[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8828960, member: 614752"] According to my source in China and the dischrage curves for those cells you're gaining little trying to charge beyond 15V. SALT amps aren't even rated to be fed over 15.5V! Why risk smoking your amp and possibly hurting or stressing factory stuff that's only built to ever see 15.0? What are your goals here? Extra .5V will almost definitely be inaudible and even if you're chasing numbers it's likely you can get gains elsewhere with less risk/effort/trouble. IF you're starting with an 18V amp(s) you can get creative but you'll want a proper external regulator and not just some diode in a black box arrangement. [/QUOTE]
