There is or was good reason to avoid them. They were often made using outdated tech but marketed as not. This isn’t a battery though. My big worry is that it will have Chinese government malware on it, so I’m more than a bit leery of the smart-device features. I avoid smart devices in general. The concept of someone running a DHCP attack using y cat box creeps me out. I went so far as to get the NON-smart version of my automated cat box even though i had to buy an earlier version. Remember, the cloud is just someone else’s computer. Ever notice how cheap it is to get a smart doorbell but how expensive it is to get one that DOESN’T USE the cloud? Gonna have as little to do with the cloud as i can thankyouverymuch. I’ve got a real firewall and EVERTYTHING goes through it, not directly to anything.Did you see the name on the EVSE in the pic he posted? I've never even heard of it!
I also avoid batteries made in China (even my 12v Lithium is not China-based), and there is a difference between "made in China" and "made in Taiwan" (or other parts of Asia).
