Maybe the clever people on this forum can check the IP address thingies...

Thanks for the reply

This is the store that is selling them

http://li-iontech.co.za/index.php/product/12kwh-lithium-ion-batteries-with-10yrs-warranty-last-year-stock-clearance-sale-50-off/

Anyone know if this store is actually at Moffitt retail park in pe

The  ad actually mentions SolarCity Rsa   sounds suspect 

Guys there is a serious shortage of lithium's in the country, how on earth can anybody offer a special?? Normal supply and demand..... 

 

Stolen batteries this guys. Stay away. 

I see it is the same phone number as the solarcity RSA website

Jip, because they use different sites to catch poeple. 

Looks like a fake physical address. Can't find any mention of it in the directory listing for that mall.

We did some investigation.  The Jhb warehouse brought some to check.  Someone imported a container load full of used train batteries.  They come from China and India.  Apparently they are replaced every 5 years. The guys selling them are brokering the batteries and getting a cut - they don't own them.  What we looked at had the branding spray painted out.  Said they did have new units and would come back, but we have not seen them since.

Get them to meet you at the police station next time.

same guys here. I almost fell for this trap

They look to be operating as solarflow.co.za now.

According to the company reg no that they are using on the site they are IKHUMUZI TRADING ENTERPRISE

No registered accounts since 2013

Smells fishy

If it's the same guys I spoke to some time ago, they only deal in bank transfers/cash, no payment by credit card which immediately makes me suspicious of their 10 year warranty!
