D1400

The D1400 is a 14 volt AGM battery in a BCI Group 34 case, built for vehicles that pull more current than a standard 12V system was designed to give. The higher nominal voltage is the reason to run one: amplifiers make more power on higher voltage, and modified engines with high compression or heavily upgraded electronics hold up better when the system is not sagging. Low internal resistance delivers 775 cranking amps and 682 cold cranking amps, so the engine starts in extreme heat or cold, with peak output up to 2,400 amps. Capacity backs it up with 56Ah and 96 minutes of reserve, enough to keep a large stereo playing with the engine off. Absorbent Glass Mat construction is sealed against spills and moisture and handles vibration, so the battery can be mounted in a trunk, an amp rack, or an interior location rather than only in the engine bay. Charging temperature range runs from 5F to 120F. Both 580 and M6 terminal hardware are included, which covers most cable ends without a separate adapter. Note that a 14V battery needs a charging system and accessories rated for that voltage, so plan the rest of the electrical system around it.
