45AH CMAX BANK PACKAGE:
45AH CMAX BANK PACKAGE:
A $649.99 hand-built lithium bank deserves better than a "hook it up and hope" install. The 45AH CMAX bank from Vibration Audio (Austin, TX) supports 8,000 to 15,000 watts depending on your alternator — tested and clamped at 15.5V with minimal voltage drop. But lithium doesn't forgive shortcuts that lead-acid let slide. This book is the complete install package: everything around the bank, done right.
The 45AH CMAX Bank Package covers the battery delete (required — lead-acid and lithium can't share the car), alternator pairing for each power tier (200A vs 300A, charge-wire sizing, fusing the charge wire), mounting the 23-inch bank on wood or acrylic so it can never move or touch metal, the BMS chapter (what it guards, why CMAX cells demand one, and where it sits in the circuit), the full front-to-back wiring layout with run counts by current, fuse placement at both ends of every positive run, copper ground bus bars, fused distribution for the amp feeds, holding 14.8–16.6V charging voltage, the complete shopping list with realistic cost estimates, the ten-rule "do NOT" list, and three case files of bank installs gone wrong.
Twenty-two pages. Two code-drawn diagrams: the complete wiring layout and BMS placement. Zero affiliation — this is an independent third-party guide from a builder who runs this bank, written to keep your $650 bank alive for years.
