Default current draw when fans kick in !

hey everyone !

i have three slim fans hooked up to my radiator and i can feel current draw when fans kick in, the battery is relocated to the trunk and i'm using 0 gauge wires. i also have two amps and a subwoofer and i can feel the current draw when i turn up the music too.However, my battery just died and wont recharge again. i'm wondering if the battery was my issue and i needed a bigger and more powerful one.

here is the battery i'm using : My link

could someone tell me if that battery was enough for my applications or i need to upgrade to something else ?

thanks ..

That is a nice stinger battery but it sounds like it might be toast? I would charge it up and bring it to a shop to be tested. In my opinion you should have two batteries with that much electrical load. Especially from a large sub/amp setup. Get a nice run of the mill auto battery like interstate, etc and use that one under the hood. Then, look into wiring in an extra battery. I would put the stinger in the trunk hidden.

i took the battery to a shop and they said it has a bad cell so i need a new one. i found this battery which i guess will deliver more power My link but i'm worried that it's too much for the car. i cant find the oem battery specs so i can compare. i have a capacitor connected to the sub which i thought it will solve the issue but it just helped a little. someone recommended that i need to check my alternator and probably that's the issue but i want to make sure about the new battery before i spend a couple of hundreds and eventually change it.

I've got an optima yellow top. I'm running a 500w sub/amp as well as 300 for my speakers. I have no issues with this setup. I would also have your alternator tested
