AZ BS Thread 4²0

Everyone on the planet seems to have very strong opinions about batteries. Why do you say that about Renogy? I also have their panels and charge controllers in two vehicles and like them. Have you heard of Epoch batteries? Im looking for a Group 31 with 300ah and those two are all i can find.

 

Post #'s 452, 455, and 483 in my build thread linked in my signature cover most of my troubles. Basically a ~6 month slog for a warranty replacement of a less than 3-year old battery. Outdated/frustrating CS to boot. Continuously ignored for long periods of time, only one response from them per day, can only discuss claim through their CS portal (with its terrible UI), etc.

I just saw those Epoch batteries, and I could get behind them, though their 300ah group 31 only has a recommended continuous discharge of 100a, which is too low for my setup. I do not know anything about how Epoch works though.

 

i can agree with Mr E30 on Renogy,,, they make a pretty good product but once in a while you get a lemon, and when you do

they just suck when it comes to customer service and after sales.

 

So, is there a reason very few 300ah group 31 batteries exist? I currently only have a 100ah AGM battery(which is toast) in the coach of my RV so even going to a 100ah Lipo would be an upgrade. I just figured Id go for the maximum I can fit in the space. What brand batteries are you using?
