Batteries in Durban: local notes
Lithium modules are the usual choice for houses from Morningside to Glenashley, but salt air near the beachfront and on the Bluff can corrode battery lugs and cable ends, so ask how terminals are protected. Gate motor batteries in Durban North and Westville work hard through summer storms and wear out sooner when outages are frequent. Old lead acid batteries are bought by scrap dealers in Jacobs and Mobeni.
Durban: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Durban gets its electricity from eThekwini Municipality, and the things that cut it here are often weather related. Summer storms bring lightning and heavy rain, flooding can damage substations and cables in low-lying parts, and cable theft still knocks out streets for hours. Most requests come from households on the Berea, in Durban North and in Umhlanga estates who want lights, wifi, the fridge, the gate and the alarm kept running, usually with an inverter and a lithium battery bank. Body corporates in beachfront blocks ask about lifts, booms and pumps. The coast is hard on electronics: humid, salty air corrodes terminals and heat builds up in closed garages, so ask installers where the kit should live.
