I'm thinking of adding a second 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 to increase backup time for outages. The new 12V 170Ah Power Pack from Big Battery looks like a nice alternative. Any gotchas you see with this power block?

I put in for a pre-order for the 12v 170ah battery.
I saw Will Prowse had this listed on his website. Also techdirectclub.com and bigbattery.com both of these companies have this battery available.
 
Got my order of two of the 12v 170ah power blocks. Did an unboxing vid. I am not a youtuber. There was an excess of glue residue applied to vinyl trim around the fuse box. I guess as an after thought cause the fuse enclosure was a touch bigger than planned.
 
Here is the

Big Battery 12V 170Ah LiFePO4 Power Block is tested ...

 
Would this battery have a 30 day warranty?
This is going to be BigBattery's flagship battery. So they are going to back the battery for any problems. How long now sure? Will Prowse said this battery is a good choice for an economy battery.
 
I just got two of the BigBattery Power Block and both of them looked a little different. I didn't get the rope handles. I got missing screws. Where the fuse box is mine had vinyl trim cause the interior fuse box was too large and smeared with glue around the cover. Sort of like McDonald's burger advertised picture and going to McDonald and getting your burger. Yes this should not hurt the battery's performance. BUT Glad to hear they should do the job and last me a while. Used Will's discount code for BigBattery and it saved me some big bucks. Thanks. I also did an unboxing video on the Powerblock . See what the real world gets.
 
Lithiumsolar just a review and teardown of the Power Block with a big thumbs up.
