New battery from Epoch "Victron Venus compatible"

Hi, does anybody have experience with the 12V 460Ah V2 Elite Series - Heated & Bluetooth & Victron Comms LiFePO4 Battery from Epoch?

One of my sailboat customers is interested…

I have experience with the 24V 230Ah V2 series. I have four them in parallel and it took three weeks of trying to get the communications to work well enough for them to show up in Epoch’s own app. One battery was replaced because the firmware update procedure is borked. The battery balancer doesn’t work well, they still don’t turn on/off as a group like they should, the app is terrible, the batteries never reach 100% SoC (on GX device or in app), CVL is set to 28.8V yet the batteries never rise above 27.8V (both voltages are not good).

The 12V and 48V versions have their own problems from reports I have received online and from tech support.

On paper these batteries look great. In practice, they are terrible. Most of these issues could be remedied through software. I’m not sure about the battery balancer though.
