fred-j34 · Jun 23, 2024

Crazy times show this guy some support, He tested DCS Lithium batteries for 3 years and now has been hit with a Defamation lawsuit for reporting his issues. I wonder if Will ever faced something like this?

DEEP CYCLE SYSTEM [DCS] SUES ME FOR DEFAMATION

wpns · Jun 23, 2024

I’m sure they will argue that it’s a trade secret that their batteries are crap.

Warpspeed · Jun 24, 2024

Truth is the usual defense against litigation.
Very effective too.

Saw this post, checked out the guy and noticed that he posted an update and somehow DCS managed to make themselves look even more sketchy as they have...

*checks* Demanded that he edit his gofundme and patreon and remove his video requesting donations, because they say he's not allowed to mention DCS or that they are suing him, and if he doesn't do that they will seek a court order.

Here's the update video:

Never heard of DCS before but wow, they're doing a great job. They're making the Aliexpress lfp cell sellers look downright good, scary days.

So it looks like "Deep Cycle Systems Pty Ltd" have jumped the shark and are trying to put the truth back in the genie bottle. They must have really lost their minds if they think taking legal action against a reviewer they sent batteries to review is going to help with their reputation which seems to be diminishing with each passing day.

Yeah, but they are golden if no-one ever finds out about it. Which is what the second demand is about. Idiots. That kind of activity just gets more notice (as in this case).

There's some weird laws in Australia, not as many rights as the USA. Who knows if that's possible (they had laws where you couldn't name rape suspects in some states etc).

I can see that, if they're still only *suspects*.

The whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing.

kinda makes what Sun Fun Kits did to Ray builds cool stuff seem like child’s play.

Update #3 on this case.

More proof of the lies and deception by DCS.

kommando · Sunday at 6:18 AM

When in a hole stop digging is good advice, DCS seem to think that does not apply to them.

IGBT · Sunday at 7:17 AM

I wonder why you would need to turn off comments for legal reasons? I can see why you should not respond to comments, but how is a comment made by some random user applied to this defamation case?

Confirmed by the legal counsel to turn comments off mate. I don't know why.

Maybe he should do a review to see if alloffroad findings were accurate?

No idea how the Australian law system works but if his findings are accurate would that prove that it's not deformation and a counterclaim could be on the cards?

Will is pretty much on the ball as far as proving the science when he tests batteries does that stop any possible deformation claims in the US?

@Will Prowse

Make it so!!!

Will Prowse · Monday at 5:58 AM

Holy cow!! That's scary!

And yes as long as you're honest you're good. I've been threatened many times by companies but they can't do anything because my evidence is on the videos I post.

My mom's family lives in Australia and that place is going down hill. Their government is a joke. This story does not surprise me given all the other things going on there

Partimewages · Monday at 6:07 AM

Sounds like protection for corporations

Its nowhere nearly as bad as in the US, but we are catching up fast.

This is all just a pretty big case of the
Streissand Effect.
Because no offense to this guy (https://youtube.com/@alloffroadau?si=kq-OwwzPAZkjw7bZ) I hadn't even heard of him, so if the DCS company hadn't tried to go after him I likely would've never seen any of his videos or even know there were issues with their products.

Now they're doubling and tripling down on it and wanting all mentions of their name and their litigations removed, as of that would ever work in their favor.

Will Prowse · Monday at 10:46 PM

I will make some videos on these batteries. Just reading about the issues people are having is making me excited. These are the types of batteries I LOVE

Look at these prices! Who would buy these:

All LFP Batteries

I have learned more about what is going on and it is concerning. I will not have an opinion on the case or how Australia's courts work... but I will absolutely tear into every battery they sell and see how well they work on camera.
