Warning: inverters r us and battleborn

[Giuseppe Hardblast]

So I recently bought 2 battleborn batteries from a seller inverters r us on Amazon. They came to me defective. I had them approximately 2 weeks. Inverters r us tried very hard to not honor the warranty. I tried to work with them to troubleshoot the batteries before sending them back and they went so far as to blatantly lie to me to avoid responsibility.  They told me that 13.1v was a full charge and my batteries shouldn't charge much past that. They also said they would charge me a 300$ restock fee. 

I contacted battleborn directly. Thier customer service was above and beyond. They paid to have them shipped back to them. They said the cells needed balanced. Thwy also offered me a siscount on my next purchase. They are currently being shipped back to me. 

Battleborn was awesome to deal with

I do not recommend purchasing from inverters r us.

well bb is probably making 10x by overcharging so they better come thru. my walmarts are 10x cheaper and work just as well. lol

What amp hour battery are you referencing? The smallest Battleborn available at 12V is 50AH. The Vmax Lifepo4 that Walmart sells @50AH is $490.00 (sold as a gen package). And the AIMS Lifepo4 12V 50AH is $549.00.

brahmon, curious which battery your talking about cause I'd be all over something for 1/10th the money or were you talking about the small version?

To the OP, I'd be really leary of spending money for this new tech battery without going through a sticks and bricks with a proven warranty policy. And yes, walmart does at least have that going for it.
