From the Redodo website :
【Twice the runtime of AGM battery】It features a lithium battery with 1280Wh energy, 1280W power output, almost twice the runtime of an AGM/SLA battery (Because the depth of discharge of the AGM is only 50-70% at a 1C discharge rate).
【The most cost-effective LiFePO4 battery on the market】 The cost per kWh over the life cycle of Redodo 12V 100Ah is $0.07/kWh [$359.99/(1.28kWh×4000 Cycles)], less than half the price of other brand battery.
【1/3 Lightweight】 It weighs only 25lbs and has a tough strap handle for easy carrying.
【Grade-A cells with UL certificate】 The superior quality ensures Redodo LiFePO4 batteries provide 4000+ cycles & a 10-year lifetime. We offer a 5-year warranty and a lifetime of technical support, which makes your Redodo batteries worry-free for years to come.

Good god man, I never did find a conclusion, just blabbering, and blabbering about why you are blabbering. Did you ever get to a point about the battery? I missed

I bought this 100AH battery when it was still Zooms before the name change. I got a couple 100 watt 12V solar panels and a West Mountain Epic Powergate to charge it and provide power to my FTM 400XDR at home. It has been 8 months since I used the Astron power supply I have. Even without the good sun I'm days and days on 2 M - I love it.

Sean, you give all the info in your Videos to the Hams. the ones who do all the complaining are those "Hams" that say "I-Know-It-All" (B#$L S@#t). You do not need to go into depth on that battery. You know me & I've been a Ham for 42 years & I'm still learning, you never should stop improving your knowledge on any subject.

I just picked up 4 of them and did a video of the build. I got great response from the company also. I thought I got a good deal at 269.00 but they just went on sale for 255.00. So far I’m impressed with the company.

I like seeing all the battery content and testing by hamtubers lately! Thank you for doing this, it's super helpful. Will be interesting to see how it goes over the next year!

[hamradiohef]

TO, I love the pace and info in your videos. Never felt “long-in-the-tooth” to me. I think you do great! Oh, and looks like a great battery. Might get a few. Thanks!

[aaronlindemann]

I got one of these and it’s worked great. I’ve been so happy with it.

[ScoutPortableRadio]

PLEASE keep you videos "long and drawn out." You put a ton of effort into them, and the effort shows because they bring value to people who are truly interested in the ham radio gear you are reviewing.

[don_nskt]

Thanks. Great review and this may be something I need. I am trying to outfit my Van as a camper and this may just do the trick.

[thonasklune]

Don’t listen to the haters. You have a great channel. Keep up the good work and 73 from W0ZRK

[ryanhorn]

Long and drawn out? Lol your videos are informative and entertaining as always! Sure you arent reading ham radio crash courses comments?? 😂🤣😂. Im messing with you, love his videos as well. Both of you keep up the great work.

[robmcguinness]

Unfortunately you cannot get to the battery web page in Australia, strange they won’t sell to OZ were even closer to China 😢

[TonyHoldenEsquire]

Keep your style of video the same as it has been. I'd like to see LiFePO4 batteries become available in the UK at good prices.

[spasmonaut]

Has it been one year yet? I'm in the market for a couple of batteries this size to upgrade from lead acid for my shack

[aaronlindemann]

There is a line in click bait thumbnails and that one crossed it. I liked the video though!

[alanb]

10 volts, not 10 amp hours (test termination). :)

[henry]

There's a difference between a true "long and drawn out" babbling video with a preamble that's saying nothing useful or is repeating useless commentary before it gets to actual content, and one that contains useful content that happens to go long. Yours are definitely the later and not the former... don't change a thing. Appreciate the test, since I'm in the market for a good LiFePO4 battery for off grid applications.

[DonzLockz]

Good test and battery. Go to bed next time!😄👍

[DonDegidio]

Hi Sean,
Great video. Stay safe. 73 WJ3U

[jasonbroom]

The main take-away I get from your video is that you don't know the difference between amp-hours and voltage, which really brings into question how much stock any of us should put into the testing you did. Also, the "NOT 100 AH.." title is click-bait at its finest. The last thing I'll mention is that some videos are thorough, yet concise. The feeling I get from this video is you're presenting it as though the viewer is completely uneducated about...well, anything. Given that your target audience appears to be HAM radio operators, I find that an odd choice on your part. Most guys with the grey matter needed to run a HAM radio are technically-inclined and pretty intelligent. For that demographic, this video could have been about half the length, with more specific information. I'm not sure if you could have done that, but what you're claiming is "thorough" felt an awful lot like being talked down to.
