Battery prices crashing??

I've just looked on ITS technology, and the Sunsynk CATL 5.12kWh battery, which I paid ~£1700 + VAT in May is now £1225!!
Is this a general thing due to overcapacity, or getting rid of the older design battery?
Pylontech 4.8kWh is still £1185 + vat - they were hundreds different before

Wondering if I should get another one to top up my capacity to 15kWh, and maximise the Flux import benefits?

Although thinking about it, at maximum charging rate of 3.6kW, on the 3 hour low cost slot, I can only charge up by max. 10.8kWh, so it won't fill the 3rd battery from empty (20%)

Prices are falling back to their pre-energy-crisis levels. The 2.4kWh Pylontechs cost £780 which is £20 more than I paid 4 years ago.
