Thanks for this vid, alot of good information.

But I don't have enough room for the XS that is made for that application. how sealed wound a enclosure need to be for the battery? Are we talking completely water tight? I'm sure I could fab something up out of abs but I'd be weary of how waterproof I could get it.

[@rackstargaming8131]

Why Lithium and not AGM battery? Is their a big difference between the two technologies?

[@JohnG1000]

Weight.... I would need (10x) 50lbs agm batteries to even come close to the output of a 50lb lithium bank . So weight savings and space saving are 2 of the biggest pros . The con is that as fast as it gives out the power it will drain just as fast but if you have alot of alternator power it would charge back up almost just as fast . Kind of like having a shit ton of super capacitors and a little bit of reserve capacity as well all in one battery . AGMs are just a lot of reserve capacity but you can only get a small amount at a time instead of just one big rush and AGMs also take way longer to charge back up . My voltage on 3 agms would drop from 14.8 to 12.3 volts with a high output alternator when I would go full tilt and charge back up in about 30ish seconds. With 80ah of LTO lithium I don't drop below 15.38 and I charge at 15.48 .When it does drop, it recovers within the blink of an eye after bass changes frequencies or stops between beats .

@@bigkato3134 Where are you getting 30k cycles? If done right we don't worry about cycles.You say all other LifePo4, "all other" is non existent unless you are refering to manufactures. as if its not LifePo4, well it is not LPF. LTO is the most safe? The safest chemistry I would argue (Which I do not need to as its proven) that LifePo4 is the winner there, Easiest, Cleanest and no alterations to a vehicles stock electrical system even your stock battery can stay with no isolator needed and can bring a LifePo4 down to 100% DoD and bounce back however not recommended. LTO is a young pup so their life claims are speculation (which really they all are but LTO is a very new chemistry) and all BS anyway as too many factors. "cycle life" is also meaning that the battery no longer is able reach above 70 or 80% capacity, which will still work splendid for us in car audio.

I considered both before building the one I have now because there wasn't much available information on either product being they were just realeased at the time.

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

LTO banks are higher voltage, you are limited to 14.8 charge, but I suggest 14.6 max. You can also use a AGM under hood as the headway(LifePo4) will play well and headway which is LifePo4 is harder to kill and much more forgiving. If you are looking to upgrade or have any qualms with your electrical, I suggest a bank of caps, 500F(6 3000F cells) will do very well for you. *Edit- I said lead acid, you can use a wet cell battery with LifePo4 however I strongly suggest a isolator relay. AGM there is no need.

Only thing I recommend is a higher output alternator. The only reason it drops is cause your idle amps coming out of your alternator isn't enough to keep up with your system. Also no matter what you're always gonna have a little drop cause your batterys get full while driving then when you idle they run out cause your alternator can't keep up with the drain.

CMAX are designed to be used by a big automobile manufacturer in electric vehicles WITH A CUSTOM TAILORED BMS. all the big electric car manufacturers are using NMC or other very energy dense li-on chemistries (for the most part, Tesla has been known to use LFP but not as much as the more traditional "li-on" cells) essentially it boils down to this.. some chemistries are way more energy dense but are worse at thermal runaway... LTO is NOT very energy dense but is very safe and has very high charge/discharge rates... 99.999999% of car audio users DO NOT use a BMS in their battery pack which is only OK to do with LTO and LFP unless you realllllllly know what you are doing and monitor your pack and all its cells like a hawk. And most people dont... most people dont even have basic understanding of how an electrical circuit works they are simply copying something they read online.. and boom fire. thats all folks have a good day.. Queue comments *now* about how you are a expert battery engineer because you read on facebook how to properly use CMAX.. NEWSFLASH CMAX cells were engineered to be used WITH A BMS and NOT WITHOUT!!! - also to all the people saying D4s and XS power are overcharging their 5s LTO... XS power sells a 6s LTO pack so buy that if youre really that concerned.. but for real LTO can be abused like a mofo.. all youre going to do is shorten its life it aint catching on fire so who cares??

What battery is J.P. talking about that catches your car on fire I would like to know so I don’t buy it.

The jy catches on fire its not in a tough shell

These batteries cannot stand extreme heat or cold so unless you plan on maintaining these batteries like inside outside storage just go AGM or ultra caps.

-58°Fahrenheit to +148°Fahrenheit seems pretty extreme to me 🤔

I been running Lto lithium 3 year now never had a problem I live in cold ass Chicago it was 5 degrees today and the windchill was -20 and my car cranked up like a champ my voltage was still resting at 15.2 I haven't driven the car over a week

@@bigkato3134, good to know. I'm in Washington State. It gets below 0 degrees. Not often. But it stays in the low teens often. I'm just about to make the switch.

Wassup everybody my question is can I run a salt 8 on a zv6 between 2 & 4ohms DAILY??!! OR Can I run the salt 8 on 2 SA V2 DAILY at 4ohms without any problems??

Some people cannot afford those expensive lithium batteries. AGM batteries are solid and budget friendly as well.

Cmax

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

I watch this video as i am legitimately building a 45ah cmax bank. I would love to see these constant sightings of vehicles burning? from it, I am not calling you a liar I just do not see nor hear about them anymore, the whole thing as i have personally seen is result of the rumor mill doing what it do best and overreact Also NMC chemistry is not all one in the same. Cmax has a tarnished rep, insight which is identical as they are both panasonic made doesn't have the inherited " personality trait" that of cmax. Also 2 versions of cmax 5ah and 25ah cells are not the same, the C ratings are vastly different and 25Ah usually will not be a good choice typically for those who want to run cmax. any and every diy builder should be knowledgeable.

[@scottiffanimccord1509]

I looked in to cmax a bunch before going LTO. What made up my mind was the lack of availability of quality cells, the bus bars are way too expensive (for the good ones) and the way they must be compressed was just a few then you have guys making videos of puncturing the cells and volcano like reactions, unlike LTO if punctured them and nothing, nada, zip. I'm not putting you down bro I'm just talking to a fellow bass brother, and it sounds like you know a LOT more than I do and know the differences in Panasonic/cmax and what cells to use, I wish you the best God bless!

[@commonsenseisdeadin2024]

@@scottiffanimccord1509 the safest is LifePo4 (LFP) as well as the most fool proof (not fully nothing is), LTO is safe too but much easier to kill cells. Cmax is dangerous, absolutely, and I would never trust just letting a rookie run it. However it still has a tarnished name because idiots either used the wrong cells or not enough cells with very poor or no compression (casing) on top of it. It's a powerful cell and ran by many people with no issue whatsoever and I've yet to see a halfway decent compressed pack in the failed photos. I don't recommend Cmax to anyone as who asks don't know, i always recommend red headway cell if any. I just hate the misinformation surrounding it. lithium is a huge factor moving forwards, not just in audio but everything. I think everyone should be informed and educated in all types of Li-Ion and Li-Po. Most do not understand that last sentence yet every laptop, phone, any electronic wireless device has the potential or the ability to catch fire and explode. Charging is when all batteries are the most dangerous. Bass on!
