I just saw this on Amazon and although the price is attractive I am not sold on this battery.
Last year in June I bought my first lithium. I was put onto it by this forum. I got a Mighty Max at $675 from Amazon.
I was happy enough but then I got out on the road and realized that I had only tickled the battery problem and was going to have to beef up storage considerably. So I researched and weighed up the choices diligently. I decided to go mad and spend $900 on a single Battleborn - ouch.
Why?
It was because although MM was $225 cheaper they have no bricks and mortar presence. I wish I had known that before I purchased in June and was mesmerized by price alone. It was a mistake.
If you go to the Mighty Max website their address is nowhere to be seen. There is one of those internal email systems to contact and nothing more. After searching the internet I found their location. It is a small office above a bank (Alma Bank) on the water at the southern tip of Brooklyn. I wrote them at one point and naturally I was ignored.
I found a couple of horror stories about them too. As in take your defective battery to O'Reilly's to have it tested and pay the shipping back to us.
Thank goodness mine has held up ok.
This is why I decided to spend the extra money and buy a Battleborn. I happily found out those folks are all over the customer service angle. It was a pleasure dealing with them.
I will not be buying another Mighty Max or recommend them. With a purchase this expensive I don't do drop ship.
Now I see this new kid on the block - Weize.
CHEAP. 100ah = $600 delivered.
So I did some research. No website and zero information via Google. Just 'you can buy it on Amazon'. It also looks exactly like the Mighty Max with a different label. No website, no address, no phone number, zero way to contact them and nothing about warranty etc.
Not good enough for me.
So my 3rd battery will be another Battleborn. I will just take a deep breath and buy it in the knowledge that there is someone there and an office I can visit if I must. The CEO and the COO can be seen in many videos with prominent YouTube RVers. They are not shy about showing their faces, their factory and talking to you on the phone or via email.
It seems to be a bit of a minefield out there with some of the stuff we need.
Solar panels are another item that needs care. I give a 100% thumbs up for Santan. GREAT people to deal with.
What do you think??
