In my search for 400Ah worth of lithium batteries that will fit in my space I came across this company, probably was a link from another post I have here.
Has anyone used these batteries or have any exposure to them in anRV??

I bought a 170ah Bigbattery a year ago. It wasn’t called an owl then. It’s been an absolute dream. Some of the features I like and make camping a lot easier:
1. Anderson terminals. Easy to pull the plug and remove the battery.
2. On/off switch. Enables cutting all power including parasitic draws
3. Built in voltage display. Easy to check at a glance
4. Excellent BMS with all the necessary safety shutdowns.
5. Carry handle
6. Only 47lbs
7. Accepts up to 80amps charge current
8. I spent about half the cost per amphr compared to Battleborn.
9. Assembled in California with long warranty and customer service line.
10. Can leave in in the rv in winter storage, or easily bring it indoors.
11. Fits easily in pass thru.
12. Good match for 2000w inverter/charger, and Victron solar charge controllers

After watching Will Prowse do his thing on a BigBattery, I am sold. It fits my space with the Ah I want. Good price as well.

Darius,
DO NOT ORDER ONLINE!
If you call their sales phone number, you can get an even better price if you ask for it. I called, told the sales desk I’m retired on fixed income, and believed the online price was over my budget. They gave me an extra $100 off. Shipping was free. They give you a Anderson cable for free, but it’s way too wimpy. I think it’s only 6 or 4 awg. Order an Anderson cable to fit the length you need from batterycablesusa.com they’ll make a cable to custom length with Anderson on one end and ring terminals on the other. I used 1/0 2ft length. Cost $35.
