You probably are responsible for 30 of those pages. Post whoring and defending a scammer that has zero business/people/customer acumen. If anyone was on the fence about Scott, pretty sure that changed when he started posting and digging his own grave.

Between the two of you, dropping the average IQ of this thread by a lot.

You lost me at scammer because I dont see a scammer in this thread. But anyways its night time now, lets continue with the name calling tomorrow from 9am until 5pm.

So once again which is it? Do you want support, or do you want to continue grandstanding and trying to litigate this in a public forum?

There's clearly no warranty fraud as you claim:

1. I still DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE, you have not once reached out to me with your issues.

But I have. To no avail.

2. I am freely offering to help diagnose if there is a problem.

I know the most obvious and likely problem is related to problematic cell/s. What's the fix for that? Individual cell testing, identification of which cells are problematic and need replacement. Then there's the issue of replacement cells not matching existing cells in terms of cycles and wear etc etc. Which wreaks havoc down the line. Thing is, I do know a bit about batteries, so I'm able to identify likely causes and best solutions. That's why your solution to the others with the same issue was a replacement. That solution made sense.
ScottulusMaximus said:
3. I am willing and capable of repairing your unit if there is an issue.
Click to expand...
I doubt this. With some respect. I seriously doubt this. You are not the manufacturer. Just some guy that brought these in and saw an opportunity to make money. Nothing wrong with that. But you appear to tinker to solve. That's not an indication of capability. One can't possibly have trust in that model.
ScottulusMaximus said:
4. There's literally a post from you on Carb wishing you bought a second battery.
Click to expand...
Yes. And I was really happy with the battery and sung its and your praises. Right up until the point that the problem started and I reached out to you on Carbonite and got nothing. In fact, I would like to apologize to battery buyers for playing any part (if I did) by those posts on Carbonite if they may have convinced someone to commit to a battery purchase from you.
ScottulusMaximus said:
There is no bad deal here, you jumped on a bandwagon because you thought you could pressure into a new replacement unit (which I have no obligation to provide, read the warranty) and now you can't get off.
Click to expand...
You still can't admit that your actions warranted a bad deal? That's pitiful.

Either way - I consider this done and dusted. I've cut my losses and moved on. Don't have the time or patience left to expend any more of that to you. I didn't at any point expect you to do the right thing.

I'll watch your, what seems to be an inevitable further decline, from the sidelines. Good luck bud, I reckon you're going to need it.

So what if he’s advertising? That’s part of how business works. You have to spend money to make money.

Telling him to just settle his debt isnt helpful. chances are, he doesn’t have the cash on hand to do that.

It makes sense to try and generate sales and use part of the profit to gradually pay off what he owes. No?
 
In hindsight, ESKOM loadshedding made some people/companies a lot of money.

If their timing was spot on ........look at how Ellie's ****ed up......caught napping, board fast asleep, company missed the boat completely and the results of years of mismanagement caused them to go bankrupt costing investors millions. From a shining star on the JSE to a piece of bankrupt **** 💩

Scott should have not dabbled in batteries. But, the rewards would have been too great if ESKOM had continued with loadshedding and he had lot's of stock in SA to sell.........so he took a gamble and imported lot's of stock .....and it backfired. Kak luck. ****ing ESKOM. Even when they are functioning properly they **** up people's lives 🤬 .

Back in the real world this is called reckless trading.

Yes, but in the real world you also need a judgment confirming that he was found guilty of reckless trading. I don't see that info here. Maybe I missed it. can you point me to it?

A formal court judgment isn’t required to recognise reckless conduct - it’s enough to observe a clear pattern of behaviour that puts creditors and consumers at risk. Continuing to trade while outstanding liabilities remain unresolved is not a legitimate strategy. If you want to trade your way out of insolvency, you apply for business rescue. You don’t pretend to liquidate, ignore creditors, and then start up again like nothing happened.

I don't have a single documented case of comms from you. You may have reached out, I may have missed it, doesn't change that I still don't know who you are or how I need to help.
Qui_Illustrati said:

Exactly, takes me 1min with my laptop. IF there's an issue diagnosed while it's on site, could well be a settings issue, I DON'T KNOW because you haven't let me troubleshoot your system.

Qui_Illustrati said:

Those were OOB BMS issues, it's why we changed the BMS in the 2nd batch. So it may be the problem but I DON'T KNOW the issues you are experiencing.

Nope. I didn't white label these. They were custom built for me, I have comms with the designer, made the specifications and prototyped the units myself. Not a single other person in the world sold these batteries.

Yeah, well no. I should have done a better job at dabbling in the batteries.

quovadis said:

Yeah, well no. I pulled the plug when I realised creditors couldn't be paid and tried to go the Business Rescue/Liquidation route (R1000 per hour/R10k + respectively), unfortunately I am faaaaar too small for this to be a viable option, literally can't afford the lawyers to do it properly.

So trying to trade is my only option to try and repay the debts.

I think you may wish to consult an attorney. You're running the risk of a complaint and possible ineligibility as a director in the future not to mention personal liability. Not being able to afford business rescue or liquidation is not generally accepted as a legal excuse for failing to act when a company is financially distressed. You have legal obligations in terms of the companies act.

If he stops trading and liquidates, the people he owes money to won’t see a cent. You guys are beating a dead horse. Does it really matter now how he handled things? He’s back, trying to recover so he can pay off his debts and make things right. Let the man trade.

And just to be clear, I don’t agree with how he handled things either. I’m not excusing it. But at least he’s trying to fix it, albeit with a chip on his shoulder.

Yeah it matters, it's the companies act. Possible criminal and civil liability way in excess of just his company.

If he's doing anything other than COD he's going to struggle finding customers
 
My best impression of AI:

When making amends, do it in chronological order
Those who were affected first deserve priority treatment.

New investments that pay old investments are otherwise known as “Ponzi Schemes”
Spending money advertising while there’s at least one disgruntled customer is a bad look.

GPT style is tiresome.
