Yes they will still push together, the screwed sleeve will also push over the top of the connection to make a firmer hold, not sure it will be waterproof though. I make sure that my connection is inside something else like a top tube bag

Cheers

I've found this:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Solarstorm-BC-1-rechargeable-water-proof_1319153248.html

There are a whole load of horror stories about suppliers on alibaba, but this supplier is in their second year of being a gold supplier, and they allow Escrow payment, which means they do not get the payment until the goods are recieved by the seller.

Minimum order of five

Minimum order of five

I'm sure there are four others here who would have one . I'm just not 100% sure about the seller. I'm just going to check they can supply 5 of them.
EDIT: I sent a request for up to date cost info for a 5 pc order. This should tell us if they can/will suply 5, and if so, how much for.

Yeah I would take one

I'd have one too.

Don't worry guys, if I make an order I'll read back a few pages and check who wanted one. I'll also give it a few days for people to see.

To be honest though, I'm not getting my hopes up. IF the supplier has them available, and IF they'll ship 5/10 pcs, and IF they're a reasonable price, then we can get exited.
There's then another if concerning whether they'll actually show up - or show up in time for winter. The seller uses a system where they won't get paid until I confirm the order's arrived though, so assuming they'll sell a small quantity (5/10pc) the rest *should* go smoothly.

I ordered 10 last time. Don't forget to add in about £18 for customs clearance. FedEx billed me a couple of weeks after delivery after I had sent them out. UK postage is about £2.40 each as well.

Thats the same company I used last year. They are the main solarstorm manufacturer.Happy to take one as well if you need the numbers

That reminds me, I still have a spare from when I bought one with my Solarstorm, need to get some decent batteries for it.
What are the highest capacity, think I have 2600s in my other one.?

That's great, I think 10 would cover everyone. Depending on cost and my finances I might get 15 and hold some.
EDIT: No response on pricing yet.

Could you put me down for one too please. Do they come with the fabric holder with velcro strap?

If the order goes through then you're on the list. I've just realised it's the weekend so the lack of response isn't surprising.

If not too late could I be put down for two please? Or one? @crazyjoe101
