DiBo Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'm making a battery delete because I'm installing an LTO battery bank. Questions are... 1) best ground methods? Do I keep my original battery ground to frame? Do I run grounds from negative terminal to negative on bank? Do I ground alternator casing to bank or terminal to bank? Also I use chassis grounds in the rear of my truck. I've never ran full length grounds. Should I do that now? 2) fuses? Where? Since this is just terminals basically do I still fuse 12" away from delete and 12" away from lithium bank? Fuse 12" away from lithium bank only? I'm basically rewiring my whole setup. Any help is appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDrifter Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Basically you treat where your OE battery was as a distribution block ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackFactory Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Get an empty display battery from a local shop and just put it where your stock battery was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshdashef Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Don’t know if this is worth a look or not but https://diycentralshop.com/product-category/housings/battery-delete/ they have all different sizes for like 50-90 $ but you might find cheaper alternatives else where SMD Tool Map (2022): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/220267-smd-tool-map-2022/ My Port Size Calculator (in progress): https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217087-port-size-calculator-in-progress/ Common Port Walls for a Slot Port: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/217076-common-port-walls-why-it-matters-to-your-box/?tab=comments#comment-3240313 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoni Čović Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I'm waiting for my LTO bank to come. So I have 3 batteries in car.. and I sold under the hood one and all wires from bat negative grounded to chasiss (Alt case to chassi and motor block to chasiss) and took battery out.. and now I have alt noise.. tried everything but it's still there.. Seems like alternator is getting bad or something and I don't know is it from before or now.. I just know when battery was there there was no alt noise on speakers.. Is it possible to have alt noise on speakers if alt is going bad no matter if you have everything grounded propertly or not? (When you don't have front battery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really concerned about it. I'll eventually get a second alt bracket fabricated but until then it's lithium to start vehicle and run system haha.
