Batteries in Pinetown: local notes
Highway homes in Waterfall and Hillcrest with long driveways rely on gate motor batteries, and these often fail first in a run of outages. Larger 48V lithium banks are going into houses in Everton and Forest Hills that run a home office through long cuts. Factories in Mahogany Ridge with old forklift and UPS batteries can ask for business collection, and lead acid is bought by scrap dealers in Pinetown.
Pinetown: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Factories and warehouses in New Germany, Westmead and Mahogany Ridge set the tone for backup power in Pinetown. When a feeder trips, a production line, a cold store or a packing machine stops, so the bigger requests are for 3 phase systems, critical-load circuits and UPS units on control panels. eThekwini supplies most of the area, and outages come from storm damage on exposed lines along the ridges, cable theft in industrial streets and ageing equipment. Up the hill in Kloof, Gillitts and Hillcrest, households want an inverter that runs lights, the borehole pump, the gate and the home office. Mist and heavy summer rain keep things damp, so ask about dry, ventilated places for the batteries.
