The folks at Siekon sent me a battery and asked me to give it an honest review. I thought, I’ve never heard of these guys and their prices are low – probably an unremarkable product. So I hooked this 12v 100AH battery to my 2000w inverter and fired up a 1600w heat gun to give it a torture test. I STAND CORRECTED. This battery held up at least as well as any big-name battery I’ve used. I was astounded at how stable the voltage was, how quickly it recovered voltage after being under a high load for 6 minutes, and the low heat buildup. This thing is IMPRESSIVE! They also have a self-heating version that maintains safe charging temps no matter what the ambient temp is, and they’re about to release a 48V server rack battery for larger offgrid solar applications.
