[RE-wrenches] sol ark battery

[Carl Hansen]

I've put in about Ten EG4 LL banks in the last 2 years, no problems with 
any of them, tech support is very good, they have a dedicated number for 
installers and someone always picks up, I like the digital screen with 
access to battery cell voltages, cell temps, amps, battery voltage and 
%.  Their racks with integral bus bars running vertically on either side 
make installation really quick and easy, battery cables come with every 
battery for use in their racks. On a few installs I've put them in 
existing insulated battery box's with EG4's permission with the screen 
facing up and I add my own bus bars to the inside of the box.  They also 
have fire suppression pads inside them that are designed to melt down 
over the top of the internal components in the event of a serious 
thermal problem.

Their dealer price point isn't good as compared to what they sell them 
for on their website, all my customers ask for these batteries and know 
what they cost on the website. The last time I complained to them about 
their dealer price point, they discounted them more and gave me free 
shipping.
