XS Power AGM Battery 03-10 Ram 2500 / 3500 Cummins | 94-22 Ford F-250 / F-350 Powerstroke
Description
Whether you have auxiliary lighting, a high-powered stereo, or just want the maximum amount of juice to start your 03-10 Cummins or 94-21 Powerstroke, a XS Power Battery is what you need. The XS Power D6500 deep cycle 12-volt battery provides up to 4300 maximum amps and has a capacity of 113 amp-hours. This is a drop in replacement battery and XS Power guarantees their batteries will not leak, even if damaged. These batteries also resist extreme vibrations, so they'll perform in the harshest environments without skipping a beat.
XS Power batteries feature a sealed absorbed glass mat (AGM) design that incorporates special glass fiber mats that contain the acid electrolyte between the lead plates, rather than a standard flooded (liquid) design. This leak-proof, non-hazardous configuration typically lasts longer than normal replacement batteries if properly charged. These batteries actually store energy, so you don't have to add a capacitor to your system to get a quick burst when you need it.
POST ADAPTER:Post adapters are required for use with stock battery hold downs. If you purchase this battery without the brass post adapters, you will not be able to attach your factory battery cables.

Diesel engines put a hard demand on their batteries, especially starting in harsh weather conditions. Add a winch, lights, and subwoofer and most off-the-shelf batteries begin to fail. XS Batteries are built for hard use and will take the punishment for years to come.

"Very nice replacement. My truck turns over effortlessly. Good solid power from what I can tell. Awesome!"
AWESOME
"All I have to say is wow they put out tons of cranking amps paired with new cables, new high torque starter, and a mean green alternator these things are just what the Dr ordered. Can't be happier with them. May even buy more for my boat."
Q&A
- Per warranty requirements, how does a customer handle a claim because I don’t see Diesel Power Products listed on the XS Website as an authorized dealer?
- Their website might not have been updated, but you will go through the manufacturer for the warranty procedure.
- So this product says it won't fit in my 2012 Ram 2500 6.7 cummins, but I'm confused on why? I'm currently making plans to relocate my dual batteries to inside the cab, upgrade the all of the wiring and installing a high output alternator and decided I want to go with an XS power battery but having trouble figuring out what battery to go with. Will this not fit simply because of the factory battery box? Or is there electronic issues?
- If you are relocating your batteries there is no reason why those would not work on your '12.
