[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8658666, member: 614752"] So, with a little help from another forum member I got these in this afternoon. Use the 2X3s to box them in for now since I've got a pile of them and it worked out pretty easy. I'll probably try to do something a bit more streamlined later once I try to mount the second amp but for now my existing amp board just screws on top of this covering up the terminal ends nicely. Under the hood battery had to go. LTO bank will rest as high as I can charge them and I don't need a 12.8V battery ******* the life out of them. Good riddance. Used a scrap of a house log plus a bit of ply to hold these terminals together under the hood to cover alt, system power etc. Also I never had wire running all the way back in this Jeep since originally I was just running AGM behind the front seats in front of the wall. Those batteries are gone (need to clean up the baffle now... that part used to be covered). Used a couple more of my leftover distro blocks there to take power to the back... this also leaves me +12 and ground up front for an inverter or anything else I want to mess with. I'll probably cover those up with something to avoid chance of shorts. So the moment of truth. It was slow going getting the voltage up at idle. Banks were resting 13.4 when I assembled them. After I hit 14.0 I put the spurs to 'em and couldn't get voltage to dip below 13.8. Charged up to 14.4 and took a little ride to really get on things. Played to the point of stinky subs some pretty hard songs and couldn't get more than .2V drop. I must say I'm incredibly impressed with these cells so far. I'll continue to update when I get the bank in my brother's car (with stock alternator) and when I get my second amp in. I could drop my voltage down very quickly before down to 12.0 in about 2 hard songs down to 12.8 on burps, previous bank was 3X 110AH an 5X 55ah AGMs. I'd totally recommend LTO batteries for all and I would also recommend dealing with Jerry Wan at [URL="https://baiguan-battery.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2700.8443308.0.0.63373e5fROL1Tc"]Shenzhen Baiguan Battery Co., Ltd [/URL] Start to finish he was very helpful, wrote very good English, and was fast with replies and updates on order status. I was on the fence about trying to order more for resale but I absolutely do not have time around my business and another little side project I have going on. I may at some point still but I totally won't have time this year for anything. Trying to upload a quick video, I'll drop the link later if I succeed (my internet is slow as dirt. I really can't say enough good about the initial testing of the cells. I'll try to get the Jeep out a few times this week and really hammer on things and keep updating.
