There will be a shutdown option since the battery monitoring will be included so the pi will shut itself down when low battery but you still have to physically flip the power switch.

No pre-orders just orders. I'm going to through a headache of finding the screens right now and if things don't go my way then it will have to be a different LCD for this build but it is a "Lite" version so I suppose it won't be a deal breaker since I am downsizing on features for it to be cheaper anyways.

Nice. I hope you can find them. Good luck. Yep not much of a deal breaker since it's a lite version.

Nope it's gone but there is ample space on the side of the tin it used to be in if you want to add it yourself.

The screens are no longer available. That's why. He would have to dramatically increase the price to cover the cost of replacement screens and does not want to do that to the community.
