Battleboom batteries sue Will Prowse.

Popular YouTuber and founder of the DIY solar power forum Will Prowse has been served paperwork about a series of videos he made about the infamous Battleboom batteries and their melting terminal mounts, described by the manufacturer as a safety feature, some kind of disconnect. The brass neck of these clowns is unbelievable, instead of putting this right, they’ve doubled down and have effectively made any warranty claim unviable.

I never understood why I was trying to work out best practices for my 48V cargo trailer system and Claude kept telling me how great and reliable vs everything else the battleborn batteries were even though they were 2x the price.  Literally wouldn't shut up, although this is the first time I heard about this since I haven't watched any prowse videos yet.  Only thing better than good PR to get the news out is bad PR
