Are Ampere Time batteries any good

Looked at a 100 amp lithium battery with BMS sold by Ampere Time with a 5 year warranty.

Has anyone other than the 3 posts I found on the search engine above had experience. Especially warranty issues.
I have a message in to Ampere Time asking about the BMS and if it has a temperature sensor as one post said it did not and high/low temp charging could damage it.


Thanks, just tired of replacing my group 27 batteries.

Ampere time...

Something to look for.

When I was lithium battery shopping I looked at the Ampere Time and what turned me off of them was that it was a 100AH battery that could only be charged and discharged at a 50A rate. Evidently the BMS, internal wiring and possibly even the cells are a cheaper version that cannot handle 100A. Can't remember about the temp cutoff. They may be different now, check before you buy!

I ended up going with these batteries. So far no problems and I'm quite happy with them.
