What to know locally in Polokwane
Limpopo heat is hard on batteries, so ask about the operating temperature of any lithium battery and keep it out of the sun. Homes in Seshego and Westenburg often swap lead acid trolleys for 12V lithium. Gate motor batteries in Bendor complexes need replacing more often in a hot climate. Spent lead acid goes to scrap dealers in Ladanna, while lithium needs a specialist recycler.
Backing up in Polokwane
Polokwane is Limpopo's commercial centre, a hot, dry place where summer heat is the main enemy of batteries and electronics. Polokwane Municipality supplies the city and many suburbs, buying from Eskom, while Eskom supplies many surrounding villages and farms directly. Summer storms with lightning, cable theft and faults on long rural lines interrupt power. Families in Bendor and Flora Park back up wifi, lights, fans and the gate. Retailers along Landdros Mare Street and wholesalers in Ladanna want tills, fridges and freezers covered. A battery bank in a hot garage or on a north wall will age faster, so choose a cool, shaded spot.
The requests we see from Polokwane usually come from:
- Homeowners: dropping off an old inverter bank, gate battery or car battery for scrap
- Shops, restaurants and salons: taking away old till UPS batteries and a trolley battery from the shop
- Offices and home offices: removing worn UPS blocks from every desk and the server room
