Guess I am lucky, nkon is a short drive away.
This is one of the primairy reasons I opted for them and the envision test cells to begin with.
If something turned out to be not right, I could simply hop in the car to make it right.
Fortunately they performed well beyond my expectations, and maybe even better than my lf304's I got from china, without the long wait

Brilliant... that’s so handy for you.. living not too far away... I’m very pleased to hear that they are beyond your expectations.. my gut instincts told me that they were going to be good cells for the diy community..?
@houseofancients perhaps you can be our local ambassador 
In a strange turn of events I was in Amsterdam late November, and then my wife was a few hours drive away in Germany during December. I even considering making a special trip/drive over to collect them from the UK! That is how good a price they are compared to UK.

If there is anything I learned here, then there is that a group thing always turns sour a one point ( Micheal caro anyone ?).@houseofancients perhaps you can be our local ambassador
So I will share my experience and somewhat small amount of tips and tricks, but that will be it I am afraid.
Pretty sure you won't need it, as NKON seems to really have their act together
Michael Caro.... poker player..? I can’t help but think of group efforts on the final stages to conquer Mount Everest... queues and delays... weather closing in ... daylight disappearing... opposing opinions... I’m such a pessimist... ?..

Warning Group Buy with Michael B Caro
I don't like doing this but I feel compelled to warn others so they don't get ripped off. I have been dealing with "Michael B Caro" from this site in a group buy. It looks like I have been ripped off for $800+. It's been 7 months no product and he is no longer answering my e-mails. So be warned...

Uni-t is good enough for my purposes
I have one too, from the 1980s
My thread below turned into a Fluke discussion after Will bought a £600 one... especially from page 3
What's the best solar-related item you bought in 2023?
A light-hearted thread for Christmas time... As the title says... what's the best thing / what do you love the most that you bought this year. Either directly solar or a solar related tool, component etc... I'll kick it off to say I love my new Raspberry Pi 5... amazingly powerful yet so...
