Looking good :)
I'm waiting to order from the UK but won't until I hear everything is ok with this product.

Quick question on the mini...has it been stress tested w/ the Zeus Z2500 pack at full power?
Just curious how the new inverter holds up w/ extreme loads and what the recycle time looks like...

Yes, the 2500 can be recycled from the Vmini, but 2500Ws at 120 watts/ second yields over 20 second recycle times. Possible, but not practical.

For those that are subscribed to this thread, I just received notice from Customer Service that the estimated ship date has slipped to late January due to the batteries being held for international inspections.

Given the recent use of bombs hidden in technical cargo in cargo planes as a way to attack certain countries, it seems understandable and prudent that a couple of thousand lithium batteries coming in on air freight be well inspected to be sure it is what they say it is. Its just a consequence of the times we live in.

Thanks phs for the info, I am going to place an order for one (mini) this upcoming Monday via phone if all things go right, getting paid on time. :? I went ahead and subscribed to this forum and thread for that reason. I recently purchased a pair of B800's and some other accessories for my bee's, they should be here Monday or Tuesday tracking them now on this New Years weekend heh. I am just hoping that when the mini's do in fact show up that they have additional units to purchase at a later date without a delay or wait. I save up to buy things and maybe would like to purchase one for each unit at a later date (two in all is all), (another right when they do come out or maybe first of February. :D

PS: My first post here! :oops:

The Mini Lithiums are now shipping according to the web site product page. Has anyone received theirs yet?

No email - but it looks like me bank is pending... Yeah
