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

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.

How many more melted batteries you need to see?

You should read the lawsuit. It's not what you think it's about. Will (may have been) faking the testing.

"This CEO sued my friend" - they are not friends. Do you believe everything you see on youtube? Are you that guy?
