NB - WARRANTY INFORMATION (BELOW DOES NOT APPLY IF YOU UPGRADE TO LITHIUM BATTERIES ABOVE)

The standard batteries in this kit are rated to last 150-200 cycles (load sheddings).

During occasional load shedding, at stage 1-3, the average life span is 2 years.

Unfortunately, during constant load shedding, at stage 4 - 6,  these cycles will be depleted within a few months. 

The batteries will also be further degraded due to insufficient time to recharge fully in between load shedding cycles.

**Please note that as soon as the batteries stop lasting, unfortunately the warranty becomes void, as this means that the batteries have depleted their cycles and reached the end of their life.

Please always keep the total load shedding count of 150-200 cycles (high cycle batteries) or 200-250 cycles (deep cycle batteries) in mind when running the system. 

Therefore, during stage 4-6, we highly recommend keeping the inverter’s power switch OFF. Then, only switch it on when the need for backup power is crucial.

This will preserve the longevity of the batteries (please keep it plugged in to the wall permanently to keep it charged).

*Owing to the weight of this item , there will be an additional R795 courier charge.

*Collection from our office in Joburg is at no extra charge

  • Are you in the dark during load shedding?
  • Does your favourite program stop recording on your PVR?
  • Do you need to catch up work on your computer?
  • Does your phone run flat when you need it the most?

You need an inverter system. See below Frequently Asked Questions on how they work:

Q) What is an inverter system and what does it do do?
It is an inverter unit coupled with a battery which provides power when there is load shedding. It keeps its battery charged when there is Eskom power. As soon as Eskom power cuts, the system instantly transfers over to battery power so you can keep your lights, TV, computers (excluding Apple MAC Desktops only), chargers and wifi running during load shedding

Q) Is it easy to connect up? Do I have to fiddle with electronics?
It is super easy The system is plug and play.
The inverter has a regular 3 pin plug that goes into the wall. You then have a 3 way multiplug on the inverter that allows you to connect any appliance you want. Keep the appliances connected at all times, the inverter will automatically switch to battery as soon as it detects Eskom power is down.

Q) How much backup time will I have on the unit before normal Eskom power come back on to recharge the battery?
Assume a computer, TV, and desk lamp are connected to the inverter:
This unit will last 4-6 hours

Only want a lamp, wifi router and laptop connected to the inverter:
This unit will last 10-12 hours

Q) What appliances can I run on the inverter system?
Our plug and play systems will run any appliance that has low power usage and does not have a motor. So you can run TVs, computers, wifi, lights, chargers, etc.
Fridges, fans, heaters are not recommended to be connected to inverters. For those items, we can suggest a more specialised system - please click "contact us" and let us know your requirements.

Please note, this unit is considered as a 'large' UPS - it will not be able to charge a smaller UPS as it is modified sine wave

PLEASE NOTE: This unit is not suitable for use with an Apple IMAC as they require pure sine wave 

Q) What is the warranty/guarantee?

The entire system comes with a full 1 year warranty.

Kit Includes:

1x Mecer 2400VA, 1440W, 24V DC-AC Inverter UPS (20A Charger)
2x Enertec / Energizer / Royal / Deltec / Vision 100Ah 12V Batteries
Steel Battery Case

2x 100AH BATTERIES INCLUDED

    Good day, I want to upgrade the system to 4 or 6 Batteries, will the batteries fit in the cabinet? or do you have larger cabinets. Kind regards Answer:
    You can upgrade to more batteries. This will hold up to 6 batteries. So if you'd like that instead, you can deduct R800 from the kit in question: <a href="http://www.geewiz.co.za/battery-containers/25993-c6-steel-battery-cabinet-holds-6x-100ah-batteries-incl-circuit-breaker.html">http://www.geewiz.co.za/battery-containers/25993-c6-steel-battery-cabinet-holds-6x-100ah-batteries-incl-circuit-breaker.html</a>

    Will this unit function like a normal ups? In other words, can I plug my pc into it and it will stay on when there is a power outage. Also, do I need a special db board for this unit or do I just plug it into a wall socket? Answer:
    Yes, it will function like a regular UPS. It is a plug and play unit, so you will not need a separate DB board. Think of itthe same as normal computer UPS just with extra long run time
  • Asked by Hannes
    13/09/2017
    Is this suitable to run some network equipment in a power outage? Specifically a router, two access points, two low power PCs used for servers and some external hard drives (3.5")? I am a but confused and don't understand when you need "Pure (true) Sine Wave". If this specific unit will not work please can you recommend something else? Answer:
    Yes. For those items, modified sine wave is fine and it can definitely run all of that for a few hours
  • Asked by Marilise

    in your advert you say there is a 1yr guarantee. will it be a onsite repair or do i have to take it in for repairs and what does the guarantee cover Answer:
    It is a carry in warranty. The warranty covers the inverter and battery against manufacturer faults - so for example, if your batteries suddenly stop holding charge or the inverter stops giving output, we will then send it in for repair/replacement
  • Asked by Craig
    01/03/2019
    Can you daisy-chain these inverters to make them supply power longer? Answer:
    Yes, but rather than add more inverters, all you need to do is just add another 2 batteries

    what is the difference between 10 A and 20 A Answer:
    10A is the recommended charging speed. Change it to 20A only if you need a fast charge for whatever reason
  • Asked by a guest
    16/02/2020
    Why does the description exclude Apple Mac, won't the inverter charge a MacBook Pro Answer:
    Macbook Pro will be OK. Apple Mac desktop uses a power correction PSU, so needs a pure sine wave inverter.
  • Asked by a guest
    16/02/2020
    On your mecer 2400va inverter does it use pure sine or modified sine wave output? Answer:
    It is a modified sine wave unit
  • Asked by Louis Ackermann
    18/02/2020
    Why not apple mac? Answer:
    Apple Mac uses a special power correcting PSU - this type of PSU requires a pure sine wave inverter to operate
  • Asked by Suraldi Nel
    20/08/2020
    Is it safe to run a smart TV off a modified sine wave? I am confused as to what electronics cannot be run on modified sine wave - would appreciate guidance! Answer:
    Yes, it is safe. Generally any motor products and highly sensitive items like large audio amplifiers should be avoided with modified sine wave. Smart TVs will work 100%.

1. Your choice of couriers

1. Your choice of couriers for the area should be reviewed.
2. The one wheel with the break on was already broken on arrival. When we unpacked and lifted it off the pallet the metal spring of the wheel also came off. I have not complained to anyone yet as I want to see the performance and will then feedback. Nicole was however outstanding in her support.

Best purchased I have made in my life.

I purchased this unit about a month ago with the 100AH AGM Deep Cycle (600+ cycles) batteries. Yesterday we had our first power outage, which lasted almost 24 hours, to put it to the test.. below is a brief summary:

Power went out at 2am the morning..

2am - Fiber and WiFi Modem Only plugged in.
8am - Plugged in a lamp, 2 laptops (constantly on charge), two additional monitors, two cellphone chargers on top of the routers already plugged in.
2pm - battery drops to 75%.
6pm - Switched on TV, switched off all other electronics, just WiFi and a lamp running in addition.
11pm - Switched everything off, battery drops to 50%.
12pm - power finally restored.

By my estimate I could have enough battery to last till the next day, so about a 1 - 2 days of battery life using basic electronic. Highly recommended for small business or people working from home during lock down who wanted uninterrupted power supply.

Nice little solution

With the looming spectre of load shedding resuming after lockdown, and working from home becoming the new norm, this is a must have for anyone working from home. Very happy with my purchase.
