Battleborn safety issue per Will Prowse?

Idgie

Is anyone out there following Will Prowse on YouTube about Battleborn battery safety issue of overheating?
I have a 2025 360CS black canyon with standard 100aH Battleborn battery and wondering if this has come up for any nucamp owners?? Thanks!

It has been discussed in several threads.  I've followed it closely at both his web page and the videos.  It is hard to say how many other owners here are following it "closely".  I know if I had a Battleborn I would be looking very closely at the positive battery terminal to look for discoloration, as described in the videos.  

The problem I have for this issue is the difference in how batteries are charged and discharged in a trailer, compared to the charging and discharging rates someone powering a large solar array for a home, for example.  Do we put that much stress on a battery?  Does having the "large" battery setups with the Multiplus inverters with owners running the AC make a difference?  These are hard questions to answer.

What is interesting in the various threads is learning how Battleborn has marketing agreements with major manufacturers across the RV industry, including NuCamp.  Which is why the industry heavily promotes the Battleborn brand. Which is fine.  The question will become what happens if Battleborn no longer supports their warranties in the future, or goes bankrupt.  

In any case, a difficult thing to sort through.

This is one thread:

Have you seen the video with the 270Ah battery.  Seems like same if not worse.  That battery is used with lithium package.  Make your own decision.

I agree with @pthomas745 that most RV users will not stress a 100Ah Battleborn from a charge and discharge perspective like Prowse's testing shows. What is more of a concern is the lack of build quality and vibration resistance (or not) built into this (or any) battery. So inspecting regularly is certainly prudent for any brand of battery.

My other concern is how Battleborn is dealing with valid warranty concerns, which is to offer to inspect if the owner ships the battery back at the owner's expense and then make a determination. For such an expensive battery this is pretty much no warranty at all.
