What are your thoughts on the SOK brand batteries.

They have a max charge capacity of 50 amps.

Would that scare any of you off?

I'd get more details on the SOK. They are new to market and beating competition by 50%. I looked at their website and something is not right with those specs. They show the 200ah battery at 100ah max discharge, this is .5C. Maybe they just copied and pasted the web pages. They all can't have the same spec, even if they use the same raw cell, every single cell added in parallel increases current capacity. Will Prowse does a video review of them

Yes. That review got my attention. He seems to like them but reacted to the 50 ah charge capacity.

That was all he mentioned. Didn't sound good or bad.
