Mobile SMD AD-1 Test Bench - 12, 14 and 16v XS Power Battery Bank


Recommended Posts

Ok i figured it was time to build a decent battery bank for my AD-1 amp dyno so i can do some testing. I have been extremely busy lately, but the amps are piling up, people dropping them off, people sending them, and me buying them (LOL wait till you see what i bought :D ). Anyway, i got my XS batteries a few days ago (12, 14 and 16v) but they were crushing the wheels on my plastic cart, and only by the 3rd battery. My cart will have 9 batteries on it.

So here is the pics.

I decided i would have to build it out of steel so i started out with some angle iron. Dont mind the rust, it is just on the surface and i knocked most of it off with a wire wheel.

OH and FYI: IT IS NOT DONE YET! I plan on painting it, adding plexi, mirrors, buss bars, LED's, dedicated 12, 14, 16v chargers, 1 VM-1, 2 VM-1 HV, 1 TM-1, 1 OM-1, 1 VU-Din and a deck.

Something to help with the weight in the middle of the cart.
