Ronski's Solar & battery DIY build with whole house backup

@Troop Any news on the cells, the Fogstar website has dates of end of April and end of May depending on if you're looking at retail or wholesale site?

Also seems grade B 280Ah are in stock, perhaps grade A just hasn't been updated, but that doesn't explain the May date, unless thats the next batch.

No new news here, I think with the dates moved to May, it's for people ordering now, if when you ordered it said April, you will be covered in the pre-orders for that arrival date, if that makes sense.

@Troop yes makes sense, they've had my money since February.

Just a little concerned with the timing, I've regularly been checking the dates and it's only today I noticed they have changed.

You can't buy the Eve B grade 280A only pre-order, there has been no date in the listing since the start of this Month (it was April for arrival)
I have B 280A on pre-order, just 4 to make up a pack for the campervan.

I really need them this week, have a new kitchen arriving next week that I have to fit!, be no time to play :(

Soon as kitchen and batteries are done I'll be off to Scotland yey :)

It doesn't look like mine have been shipped yet either, all the DPD app says is they have received order details and awaiting my parcel, so will hopefully ship today for delivery tomorrow. I ordered late February and had to pay in full, at some point later I noticed they were taking deposits.

Update on my order, they have now taken full payment, probably ship out tomorrow (I hope)
 
My DPD shipping info came just after I posted that they had taken the rest of the payment.
Same as you now, waiting for the DPD to collect the parcel.

Kitchen arriving tomorrow or Sat, typical both been on order for months, sod's law they will arrive the same day, probably the same hour.

TBH I expected you to receive yours first, must be the one benefit of living in the sticks of mid Wales, they needed to fill the delivery van.

Start the kitchen fit tomorrow, be the end of the coming week before I can do anything with mine.
 
Checked and labelled the cells last night, checked internal resistance and voltage today, all cells were made in February this year.
