    Epoch Batteries

    So another thing I've learned about this stuff is that a lot of these companies provide warranty support through the distributors, for instance Victron, if you need help they just send you to whoever you bought it from. Not really an Epoch issue, as you said, just something you have to look out...

    Epoch Batteries

    So to be clear there is no issue with the battery, the battery has been solid in my few days of testing, the issue is entirely with the warranty registration process and a realization that if something were to go wrong down the line then I'm on my own. My biggest piece of advice is that if you...

    Deciding to DIY my solar battery was one of my worst mistakes ever

    Oh man, don't remind me! IRQ conflicts were a thing back then, dip switches on HDDs(which still exist but almost everyone uses SSDs now, outside of enterprise stuff.) Ribbon cables, blah. But I think the worst thing from that era was Windows Millenium.

    Epoch 300AH Heated?

    My only suggestion is that you buy these batteries from someone other than Epoch themselves, the batteries are good, but the support is non existent. Don't expect these to have any warranty whatsoever. see my post here: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/epoch-batteries.80671/

    Shout out to Current Connected!

    I just wanted to leave a positive review for Current Connected, they truly deserve their incredible reputation in my opinion. They always pick up the phone, are extremely knowledgeable and today they went above and beyond to help me correct a mistake I made, they literally stopped an order I had...

    M8 terminals on new ECO-WORTHY 12V 100Ah Lithium Iron Phosphate LiFePO4 Battery question

    5/16 inch = 7.9375 mm M8 = 8mm They are interchangeable in practice, for connecting terminals at least. There is a thread on the topic here: https://diysolarforum.com/threads/does-a-5-16-ring-terminal-or-lug-fit-on-an-m8-stud.8840/

    Deciding to DIY my solar battery was one of my worst mistakes ever

    No I get that, building a computer is easy, I didn't mean to compare the complexities, but the broad strokes of it all. But with the amount of time you've spent, I bet you've learned some stuff along the way, so maybe not a complete waste of time :)

    Deciding to DIY my solar battery was one of my worst mistakes ever

    I think it's more of a hobby for people rather than a means of saving money, I've never built a battery but used to build computers, I wasn't really doing it because I wanted to save the 10% or so, I did it because I enjoyed it. I'm building my first power system right now, and while I know it's...

    Epoch Batteries

    I just read a bit more into their warranty policy, and the only way to submit a warranty claim is here: https://www.epochbatteries.com/pages/warranty-claim but that just returns a 404, again this company seems shady... "To submit a warranty claim, please contact the original place of...

    Epoch Batteries

    Has anyone successfully reached them? I've sent 2 emails(one two weeks ago, and one 4 days ago) that have gone unanswered, I've called their number, nothing. If you read the fine print of their "11 year warranty" it actually only applies if you register the product within 60 days, but the...
