TP batteries?
« on: December 14, 2017, 10:29:46 AM »
Dose anybody have any insight into the workings of Thunder Power RC.  I have on order four each TP2800-4SPX25. They were ordered on 11/20/2017.  They are out of stock.  I sent a request to TP by logging in and starting a case thread.  I asked "When will this order ship?  Looks like it is the batteries that are out of stock."  So far no response from TP.   Just wondering if their is a way to find out how long it will take for TP to ship?   ???

I looked back at a couple orders and 2 - 4 weeks is likely following a big sale.  I've seen a note on sale flyers to "allow two or more weeks, and all out of stock items will be fulfilled as soon as items become available."  They likely fill orders and leave the out of stock notice until they get ahead and have a bit of stock sitting.

I ordered 3 2800mah 4 cell batteries the day the 50% off started. I received them the beginning of last week, shipping was slow. I bet they sold all they had and need to make a fresh batch to fill your order.

Like the others say.

TP(Advance Energy) assembles the packs here using  cells sourced  from overseas.

That takes time and UPS ground(along with others) currently experiencing delays.

I ordered 4x4000 mah & 4x2200 before the end of the Black Friday sale.  The 4000's came a week or so ago.  The 2200's are still shown as 'Back Ordered'.  Not the first time that they have been slow when a big sale is underway.  Other time of year, they have been very quick.  I assume they are just swamped and will get things out as quickly as possible.

Just got a response from TP.  The batteries are on back-order.  They won't be in till after the first of the year.  However they are going to go ahead and ship the charger.  So all is good.   :)

Anyone get their batteries yet? This order is getting long in the tooth.
I actually called Thunder Power today just to check the status.  The gentleman I spoke with said the parts to build the 2800's where supposed to be delivered today and assembly would begin.  I ordered mine around the same time as you, just keep in mind they were hammered with orders due to the sale.

Hay we had a snow today. Rare in Alabama but it happens.  My need was not urgent till it warms up!   LL~  Anyway the price is what matters.  When they arrive I will have a total of 8.  It is rare for me to put in more than 4-5 flights at a time. I plan to up my game this summer so now I can't blame in on a lack of batteries!   Anyway thanks for the update!  All is good in my world.

School was cancelled today and will be tomorrow as well (I retired from UPS a few years ago and now teach elementary school).  Hope to get some work on the new plane.
