Lithium has come on strong since my last video but there are still places for lead acid. What types of batteries are available and what factors could sway you one way or the other? And what specific models of battery do I recommend? Watch and find out. #solar #offgrid #battery

Hey love your channel. Cannot find anything online about the RUBIX batteries. Were they just a concept from CES or something?

[@LDSreliance]

They are a joint venture between Ark batteries and MillerTech batteries. They are/were for sale but I do not have them on my website because there is a new generation about to come out and replace the original version shown in the video and pictures. So I am waiting for that before I release any information.

[@mswvette]

I have RUBIX batteries in my RV, Do you have any links to documentation on brand? Mine are 5120Wh 25.6V 200Ah battery packs

[@LDSreliance]

RUBIX is a joint venture between two Amish companies: MillerTech and ARK. Documentation is not their strong suit. But if you send me any questions you may have to [e-mail] I can pass them on to the owners. I will be carrying their (RUBIX) new batteries later this year on my web store and will have more info on those. But the previous versions I'm not an expert on, unfortunately.

My main concern is quality assurance standards of the product itself. So many are Made in China where often such standards are neglected by a variety of manufacturers - some of whom make counterfeit sub-standard copies of quality products.

[@LDSreliance]

Yes, I have done videos on that. It can be very hard to tell but you can be 100% sure you are dealing with Grade B cells and shoddy construction when you are looking at the lowest price. There are no sellers of genuine Grade A cells that are competing for the low price. They are all buying surplus cells and cheap BSM's and throwing them together.

[@powerwall]

[@LDSreliance]

Maybe. Email me at [e-mail]
