Hot Rod Batteries

[Gary N.]

I was looking at one of my street rod magazines today and came across this web site for hot rod batteries crystal cell technology??? http://www.hotrodbatteries.com/

One model (HRB 11) is even smaller (5.125 x 3.250 x 6.500) than the RSV battery(6.875" x 3.4375" x 6.125") with 375 cranking amps. Looks like the HRB 14 with 475 cranking amps would work too.

They don't advertise the price so I'm sure it must be kind of high considering a 100% replacement five year warranty.

Just thought I would through it out there for anyone who might be interested. If nothing else, I think I might look into one for my street rod.

Looks like it could be interesting.

They are rating the batteries in horsepower. What does that mean? Seems like a meaningless number with nothing to compare it to. Ok lets see. At 12 volts that's 83 amps per kw. Then how many kilowatts to one horsepower or is it is it how many horsepower to one kilowatt. Wait. Ok I'm confused.

375 hp = 279.75 kw = 23250 amps = 1162.5 AH

I think they are trying to say that it will start a 375 HP engine. But that's just a guess on my part. Seems hard to believe that a little battery like that will start a high HP car engine but that's what they're push'n. Sounds good in the ad and I've heard others talking about these batteries but no experience myself.
