BatteryBackup.co.za is a free quote service for battery backup supplies and services in South Africa. Whether you want the lights, wifi and fridge to stay on through the next outage, a hybrid inverter ready for solar later, a UPS for the office server, a new battery for the gate motor, an inverter that has stopped working fixed, or a power station for the farm, one request reaches the backup power installers and suppliers near you.
How it works
Use the breaker board at the bottom of the page: switch on the circuits that must keep running when the power goes (lights, wifi, the fridge, the gate, the computers or the borehole pump) and set how many hours of backup you want. The charge meter adds up the running watts, the start-up peak and the energy, and shows the inverter and battery size that would carry it. For repairs, installations and recycling, fill in the job ticket; for batteries, UPS units and lights, say how many. We send your request to installers and suppliers who work in your area, and they quote you directly. It costs you nothing.
Everything we take requests for
From a 5 kVA inverter and two lithium modules for a house in Centurion to a 3 phase backup for a Pinetown workshop, a new gate battery in Durban North, a router UPS for a home office in Bellville, a power station for a Karoo farmhouse, a beeping inverter to repair in Pretoria, or a bakkie load of old lead acid batteries to recycle in Germiston.

Getting backup quotes you can compare
Two quotes for "a 5 kVA system" can be very different things. Check that each one names the inverter size and type (hybrid or not, pure sine), the battery chemistry and usable kWh, which circuits go on backup, the changeover and surge protection, cable and labour, the Certificate of Compliance, and what the warranty covers and who handles a claim, in writing. The cheapest quote often leaves out the CoC or uses a smaller battery than it sounds.
