Ladysmith notes on batteries
Lead acid batteries cope poorly with the heat in tin-roofed sheds around Colenso and Van Reenen, and lithium also has temperature limits, so a cool spot matters. Many farmers are replacing old deep cycle banks with lithium. Gate motor and alarm batteries are a steady buy for homes in Steadville and the town centre, and scrap dealers in Ezakheni buy old lead acid batteries.
Backing up in Ladysmith
Ladysmith sits in a hot Klip River valley below the Drakensberg, and Alfred Duma Municipality supplies the town, with Eskom serving Ezakheni and much of the surrounding farmland. People here plan backup around summer storms, lightning, flooding near the river, cable theft and faults on long country lines. The main requests are inverter systems for houses in the older suburbs, battery backup for shops in the CBD and borehole and fence backup on cattle and maize farms towards Colenso and Elandslaagte. The Ezakheni industrial area adds factory requests. Summer heat in tin-roofed garages and lightning over the Drakensberg are the two cautions installers raise most, so ask about ventilation and surge protection.
The requests we see from Ladysmith usually come from:
- Homeowners: a new battery so the home computer UPS gives time to save and shut down
- Farms and smallholdings: UPS batteries for the farm office computer and the fence monitor
- Shops, restaurants and salons: new UPS batteries behind tills and card machines at each checkout
