Hello Justin, No I don't use an electric stove. 1) I like to use gas, 2) I probably will buy a portable induction stove top in the future for redundancy. If the electric goes down for some reason, I w

Brent, Though it's not likely for one cell to go bad, if it happened I should be able to open the battery and replace the cell. Ken Powers

Hello Justin, It's now 8:51AM here in Thailand, and I just finished the capacity test. I left the Aircon running until 8:20AM, that's 19 hours 20 minutes pulling 32 to 35 Amps. These batteries are 1 y
