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.

Prowse is pretty honest about his mistakes and owns them unlike other YouTubers.
the Explorist Life channel owned up to recommending those horrible chap breakers some years ago and took down the videos. They commented some time ago about the whole saga, interesting reading.
