About the XS Power XP950

Dominic DeVito

Power for mobile or marine applications

Looking to give your vehicle a little extra "oomph," power-wise? XS Power's XP Series batteries deliver reliable supplemental energy for your high-performance car audio system. They also make a great solution for your boat or RV's auxiliary electric needs, or for just about any application outside the engine compartment.

Power for mobile or marine applications

Looking to give your vehicle a little extra "oomph," power-wise? XS Power's XP Series batteries deliver reliable supplemental energy for your high-performance car audio system. They also make a great solution for your boat or RV's auxiliary electric needs, or for just about any application outside the engine compartment.

Advanced AGM technology

XP Series 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. 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.

Designed to fit nearly anywhere without leaking

XS Power's compact XP950 12-volt battery provides up to 950 maximum amps and has a capacity of 35 amp-hours. It'll provide a big boost to your car audio system, and it offers ready reserve power for your boat or UTV. You can even use it for non-vehicle applications, such as emergency lighting, alarms, and more.

This battery's compact size lets you get creative with your installation. Since there are no external vents on an XP Series battery, you can mount it in a passenger compartment, below a seat, or inside a glove box without fear of leaks that cause corrosion or damage to chrome or paint. XS Power guarantees their batteries will not leak, even if damaged. These batteries also resist extreme vibrations so they'll perform in the trunk or hatch area without skipping a beat.

Need more help choosing the right battery for your vehicle?

XS Power offers a handy vehicle guide on their website. Simply enter the year, make, and model, and you'll instantly receive a list of batteries that should fit your vehicle. And they'll recommend installation accessories to help make things more convenient. Or just give us a call and talk to one of our advisors.

Note: XP Series batteries do not have reinforced casings and are not recommended for daily under-the-hood applications.

Important Note: It is very important to properly charge an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery before using. Improper charging can permanently damage the battery (including but not limited to swelling), and will void the warranty. These chargers (sold separately) have a microprocessor that monitors the charging process to avoid overcharging, and are recommended for this battery.

More details on the XS Power XP950

Product Research

Features

Overview: The XS Power XP950 is a 12-volt battery that is designed to be used as a supplemental power source in your vehicle. It can be used to provide additional power for your car audio system, or can be used in marine applications. It is not designed to be installed under the hood or replace the OEM battery in your vehicle.

Terminals Needed: This XP-series battery does not come with battery terminals, so you will need to purchase the proper terminal adapters to fit the inner diameter of your power ring terminals before installing. Recommended terminal adapters include: Two 5/16" brass stud adapters (#589), Two 3/8" brass stud adapters (#590), Two 5/16" + Two 3/8" brass stud adapters (#588), or Two 3/8" zinc-plated steel stud adapters (#587). You could also choose the Short Brass Post Adapters (#580).

Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM): XS Power's AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries use a fibrous material to suspend the liquid electrolyte against the lead plates. Because the electrolyte is absorbed in the material, there is little chance of an acid leak, even in the event the case is ruptured. AGM batteries contain more lead compared to traditional "flooded" batteries, thus producing more power.

Charging the Battery: It is very important to properly charge an Absorbent Glass Mat (AGM) battery before using. Improper charging will permanently damage the battery (swelling, etc.), and will void the warranty. XS Power offers two 12-volt High Frequency IntelliChargers designed for charging AGM Batteries: the 8-amp HF1208 and the 15-amp HF1215 (both sold separately). The chargers have a microprocessor that monitors the charging process to avoid overcharging, and are strongly recommended for this battery.

Note: If the battery is damaged (swollen, etc.) due to improper charging, or from not using an intelligent charger, Crutchfield will not accept a return on this item.

Specifications: The XP950 has the following specifications:

  • Maximum Output: 950 amps
  • Reserve Capacity: 50 minutes
  • Discharge Capacity: 35 Ah (amp hours)
  • Dimensions: Width 7.68", Height 6.61", Depth 5.12"
  • Weight: 24.5 pounds

This battery is rated for a audio system with 950 watts on the xs power website. Anyone know what would happen if I were to say use it for a 1500 watt system?

Which would you recommend doing? Adding one of these batteries or upgrading to a higher amp alternator? Please advise, thanks!

I have 6 JL audios 6.5 inch speakers, 1 12 inch sub and 2 JL amps 1-600, 1-400 all being powered by two of these batteries. No capacity or alternator change required unless your running more things.
roman  Jun 19, 2021

Hey Mojo, I actually have 2 of these wired in parallel and they do make a huge difference in the volume of my system. I recently put an XS POWER 3400 under the hood as well. I love the extra power! I haven't done the alternator upgrade yet so can't intelligently advise, but I plan to at some point. Those 950's are a great deal though. In retrospect, I probably should have just put 1 bigger one in the back, like the 2000, but it's all good.
samuel  Jun 17, 2021

I would recommend the battery. It reduces the demand on your alternator. It can be mounted close to the amps providing instant power without the loss of long power runs. Plus provides additional power supply when listening with vehicle off. - 2cents

I added one. I didnt want to drain my starting battery while the radio was on.

Q
In the article about the big 3 upgrade it was mentioned that both batteries should be equal in amp output so if a person was going to install dual batteries whydoes it say that this battery shouldn't be used as the main car battery? Wouldn't this battery be good for an SUV where you would take it off road?

XS makes batteries specifically for atv's boat's etc. just search for them, or go to XS POWER BATTERY website, they advise, calculate and break it down for you.

Hi Daniel, thank you for your question. This battery is designed for supplemental power, for a high-powered stereo system, or if you have a boat or RV that you may need an extra power supply. XP Series batteries do not have reinforced casings and are not recommended for daily under-the-hood applications, and are not designed to be used within an engine compartment. Feel free to chat with an Advisor online or by phone at 1-800-324-9695, we will be happy to help you out with any other questions!

Q
is this a good battery for 48V golf cart?
limas  Apr 06, 2017
1 answer
A
No it's not. this is a 12v battery. You will need a special 48v battery or 4 big 12v battery's. They probably make a 48v battery for the golf cart you have.

Q
Hi. I am running a 1100 watt rms system! Would this particular battery be suitable for my system as a secondary battery? If not, which battery would be suitable for my system...

Agree, the 950 is a good match for an 1100 watt system.
samuel  Jun 17, 2021
A
For a system that totals 1,100 watts RMS, the XS Power XP950 would be a great option to give your vehicle's electrical system a boost in performance. This will ensure your amp(s) receive the necessary current needed to produce optimal sound quality in your car audio system; and that your headlights or interior lights aren't dimming when you turn up the volume. If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat. I hope that helps!
