Getting a new 5er soon and strongly considering the Battle Born Batteries. I know there are cheaper ones out there, but these are made in Nevada USA and I’ve heard excellent reports of 1st class customer service and tech support. Also considering adding solar down the road. Anyone tried these?

I ended up getting two 206ah SOK batteries based on Wills review and continued positive comments. Hope to have them soon. Now its time to remove the vents from my battery storage.

Given the power density of batteries and the danger of a fire in an RV, I'd never buy a cheap off-brand.
The only reason I mentioned this battery is because it got a very high rating from Will Prowse. $399 100Ah 12V "Zooms" LiFePO4 Battery Review
If you have not seen any of his YouTube video you need to know that he has been evaluating and testing solar equipment for over 4 years. I trust his opinion.rlw999 wrote:

The first test he did shorting the termanals, which did nothing aside from melt the termanals, would have caused a lead acid battery to expload.
Concur !
This is why a fuse should be as close as possible to the positive terminal on the battery and the positive post needs additional protection.
