Yeah... Well aware of that🤣

Yeah, good point. To be really honest, I am a bit OCD on neatness and the Pylontechs really look great:) Call it confirmation bias, but guess I just needed your guys help to push me in the pylontech direction and justify it from technical, value point of view... maybe go with one to start out and just ration my power use in load shedding... guess we have got by with a led torch and 3 AAA batteries the past few years, so should do ok on one pylon for now;)

I worked on 90% efficiency... That is in the 3.9kw mentioned.

Thanks for the advice! Think i covered your questions in reply to Deepbass9... So that 1 x Pylon carried you through a load shedding section? What is the recharge time, if you know?

Thanks... was not sure if I could chance it with one. But maybe I can. So absolute worst case for 2.5 hours of LS I have worked out 3.9Kw. Well that is max i could possibly draw through my essential load circuit in that time, but absolutey uneccesary to do that. Total amps would be around 14A. Hmmm... maybe 1 US 3000 is the way to go... Thanks!

Hi all, I have been keen to get going witha proper back up system and as usual just got started with it and never really planned/ costed it out properly. So i have installed new db so far and split the essential from non-essential loads. Essential loads is all lights (all LED globes), fridge, Tv and two routers. Already have 1 x Kodak OGX 5.48 (5kw, 48v) ready to be installed. So i was just quickly (haha) going to buy 2 or 3 x Pylontech US 3000's with a cabinet and be done, right? Well that idea came to a halt when i realised i would have to drain my kids college funds to make this purchase:))) Please help me with a plan B? Do I go with 4 x AGMs in series? Will I need to further parallel these with another 4 x AGMs... buying Pylontechs just seemed so neat, safe, reliable and convenient, but not worth the money given other priorities I have. PS. Its just backup power at this point. Have not planned for solar at this point.
