Alert Battleborn battery safety alert

[osuallen]

Yes but its a stand alone company. The benefit to Winnebago is access to the technology. So I would guess that if I spec'd out Victron the price would increase over their private label.

My system is also from SES and is very similar to Neals. When I was researching and deciding exactly what I wanted, The 330 AH Victron's were lower $/AH than SES's house brand or Battleborn. However, Victron has a completely different type of construction than SES house brand or BB. To understand pros/cons and differences - Brian at SES is very knowledgeable. There are probably other guys as knowledgeable as him in the RV world, but I have not heard of them.

I went with reviews by people that actually use the batteries. Solar forums are full of them. I got a cheap Chinese battery for less then $200 when BB was $840+. It has been great. Now, I use my battery about like Neal, but that is about to change. I am heading to the Q next week and I have put together a solar setup and probably will need another battery. 930 watts of panel would be a waste with only 100Ah. A new 100Ah from the same company is $240 right now. It is an experiment and I will push them for testing purposes.

Battle Born must hate this guy

Battleborn was at the show at Quartzsite but all the talk was about the "problem" and the "excuse". I think they will go bankrupt. I bought 2 of the Wattcycle batteries he found to be exceptional for a budget battery. Only had them for 3 days but they are working great my

Looked to me at least from the video the fundamental problem he uncovered is in the basic assembly ( loose connections). Not entirely unlike the loose screw problem discovered during the manufacture of the James Webb SpaceTelescope. The problem for both being lose connections 1.5 million miles out in space and loose connections in a sealed case battery are equally unrepairable and equally preventable.
