Ok, just got the final word before the holiday.

The good news is that almost all of the NW GT70’s were shipped out!

Leo stayed late and did a lot of the work getting these out the door all by himself to get as many as possible shipped before the holiday.

The delayed news is that the conversion kits were not able to be shipped before the holiday. They will ship out after they return.

So expect arrivals to start happening over the coming 1-2 weeks assuming they make it out of china before it completely shuts down.

Leo said he is going to try to get the tracking numbers sent out if he gets them before the holiday.

Has there been any indication on when the GB is going to end? I am going to make a purchase but my family is moving come November 1 so I have been holding off as long as possible so as to not take a chance of it being shipped to the wrong address depending on how long or quick it takes to ship. If I can hold off another two weeks maybe I figure that would be about a perfect guarantee to be able to ship it to the new address.

I too would like to know.

There has not been any word as of yet but I don’t expect much if any communication this coming week due to the China Holiday, so I think it is a safe bet to say it will be open for at least another week.

My guess is that when they catch up on orders and have a chance to think they will realize it is still open and tell me to close it. This has been the trend in the past. I try to give people a weeks notice of when it will end whenever possible.

It is 11:05 am sunday in china… i am not sure lumintop stuff works on sunday… maybe they will shipped out today or already shipped out. I dont know.

Texas_Ace · September 30, 2018, 3:48am

The lights were already given to the forwarder yesterday, the real question is if they will get them out of China before things shut down.

I doubt the tracking numbers will be back through the chain until after the holiday even if the packages make it out though.

Got an SMS from DHL saying I have a delivery from Hong Kong arriving on Tuesday. Don’t think it can anything else than the GT70.
Of course, I’m not home on Tuesday

The Lumintop website still says “Wait for shipping”.

Newlumen · September 30, 2018, 2:18pm

Got a DHL shipping notice.

Gj1 · September 30, 2018, 2:29pm

I got a call from DHL with tracking number, delivery Tuesday (2nd).

slimkango · September 30, 2018, 3:41pm

Also received text from DHL that package will be delivered on Tuesday, October 2nd.

Hello,

sorry, if I missed this here in Thread…
are Sanyo GA, standard version without welded buttontops, suitable for new Batterycarriers of BLF GT70?

in old Batterycarrier I used protected batteries.
In new ones proctected doesn´t work, I read…

So I would like to use my 4 Sanyo GA and will order some more…

Thanks

JasonWW · October 1, 2018, 7:20am

You would need unprotected button top.

There is reverse polarity protection built in the carriers, so you can use either button top or solder blob some flat top cells.

.

square74 · October 1, 2018, 7:46am

Hello,
thanks.

Sanyo GA have raised top.
Maybe not raised enough…

can reverse polarity protection be removed at own risk? I´ve some brasspills which I can solder in instead of protection?

JorisFRST · October 1, 2018, 9:27am

Get the text from DHL, it will be here wednesday.

KawiBoy1428 · October 1, 2018, 9:53am

I removed the protection disc’s on my carriers and use 30Q flat tops.

square74 · October 1, 2018, 10:01am

with your new BLF GT*70*?
These Battery Carriers are different to the older one from BLF GT (XHP35Hi).

Thanks.

KawiBoy1428 · October 1, 2018, 10:13am

Yep GT70, the new carriers are shorter, I do have a extra set of the stock BLF GT 35 HI carriers, since I run 6v 2S2P carriers with a clean de-domed XHP70.2 in the BLF GT 35 now.

square74 · October 1, 2018, 10:45am

Thanks

which driver do you use with your BLF GT 35?

KawiBoy1428 · October 1, 2018, 11:14am

At first a piggy backed FETDD driver from RMM and now Lexel T/A Narsil Infineon FETDD driver, Lexel made for me.

flashycali · October 1, 2018, 3:38pm

I have gotten no SMS, email…nothing so far about my delivery, darn it :disappointed:

Update: NEVER MIND! Just got a text from DHL and it should be here on Tuesday! :partying_face:

Mr.Scott · October 1, 2018, 2:49pm

Woo hoo! DHL says they are delivering something tomorrow (Oct 2nd).

I’m not expecting anything else.

wolfstyle · October 1, 2018, 2:55pm
