Today we’re going to talk about two popular models from Battle Born:

The BB10012 which is the 100ah model
The GC3 which is the new 270ah model

We recently switched to using the GC3 in all of our van conversions because of the unique stacking ability - we are able to get bigger battery banks into the same small space because of the way they mount.

We typically were installing 300-500ah in our van conversions by using the BB10012 in the bed area, with the batteries sitting side by side.

Now we are able to fit 540-810ah in the same space with the GC3 because we can stack them. If you’ve ever built a van before, you know that every inch of space counts!
