Expensive versus inexpensive lithium batteries

[Mark G]

I think I've read all the battery threads here but I didn't see this discussed. What's the difference between a premium battery like Battle Born and the inexpensive ones on Amazon?

From other members experience here (especially with LiTime batteries) it seems that you get what you pay for. Have you checked out Will Prowse's youtube videos? He has torn many batteries apart and given us the low down. I have BB batteries, and would buy them again.

Thanks Vic.

Will Prowse was enthusiastic about the SOK lithium battery when we were switching to lithium. It's worked great except for the phone app feature that reports the state-of-charge (SOC for the SOK -- confused yet?). We added an inexpensive shunt to our electrical system and ignore the phone app SOC numbers, and the battery has worked flawlessly for 1.75 years. That's not a long time... it had a long warrantee from Current Connected though. SOK supposedly has fixed the SOC feature.
