I have a question.. 3 years ago I bought 6 battle born battery's for my new house. It took my remodel 3 years I just opened them up and the shut off at 13.1 and go down to 5.4 volts. I call them and they refused to help in any way. I paid $975 each plus tax. Am I wrong for being piss?

I also bought the 12V 300AH mini battery of Wattcycle and used it in my RV as well. This battery is really small. It looks like it's only the size of a normal 100AH lead-acid battery. However, its capacity is indeed sufficient. There haven't been any problems even after using it for two months.

Nice to see that you reviewed this battery when new. However, Mr. Off Grid from the off-grid mountain homestead has a different opinion on these batteries. He reviews them after he has put them threw several charge cycles. He did a review and it was not good. Apparently, that bms does not keep the individual cells balance. I think he measured them and would have one cell that would top out at 3.65V and the other cells were completely different voltages with the lowest being like 3.4V. At the end, he said that he was going to upgrade the bms to a JK. Something to keep in mind....

I just installed a Siekon 100Ah you checked out and installed it today. plugged it in, 13.2 volts and ran what little DC load I had, one exhaust fan and 3 LED Camper light fixtures, I know, it's not much but it's all that came with the camper. Planning on putting a Max Air fan and my BougeRV 41L cooler in there soon after I get some DC adapters wired in. I think I paid about the same price for that one you paid for this one. I coupled my battery with a 200W Bouge RV Bi-facial solar panel that was around $200 and my Renogy 40A MPPT I already had from previous Solar installation.

Power Queen makes a similar "Trolling motor" battery for the same price (right now) including the low-temp, The main difference is the PQ is group 31 instead of the smaller Group 24 of the Wattcycle. How would you compare the quality of the two? Power queen has been around for quite a while now, and seems to have a lot of great reviews.
