What to know locally in Benoni
Battery shops along Tom Jones Street and in Northmead stock 48V lithium modules, 12 V deep cycle batteries and gate motor batteries.

Old lead acid can go to scrap dealers in Apex.
Power in Benoni
Benoni is on the City of Ekurhuleni network, but it has more variety than most East Rand towns. Lakeside homes in Lakefield and Farrarmere sit near smallholdings in Benoni Small Farms and Putfontein, and the townships of Daveyton and Etwatwa lie to the east. Outages come from cable theft, aged overhead lines on the plots and summer storms, with local load reduction still reported in parts of the townships. Smallholders want borehole pumps, electric fences and chicken houses kept running. Families near the lakes want lights, wifi and the gate covered. Daveyton households lean toward trolleys and small lithium kits. Lightning over open ground is a concern on the plots.
Typical gate motor batteries requests in the area come from:
- Homeowners: a fresh 7 Ah battery so the driveway gate opens during outages
- Farms and smallholdings: a larger gate battery for a long farm entrance gate on a solar charger
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: batteries for every gate, boom and pedestrian gate in the complex
