[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8565748, member: 661255"] As I am now, I'm way overkill on battery with the AGM's. If the cap bank isn't sufficient, I can either add more caps or add AGM's if I don't sell them all. I just want less weight in my daily driver. If I do sell all my AGM's, the owner of the shop I used to work at said he would sell me batteries at cost. I can just drive to his distributor and pick some up using the company rate. Several companies make 16v lithiums that charge at 18v+, but my amps are only stable up to about 16.2v daily. I wouldn't be able to properly charge my batteries while maintaining a safe voltage for the amps. I was unable to find a company that makes 14v lithiums (that would charge around 16v). Capacitors are in banks of 2.7v cells. 12v lithium car audio batteries are a bank of 4 cells. The 16v batteries are a bank of 5 cells. The cells they use are higher voltage than capacitor cells (and the internal cells of regular 12v car batteries). Because of this, they don't make 14v banks. [/QUOTE]
