Worcester notes on batteries
Summer afternoons in the Breede Valley are hard on batteries left in a tin shed. Farmers near Wolseley and Rawsonville running lead acid on irrigation pumps often find the bank wears out sooner than expected, and many are moving to lithium, which also has heat limits worth asking about. Homes in Langerug and Worcester West mostly buy lithium modules for an inverter. Packhouses generate old forklift batteries, and scrap dealers in the industrial area buy lead acid.
Power in Worcester
Breede Valley Municipality supplies Worcester, and Eskom supplies many of the farms in the valley directly. The cuts here are usually from storms, wind, cable theft and faults on long farm lines out towards De Doorns and Rawsonville. Fruit and wine farms in the Hex River Valley and along the Breede River need backup on cold stores, packhouses, irrigation pumps and cellar equipment, so many requests are for 3 phase systems. Homes in Worcester's suburbs ask for inverters to run lights, wifi, TVs and gates. Summers in the valley are very hot, and garages and sheds can get far too hot for batteries, so ask about where the bank should go.
Who asks for battery recycling around Worcester, most often first:
- Farms and smallholdings: selling old tractor, bakkie and fence batteries to a scrap dealer
