[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8717648, member: 614752"] Yes. Do not mount them under the hood and do not attempt to run them along with AGM or other types of lithium. LTO is very tolerant to low temperature but not so much to high temp. Under the hood is a bad idea. Run 6S banks and you can charge up to 15.5. The rest of your car might not like charging high and 6S LTO bank will function fine mid 14V where most vehicles will try to charge. My brother and I have 240AH banks, they will support 10,000-15,000W without dropping voltage more than a couple tenths. I saw a guy with 120AH bank running a pair of DC 5Ks at a show last weekend and his voltage was dropping about .5V Keep in mind their "C Rating" is 10C which means max charge/discharge current should be no more than 10X the amp hour rating. SO if you had an 80AH bank you could expect 800A draw out of it or charge it with up to 800A before you hurt them. Toshiba SCIB cells and some of the new Lishen (sp?) cells are boasting 50C+ ratings, but IMO there's no sense in skimping on reserve here unless you have a REX or Yugo where space is your big limiting factor and you're only looking for 3 second burst type application. Even at today's price on the YingLong cells they're a good value compared to AGM, and they're a fraction of the weight and space, AND they're meant to last 20 years. There's absolutely no reason to skimp on size here IMO.... Put it this way, pay 360 a whack for three YingLong banks then compare performance with three 360$ meme brand AGM batteries.
