Very beautiful work under the hood Would you mind showing people the correct way to charge these up? I do have instructions and deal with a lot of these but now I see why people buying them from me are going to turn around and blow it up and then look at me crazy do not charge off of a battery if you just got this Use a maintainer low amp and you can strap a voltmeter onto that super bank while charging it. The idea is to pull away voltage slow charge as possible percolated and that charge means the most. I made mine stretch out over a two hour period and today it rips 15 three steadythree years later

I’m just now seeing this video and I just wanted to tell you that your installation is sweet. I just got a 04 Suburban a couple of months ago for my very first attempt at a real system. I have already gotten a dual alternator bracket for it as well as a Taramps Smart Bass 5K amp and a Sundown Audio NSV4 D2 18. Unfortunately my house burned down and my wife and I lost everything including our dog in the fire. That being said I have had to put my plans on hold for now until we can get everything back on track again. I’m looking forward to getting two of the Mechman Elite 400 amp alternators and some lithium batteries to power everything as well as some more subs and I would love to have a SALT 8 or maybe even a SALT 12 to pull as much power from the alternators and batteries as possible. I would love to get your input on what you think would help me build something truly epic for my first real system. Thanks for making these videos and sharing your knowledge with everyone.

Or would all that be done off the lithium bank in the rear?

First: Caps have considerable faster discharge/recharge rates than an AGM making it perfect for hard hitting bass. Second: since there is no conventional battery (lead acid, AGM,etc) I can run everything together with no isolators and no issues. Thats how it is now better for my application.

I’ve watched your other video on how to measure resistance and voltage drop. I’m seeing very minimal voltage drop between my battery and amps. However, after measuring the resistance of my ground points I decided to measure the resistance from battery positive post to the distribution block in the rear of my vehicle and it was about 5 ohms. Can you explain what level of resistance you should have on the positive run to the back of the car. I’ve used 0 gauge. I plan on doing a big upgrade pretty soon, so I’m just curious about what level of resistance I should be looking for.

Is running your negative cables to the back better than grounding to the frame ?
@NextLevelCarAudio

For sure, most don’t do it tho. However it is necessary with unibody cars. But in my case, even tho I can go to frame. I still get less voltage drop with a direct run.

Hey man im from your previous.vid, you sent me here. So basically you ran 2 runs of wire from each alternator to the front battery correct ? & from the front battery 3 runs to your rear battery bank correct ? Also 1 ground from each Alt & 2 runs of ground to your rear battery bank ? Hopefully i dont bother asking for so much lol i want to make sure i order enough wire & do it right the first time

I just ordered a 12k limitless lithium battery and a limitless super cap battery delete for under the hood do you think i will have any issues with my truck not being able to start when it gets to cold? I get all freaked out cause i ordered everything without doing research first then i started reading on the 12ks and seen how they blow up but i seen how to avoid that. But i read that caps hate the cold and drain fast when cold. Do u have any input that would help me out? And thank you for the great videos!

Yes you can, but most all manufacturers will tell you to run an isolator. There are different types of lithium. And some more important than others to isolate. LTO is required, LifeP04 is recommended, etc. I ditched my AGM and now run pure lithium and super caps. Could not be happier
