Mostly softball questions, boilerplate answers delivered by an experienced politician! 

Installation torque! 🤣 How about all those lose bolts interior to the casing?

Exactly, I stopped reading at “Denis: The videos questioning the positive terminal design in our 100Ah battery are technically invalid, and
here's exactly why.”

The later Will Prowse videos were done with battery intact

I would like to Will Prowse do this strenuous testing with intact battery to other manufacturers like Epoch, Lithonics and then cut them open after the ridged testing.  Then we could really compare.  Maybe he has, I just haven't taken the time to look.

I agree I think the BB interview was a PR stunt.  Lithium batteries are still semi new technology and still evolving.  Just because they meet an industry standard does not mean they are well built.  It is like high jumping  and setting the bar at one foot. As long as you jump over the bar you're good to go.   Also Will could take a brand new BB battery and cut it apart to see if he really caused the internal problems he showed.  But I highly doubt that kind of melting happened  just from cutting the tops off.

I understand this takes some financial backing to do these types of test.  

I don't mean to dish Will,  but is he completely impartial in this.  There are a lot of variables.

Mike Sokol will do his own test and that should be a good comparison with Will Prowse. We shall see.

I watch a good bit of Will's content these days. He pretty much sticks with the same tests. However, over the years he has added to his tool chest with better and better diagnostic equipment.  Creators trying to educate, do not usually make it to 1.1 million subscribers. Compared to where he came from, pretty much homeless, it's very impressive, especially for young folks these days.

I used to watch Will when he was full-timing in a beat up trailer teaching himself his craft.  Many years ago... nine years, I just checked.  Here's the first video I remember watching from him.
