are you running Battleborn batteries?

so most know I have never been a battleborn fan, not only because I feel they are about 2 to 3 times the price the should be, but I believe in the KISS principle.  They use cylindrical cells, which in all reality have no practical advantage in the RV usage and only minimal advantage in the uses wher ethey would excell.  But, by using 120 cells all soldered or fastened togeather it gives you 240 points of failure just on the battery, a prismatic battery using 4 cells has 8 and is easily reparable in comparason.  

getting away from that I was surfing youtube and there was a headline that caught my eye about issue with battleborn batteries.  this is a video anyone with a battleborn should watch and understand what is happening.  if you don't take it out of your system then at least you know what to look for so when it does happen you can remove it from the system.  it also shows that the design isn't that great, but thats a secondary issue.  the primary issue would to be to keep them from causing a fire if they get to that point.
