Product Research

Features

Overview: The XS Power D6500 is a 12-volt battery that is designed to be used as a supplemental power source in your vehicle, or it can replace your vehicle's OEM battery. It can supply the power needed to run your high-powered audio system, better than a standard battery.

Terminals Needed: This D-series battery does not come with battery terminals, so you will need to purchase the proper terminal adapters for your application before installation can take place:

  • Car Stereo Installation: You will need terminal adapters that fit the inner diameter of your power ring terminals. 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). For dual-battery installations, a second battery install kit, such as the XS Power AK3500, can be used to connect the D6500 in parallel (+ to + and - to -) with the main battery.
  • OEM Battery Replacement: The D6500 fits the BCI Group 65 vehicle applications and will fit many small imported vehicle applications. If you are installing the battery under the hood or replacing your vehicle's OEM battery, you will need either the Short Brass Post Adapters (#580) or the Long Brass Post Adapters (#586) to connect your battery cables. The D6500 Billet Aluminum Hold Down (#585) can also be used to install the battery under the hood.

i-Bar: The integrated Battery Amperage Rail (i-Bar) system accessories can be used with this battery in special applications. These include the Marine i-Bar Top Only (#554) and i-Bar Multi Top Only (#556).

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 D6500 has the following specifications:

  • MAX Amps: 3900 amps
  • Cranking Amps (at 32°F): 1100 amps
  • Reserve Capacity: 174 minutes
  • Discharge Capacity: 86 Ah (amp hours)
  • Dimensions: Length=11.8", Height=6.8", Width=7.2"
  • Weight: 54 pounds

Q
Will the 2012 f150 3.5l ecoboost factory alternator keep the battery charged?
trey  Nov 15, 2023
1 answer
A
The factory alternator could keep this battery charged, but it will depend on how much is being drawn by aftermarket items, such as aftermarket car audio amplifiers.

Q
I have a 86 Regal can you help me with the correct battery that is needed for my vehicle?
isaac  Apr 07, 2023
1 answer
A
A direct replacement for your 1986 Buick Regal would require a BCI Group 70 battery. Unfortunately, we do not currently carry this type of battery.

Q
Will this fit a 2010 ford f150?
logan  Mar 14, 2023

This would not be a direct fit for your F-150. The correct battery would be the D3400, which is linked here: www.crutchfield.com/p_122D3400/item.html

Q
WILL THIS FIT 2020 SHELBY MUSTANG?
glen  Aug 09, 2021
1 answer
A
XS Power has not researched your car to know what battery size can fit. Based on information found on auto store web sites, the 2020 year models have the same BCI battery group as the 2019 year models which means this battery will not work. The D4700 is the one that works: www.crutchfield.com/p_122D4700/item.html

Will this battery fit a 2011 gmc sierra ?
michael james  Aug 08, 2021

Giving the size of a truck I'm sure it may fit under the hood but I'd suggest personally speaking to a professional at crutchfield. I purchased these batteries to use in the trunk of my car as back ups for my car audio.
nelson  Aug 11, 2021
A
It will fit in the stock battery position. It was the same size as my normal 12 voltage car battery, but definitely heavier in my opinion.
christopher  Aug 08, 2021
Q
Is this battery compatible with a 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500?
ian  Jul 04, 2021
1 answer
A
You will want to contact an Advisor by phone (1-800-324-9695) or online chat to discuss compatibility with your factory system. They will be able to pull up your vehicle and see if this will integrate. If it does not, then they will also be able to discuss other options with you.

Yes. It's a dry cell sealed battery, so it can pretty much be mounted anywhere
