[QUOTE="thill, post: 500703, member: 4972"] Well, it got a little better. Basically, the battery was fine and gave good power curve, but the BMS didn't provide adequate short circuit protection. So don't short circuit your batteries, and always use fuses or circuit breakers in your setups, especially if it's a cheap battery. AGM and lead acid batteries have never had a BMS, but if it's supposed to protect, IT SHOULD. Good point, Sonny! Still, it's too bad he pitched it. I'm guessing many people who avoid short circuiting batteries would have been happy to take it off his hands and use it for years with no issues. [/QUOTE]
