Welcome to Evolution Lithium, your dedicated experts in high-performance car audio power solutions here in New Zealand. We understand that for serious car audio enthusiasts, whether you’re chasing competitive SPL scores or simply demand pristine sound in your daily driver, the foundation of your system lies in its power delivery. That’s why we specialise in SCiB LTO (Lithium Titanate Oxide) car audio battery banks, meticulously designed to provide unparalleled power, stability, and longevity for your passion.

Forget the limitations of traditional lead-acid or AGM batteries. Our custom-built LTO battery banks, featuring genuine SCiB cells, are engineered to redefine what’s possible for your car audio setup. We don’t just sell batteries; we provide comprehensive power solutions, backed by our expertise and a commitment to quality that’s simply unmatched.

In this guide, we’ll delve deep into the world of SCiB LTO technology, explain why it’s the ultimate choice for your vehicle, and show you how Evolution Lithium can help you achieve the car audio system of your dreams.

Why SCiB LTO is the ultimate choice for your car audio battery

When it comes to powering high-demand car audio systems, not all batteries are created equal. You need a battery that can handle extreme discharge rates without voltage sag, recharge rapidly, and offer a lifespan that far exceeds conventional options. This is precisely where SCiB LTO technology excels.

Unmatched performance and stability

Our SCiB LTO batteries are renowned for their ability to deliver consistent, stable voltage even under the heaviest loads. This means your amplifiers receive a steady supply of power, preventing distortion, protecting your equipment, and ensuring your system performs at its peak potential. Say goodbye to dimming headlights and fluctuating sound quality – with a SCiB car audio battery, you’re in control.

For instance, a 30Ah Evolution Lithium LTO battery bank, with the correct charge voltage and alternator, can comfortably support 13-15k RMS. Step up to our 60Ah battery bank, and you’re looking at powering systems up to a staggering 28-30,000 RMS. This is real-world performance for serious installs.

Exceptional longevity and reliability

SCiB cells are engineered for durability. They offer an incredible cycle life of over 20,000 charge cycles, translating to an estimated lifespan of 20+ years in typical car audio applications. This unparalleled longevity means your investment with Evolution Lithium is a long-term one, giving you peace of mind and consistent performance for years to come.

Rapid charging capability

One of the most significant advantages of LTO technology is its rapid charging capability. Unlike other battery chemistries that require slow, careful charging, LTO cells can accept charge at remarkably high rates. This means quicker recovery after heavy use, ensuring your system is always ready when you are.

Safety and thermal stability

SCiB LTO chemistry is inherently safer and more thermally stable than other lithium-ion variants. This is a critical factor for automotive applications, providing an extra layer of protection and reliability for your vehicle and custom audio setup.

We work with various genuine SCiB cells, including the highly popular 20ah SCiB cells, which we currently have ample stock of. While older cells like the 2.9ah and 6ah are no longer produced, and the 10ah is currently out of stock, we are always innovating and looking to the future, with new 5.5ah cells set to be released next year.

Optimising your SCiB car audio battery installation

Installing an LTO SCiB car audio battery requires attention to detail and a proper understanding of electrical principles. While LTO cells are robust, correct installation ensures optimal performance and safety. Here are a few key considerations:

Proper wiring and fusing

Always use appropriately sized wiring for your power and ground connections. Undersized wires can lead to voltage drop, heat buildup, and reduced system performance. Similarly, proper fusing is critical to protect your battery, amplifiers, and vehicle’s electrical system from short circuits or overloads. We offer a range of high-quality cables and fuses to ensure your setup is both efficient and safe.

Alternator and charging voltage considerations

LTO batteries have specific charging voltage requirements, typically higher than traditional lead-acid or AGM batteries. It’s essential to verify that your vehicle’s charging system (alternator and voltage regulator) can provide the correct voltage for your LTO setup. For optimal performance and longevity of your SCiB car audio battery, we recommend ensuring your charging system can maintain a steady voltage output within the recommended range for LTO cells.

Balancing your LTO cells

While our battery banks come pre-assembled and balanced, maintaining cell balance over time is crucial for the overall health and lifespan of your LTO battery pack. We offer Heltec balancers that help ensure all cells within your battery bank maintain equal voltage, preventing overcharging or undercharging of individual cells. This is a small investment that pays dividends in battery longevity and performance.

Regular checks and maintenance

Even with the robust nature of LTO technology, periodic checks of your electrical connections, fuses, and battery terminals will help ensure your system continues to run flawlessly. A clean, secure connection is a happy connection!
