And I'm getting quite a charge out of following along on all this electricity in the air.

From a silicon error long long ago:

I am Pentium of Borg.

Division is futile.

You will be approximated.

 

i worked at Intel at the time. The above almost got a co-worker fired. Management had no sense of humor.

Another co-worker was threatened with dismissal for asking on an online BBS if the new processor would be named the RePentium.  Engineers thought it funny.

Hey, WATTS UP!? Quick update: battery arrived yesterday, well packaged. I’m going to install it in my ArkPak today and then we’ll see how it compares to the 105ah SLA marine unit I currently have. Hoping for a longer run time and better recharge off my alternator.

The two batteries I ordered were delivered Tursday by Fedex and were well packaged.  Clearly marked Renogy.  Installation next.

Got my battery today.  It was NOT the Renogy I ordered, but a HQST lithium battery that sells for $500 on Amazon.  Very disappointed.  Have sent them an email.........

HQST?! This is starting to sound like a too good to be true kinda deal. Mine should be showing up up Monday/Tues. Can anyone else confirm that they either got a renogy or HQST in their order?

Just called them - went straight to a recording "we are assisting other customers, please email us or call later".  We'll see if they answer their email..........

Full disclosure: there was an “issue” with my delivery, but not with “my” battery. The FedEx guy delivered two boxes, which I thought was kinda strange. I opened the smaller box and there was my Renogy 100ah battery. When I checked the larger and heavier box it did have the yellow FedEx routing tag with my name and address, so I proceeded to open it. Inside…a Renogy 170ah battery. Huh? Before proceeding any further, I rechecked the label. Again, yellow routing tag to me, but the original shipping tag addressed to someone in NJ. Now that’s obviously a FedEx problem, not Battery Hookup. Not a spokesman for BH, just sharing my experiences. Emailed and received an immediate, but incredulous, response. I’m waiting for instructions on how to proceed with this $1500 retail battery. 🤦‍♂️
