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 Iโve 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 first test he did shorting the termanals, which did nothing aside from melt the termanals, would have caused a lead acid battery to expload.

To put it in perspective:
A 100Ah 12V battery has around 1.2KWh of energy stored in it, 1 Watt-Hour has 3600 Joules of energy, so 1.2KWh has 1.2 * 1000 * 3600 = 4.3 million Joules of energy.
A hand grenade contains around 50g of TNT, at 4,000 Joules/g, that's around 200,000 joules.
So a 100Ah battery has the same energy as around 20 hand grenades. Granted, the battery is not going to release all of that energy at once, but still, a failure can do a lot of damage.
