Many older homes in Jouberton and Alabama still run lead acid trolleys, and upgrading to 12V or 48V lithium is a common next step. Farmers rely on deep cycle batteries for electric fences and remote gates. Mine and farm workshops sell their old lead acid batteries to scrap dealers in the industrial area.

Gold mining and maize farming built Klerksdorp, and both still shape requests for backup power. The City of Matlosana supplies the town and suburbs, buying bulk from Eskom, while Eskom serves some farms and mine areas directly. Parts of the older network see faults, cable theft is common, and summer thunderstorms bring lightning across the open maize lands. Families in Flamwood, Wilkoppies and Doringkruin back up wifi, lights, the fridge and the gate. Shops in the CBD and Freemanville ask for tills and fridges to keep running. Farms out towards Hartbeesfontein want borehole pumps, electric fences and grain silo controls covered. Heat in summer means batteries need a shaded, ventilated spot.
