I'm in Australia and can't seem to find a website to purchase the battle born 12v 100ah. Is there any other batteries that are equivalent and of same quality that I can purchase here in Oz? I'm doing a 48v system and will be wiring them up in series. Any suggestions? 🤔 Thanks.

I purchased a Battle Born back in September after doing quite a bit of research. Much of that research involved watching your videos, reading your book and visiting your website. You were a large part of the reason I went with BB when I purchased my first LiFePO4 battery for my trailer. So far its worked beyond my expectations. Seeing this teardown video reaffirms I made the right decision. Thanks for the work you do. When people ask about the battery/solar/wiring set up I have for my trailer I send them to your website and channel. Thanks Will.

After watching the previous tear downs of the low-end and medical-quality batteries, I was really wondering how one of these mid-high level commercial batteries would fair once shown naked for all to see. It does certainly appear that when it comes to batteries, there seems to be some truth in "you get what you pay for."

@@kameljoe21 that's not the correct way to look at it. They choose the components they use and so choosing a BMS that has that kind of wiring as their specification speaks to the Quality they intended to build into the battery. In manufacturing if you're always trying to save a few pennies eventually it shows in the quality of the product you output. That's why the higher end companies have better reputations because they actually build in quality from the start rather than economy. And again that's not to say that economy is bad but if you can choose a have your gauge wire for a few pennies more and a battery that costs over nine hundred bucks that really doesn't make sense to use the cheaper option

@Timothy Mckee NAFTA specifies a max foreign content of products that are allowed to be traded between NAFTA members without taxing. It's not a free for all to import Chinese goods like you seem to say. Chinese goods are only as good as the company specs. So blame the companies. I tend to stay away from American products based on hawkish attitudes like you just demonstrated. The way the USA has treated her allies is despicable. 2x Afghan CAF vet.

This is a great tear down! We have had Battle Born Batteries in our RV full-timing for over a year now and we have been very happy with them. We actually recently visited the NEW Battle Born Factory in Sparks, Nevada and filmed a factory tour that you can find on our channel. Unfortunately can't quite see the BMS, but you can see their process.

You can buy acrylic sheets and solvent to "weld" the pieces together and build your own clear case. There's a place in Las Vegas called Welch Plastics that does custom acrylic box fabrication. You could bring the old case to them and have them build you a replacement if you didn't want to build it yourself.

I have two of these and every time I look at them the thought of cutting them up crosses my mind. Better you than me. Made clicking the subscribe button worth it. I can also say Battle Born absolutely knows their stuff. Even when I have asked them a question they don't know it has been "Hang on a second" and they are back with an answer or someone who knows the answer. I had one fail 9 months into the install and as soon as they reviewed the video I posted immediately dropped shipped me a new battery. I was down less than two days. I have the Battle Borns married to a supercapacitor bank wired to only my alternator and never run out of power. FULL DISCLOSURE: Not a full-time van dweller. I use it as a traveling office.
