Batteries in Newcastle: local notes
Lead acid deep cycle banks are still common on farms around Dannhauser and Charlestown, but many owners move to lithium when the old bank dies. Ask about low temperature charging limits, since frosty nights in Newcastle can affect lithium in an unheated shed. Gate motor batteries in Signal Hill and Aviary Hill are a frequent buy, and scrap dealers in the industrial area take old lead acid.
Power in Newcastle
In northern KwaZulu-Natal, Newcastle Municipality supplies the town and older suburbs, while townships such as Madadeni and Osizweni, and farms in the district, are often supplied directly by Eskom. Outages come from storms rolling off the Drakensberg escarpment, lightning, cable theft and faults on long rural lines. The steel works and the textile and clothing factories create demand for business backup and UPS units, while homes in Lennoxton, Aviary Hill and Signal Hill want the TV, fridge, lights and gate kept running. Farmers towards Utrecht and Dannhauser ask about borehole pumps and electric fences. Winters here are cold, and some lithium batteries will not charge below about 0 °C, so ask about where the bank goes.
