lake - what store would I find stinger batteries at?

carter - so its a costco brand deep cycle marine battery you are using?

thanks!

I bought mine from the stereo install guy and he charged me about $325/each (he wanted $250 for the Blue Tops and $400 for the Kinetics). I base my decision on (1) price (2) how long the batteries would last and (3) how long the batteries would take to recharge. I chose the middle road among these 3 ( blue top was cheapest, Stinger 1500 was in the middle and Kinetic 2400 was top end). Reality is that the blue top would work great for me, but I did not want to get stuck on the 1 or 2 guys weekends when I am killing the system and trying to recharge the system.

you can buy the stingers online at several places. you are looking at $300-$350. I think all three batteries are great and you just have to decide how much you want. I think the Twins (LOC and WakeDoc) run Kinetics and I run Stinger 1500. My WS system and batteries are WAY MORE than I need. Like you, I have very young kids (1yr girl and 4yrs old boy).

Note: I really like the Stinger 1500. I cant pound it for 4-5 hrs and it recharges in about 5 hrs. The Blue Tops are slower and the Kintetic 2400 are faster (ie last longer and charge faster)

Makes a lot of sense... I appreciate the input.

I am going to check out all the batteries you guys recommended
