Batteries in Upington: local notes
Battery banks in Upington need protecting from heat, so ask about ventilated, shaded cabinets and the battery's operating temperature. Farmers near Kakamas and Groblershoop use 12V lithium and deep cycle batteries for electric fences and remote pumps. Gate motor batteries in town wear faster in the heat. Farms should plan collection of old batteries with a scrap dealer or recycler.
Upington: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Upington has some of the strongest sunshine in the country, and that shapes every backup power conversation here. Solar panels charge batteries well, but the same heat is hard on battery banks and inverters left in hot sheds or under tin roofs. The Dawid Kruiper Municipality supplies the town, buying from Eskom, while Eskom supplies many farms and settlements along the Orange River directly over long lines. Storms, lightning and faults on those long lines cause outages. Grape, raisin and date farms near Kanoneiland and Keimoes want irrigation pumps and packhouse fridges covered. Homes in town back up aircon fans, lights and wifi, and lodges want guests comfortable through an outage.
The requests we see from Upington usually come from:
- Farms and smallholdings: lithium batteries for the farmhouse, electric fence and a borehole pump inverter
- Homeowners: a 5 kWh lithium battery behind the inverter to carry lights, wifi and the fridge
- Shops, restaurants and salons: a lithium bank that keeps tills, card machines and fridges running in outages
