CAR AUDIO EXPLAINED: Charging Lower after Lithium switch? Here's why.

[@TrunkThunderLithium]

If you buy a battery from glowe voltage. You must charger it before you drop it in!!! If you don't you risk frying your stock alternator. My car charges at 14.8 max. 15v on a fresh winter cold start for about 3 min then drops to 14.6ish If I was to drop a battery at 30% SOC into my car an stsrt it my alternator would scream hell at me 🤣 You must charge it!!!! No battery by law is allowed to be shipped fully charged.😊

[@GloweIndustries]

Charging is good.

[@TrunkThunderLithium]

Lead acid tanks like a.rock once a charge is taken away. Blow my mind when you compare to lifepo4. I can charge a bank to 14.6 an over a week or two later it'll be at 14.2

[@GloweIndustries]

Straight down with lead acid on a load yep.

[@TrunkThunderLithium]

@@GloweIndustries looking forward to more content sir 💪🏻🔋⚡

[@Angel_xXx_76]

I’ve witnessed some strange behavior in my car with my headways and the AGM. If I disconnect the AGM negative, battery delete, I will actually charge higher. Like 14.5 vs 14.2-3 with the AGM connected. I do have a HO alt but it’s stock voltage. I do seem to dip lower in the 13s without the AGM but if I hook it back up I stay in the low 14s at full tilt at a idle. It’s like the AGM gives me some extra buffer.

[@GloweIndustries]

I wonder if your AGM is not 100% healthy and is dragging down the voltage?

[@Angel_xXx_76]

@@GloweIndustries I believe so also, I am testing some things and I also re-wired everything to the rear distro block first as discussed in your Facebook theory. I am testing that also and will report back my findings.

[@TrunkThunderLithium]

Love the vid bro!!! My question is did you drop in a dead battery from your stock to show what would happen or just depleted your own battery you already had installed to show what would happen in a situation with a lithium battery being dropped in brand new no prior charge

[@GloweIndustries]

I left my headlights on for a few hours to drain about 20 aH off of a 90ah battery.

[@TrunkThunderLithium]

@@GloweIndustries sent you a test vid myself.imma post. Tomorrow I'm taking out my AGM an gonna see if the the Agm is taking away from the voltage because it's sharing the charge output of the alt

[@RAW-CAt]

Is it healthy for this type of lithium to be constantly fully charged at 14V or above? If I am using a DC/DC charger would a lower charging voltage let's say at 13.6V be better to prolong the life of the battery?

[@GloweIndustries]

Charging at 13.6v means that once your battery is like 70% charged the last 30% will take hours no matter how fast your charger is. I think the most important thing is to have a solid balancer on the cells. Also, it won’t be constantly charged above 14v.. I imagine most folks run their car a few hours a day at most, with the rest of the time the battery not being in an actively charging state. Small amounts of parasitic draw from being hooked up to your vehicle will ensure during these times the battery isn’t just sitting at 100% soc.

Can I add a series 2 Glowe battery straight to the amp? My car is a Prius with no alternator

[@GloweIndustries]

As long as you keep it charged up in between usage, sure.

[@OnlySubzz]

Whats the formula for lithium and rms. I have 120 ah (3 jp40) on a crescendo 8k @.5 and crescendo s1 and crescendo s4. Gp 340 alt. I want to run another crescendo 8k but not sure how much more lithium i need.

[@OnlySubzz]

To clarify I don't think I needed 3 jp40s I like over kill but have low area for space.

[@brenthenderson151]

How can I get that charging display app you’re using?I need that

[@brenthenderson151]

@GloweIndustries ??

[@GloweIndustries]

Good morning! Check out my other videos. I have one that details now to graph battery performance - can find links there for sure.

[@dylanhylton2636]

Once adding gvs1 after charging my voltage went down to like 14.3 while driving and like 13.5 when idle it was around 14.8 before installing driving or idle

[@djtomtrain2015]

Im confused. I added lithium and i charge to 14.8- 14.9. But my voltage in the stock electric is 12.8 all while amps get 14.8. No isolater. Weird but im not complaining. 14.0v willmake my apms protect. Can anyone explain this?

[@GloweIndustries]

What do you mean voltage in stock electric is 12.8? And amps get 14.8? I don’t understand.

[@djtomtrain2015]

@@GloweIndustries its got to be isolated. No other explanation. Mulitmeter reads 12.8 throughout my jeep. Amps read 14.8.

[@bearxbunny1835]

@@djtomtrain2015 Mine is the exact opposite!!! The lithium monitor screen I have says it's at 13.1 at the highest, it easily gets down to 12.8 also, but my multi meter reads 13.8 to 14 at other places in the car

[@Supamayne75]

Just inatalled my Glowe series 1 and noticed the same thing with charging voltage. Thanks for the explanation. Where do i get a battery monitor like that?

[@GloweIndustries]

You can search for Bluetooth smart battery monitor or Bluetooth shunt on Amazon. 💯

[@TheAnthonyBrandi]

reallly nice video. what bms system is that? the app is awesome and im suprised the starter works with it being high current draw

[@GloweIndustries]

It’s not a BMS, it’s a shunt/ammeter. If you check out my other videos, I talk about this and where to get it (under $90) on the one about “how to graph battery performance.”

[@brenthenderson151]

Can I charge my lifepo with a regular battery charger?

[@GloweIndustries]

Yes - carefully. Don’t leave it to charge for an extended period of time. The primary difference between a lifepo4 charger and lead acid is that a lifepo4 charger will turn off when full. Inversely, a lead acid battery charger generally becomes sort of like a battery maintainer and begins trickle charging the battery to keep the voltage up. This is what you want to avoid, lifepo4 batteries don’t want to be float charged at a full soc.

[@brenthenderson151]

@@GloweIndustries thanks for the info bro 💯💪🏾

[@TimothyAlt-ti4in]

Is there any way on a 2011 dodge charger 3.6L for me to be able to get my car to charge in the high 14s with me running only my Lishen 85ah for the whole car? (I just have my ground terminal completely disconnected on my factory lead acid battery that’s still in the stock location in the trunk)

[@GloweIndustries]

Why do you need high 14s? I charge at 13.9 in one of my vehicles on a LifePo4 bank and it's perfect. These batteries will rest at 13.35 volts when fully charged, so anything above that point will be actively charging them up to full.

[@mosesmartinez7864]

Jus installed my series 1 went from 14.3 to 13.7-13.5 i never see higher is this okay or do i need to figure out how to up my voltage

[@GloweIndustries]

Moses, try driving the car for a bit without playing music.
