More volts = more power for some amps...like mine. I decided to run a 14v battery bank that charges at 16.5v because i want that extra power (XS Power Titan S6 Lithium). It is so much more fun making my life complicated. I could have just used normal 12v batteries and been done already. What fun would that be?

Don't forget to start at the beginning of this build playlist so you don't miss out on any fine details. There is LOTS of them!

Anyhow, the entire point of the step down box is to bring that 16.5 charging voltage down to something the Escalade won't mind, such as 14.x or so. The rest of the system can enjoy the benefit's of the extra power while we trick the caddy into thinking nothing has changed. Unlike my Tahoe (see previous video's), i can't run it balls to the wall at 17v (the entire truck). I don't think it will like it too much. The older Tahoe don't mind but then again, that was 2001. This is going in a 2015. The soon i will be controlling the alt and deleting the 12v battery and replacing it with this, which happens to be the proper replacement size. Hang tight, watch me do what i do. Thanks for joining me on this epic journey if you are! :)
