You don't get enough credit for all the work you od for folks testing & reviewing these. Thanks

[sbouchillon]

I am 76 and I have been watching your channel for over 10 years, back in your van days. You are quite a remarkable young man. I pattern all my off grid systems after you. Eternal thanks.

[linr]

Bought a Vatrer using your link after watching your video. Came today, LOVE IT! They did listen to you btw. Came with very heavy duty hard foam protecting the connectors. They entire unit was well protected. As good as our other eg4 or even better.
Thank you!

[MikesGarageRoute]

I was fortunate enough to pick up 18 of these and they actually have EVE cells in them. Luckily all 18 of them came in with no damage. Thank you for the great video review!

[gridlessbob]

Thanks Will.
I have been off-grid for the last 18 years using (32) 6v golf cart batteries. I recently swapped them out for 8 of these Vatrer batteries and am very pleased. No more acid smell, holes in my clothes from acid, and adding water to 96 cells every month.
You can see pictures of my old setup of golf cart batteries and my upgrade to Vatrer batteries in review section for link Will put up on Vatrer site for this battery.
I would recommed these batteries for off grid. I also put a Vatrer 36v battery in my golf cart about a year ago and put a solar panel on roof and have been pleased with that too.

I've by no means watched every solar based YT channel out there, but out of the two dozen or so I have stumbled across, yours is hands down the best! Well spoken, concise and yet, down to Earth and relatable. I sincerely appreciate all the time and effort you put into your content.

[danakaiser]

I have 4 of the 15 cell 48 volt versions. Have been using those for about 2 years and have 3 of the first version 51.2 volt 16 cells using a little over a year. Other than one that came in with a loose bms connection they have worked flawlessly so far. For help from the company it was all emails. But they replied within 12 hours and i was able to work thru the bms connection issue.
At 1 time if you ordered thru their website shipping was free, at time didnt charge sales tax and for new orders had a spin wheel that had discounts that applied to the purchase.

So far i am extremely happy with vatrer batteries

[geraldwatkins]

I love it when the guru is happy. You smiled through this whole video loving every minute of it. Your enthusiasm and attention to detail is definitely appreciated. Things to you, I have been shaving my electric bill down over the past 7 years.

[seeking]

I've been following your videos since you were living in your car. You have a compelling life story and should write about it.

I bought one of these (the blue model) about 6 months ago and with a promo code it was $885 shipped! Amazing! I hooked it up to my system with the 2 GYLL (original EG4 server rack batteries) that I purchased in 12/2020 for $1475 each. It has been running great with excellent capacity and good cell balancing. Having the Bluetooth module is really helpful! Very pleased with it and with 50% more battery capacity! Thanks for the teardown and review.

[jeffharrison]

Good video! The factory probably ran out of H's LOL! 😂

[TheVespape]

Another excellent review Will. Keeping manufactures in line and no B.S. That's what its all about! Well done!

[kelechiuzodinma]

Will is a great man and I so much love his honest reviews. He's my mentor in this field.

I've been waiting to see his review on felicity products

[gefginn]

Will, I just picked up your book. Looks like it will be my go to step by step manual for my own mobile solar power system. Thanks for sharing this knowledge with a non electric guy like me. Huge kudos! 🌞😇

[sherylryan]

You are the Battery Man there is no one else the buck stops with you ❤

[SabertoothGrannytology]

One thing that I wish would get called out more is the Bluetooth security fail. You can shut off the charge and discharge mosfets with any bluetooth battery app. There is no way to enable password protection. This means a thief could turn off your home batteries with any smart phone and disable any security system attached. It is so irresponsible from a manufacturer standpoint that they really deserve some pressure.

[markbennett]

I've been using this battery for two months with no issues. It's powering my Anker Solix F3800 with 3.9 kw of solar.

[RobtTa]

I have been watching your videos for years, so "YES" it's time to join your forum. =)

[quartamile]

Top notch review and education as always, many thanks!
