Yeah I’m well aware it’s a Chinese co… as are seemingly 95% of battery makers.
I’m also well aware of some of the shady the practices.
@Will Prowse seems to find some decent and some very good quality Chinese batteries and in fact one of his videos is how I became aware of Vestwoods. It was good quality but was lacking the low temp cutoff claimed. I suppose that could’ve been my clue to stay away right there.
Before I bought I did some research, Vestwoods makes batteries for a lot of applications, not just some random xdjrbti3924xy co as commonly seen on Amazon flipping junk 100ah batteries cheap then disappearing.
I’ve confirmed low temp protection works on my 250ah ultra model works. So at least that’s something haha.
So in your mind is RoyPow / Epoch junk or possibly a fly by night co because they’re from a China?
I’d certainly like to buy everything made in USA, Canada, Europe, etc but it’s simply cost prohibitive for me.
Yes it would probably be a good idea for me to buy and connect a BMV712 or similar and monitor it that way.
