Its nice that you go back and add notes to some of your older videos... on your website people will quote your videos as if you are godlike and then we have to tell them that you need to go watch a video 3 or 4 later where WILL may have modified his opinion of doing this or using this ... by you going back and updating them NOW with the most current info you are saving allot of ppl heartache that don't watch ALL your videos but only the one ... (I hope that all makes sense) ... and YEP right after you mentioned these batteries - literally an hour later - the prices literally doubled and has been that way for at least a year ...
Everybody seems to be saying,"dirt cheap" lately.
EXACTLY how much is "dirt cheap"?
EXACTLY!!!??
I don't know about your income level, but that link references a 100Ah battery on Amazon for 580$. That's very expensive for me. I will just stick to other and cheaper battery types.
Hi Will, the Valence batteries are Lithium Iron "manganese" Phosphate, how are they different from LifePo4?
@@ronaldsandstrom1570 half the price of a battleborn. Maybe a little more. Depends on what you need
Knew nothing about solar until I found your channel. thank you so much. Just 100 Watts on my minivan, but it's all I need so far.
Awesome!!!
@@WillProwse Sir can you please forward me your contact information in regards to a best choice.

Hey Will, just wanted to THANK YOU for all the help you have provided me through your videos! I've learned a lot from you this year. I did covert my RV to lithium and could not have done it with your help.
Your excitement is so moving, keep your enthusiasm going. I am so thrilled to see young people tackling technological challenges to improve the quality of life.
As an Instructor, it is always an awesome sight when you see a student, who really wants to absorb, learn, and experience a learning situation. At the end, you were so "stoked" and with a smile from side to side about what you just learned, I search for people who want to learn as you do. Cool Beans, my kids would say.
Cheers, Greasemonkey.
Were you half as bright as this kid is when you were his age? He really seems to know his stuff.
@@amywalker7515 oh, he is a genuine genius, I'm sure his IQ is so far off the charts , it's unbelievable
Since the pandemic I seen that we lost alot of schooling, I'm proud to be his student.
So are you filming in a motor home or trailer? Hope your parents are paying you to upgrade their RV. Lol, jk it’s yo look young for your depth of knowledge. Nice vid kid.

Thank you for all of the videos you have posted. It’s a real help for those of us that don’t have an advanced degree in batteries lol. I’m sure you get pestered by people that are clueless and genuinely need assistance but they typically don’t understand that you have hundreds if not thousands of people all clamouring for your attention lol. Again thank you for helping out the solar/battery/off grid community by posting such excellent videos.

Thank you for your video, audio, tutorial, clarity, simplistic & non

Awesome video
Will, An interesting tidbit of information that I learned about having these batteries hooked up to an isolator. My regular battery in my 2018 Ford Transit mid roof van started conking out on me. It was showing signs that it needed replacing. Little did I know that if I turned on the isolator the engine would start off of 2 of these valence batteries that I have running off a 190 watt solar panel that is running a Natures Head toilet, a 12v ICECO fridge and 2 MaxxAir fans. These batteries that you suggested have been a Godsend. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and education people like me about these types of things. You are truly a blessing. Have a great day!
Another Quality video Will!
Thanks for all the work and detail you put into your videos!
The Sultan Of Solar saving us money, keeping us ahead of trends and pre-testing products, allowing us to buy online with more confidence. Everyone check out comments because Will answers many questions but look for already answered questions first. Thanks Sir.
Hail to the Sultan !
I really enjoy your shows. They are very informative and follow an understandable flow of logic. Great editing and content too!
Wow now that information truly helps me. I am in the first of a four step disease actually almost to the second phase this disease is slowly killing me without any chance of survival. Anyway I am doing all I can to learn solar and wind so I can start buying components to build our own solar system so my wife has her own power and doesn't have to rely on traditional power that's very expensive in our area actually the most expensive in the country so yes I am making sure we do break free of this thieves while I am able to do so. Your making this so much easier and better everybody wants to sell a bunch of crap and never actually help figure anything out myself. A great big thank you. I will be buying your book and watching every one of your videos. What a blessing!!
Love your channel! It's so nice to see all of these tests done by someone with a clearly impressive knowledge base. You're my hero
You thinking he is right and smart, just because he is smarter than you...doesn't mean he is correct
I just started watching your videos. They are very informative and fun to watch. Thanks so much.
Thanks to this video I got myself 2 Valence U27-12XP for $925 locally. These are 138aH so essentially around 3500wh for the pair. Love these, works great. I actually had reserved an Eco AC200 for $1199 but I canceled that.
I'm a mobility scooter user in Ireland also an experienced lifelong engineer. Respect Sir! And a big thank you.
I have that same exact inverter I bought off Amazon sometime ago I’m thinking maybe five years ago or more,,, so far it works I haven’t used it heavy however I have used it usually to run my refrigerator

I truly will never tire of these videos
Ok you got my subscription, I can learn quite a bit from this guy. I live in a Travel Trailer and want to hook up solar power on top.
One video turned me into a fan. Nice work DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse. Well done without the usual fluff...super informative and I love the energy. Ive "Liked" the video and you've certainly earned my subscription. Look forward to seeing more. Peace!
Same here. One video and I too am hooked on his/this channel. 👍
I like you are testing these batteries for us. I tried to build a system, back in 1014. I was in Saskatoon, and only one battery shop was available. I did not buy any batteries as expensive. Your video is extremely, valuable.
Just bought some for a van conversion hoping to end up with enough to run an induction cook top and a 12v fridge/freezer. This is the best video I have seen to get affordable power for a budget van build. The fact that they are used only makes me happier. I saw some that are damaged and the cords are cut it would be nice if you bought some of those and repaired them.
Thank you, I'm researching into long-term boondocking options and I fully understand that this was a simplified version review. I have an electromechanical background but solar is new to me. Safe travels bud 👍
Congratulations on reaching 100k! I turn my back and look what happens! Will, you SO deserve reaching this milestone. You're such an asset to the vanlife community. Thanks for all the hard work you do making solar something we can better understand.
More youtubers need to cut to the chase like you did in this video and the most important part was communicated well before the 9 mins was up. But your enthusiasm is infectious so I watched 'til the end. Nicely done. I'm tired of sifting through 20 minutes of blabber for 15 seconds of content. Keep it up!
I love your presentatIon THEN BOUIGHT THE AMPERETIME 200 as you suggested. I am right now testing it at 9600ft in the Rockies. I have watched many of your infos and love em all. Your a good teacher, gave me confidence to take on a bigger system.
Thanks

I viewed this between 230pm and 330pm on Tuesday and Ebay only had 1 battery left at a decent price...while I was getting myself together,,,it sold....wow...
Damn you Will, anything you test and get excited about, sells out and the price goes up!.
Ty Will... i have been wanting to switch from lead acid to lithium ion for some time, & i always seem to be a day late & a dollar short... your videos are always clear & informative, time saving, & $'s saving... thanks again...
You are just awesome! Thanks for all you work and passion!
Will, you should assemble LiFePO4 batteries with BMS and sell them. I'll buy them because I trust your work.
Agreed, every time you build something in a vid, u should definitely sell it
I agree and see your point, but perhaps for him it's not about the $'s, but more staying informed and educated. After all, money is still, just a piece of paper, knowledge however, you can't place a value on.
Just my 2 cents. I don't know him, but I have followed his vids and have enough confidence, through his "practical" testing to believe that he understands the technology to know what he's saying.
@ that's unfortunate. I moved around 10 yrs ago to a country in Europe. I say that to say that furthing your education in this region is encouraged and not looked at as a money maker. They, well most countries in the EU, look at it as, the more and better educated our next-generation is, the better our country will do in the future. Universities and colleges in the country I live in are cheap. In some EU countries, it's free.
Just curious, what are you using these batteries for? I'm trying to figure out my own use cases.
Thank you for finding these. We aren't ready to purchase yet, but we'll be keeping our eye on these.
Beat presentation on the subject I've seen. VERY well done .
Man all of your videos are absolutely amazing thank you so much
I'm mainly impressed with the young man with brain capacity to do something constructive with his life even if it's possibly only a hobby . I hope other young men and women consider him as a role model instead of the junk the main stream media pushes .
I give you 4 thumbs up for constructive information !!!

We put here. Starting from scratch. In a few months I'll be a solar pro.
ok boo... just kidding 😁
@C W Haha okay. Even if one was to happen, im sure it wouldn't affect small off grid systems, because of the lack of long lengths of wire.

I can't complain. It isn't the most robust unit, but it works. I think the compass is a bit off but i didn't buy it for the compass.
Literally read your comment as he said it haha.
Great video in it's quality and information as well. For a guy like me who only uses solar on my RV to charge my 4 golf cart batteries the cost isn't worth buying anything but cheap lead acid, has worked for me since solar was invented.
Thanks for the Tip. Used Battery and Used Solar panels. Your making it really cheap to go Solar back up for Emergency. Thanks Will.
cheap for LiFePO4 batteries! Maybe you just lucked out, getting 90% rated capacity from used batteries tho. With no guarantee, still makes it a hit and miss purchase. Happy you got some good ones. With 2000 cycles possible...you might still get a few years of good service in a solar system. cheers!
Thank you, your videos are great and very useful. Well done!
This reminds me of Cornelius kegs for brewing beer. When the soda industry stopped using them, the piled up collecting dust until someone realized they could be used for storing home brew. Suddenly you could not find them anymore.
Just bought two. Thank you for the heads up. Take care.
Hey Will, thank you so much for sharing these lessons online! I was gung-ho to build my first battery block using your lessons, but honestly, I hesitate now to purchase lithium batteries because of the human rights violations involved in the mining of lithium and cobalt. Everyone, please consider the reports in recent years by Amnesty International about the detrimental effects on the environment and how indigenous people and child workers are abused in the process of mining these substances. I implore everyone I know to research this and understand alternative battery chemistries, or alternative lifestyle practices to avoid purchasing lithium batteries before those companies come clean about their supply chains. Have a heart, I will purchase lithium batteries AS SOON AS COMPANIES STOP VIOLATING HUMAN RIGHTS.
Wow you will wait a long time
The 'Will Prowse effect' that causes the price in battery stocks to jump up and down :P
Informative and professional! Well spoken with great presentation. Subscribed!
Hey thanks for for the 'Heads up' I never thought about 2nd hand batteries. I live in Australia and have checked out 2nd hand "Standby" Batteries used by our telecommunication companies. They 'Retire' these batteries after 5 years. Expensive units usually on a trickle charge, sold off at a fraction of the cost with lots of life left in them. COOL!
A friend of mine told me about Valance brand used batteries on eBay. He bought one and uses it in a 100 Watt solar system for his amateur radio. Been eyeing them but likewise wasn't sure of their capacity. Thanks for the test. Checking out the eBay pages.
Thank you. I wish I understood more. My takeaway is this is a good brand to consider for batteries.
Thank you for the update on the battery company. Most of the reviews are favorable.
Extremely informative! Thank you😁
I bought something similar to these the 2 power sonic PSL-12450 used for 80$ a piece on Ebay. Have them in parallel on a 200 watt solar setup in my camper van, couldn't be more happier with the preformance and price point for a quality battery! Awesome video Will once again!
`Great presentation I learned a lot I appreciate you.
Solid video. Straight to the point. I subbed my dude.
Absolutely Brilliant Video Mate!! Thank You!!
amazing!! thanks so much. i live in a 7x12 cargo trailer and i luv it!
I live in a 6x10 trailer pod and hate it.
@@Makelifehappennow I live in a stepvan with 18 foot cargo area. More room, more convenient, more comfort. Yours is too tiny.
Ian Murdock [below] quotes 4 Ah per week self-discharge due to BMS. This is insane - my small solar system would lose several percent of its output just to keep a BMS warm? I still recommend careful bottom balancing prior to battery assembly when using LiFePO4 cells - we know from EVTV that quality LiFePO4 cells thereafter do not diverge in capacity, so no need for BMS parasitic drains that can actually unbalance the battery if no charger power available! Nevertheless, these batteries would be an ideal starter system for newbies. Thanks for testing them! Keep up the good work.
These batteries have a total self-discharge of 166 mAH/day which equals 1.162 Ah/week in park (active) mode. There is no BMS but it does have internal FETs to protect from over or under voltages.
Building out my van in the next 18 months. Really want to do llithum ion. With around 1000 watts of solar. This is very encouraging!
Great information and great delivery!
These are the same batteries that were used in the battery system, of the "Smith Newton" all electric box trucks, I think they said they used 96 of those batteries to power the truck!
Was the truck heavy from all those batteries? I mean, how heavy is one battery?
@@beebob1279 Those packs are heavy, over 1344 pounds for both packs! 13.4 per battery! Plus connections and electronics! Probably 1500 pounds with everything!
@@thesurvivalist. Thanks for the info. I'm trying to figure out how to set up a battery system to keep charged for our black outs. I don't want to replace my insert wood stove but need electricity to run it. It doesn't take a lot of power plus a refrigerator. The rest I've got covered.
Later will be panels on the roof I guess.
@@beebob1279 You might want to get a chest freezer to replace the refrigerator, I picked up three of them two months ago, I lowered the temperature on one that I use as a refrigerator, to .4 to .6 tops. They uses far less energy then refrigerators, and you do not lose your cold air every time you open them to get something out!
I did a week long test on my battery bank, to see if I could power them on my system! It worked just fine, the solar recharged the batteries everyday, and I could go 3 days with having to worry if the freezers would defrost!
I even forgot to plug in a freezer for 2 days, looked inside and everything was still frozen.
Chest freezers are the ways to go on solar generators,
I have my freezers set to 1.5 tops!
@@beebob1279 check out Will Prowse channel DIY Solar, they can save a lot by buying used solar panels, the large panels.
I use poly panels my self, they produce even if they get covered or are partially in shadow!
Thanks for all the great content. When it comes to battery storage systems have you ever looked at the Carbon Foam AGM technology from Firefly? I have a 400 AH FLA battery bank on a sailboat and looking to upgrade. Looks like my options, in descending order of costs, would be new lithium batteries, most likely Battlebornes, used Lithiums, such as the Valence batteries, or new Carbon Foam batteries from Firefly. From the literature available, it seems like the Carbon Foam batteries offer most of the lithium advantage at about half the cost. Plus, I would not have to change much of my existing charging system.
Outstanding job young man.
Another great video! I used to say that the only thing I used the internet for was to watch UA-cam. Can't say it anymore I checked out your website.
OMG when you turned it on and it beeped, I went into panic mode for a quick second because that's the exact sound my system makes when it shuts down, LOL
Same here !

Great Job Guy! Well presented!
This is the best and simplest way I've seen so far
Hello! Love the video! Just bought 2 of these batteries off of eBay for a little bit more than what you paid. I paid $386.84 with taxes and shipping so I still think I got a good deal. What kind of charging monitor is that you are using to test the battery capacity?
Nice video keep up the good work. I like to se the connection you do with solar. With the same battery.
Great video your connections wore simple, I like that.
Thanx Will. Your a great source of info. Your one smart gentleman. I just subscribed. Just excellent video. Kudos! Toby
Don't be negative young man.
What would anyone disagree about in such an educational and free video?
Thank you and keep up the good work 👍 👆 👏 💯 👀✌️🙏.
Thank you! :)
William, again, you knocked it out of the park. Your Videos are fun to watch. Love your enthusiasm. Note to self. Stop touching your probes and battery terminals with live current. Your body will thank you 20 years down the road. God Bless You young man...

So informed and concise. Thank you for your sharing...
Your videos are incredible. I have purchase your book also!

Shocking!!
Ok Hill Billy youre in *charge* now. And there is a new tech (new to me)
Air/zinc batteries. Serviceable, zinc is common compared to lithium.
Stick around when your wife's vibrator dies.....

Doubling? Even more now. Can't get the 138ah for any less than $549 on eBay.
@@DC-et4li HAHAHAHAHAHAH thats exactly what i was thinking
I really appreciate your channel. Thank you for sharing
You made that so simple, I subscribed to your channel.
I hope you cleaned them out, someone did. Nice to know the cheaper options are coming up to those who do their homework.
you're right man the only things that's been stopping me from getting solar is the battery cost. My house gets blasted with sun light from all sides and my house is not very large so solar would be a great option for me. we have a program in the city to install solar that connects to the grid. but I don't want to be paying on a loan and it will likely take over 10yrs to pay it off. and I also would like to avoid the grid all together if I can. I just want to get a bunch of cheap solar panels over the course of a year or so. and put them on a car port roof. and then buy the batteries over the course of a year too. that way it won't be a bank breaker.
Check Ebay for 6v Trojans. I paid a lot from the dealer 10 years ago. This time around I checked for other sources and found them for $150 each. They usually do not ship, but I found someone pretty close to where I live and did not have to pay sales tax. My last set ran a 198W Sundanzer refrigerator on a 200W glass panel 24 hours a day for 10 years.
Like the great Carl Sagan, you make complex information digestible for laymen like myself. Thank you.
Just watching this 2 years later and the price increase is crazy! Sad to see a lot of them listed have the comm cables cut too. This probably would’ve got me into lithium batteries for my camper if I could pickup 2 for $150
Hi, what is the meter you are using to monitor the load? Where can we find it?
Thanks
Thanks for the video! A friend will sell them for $80 once he tests his 2 skids of them. I will buy one for lite camping. 🏕️ My price will be less...no shipping and a cash discount. 😁

@@williamkunte5361 That's not too far!
your a lifesaver dude! Too bad that the prices went up and they are mostly out of stock. Hope you find more cheap batteries.
Hi Will, thanks for all the good you do informing us of such products. For us what has 6v GC batteries, do you have a video on solar charging, inverters and BMS systems? Link would be great.
Enjoyed your video much. Got any beginner videos to do some basic instruction?
Yes it was very interesting, considering I understood very little.
Do u know if I can use them to run my electric trolling motor for fishing
I use LiFePo4 for my trolling motor. 20ah lasts me nearly all day.
I a lot of excellent info, right to the point, thanks ever so much!
Well presented, good education. Well done!
