November 30, 20205 yr Hi all Durbanites, I have a client in JHB who is moving to Durban in the new year. I recently (before lockdown) installed an Axpert VP5 and Narada 48v 100Ah LiFePO4 battery as grid backup (no PV), last week I stripped the equipment out as he will be taking it with him down to Durb's. He has asked me if I can recommend anyone in Durban to re-install, which I cant so I am asking you! Anyone that has had a happy experience with a grid backup installation - preferably involving Axpert inverter - please send me a PM with the installer details that I can pass on to my client. Thanks for taking the time.
November 30, 20205 yr I'm curious about an aspect of this move: What precautions must be taken when moving the batteries? Presumably if they are charged there is a chance of shock or fire.
December 1, 20205 yr Author Nope, the battery is a commercial unit with bms, inside a steel box with cells firmly secured, with a circuit breaker that is turned off so that the terminals on the front are dead - off course if you dragged it from JHB to Durbs behind your vehicle then there might be some problems.
