supplied. Which is fine as I have 1/0 power and ground with crimped lugs so the screw will work fine for me.

I currently have a Duracell AGM but it isn’t holding a full charge anymore.

If you can, buy an exact replacement and return the dead one on the same day as a dud. Every one of the AGM battery I purchased, Bosch, Champion, Optima Blue & Yellow all crab’d out around 24-28 months.

My Optima smart charger brought two of them back after a 12 hour recycle but still failed several Mo. later. They all use recycled lead now and the impurities cause an early death.

If you can, get a refund and put it toward an Odyssey.

I got my battery at Sam’s about 4 Years ago. Warranty was only good for 3 years

I’ll check out odyssey. Thx

Post up what you find. My last AGM died at almost exactly 25 Mo. Pep Boys was kind enough to warranty me a standard wet battery even though the AGM was out of warranty.

I think long term lithium is the way to go but the swap is a lot more then a simple battery swap…
Lithium (yinlong cells) are supposed to last up to 10 years both my buddy’s run them in slacking and need to get around to making the swap I’m just waiting for my battery to finally give out before I do so

20,000 watts in a Tahoe

By buddy Chris is about to start his audio build on his Tahoe consisting of 18 yinlong cells 2 18s monster amp built doors front and rear I’ll get more pics as he progresses

There are no issues w/ a D3400 in either battery location. I’ve been running them for years. I also own a SB500 superbank

Yeah I pulled the trigger and ordered it from summit. Waiting on it to be delivered. I’ll whip up a custom bracket if I have to

What charger do you use to top it off? I have a noco genius 1 currently, but I was thinking about getting a Xs power hf1208 charger.

I can't remember what model XS I have but it has been mounted for almost 8 years with no issues.
Just make sure to get the correct battery connectors, that was the only thing I ran into.
I bought an XS charger for it as well.
