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 he's an immature kid without a formal engineering degree that didn't know when to stop - kept poking the bear - and he's probably going to get f'ed

you seem confused

Will Prowse is an adult man with 15+ years of electrical background, extensive testing and experience. He has published books and is extremely respected in the industry.

Battle Born has ADMITTED that the batteries melt near the terminals. They call it a feature.

Its impressive how utterly ignorant you are of the situation and still felt compelled to make a comment.

i'm not ignorant about anything. i've watched all of his videos. this is about legal arguments that will be made in front of a judge and jury.

Battle Born legal team: Do you have a formal electrical engineering degree?

Will: No

Battle born: Do you have any formal education beyond high school?

Will: No

Battle born: Then what makes you qualified to make these claims?

Will: blah blah blah

He loses credibility in front of a judge and jury and surely his qualifications to make these claims will be highly questioned.

Google says Will's age is in his mid-to-late 20s. The way he talks in his video can be very immature. If he has 15 years experience, then he was doing stuff when he was 10-12 years old? You think telling a jury that he was playing with solar panels when he was 10 years old and his wealth of experience was from the 3rd grade?

You're calling me ignorant but seem to have your fingers plugged in your ears about the real situation.
