UK Thunder Sky Bulk Purchase Thread
Posted: Mon Mar 31, 2008 8:29 am
I'm starting this thread to gather firm expressions of interest and commitment from other UK EV enthusiasts who would be up for participating in another UK bulk purchase of TS cells. Note the bulk purchase is for LCP/LMP cells only not LFP which have licensing problems.

I am hosting some of the TS smaller cell pdf files in my own webspace as there's is very slow. Note pdf data files are not available for all cells due to broken links on TS site Perhaps someone can point us to some elsewhere!

This purchase would be run along the same lines as the first UK one, and would involve money up front to the UK co-ordinator (Reap Systems) and a minimum 12 week delivery time via sea to Southampton, where all cells would be collected by the individuals from the group. You should bank on no guarantees whatsoever, and make your mind up on that basis. This bulk purchase is not affiliated with or backed by the BVS or any individual.
The price I/we are aiming for is £1.00 - £1.10 per Ah inc vat and import duty/shipping etc. So a 50ah cell will cost £50-£55 each. We could get lucky and depending on total quantity maybe get a lower price!
I'm happy to put my money up front as I did before for a new set of 45 x TS-LCP50AHA Cells for my Honda Insight PHEV project.
Add your name and comments to this thread together with details and quantities of cells your are interested in. Note no LFP cells!
I will liase with Reap Systems so questions on here only at this time please, I know they are busy moving offices.
Final commitment will be required by the end of April 08. This gives us a month to spread the word and make up our minds. If we cannot raise a big enough order then the purchase may not go ahead at all, so the more the merrier.
