I bet we all are. But I think Mooch has some more pressing matters to care for atm. And with good reason.
Do you know something we don't?I bet we all are. But I think Mooch has some more pressing matters to care for atm. And with good reason.
It takes a huge amount of effort to write up everything, please be patient. This entire thing was a very bad idea and has been a nightmare for me in terms of responding to the huge number of questions about when it will be done.
My experience; EVERY pair of batteries purchased that were used independently (single-mech, pairing & unpairing with others for short periods, etc) have all died in 3-9 months use.
Married pairs in my experience have shown greatly extended life cycles, as have single-mech batteries never used in dual-mods.
Vented & exploded examples I have seen in person were typically mis-matches where those folks paid little attention to marrying pairs. This includes large cells used in parallel 12v, and series 24v & 36v systems for marine applications.
It's hard to imagine the test results here will be different than other applications marine, automotive etc. But, I am still following in the event I can learn ;-) and greatly appreciate folks that take the time to test.

I'm interested in the results, just doubt that it will change my habit of marrying my batteries.
No. But considering the changes in his testing profiles for batteries, I think it would be more important to update these.
