[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8801319, member: 614752"] The LTO cells are -40 to 60C temp range so fine for anything in the cabin, I'd probably not want to mount them in the engine bay though. LTO is just a slightly different flavor of LiFePO and AFAIK the LiFePO are pretty stable as far as not being prone to catastrophic failure (read: FIRE). LiPo are the ones that really go up like a white phosphorous grenade if things go wrong, they're a different animal though. I run 6S banks in my Jeep and my brother's Civic with good results but at our charging voltage we are leaving a bit on the table and I think either could drop down to 5S banks and perform as well or better. Back when I competed in 2000W class I used a HO alternator and one additional AGM in the back and still had some pretty big voltage drop when I went hard on things, but I was running one of the under-rated Korean 2K boards and at .5 ohm. Alternator is a great option if it's easy to swap in your vehicle as it actually makes current and it takes up zero space in the vehicle. That said I don't believe a HO alternator will outlast any lithium bank and you may or may not be able to port it to a different vehicle when and if you have to get another car. Might want to get a few alternator quotes and weigh your decision with that in mind. Nate up at Excessive Amperage has always done me right and he's either in or just over the border from Florida.
