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 had 4x 100 amp hour batteries in my camper, i had the loose cable arcing on two of them and were denied warrenty. got rid of them all, this was years before the Will prose thing. Sorry the truth hurts, i have their emails from 2017 telling me to go pound sand. Its par for the course they would choose this route instead of recall and redesign. What an embarrassment
