[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8767459, member: 661255"] Yeah, and unfortunately, the current additives that increase stability/safety also hinder performance. That's one of the topics in the paper I'm working on. The instability of the chemistry is what makes it so great for charging/discharging rapidly. Thank you for the clarification! Are there other cells around that price range you would recommend? I could get 2 banks of the Lishen cells for the price of the XS ones. The ZVX is only 1500 watts RMS. It only has a 3" coil, so I don't think I'll be pushing the Smart 3k too hard. I usually like to have an "overpowered" amp for subs, so I can supply the sub with plenty of clean power without pushing the amp to clipping. I'm assuming I'll be smelling coil before I draw too much current with the amp. Yeah, I got it when rates were really low too. For $40, I thought it would be worth it. You're right, at least the bus bars would be reusable. I'll balance the cells when I get them, and just check each cell once a month. [/QUOTE]
