This is the first time I've had the 72 ah of headways in my whip for more than a 10 min torture test. Dude, Parker get some ultracaps to go between your amps and headways... brah I've been doing this a min n I'm telling you, ultracaps AND lithium is whas up man... research it if you want but an xs power SB 630 farad in my little 7-9k system has my voltage more rock solid than I thought poss! for approx $800 for lithium and ultrcap... im surging almost 800 amps and steady 13.8-14.3 the ENTIRE time... Level up brotha! Thanks for turning me onto the headways! So glad I took the plunge!

I have been following your videos for a few months now, I’ve started putting together a setup of my own. I just have to say I appreciate you putting in the time and sharing what you’ve done it’s been so much help.

All of us that have been doing lithium cells since they came out are enjoying the builds.

Just purchased 28 headway lithium,super excited & the links u left will help out alot. Thanks

Good info in my opinion. I’ve been looking into this part of the game the most right now... trying to figure out the best electrical possible.... and also how to make it as affordable as possible. Thanks so much for the videos man!

This was an awesome surprise! Great to see you tackle a DIY lithium battery. I have been wanting to do a lithium battery myself for a couple of years now, and i've done tons and tons of research. The absolute best cells to use are A123 Systems 26650 cells. They are little 2.5 ah cells, but you can get a box of 100 cells for about $500 if you are lucky. These cells are capable of 50 amps continuous discharge each! to put it simply, 100 cells make a 62.5 ah battery that is capable of 1250 amps continuous discharge @ 12+ volts. It would support 15,000 watts continuous easily and 36,000 watts burst for 30 seconds.

@catch22frubert 50 amps from a 2.5ah cell is 20c but the headway’s are actually capable of 25c so his 64ah bank could discharge 1620 amps with large enough busbars and equipment to handle it. There are multiple brands of LTO cells and LiFePo4 that can discharge 50c to 100c as well. If you are mainly looking for a lithium cell with a high C rate there are a few better options out there, and I realize I’m 10 months behind, so you might have already learned this on your own. I was just trying to help out cause I spent a bit of money buying the same exact cells then started finding so many cells with higher output and I was pretty upset.

i have full videos on my channel , they also make 38120 cells that are blue and you dont want those , ones we use are 38120 HP ''high power" and are red , these will smoke that 45ah limitless in performance lol ! yinlongs dont need over 15v they can be run as low as 14.4v , what i recommend is 14.6v+ charge go yinlong , anything under 14.6v charge i do headways , yinlongs do best at in the 15.2-15.6v range , anything over 15.6v dont add anything , but even at 14.6v the yinlongs will do better than the headways due to being a 13.8v battery . yinlongs can not be mixed with AGM like these though .

Hey I was wondering if you have her heard of Dakota lithium batteries do you think those could be used in a car audio build

So I can pair this with other battery chemistries? I have a lead acid starter battery and two deep cycle sla/agm mighty max batteries in the back.

How many cells should I get to support 6500watts, I currently have a 300a alternator, 1 xs power d3400 under the hood, and 1 d3100 in the rear, my amps will be running at .5

Two questions which balancer do I need the link has many options. Secondly how do I charge it what kind of charger should I get im assuming I will need one....

You think 48ah of these would be enough to delete the front battery and run 2000w rms on a stock 135amp alt?

What about the amazon 100ah lithium batteries used for energy storage, they are $329 and boast 100ah… are these a good option as well?

Will this run my car as well as my audio system? I heard you can't add lithium to another type of battery like wet cell or AGM. I was looking to do a battery delete and just run lithium in the back.

Hi Parker. I got the exact same set up but I'm getting 14v. Not sure what I did wrong. My balancer did not like it!

How many cells would i need all I have right now is an x18 v1 on a soundqubed 1200.2 for now until its broken in? Not very experienced in car audio yet

I have an option to install either 100 ah lead acid battery or 50 ah of lithium for my setup. Which do you think would be a better option and why?

Hey man, any chance you have the template for those buss plates? Apparently they're not making them anymore.

You have to have a h o alternator to use 1 of these?

Good point. The alternator will regulate voltage and current on its own, based on the voltage provided fielding it, as well as the control input from the PCM. However, lithium does not charge the same as lead acid. 99% of vehicles from 90s to 2010s will only allow the alternator to charge around 2 to 4 amps unless the load is particularly high for some reason, like fans and lights are on. So there is regulation, it's called a voltage regulator and rectifier bridge. In a real serious setup I would use or make my own separate regulation control.
