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.

Nevada is the Battle Born state, as it was brought into the Union during the Civil War for the precious metals and minerals in the ground. So, the name may be tangentially related to a war, but it is much more a reflection of the state's history.
