[RE-wrenches] Fortress Battery Problems

Hey all, I really like Fortress and I’ve had amazingly good experiences with their support. I have had 3 different interactions with Fortress technical support. They’ve supported me very very well. They don’t have a good phone number for me to call, but I fill out an online ticket and then the appropriate support agent calls me. Sure, occasionally I’m in a place with no internet, but then, there’s probably no cell phone coverage either.

Overall, their technical support was the most helpful team I’ve ever experienced. Outback Power has some really awesome techs (like Lones Tuss) but when you have to deal with the low level techs (which is most of the time), it’s pretty bad. I haven’t had good experiences with Schneider tech support or MidNite tech support. I’ve dealt with many other companies, and I felt like Fortress had the best tech support I’ve had to deal with.

Cheers,
Kienan

HI Wrenches,

A couple of weeks ago this thread came up - main topic was lack of tech support from Fortress.  A few days later I was contacted by Marc Zeitlin, Fortress's
Regional sales manager Midwest.  We haven't used Fortress yet, but I basically reiterated the concerns that were expressed on this thread and said that I'd be interested once they had their Tech support issues ironed out.  To my surprise Marc really took that feedback and ran with it all the way up to offering me and those of you that are interested a call with their CEO and anyone else we would like to talk to.  I offered to send this note to the list and invite you all to join the call.  I would think we'd want to keep the numbers manageable, but we can figure that out.

I don't have a horse in the race and have no association with Fortress, but I thought it might be a really good opportunity for those of you that have more experience with Fortress to get a direct line with their CEO and main tech folks so that we can hopefully improve things for all.  Marc has proposed Thursday January 5th at 10am.  Let me know directly at jcoxon at sunwindpowerinc.com<mailto:jcoxon at sunwindpowerinc.com> if you're interested and I'll pass your name along so they can get this set up.

Best Regards,
