WestCoastUPS

If you can't collect and pay C.O.D. then it must be a scam. I just skimmed through the other products and they seemed reasonable. 50 points to anyone that gets a pic of their offices.....

The prices seem reasonable, not ridiculously low. If you can collect and pay, I would say its legit. I wouldn't put money in their account. Maybe someone in the area should visit them.

I have 2 x UP5000 only used for less than a year. What is your budget?

You can also try PSS Distributors in Johannesburg. The PSS branded 12V 9Ah are almost as good as CSB, but a bit cheaper. Address: 19 Angus Crescent, Longmeadow Business Park East Angus Cres, Modderfontein, Edenvale, 1609 Phone: 011 608 4259

UPS mode has a shorter transfer time from mains loss to inverter power, used for sensitive electronic equipment.

I have a working 10kVA GP810 PSS Transformer based UPS but its in Cape Town.

Does anyone know what happened to the LuxPower App on Google PlayStore. It seems to have disappeared. A client lost his phone and is trying to re-install the App, but its gone!

A client without solar just endured a 36 hour blackout due to cable theft in Claremont Cape Town. He only lasted 20 hours until the domestic turned on the washing machine. I heard an interesting story that the saboteurs (power station managers) had all been fired, which is why there is no load shedding. To me it makes the most sense.

Today I had two clients experiencing the same issue. One with a Sunsynk 5kW inverter and the other with an RCT 5.6kW and a Synapse 5kW inverter. The first client has 4 Hubble X101 with no comms with the Sunsynk. The other has 2 Hubble AM2 on each inverter also with no comms. With the RCT I powered everything off, then powered back up again, and the batteries went from 2 lights to 5 in about an hour, charging at 10amps per battery. The other client is trying the same with his Sunsynk. Did 3 months of no load shedding damage the batteries I wonder?

Has anyone tried to apply for this and what was the result? Is it viable? https://businesstech.co.za/news/energy/751038/cape-town-starts-buying-excess-solar-from-residents-heres-how-to-apply/

I had a Kodak OG5.48 pop on me as soon as I connected it up. 4 months later SegenSolar finally repaired it under warranty. Never bought another Kodak.

I'm in Cape Town and get around R9 per kg scrap value. That was a few months ago though. Generally I find that if one battery is gone the rest soon follow and I don"t have the time to test them.

If they are in parallel it would be better to only use one charger. Can you send a pic of the battery and the charger specs?
