Well done! Can't wait to see the testing results. Exciting times!

[scottiffanimccord]

I think this is one of your best videos for teaching new bass heads how to start off any new build. Remember kids it takes power to make power. P.S In most applications this would support up to a 5k on a stock alternator with the big 4 done. Thx DiY guy!

[girthquake]

This is awesome!!! Thank you for looking out to us fellow bass heads!

[DemonOfFury]

Great content per usual. Thanks for your time and a huge thank you for the video!

[brian]

Great how to vid. Can't wait for the next one. 😎👍👍

[Todd_G_FPV]

That is a beast of a battery! Would love to have one for a battery generator!

[MannyGunzz]

Thanks for the info, imma order that battery from D4S... Awesome info

[briantownsend]

just ordered one of these up, price is now $250 but your coupon code still works, thanks Justin love watching your vids and I'm bummed out when you and Nick dont stream on Mondays. Keep up the good work and Bass on

[ginovannelpawiroastro]

Thanks for this video... just what i needed..⚡⚡⚡💪

[mattstarke]

Great vid, I was looking for a cheaper battery option and this fit the bill.

I just placed an order for one using your discount code too.

I used to be in the car audio like a decade ago, and I would drive my daily around with like 24 batteries in it. trying to learn about these new lithium batteries, it’s insane how small and weight they are for how much power they have.

[JDMerica]

Great video explaining how to break it all down. I probably should have just gone this route also instead of spending 3x as much putting all the cells in pretty buss bars hah.

[ryurc]

Holy crap, you guys are on to a different level. I've been out of the bass stuff for too long.
I will put it this way, the subs I pulled out of storage were bought from a friend of mine, and they were used speakers in 2005. PBX 12"
I also have a set of Memphis 12" from around the same era.
Unfortunately my vintage amps are long gone, but that's ok. What I'm seeing, today you can make 4x the power from a cheapo Amazon amp, and a reasonable battery setup.

Man I ordered 3 of the cased super beast setups just the other day. Wish I had that code then lol.

[brandenwalrath]

Well i just ordered one! With your code. Thank you! I have two agm xs d3400 and an apex 400 amp alternator. And my taramps smart 5 is still draining the rear amg🤦🏼‍♂️ hopefully this will stop that🤷‍♂️

A (purposeful) dead short with headways never disappoints!

I’m always very careful when assembling/disassembling packs though. I never want to have an accidental short because, if thick enough, it’d probably weld a busbar together in a dead short before melting everything in a shower of sparks.

[JasonWW]

Make sure you don't leave the balancer plugged in once the cells are finally balanced.
Also, you really want to separate the cells and inspect them closely. I had 1 cell that was leaking.
Very nice video. I would add that these cells can run on stock charging systems since 14v is about 80% charge. Max voltage is 14.6.
You also don't want to get them over 150-160°F. So you can't put them under the hood. 👍

[iamadrunkguy]

Great video. Batteries are $4 right now and the 48ah frame with busses is only $7! very affordable!

[thelifeofriley]

Headway is great, but you’re limited on voltage. I’m building a 96ah spim bank for just a little bit more and running 15.5v. All the cells are available at battery hookup and Jim’s machineworx just started selling bars for them. He makes great headway bars too!

[Joe_]

I was arguing with someone about these on one of your videos a couple weeks ago, when you were talking about D4S's lithium batteries.

I said this is the best affordable way to go, with much more output than the overpriced lithium audio places sell.

Project DB makes some really nice bus bars for these cells. Jim works makes some economy bus bars for them as well. Both companies send all hardware needed to hook them all up based on the AH set you buy.

Amazon has 1 1/2" (40mm) heat shrink tubing that fits over these cells perfectly, so you can avoid any arc'ing from vibration on the outter wrapping.


Aliexpress has an empty battery case a 48ah setup fits in as well.
