Video summed up:
Will: I have years of experience with various Battery chemistries, their charging cycles, cell degradation and have read into a ton of literature. Additionally I have tested countless different BMS and know exactly what to look out for.
People with 5min google knowledge: „NO“

[garystone]

Finally. The trolls get called out by name and take a hit.
Well done Will Prowse, well done.

[ParamotorPrattville]

Great rebuttal to these misplaced comments. So many folks are quick to correct when they have partial information. I appreciate your thorough understanding and help clarifying these folks erroneous information.

[bretebey]

This is the perfect level of 'face planting' that our society needs more of these days. You're not being outright mean or nasty, but nor are you subscribing to the overly gentle politically correct agenda that continues to allow people to remain misinformed and thus continue to misinform others. You're a beacon of light. Keep it up!

[kenjohnson]

The calmest "AHWWW HELL NO!!!!" i ever seen, keep up the good work and research you do for the rest of us.

[pstearns]

Honestly, as a new guy to this stuff, I appreciated this video because it addresses some of the issues people bring up that I have not read in any literature. But they are self proclaimed experts. I don't have the knowledge to dismiss their claims so seeing this helps people like me remember that everyone thinks they're an expert until they meet a real one. Thanks Will.

[tracythorn]

Answered with logic and reason, not emotion. Well done.

[dodgeguyz]

How Many you tubers call Out there commenters/subscribers? Gotta love this guy and how he is serious about what he does. No BS here!
Keep it up Will!

[patrickgreene]

You are so kind. That was the most gracious debunk I have every witnessed. Thank you! Civility is not dead.

[ChrizzlyUniverse]

Hey Will, first of all: Really like your videos, how you explain things and bring the important bits and pieces to the viewer! As a doctorate student in the field of safety of lithium ion batteries, I can affirm that you do have a good understanding and structural approach on the topics. Built my own small solar farm (as a hobby the past weeks) and was lucky to find your channel, especially about some stuff where I needed more info on (MPPT vs PWM, real life data on inverters etc). For the C-rate topic: The rated nominal capacities for cells are measured for a certain current/C-rate, of course with a higher discharge current the capacity decreases slightly due to the DC-IR drop, but I think you also mentioned this.
Keep it up, you're putting out great content and dont let those comments get you down!

[toddwmac]

Love seeing guys that just got into this topic because of their e-scooters and new RVs pushing back on guys that have literally lived this specific topics for years. Keep it up Will!!!

[randomtraveler]

Your methods are sound, proven and consistent. The findings are easily repeatable, good scientific methods applied here.
I trust your findings, as I have seen your earlier videos where you have honed your methods.
You are my "go to guy" for allthings solar.
Keep up the good work.

[Bum_Hip]

Ignorance in a comment section? NEVER!!! 😂😆🤣

"Please Substantiate Your Claims With Evidence" - Will Prowse, September 2020 - Amen Will, amen!

[aquarionho]

LOL. I’ve been using LiFePo batteries for 10+ years. You got it all solid.
Keep cruising
😎👍

[NealHill]

Will you rock! The minute I saw your first video, I was like: THIS GUY HAS DONE HIS HOMEWORK AND CONTINUES TO DO HIS HOMEWORK! You are humble, funny, accurate, up front but also and more importantly HONEST! People who truly follow you get what you're about, enjoy all of your work, and appreciate what you're contributing. You've taught a lot. Keep up the good work.

[dominicprezwanski]

You’re getting so big, you’re gonna get a ton of “experts” chiming in. You’re an eccentric man which makes you so captivating and refreshing from the rest. Your methods and knowledge is sound.

[peterj]

Not only do your comments make sense from my own research, they also accord perfectly with my real world experience using this battery chemistry. You are simply doing these tests with a lot more precision. Top work. I’ve just become a fan of your channel.

[rickhunt]

I'm going to tell you strait up what I like about what you're doing. You have facts and you're not expressing an opinion, and when you do give an opinion, you say its an opinion. A fact can't be disputed. It stands on its own merits. I never argue with my opinion because my opinion is worthless. Only the facts matter. The worse thing someone can do is to try and provide credibility to their argument by telling me they are an EE. and they know what they are talking about. I will relish the opportunity to tell them they should seek compensation for their lack of an education. Disputing the manufactures recommendations and specifications isn't smart unless someone can show test data measurements that conflict with the manufactures data sheet. The only exception to this is UL laboratories safety recommendations, if there are any. They have the final word and shouldn't be ignored under any circumstances.
