  1.    Energy-Jason reacted to a post in a topic: Pylontech Backup/support on SA :(
  2. Great to hear. Will agree it can only be good for their brand and the local client base. G
  3. dont understand this reply... G
  4. Curious who you guys use to ship batteries… seems Pylontech SA warrantee is not worth the paper it is written on, Battery is physically deformed, swollen, but no, they want to first do test on it to confirm it’s damaged, and as it's a Lithium battery, it gets extra expensive to ship, that size, that weight, Lithium to Cpt. So much premium brand, premium backup. now starting to regret Pylontech. One of the comments made to me, this cost Pylontech SA... so they don't like (aka look for any excuse not to) warrantee's... vs International more concerned about Brand image/reputation... so hope i can maybe get international to step in G
  5. I'm in Johannesburg, and mobile, closer to Rose bank of BeyersNaude will be nice. Any comments on MCA batteries for UPS usage. G
  6. Hi guys. Anyone have a good source / CSB What other makes are good (what are avoid them’s), this is the old standard alarm system/Garage door/Gate size battery. Need a couple G
  7. Hi guys Other than Tuya compatible that can talk to Home Assistant. Anyone know of a Wifi capable breaker that talk mqtt direct or that has a ESP32 that can be flashed with Tasmoto. 20, 32, 40, 50 amp options, G
  8. might have a Vertiv GX3 offered. Hmm at that price I can get 2 units => Hikvision DS-UPS3000 G
  9. I'm lucky that I have a good Victron system up the line with allot more power, so this UPS would be good if it can handle the load for 20-30min / max. I'd rather have a 2kva or 3kva, meaning i'm running allot lower % of the capability of the UPS. G
  10. @TaliaB scared to ask what the 3kva units cost. G
  11. doing some more thinking, i have about 750W load from the computer rack. If everything is on. That means with a 0.8 power factor, I’m good for about 1hour on a 1kva, please someone, tell me i’m not smoking my socks. concern point would be to what charge level of the batteries would this be, we know lead acid’s/gel don’t like to dip below 50%. so I’d think I might be ok with a 2kva ups. G
  12. only have $$ as per insurance pay out, I would love a Delta, but can't see that fit into that budget. G
  13. the 3 pin sa plug is on the 3kva unit, from online specs it seems to have 4 x IEC (10amp) and 1 SA 3pin/16amp plug. G
