Price is still showing as £2500 on the Fogstar site, although you only have to pay a 10% reservation, there. Perhaps this deal is for paying the whole lot up-front. Next shipment isn't due in until the end of May.

If you navigate through the pre-order workflow you can use the code GET5OFF to reduce the shipping balance by £124.99.

My finger is hovering over the order button.....

Thanks for that. Now it is a race between us to press the button!

After much procrastination (almost a month), my finger has engaged said button.

Blimey! They've arrived early.

When I called to book delivery the chap I spoke to said they were arriving Friday - which is at odds with the email I had. Mine is booked in for Wednesday delivery - I will need to clear a spot for it.

The forecast for next week is not looking good for filling it.

Did you find out if the delivery vehicle has a tail-lift? I assume it has, as most people don't own a fork-lift truck.

I didn't ask - but I would assume so if it's a pallet delivery.

Yes, as @Chris_Type_R said, pallet delivery.

He'll put it on your property, as long as he can get his pallet truck to where you want - no steps though as it weighs about 200kg.

He put mine straight in the garage, was happy that I had cleared space for them!

Ive got the 3 batteries & cab combo, as they didn't have the much neater (and cheaper    ) single battery stack that I assume you've both ordered?

I'm used to getting pallets of logs off a tail lift into the garage. The extra wrinkle is that I've now put an insulated floor in, to bring the level up to same as the house, ready to convert the garage into a kitchen and utility room. Luckily I've had a dry run with a plasterboard delivery, where I stacked pallets in the doorway, to bring the level up, and then just had to slide the sheets inside. I think if we can get tail-lift resting on pallets the pallet truck will drive right in to where I want the beast. Getting the !!!!!! upright, once the wheels are on, may be a two pipe problem! (or probably I'll have to hire an engine hoist)

I'm wondering, if it will be delivered upright anyway?

As expecting people to be able to lift it up at that weight is not usual?

Enjoying this thread. If i was the market for batteries I would absolutely go for these.
imagine the export potential during the next octopus saving sessions!!!
