Good lord, I'm looking at those 17+ rack mounted batteries and just drooling. I just wish I could afford 5 (currently have 1 and expanding as I can).

[sigbauer]

Never thought I would enjoy watching an 18-minute battery video

[smoovematix]

Very effective, concise and informative. It's a breath of fresh air to see a person who is passionate about something and then delivers quality, edited videos in order to share what is actual helpful and meaningful information. Congrats on your life choices and your vision of how life should be. Keep doin you man cuz it's contagious. :)

[chrisirogers]

Love that you made this. I so could have used something this simple when I was pulling my hair out. Aside from the lack of documentation on the capacitors, Signature Solar has become so popular thanks to your forum and DIYers' recommendations, that I don't know that their staffing is up to the influx of orders. They absolutely did their best to help us make it right after I put my foot down on being overlooked for multiple shipments. We're happy overall.

[bradharber]

People used to look for the Gold Seal of Approval we look for the Will Prowse seal of approval. Thanks man your videos are always so informative. Even when your "it's so easy" makes me say "for you". Thanks🙂

[Swoopfpv]

Thank you so much for continuing to make these videos I can’t tell you how useful this has been I’m about to upgrade my cabin to a house and will be using a lot of what I’ve learned here again thank you so much😁

[erikrummel]

Those Trophy batteries with the heaters are really cool. The RV and off-grid customers should be buying those like crazy!

[thudang]

Totally agree! These need to be manufactured in North America so that we're not as reliant on overseas; you'd think shipping costs alone would make up the difference. But I'm sure it still comes down to labour costs. Thanks for this quick overview!

[jcschwarb]

You're the best Will! Love your helpful videos. You helped me realize we are going into a golden age of offgrid living and responsible sustainable independent living.

[Tim_Gravy]

Will, you are awesome, been following you since your van stuff. Really proud of how far you have gone and cant wait to see where you go. Such a good looking guy with knowledge beyond most 2x your age. Continue your good work, always happy to logging into youtube and seeing a new video by you.

[snawsomes]

This guy is the ultimate prepper of doom on YT. Well done sir.

[grantdeisig]

I have a single 24v EG4-LL, and I love it. I built my own rack and made slots for 3 batteries. So hopefully I can get 2 more in the future.

[markwilliams]

So glad to see you posting again my friend. Was starting to worry about you.

[jamescabaniss]

This might sound strange, but I think a lot of people do not understand what a "Server Rack Battery" is and so they do not bother to click these type of very useful videos. They need to understand it is just a typical shelf (i.e. rack) that holds several batteries connected in series or parallel to provide electrical storage power. A very simple thing. Once they understand, you will get many more hits.
Bty, I love my Dewalt Rack!!!

[SergeantSOLAR]

Great video. Felt like forever since you’ve dropped a video

[KenSorce]

Yeah, Current Connected has OUTSTANDING support. I'm a DIYer in a dinky mountain town so support had a lot to do with purchasing 3 48s. Other contenders fell way short in pre-sale questions and it cost them the sale.

[mendohomepower]

I just stared using the Growatt 48v 5kwh Axe battery through Signature Solar. They are the easiest battery I have ever used. They plug into each other in stacks of up to 10 high. So far so good.

[brianrenner]

He's BAAAACK! I've been checking on the daily for a new video, glad to see one pop up. Perfect timing since I got a cabin recently and am making a plan to use all server rack batteries for the cabin and then the garage I'll be building on the property.

[LithiumSolar]

Wow, that's a lot of rack batteries! Interesting to hear of pre-charge problems with the EG4 - mine worked perfectly with one LV6548 (haven't tried it with two).
