[RE-wrenches] Lithium battery recommendation

[Daryl DeJoy]

I believe(but am not sure) that it was about their inverters and SolArks
being made by the same manufacturer.
Their batteries had nothing to do with it and while we have had multiple
problems with Fortress and other high priced LiFePo batteries with the same
warranties and expected life cycles , Atlas continues to provide a very
reliable product with very good customer support, when needed. Trying to
get tech support from other manufacturers, especially when the installer is
on site, can be exhausting and futile. Not so with the few times we've
needed support from Atlas.

Just my experience,
Daryl
