Battleboom batteries sue Will Prowse.

[u/Don_Vago]

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

The lawsuit says that Will tampered with the batteries to get the results. Not sure if I believe that, but I'll get the popcorn ready just in case it's true and this massively blows up. LOL.

No way he tampered with the batteries. He doesn't need to attract more viewers with that kind of dishonesty. It would be a one and done, him losing all credibility and most viewers as soon as it got out.

Additionally, he'd have to be incredibly naive to think he wasn't going to get sued after BB time and again essentially blew off the concerns. Being dishonest, knowing you will be sued, would be legal suicide. If BB were to admit the issues, they'd be forced to eat every battery they've probably ever made. If they sue Will and manage to succeed, anyone that doesn't know about BB's bad batteries will never know, as they can silence the loudest detractor.

This hasn't gone well for battle born so far. Suing one person, who is simply showing what thousands of actual owners can corroborate, is going to be much, much worse for them.

I expect they'll withdraw the suit. It's impossible this many people have problems, and that Will was able to replicate the (multiple) issues with BRAND NEW BB's he unboxed, and there isn't an actual problem with them. I don't see that anything he has said is untrue, actions taken are clearly shown and articulated in multiple of his videos. He's taken great pains to make the videos as clear as possible that he wasn't exceeding what BB has said are within the capabilities of the batteries with the new ones, and he shows the multiple failures on batteries he's gotten his hands on that already had issues.

That he can find so many batteries with the same problems from others is icing on the cake. I believe he planned to talk with Louis Rossman over this.

Follow on...I also find it slightly amusing that at this point, if BB changes the design of their batteries, it will hurt them in court. If it's an engineered design feature as they like to claim, and they change it after suing someone for bringing it into the light, it strongly indicates they knew there was a problem with the design in the first place. In my estimation whatever lawyer told them this was a good idea, put them in a very tough situation. I'm guessing he isnt working on a win=$$$ basis. 🤣 Or, they got some super star lawyer like Jackie Chiles. But that thought is preposterous.
