Alert Battleborn battery safety alert

First, it's "hunt". Meantime, not sure what that has to do with the price of eggs in China, besides, which standard? I can claim to have tested anything to any standard and it's not worth the time it took to make the claim. If you want your battery to measure up to UL standards then lose the clever misdirective phrasing and have it UL certified, it's not complicated.

You just proved my point.

The engineer posting a YT video speculating ( lying) that the motivation for Prowse is vengeance and then admitting he intentionally lied, but the rest of the video is however trustworthy should be troubling in itself.

BB is just holding the gates until they can scatter enough money in places the lawsuit and bankruptcy won't find. This issue is going to grow. So glad I could not afford BB batteries, or did not want to afford them for what I am trying to (and have) accomplished for my needs.

I just went to BB's own site and looked up their wire size recommendations. They do not mention damage to a battery from undersized cables, just that the wires may become hot and burn up. The battery should be able to handle its rated load, and not care if the wires burn up. That is why you fuse things, to protect the wires. Never heard of the battery being the weak point intentionally. Plus the stupidity of saying its a safety feature that causes you to throw your battery away. a resettable fuse or replaceable fuse would have preserved the owners investment.

My 2026 coach came with BB Lithium batteries. I am buying a laser heat gun to check temperatures. Where should I target it for over heating? Should I target the positive terminals ? What temperature would be considered dangerous.

The Heat Gun says normal temp is 20 Degrees F above room temperature for electrical outlets.

The whole battery. Will explained that on his the negative terminal heated up and warped. Some of the batteries had hot spots in the battery packs themselves. Look for a discoloration in the epoxy around the lug. Keep the lugs tight if you have never checked them.

Watch a couple of his older videos and see where the problems were positioned in the battery when he cuts them open.
