So I am in the market for some batteries.
I like the Kinetik, however they are a bit rich for my blood at the moment.
$699 for a single battery is a little steep.

I have access to Stinger and Shuriken batteries at a really good price.
The Shuriken batteries look to have similar specs with the Kinetik.

I'm just looking for some opinions from others on these batteries.

I am looking at the following batteries:
1) Kinetik HC2000 (x4) (one under the hood)
2) Kinetik HC2400 (x3) + HC800 under the hood
3) Shuriken SK-BT100 (x4) (one under the hood)
4) Shuriken SK-BT120 (x3) + SKBT35 under the hood

While at Performance World I talked with someone at the Kicker truck about what I was wanting to do, he said that I will only need 2 HC2400.
But at the Kinetik booth I needed 4 HC2000.

Thanks for the help

Edit:
I guess I should say what I am planning
2 Sundown SAZ-3000D's or SAZ-3500D's (depending on when I money available) & 2 SAX-100.4's

If weight is not a huge issue, and you are not going to be competing seriously i would go with deka intimidators, great battery for the price. 9A31 is the group 31 , i got mine for 200 each from the distributor. The kinetik's will have a faster discharge rate, however reserve capacity they are fairly close.

from what you have said i would suspect you are not thinking about competing seriously atleast. Im sure others will chime in with some other idea's

all you need is four hawker 1750's or three hawker 2150's.

Kinetik is the worst "car audio type" battery out of all the ones out there.

2 8d flat plate agms would do you wonderfully, so long as your not planning on competeing

I might be doing a little comp action.
Weight is a bit of an issue, but 10-15lbs either way isnt huge.

Why do you say this Yuli?
I have no idea thats why I am asking.

when your a serious street competitor, your building on efficiency. nobody big in street runs kinetik either which would be a good indicator and you want a record, the price isntn't a big deal. i run kinetik 16vx6 i need 3 per amp to make full power, if only odyssey would make a 2150 16v!!!
