Loadshed box will ease your load-shedding frustrations.

I'm a computer programmer who works from home. In that job, you can’t be effective on a 15” screen. The external big 4K screen is essential. Load-shedding makes the lack of a big screen incredibly frustrating. So, I broke the bank and bought a 1000w, 216ah system with a pure sine-wave inverter. The pure sine-wave is essential for high-tech devices. In the two load-shedding downtimes since installation, it performed perfectly. The load consisted of two large LED TVs, two PCs, two routers, DSTV Explorer, various chargers for phones/tablets. From the graphic display on the inverter, seems the battery capacity dropped to around 80% after two hours. We need to move to stage @#$% for that to be a problem. On the downside. The fans are quiet, but still a little annoying. They spin up every hour or so for 5-10 minutes while battery top-up is happening. After two hours of load-shedding the fans run for approx. four hours. Soft music would mask the sound, but I prefer silence. I have the box in the study, so moving it elsewhere will solve the problem. The bottom-line. They have a one-battery option, but I opted for two deep-cycle batteries in anticipation of more frequent and longer load-shedding. Bear in mind that deep cycle batteries are around R3k a pop. My total was over R8000 for the lot, including R700 delivery. Delivery in Gauties is free so you will save. Yes, it hurts, but the reduction in frustration with Eksdom will make up for it.

Throughout the enquiry, order, and delivery process, the folks from https://loadshedbox.co.za were in touch and checking on the progress of delivery. I asked questions by email and got called back on cell phone to address the questions. Their customer service is exemplary and commendable. Local should be lekker. These guys make it so.
