Deep Cycle Batteries in George

What to know locally in George
Damp is the thing to watch with batteries along this stretch of coast. In Wilderness and Herold's Bay, a battery in a garage against an outside wall can sit in humid air for weeks, so ask for a dry indoor spot and a look at the terminals at each service. Homes in Blanco and Eden mostly buy lithium; dairy farms towards Waboomskraal still run some lead acid, which scrap dealers in the George industrial area will buy.

George is the business and service centre of the Garden Route, and George Municipality supplies the town while Eskom serves some farms and outlying areas. Outages come from storms, wind, cable theft and faults on long lines along the coast and into the mountains. Retirees in Heatherlands and Blanco ask for simple inverter systems to run lights, TV, wifi and the fridge, and some for home medical devices. Dairy farms and hops and berry growers inland ask about backup for milking parlours, pumps and cold rooms.
