Since I think my cast iron brakes are developing a slight warp I have ordered some new Rotors from Braketech in the States. This time I have gone for the stainless steel versions because they are a bit cheaper than ferrous and also because there was only a two week lead time against a month for the iron ones. They are still hideously expensive!
I also have had success getting a total refund from Carrot Cycles for the Shorai battery that failed on me earlier in the year. I had sent it back to them for evaluation and had already bought a new one which has been fine. They have agreed to either send me a brand new one or refund me.
All I can say is that using these batteries for two or three years they are a bit unpredictable. Some seem to be fine, others loose their charge and you certainly can't rely on them being subjected to a lot of water for prolonged time as they don't seem to be sealed and waterproof. (Which is not too good for the SD considering their position on the bike.
