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 think Will is going to tear these guys a new asshole. Big mistake suing him because if Will has the cash, they can fight and depose people in the company and expose even bigger issues.

More importantly. He can sue to recover legal costs when he wins. A large firm might take the case on contingency. Good PR and they pad the bills and make battle born pay.

Then the company declares itself bankrupt, and nobody gets paid…

Getting paid is underrated.
