Will Prowse said DON'T BUY the Eco-Worthy Cubix 100 Pro server rack battery yet. But is he right? In this video, I put the Eco-Worthy Cubix 100 Pro 48V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery through a full capacity test, teardown, app walkthrough, and internal communication test with the EG4 12000XP — and then address Will's concerns head-on.
The Eco-Worthy Cubix 100 Pro is one of the most safety-focused server rack batteries I've ever tested. From the dual fire suppression system to the recessed terminals, BMS-controlled breaker, and emergency app shutdown, Eco-Worthy clearly prioritized protection in this build. But it's not without issues — the Eco-Worthy app has a refresh bug, and the cold-charging marketing claims deserve scrutiny. Is the Eco-Worthy Cubix 100 Pro worth your money? Watch and decide for yourself.

![DIY Mini Split Install: Save $9,000 [Step-by-Step Guide]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MRPfCzLSwMA/mqdefault.jpg "DIY Mini Split Install: Save $9,000 [Step-by-Step Guide]
DIY mini split install step by step: I was quoted $10,000 to have a mini split heat pump installed. YIKES! So I did it myself with a $409 unit from Amazon and saved over $9,000. This is the complete step-by-step DIY mini split installation guide: mounting the bracket, drilling the wall penetration, flaring the line set, wiring 120V, pulling a proper vacuum, and leak testing. Im a licensed HVAC technician, so youre getting the real procedure…not the shortcut version. Then I tested it in a 105°F extreme heat warning and got a 35-degree temperature split. Best part: this unit has a generator mode that caps output at 30%, 50%, or 80%, which makes it one of the most solar-ready mini splits you can buy. Ive got a full companion video showing exactly how I run this entire system off solar and pay nothing to operate it.
Buy the 12,000 BTU 120v Rellytech Mini-split you saw me install in this video: https://amzn.to/4fUuJdG
NOTE: At the at the time of making this video there is a coupon you can clip on the Amazon page and save an extra massive 10% on your order! That brings the cost of this mini-split down to a crazy low $368! WOW!!!
