EDIT: Almost six months in, and these are still working great! I've had no issues whatsoever. I run our entire tiny house off of these batteries. That's enough to run our lights, charge our laptops, run my CPAP, 3 fans, a water pump, charge phones, and a 12v fridge. With our current power consumption, we drain about 10% overnight (with 3 of these batteries). Anyone making their own setup should calculate out their own energy consumption, but I just wanted to give a reference point. I love these batteries. I'm very happy with them. I set them up and haven't had to mess with them one time. Again, if any issues ever arise, I'll update.

EDIT 3/10/19: I wanted to update this review (and change my one star rating to a three star rating) because my experiences in the past year make me think my original review was too harsh. The negative that hasn't changed is that I think the seller's warranty is misleading and that the customer service rep was generating reasons not to honor the warranty. That being said, I do think that the company was right that the batteries weren't defective, I wasn't charging them the way they should have been charged. After the return was refused I decided to try charging the batteries much more aggressively (increasing absorption and float voltage and going for three hours of absorb per day rather than one hour) and I also split the battery bank in half and put each half on a desulfator for a month. The combo worked to increase the banks capacity back up to about 60-70% of the original capacity and I haven't seen much more deterioration in capacity since then (I'm also using an onboard desulfator now). So, it's hard for me to say how much of the original deterioration was the battery's fault vs. my own mistakes but I know I was at least part (and likely most of) the problem. If I had it to do again I probably would have gone with a more mainstream off-grid battery brand and with 6V batteries instead of 12V (apparently the plates are typically thicker on 6v batteries which makes the effects of sulfation occur more slowly) but I think proper charging would have prevented the issues I had my first year with the VMAX batteries. Hope the update is helpful, especially for people looking for batteries for off-grid applications.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I bought 8 of these batteries to create 24 volt 500 AH off-grid battery bank for my 1200W PV array. When I bought them I thought "Well, they're expensive but they have that 1 year warranty so there really isn't any risk involved if they don't perform well within that first year." I figured that the company must be very confident in their batteries to have the one year warranty (since a lot can happen to batteries in a year) and so I felt comfortable buying them. The first six months all was well but after that their capacity started dropping very quickly. I was using them to about 30-50% depth of discharge overnight and they got to an absorption charge probably 5 days out of the week. By eleven months they were performing at about 35-40% capacity of their original capacity. I expected some drop off but based on the manufacturer's "Depth of Discharge vs. Cycles" charge I expected that at 50% depth of discharge I'd still be about 60% capacity for 1000 cycles (so something like 3 years of use). So, I decided to send them back, thinking "well, as much as it's a pain to disassemble the battery bank and ship them at the cost of several hundred dollars, at least I won't feel so bad about the return on investment. However, when I called Bargainshore to confirm the exchange it became clear very quickly that they were looking for any excuse to refuse the exchange. For example, the rep asked about the max amps of my charge controller and when I said 60 he jumped on that as being too low. I reminded him that he couldn't possibly know if 60 amps was too low since he never asked about the voltage of my battery bank (since watts = amps x volts it makes no sense to just ask about amps). If I hadn't known about Ohms law he would have used that as the reason to refuse the exchange. So then he asked me to keep describing my setup and when I said that the bank wasn't charged to capacity every single night he immediately jumped on that as a reason to refuse the exchange and kept repeating that the batteries had performed as expected (which is crazy since their data sheet says that even at 100% depth of discharge the batteries will have 60% capacity at 300 cycles).
I expected these batteries to last for 3 or 4 years given their usage and they've lasted less than a year. The seller wouldn't honor their warranty. When I replace them I am absolutely going to go with a different company. I hope my experience is helpful to others.
In short. We do not treat these batteries well, but they keep on ticking. They have been cycled over and over and drained below the 11.7 amp threshold multiple times. Had them in -0 temperature multiple times in Wyoming and Colorado. They are finally starting to show wear, not holding a charge like they used to. I can’t find room to complain. I just looked underneath and they are caked with mud and covered in grime from streams, dirt roads, you name it.
I’m going to replace them with the same. The cost of lithium is still a little too high and these batteries work hard. If I can get another 3 years, that’s over $1k for 6 years of service. Maybe by then, Lithium prices will have come to their senses.
Used this in my travel trailer off grid for 4 straight days. It is a solid powerful battery that REALLY delivers 125 amp hours. Towed it for 4 hours and it was fully recharged. Then spent 3 more days off grid. I watched my amp draw carefully but this battery delivers what it promises. Plenty of juice for the fan, lights, charging my phone and even my WIFI antenna. Never dropped below 60% charge. It is heavy! But it is TRUE. I had a question on Friday night at 6:00 PM. Called Vmaxtanks support. They answered without waiting. Answered my questions expertly with no "fluff". Everything about this product and company is TRUE. How refreshing! USA company. Highly recommended.
