[QUOTE="wew lad, post: 8697300, member: 665412"] 150a into a 25ah lithium is stupid. The ratings these manufacturers put out are absurd for longevity. That's 6c of charging and more when the alt is cold. Most lithium batteries want 1-2c of charging max. But whatever, what do I know? I refuse to touch any lithium battery unless I know the cells being used along with a spec sheet for a reason. 99% of the packs out there are <2 years old. I expect to see bad news in the next year or two for those abusing them. You aren't running that much power. I'd consider 1-2 banks of caps as a better solution with around 100ah of AGM's considering you have ~200a of charging capacity. For reference, I have 2 alts, clamp around 315dca at idle with two 55ah AGM's and 2 banks of caps on a taramps hd15k at .5 and unless it's really hot and I'm soft clipping I don't drop below 12v. I have two mid range amps but they're negligable. 800-1000a of draw at peak. Tones are obviously a different situation. [/QUOTE]
