The answer it depends on the use. For demos and shows lithium is the way to go because of its faster recharge rate. For daily driver 2-3 agm is sufficient for up to 10k watts assume you high output alternator of at least 300 amps. My car has two agm and super cap and with 9k rms my car still can auto start stop at lights. But deactivate that feature because I’m. Bassing out

I agree, everyones situation will vary. I ran a 2200w amp in my truck with 135amp alt and stock battery. It stayed 13.0 and up, swapped that same amp to my Honda with 80amp alt new underhood batt and AGm rear battery and it drops lower. It's a small alternator but interesting to me.

I recently got a Glowe Voltage S2 lithium (LifePo4) and have been happy with it. I am stuck with a stock altenator and even places like Mechman told me just to add batteries. Glow Voltage claims you can run up to a 12k on stock charging. Haven't tried that but my 8k does fine on a stock 150a alt, my underhood AGM and the Glowe Voltage in the back by the amps. Been really happy with it and pretty easy to toss in. No need for an isolator and it works fine with the AGM

I have a series 1. My system uses 2300 watts RMS, I will probably do a battery delete or capacitor in the front and series 1 in the back. I probably will upgrade my alternator as well. Havent installed everything as yet tho

C rate is the rate the battery can discharge divided by its capacity (Discharge capability) / capacity = C Most agms are tested for slow discharges not max like lithium and the like AGMs usually have 1c at most 10a for 10hours is .1c Batteries are a tough subject to get into… Been watching ya keep it up !

Very good video. Im looking at either 2 options can i have your opinion? Im looking at getting one Down4sound LTO 6.0 lithium battery with charger or the xs power titan S5. Im just torn between the 2 because ill need the xs intelli charger if it needs changing. I have a 130ah alt and one run of 0 gauge ofc sky high wire. I have a Northstar sms 80 amg in the back. Im only planning on running 1000-2000rms but my voltage is dipping to 11.5v sometimes . I see people say these batteries are ok if you charge under 14v and i charge under 14v. What about a jy nxt-2kf? Would that help me better and be more cost effective?
@CarAudioEnthusiasts

personally id would run the NXT-2KF if your dips are quick, and if you are dropping voltage and its staying low, you're gonna need alternator upgrading, or a second one

@CarAudioEnthusiasts Thats what I was thinking. Do I need to be as cautious with cold with the cap? I still want to be able to run my system in the winter and here in Chicago gets very cold. I never had a problem with any agm but I just don't want to take any chances. I'd ratehr stick with a battery or option that has a less likelihood of catching fire due to condition fluctuations. I haven't been in car audio in like 8 years and I just want to ask the proper questions to catch up to speed. I appreciate your answer and honestly.

C Rating does not mean " Constant" it means Capacity. So if you have a 100Ah Lithium battery is that is rated at 1C that means it can push out 100AMPS or 1 times its capacity, if its a 2C rating, it means it can push out 200 AMPS or 2 times its CAPACITY and so on.. Its a bit scary to know that people mess with this powerful cells and do not understand the fundamental workings of them. But I digress, Be careful everyone, Lithium batteries pack a big punch, AGM Batteries do not have a C rating, they are rated the same as a lead acid, in regards to CCA, they are improperly labeled by B companies to try to make people think they are high capacity batteries. For example in an AGM Battery that someone says is 100AH, you can only safely discharge 50% DOD so you really have 50AH. and its not a constant steady voltage either, like Lithium Cells. The Type of Lithium cells I am speaking about are Lifepo4. (Lithium Iron Phosphate). Do your own research on spec sheets, do not trust someone on you tube unless they are reputable in knowledge of such high powered cells.

Thanks! my intention was to get people talking about this, and it worked! I am still trying to wrap my head around the details of Lithium, but I DO have experience using them, my mistakes and all, including the fire that nearly burned my tahoe up and possibly could have burn down my home. I had researched for over a year, before getting into headway cells, and missed the tiny details that were important. no one talks about the dangers, so folks dont get that info. they just see cheap power storage. my objective is to make the dangers known, along side the advantages. if i failed at using the nomenclature so be it, people will comment and correct me, those who need to learn, will read and learn. those who DONT read the comments, will still have a healthy respect for Lithium cells.

I've been through battery after battery everything from XS power to jag35, battery hookup and my most recent purchase is miles ahead of anything I have had yet I have a 29AH SCIB bank from NORTHWEST LITHIUM and all I can say is it's a MONSTER FR FR the power delivery and recovery rate is by far second to NONE I can't believe I wasted all that money on bandaids temporary fixes that barely kept the voltage steady if anyone is looking for a one stop shop battery to power your system, LED, accessories, the car itself everything and keep the voltage up go SCIB you will never look back and the recharge rate is so fast you don't need multiple alternators to achieve the same results

its great that you found a solid battery, good deal man! just keep in mind a battery cannot create power, if youre pulling more than the alternator is making, you will eventually drop voltage.
