What to know locally in North West
Farm stores and battery shops in Lichtenburg, Klerksdorp's Flamwood area and Brits stock deep cycle batteries for fence energisers and lithium banks for pumps. Mine contractors around Marikana and Mooinooi buy 12 V and 24 V lithium for vehicles and site huts. Lithium can refuse to charge in a frozen shed on a winter morning, so ask about the battery's cold limits before fitting it outside.
Power in North West
North West mixes the platinum belt with maize country, and the backup requests follow the money and the distances. Around Rustenburg and Brits, mines and their suppliers run large 3 phase systems, while nearby homes and complexes want ordinary inverter setups. Out towards Lichtenburg, Mahikeng and the western farms, Eskom lines run for kilometres, and a fault on one can take days to reach. Some municipal networks are also stretched, with ageing substations and local breakdowns. Borehole pumps, irrigation controllers, electric fences and farm fridges top the lists. Dry heat in summer and real frost in winter both test batteries in sheds, and lightning over the open plains makes surge protection worth asking for.
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
- Factories, warehouses, schools and churches: heavy gate and boom batteries for warehouse and factory entrances
