We build every oneof these ourselves.
Advanced Electric is a small, family-run American manufacturer making high-output sodium ion, LTO, NMC and LiFePO4 batteries for competition car audio. Not a reseller, not a rebadger. The packs are assembled, balanced and tested here before they ship.
One thing, properly.
Advanced Electric was founded in 2023 with one goal: cutting-edge, eye-catching and safe batteries for the car stereo market. We started with LTO (lithium titanium oxide) cells — the safest lithium chemistry in the industry — and kept researching chemistries that offer the same level of safety and performance, which is how the sodium ion KILO line came to be.
We make batteries for systems that punish batteries. SPL builds, daily drivers running serious power, shops that need something they can install and not think about again.
That means four chemistries, each with a job, rather than a wall of near-identical SKUs. Sodium ion for the vast majority of builds — safer, with a wider temperature range. LTO lithium for boosted systems running 15.2V and up, where 50C discharge and a 40,000-cycle life are worth the premium. NMC — THE DON — for the highest charging ceiling we build. LiFePO4 — AE LV — for stock-voltage systems that will never see a high-output alternator.
If you tell us what you are running, we will tell you which one — and we will tell you if the cheaper one is the right answer.
Built to order
Sodium packs are made in batches when cells land. You wait, but you get a pack built for you rather than one that sat on a shelf at partial charge for a year.
Actively balanced
Not passive bleed. Cells are held in line across the whole pack, every cycle, for the life of the battery.
Machined, not stamped
Fully machined 6061 aluminium busbars. Lug and direct wire on the same terminal, at the same time.
Tested before it ships
Every pack is balanced and capacity-tested. If it does not meet spec here, it does not go in a box.
How we talk about numbers
Two ratings, both published.
Most battery marketing quotes the biggest number it can find. We publish two, and label them.
Cell Power
What the battery actually delivers at the terminal, before anything downstream touches it. It is the honest ceiling of the pack — and it is the number most brands print on the side of the case.
True Amplifier
Cell power at 80% amplifier efficiency — the power your amps can actually make with it. It is a smaller number and we publish it anyway, because it is the one that predicts what your build will do.
Constant, not burst
We lead every spec with constant output rather than a five-second burst figure. Burst numbers flatter a spec sheet and mislead a build. You play music for longer than five seconds.
Including the unflattering ones.
Ask us a charging question and you get an answer from someone who builds the packs, not a support queue. That cuts both ways — we will also tell you when the problem is your ground strap rather than your battery, and when a cheaper pack is the right call.
Our Support page publishes the charging windows, the failure modes and the safety guidance in full, including what voids warranty. We would rather you knew before you bought.
On lead times
Sodium is built to order and we publish the real date. If it moves, you hear it from us. We do not quote a date we cannot hit to close a sale.
On the water myth
You will hear that you must never put water on a sodium battery. That is true of sodium-metal cells. Sodium-ion contains no metallic sodium and the DOT guidance for both lithium ion and sodium ion is water. We correct that rather than repeat it.
Where to find us
Direct, or through a shop.
