I actually talked to them, seems like they are gearing up for smaller cell business. I like the price, but looking at the website they seem to be more geared towards building trucks and buses

Is the beginning of the price breakthrough many of us have been waiting for? Any thoughts on interconnects?

If it pans out I'd call it progress, but it's no breakthrough.

In my view if you have a price that will not go lower for long time and it starts to drop, that is a breakthrough in the floor of the price and it is progress to less expensive batteries.

I received this email today:

We can ship via courier door-to-door or by land/sea to your nearest
international port.

Please let me know what cells you're interested in so I can give you a quote for
your reference.

Thanks
Peter

What is the connection between Balqon and Everspring?

None that I know of. However others are saying that Balgon is saying it is the authorized distributor, and Everspring is making the same claim.
Everspring is out of china.
Independent of the this thread, I am always looking for Products for my Eccommerce site.

As a side note the Balgon site, over the weekend, had a price of $850 for the 1000ah, and now they have jumped it up a $100, so now it matches the buy it now price on Ebay.

Found this on BALQON website, Winston Chung is the Chairman of the Board and owns 42% of Balqon, so must be legit http://www.balqon.com/board-of-direc...dc01e698a624d3
