What happened to The Miller???

Over-discharged, currently refresh cycling.

He is a bit overworked with real life and doesn’t have any time for the forums. Maybe he will return when things slow down for him.

The “best” varies from person to person. Do you need it to be cheap, or really fast, or show lots of charging info? There are many chargers out there that get the job done.

Like thijsco19 said, when you run batteries in series, like the 4 cells in a GT carrier, they need to be a matched set and stay that way. So mark them and only use them as a group. “Matched and married” as we say. Lol

Added a set of 35E 18650s and a small donation to the team under a separate order. Thanks guys!

Hello JasonWW Is there a timetable? When will the third group be shipped ?
Paid on 04 April.
Many thanks to all involved developers and the users, who gave their time to this project.

Are you referencing the Miller? I’m a bit confused by that.

Anyway, I would assume Lumintop will be shipping right away. They have the lights. They just need to sort the orders and box them up.

Anyway, it is about Monday morning over in China so they could be shipping some later today. Texas_Ace will be around in maybe 8 or 10 hours and he might have some hard fact details from Neal or Lumintop.

Did you say April 4th? Do you mean April 18th? Please clarify.

Oh Sorry I meant the 18.04, somehow I have problems with the website,
I can not answer normally only quote works and then I quoted the wrong one.

Ordered the GT and a set of 18650. Thank you very much to make this possible. Can’t wait to get it here.

Hi:

I am trying to pay for the GT, but I do not see any external link or password in the PM I received… have I missed something?

does anyone who has bought only a short battery tube got a tracking number?

More info here. [PART 2] Official BLF GT Group Buy thread. Closed, but Public sales open! - #838 by JasonWW
I’ll send you a PM.

Thank you Jason!

I don’t think they are sending tracking numbers for the tube. I ordered 2 weeks ago and did not get a number.

I am not sure you can do that. The $10 is lowered than original $15 because of combine shipping with GT.
If you order the tube only, there is no combine shipping anymore.

Your talking about something else.
He is refering to those people who have bought just the battery tube for $15.

Ya, I misunderstood him, I thought he is in batch 3 and opt for battery tube only.

I did get confirmation that they will be packing and shipping the GT’s this week.

I recently learned a bit more about the process and it is MUCH more involved then I first assumed, which explains a lot of the decisions that happened in the early batches.

Neal has to go to lumintop and tell them how many orders and who and what the orders are. He then helps them pack them up. They will then have to make lables of some sort to designate which order is which and who they are going to.

They then give them to a 3rd party that will actually pick the courier, print the shipping labels and deal with the customs of both getting them out of China and into where ever they are going.

They then give them to the courier and they start the trip.

After all that the tracking numbers and other information has to them slowly trickle back to lumintop, then to another person at lumintop and then to Neal and then he has to organize the tracking numbers to the correct person.

After all of that he can send the tracking numbers. Needless to say it is very time consuming and it has to pass through a lot of hands.

Far as this shipment of GT’s, I expect to see them start leaving lumintop next week if I had to guess. The pattern seems to be that the packages leave on Mondays. So I would guess most will be ready by the end of this week and the rest next week.

Sounds inefficient & expensive
