Eskom might implement Stage 4 load-shedding to manage its diesel reserves

Holy Sausages Batman...
WTF is that...

I think he might have accidentally eaten kopdoek.

Question - how fast do the lithium ion batteries re-charge when grid tied? Think its time to bite the bullet on this.

much prefer the night time shedding so at least can still work in day, but 20:00 to 22:30 is a bitch of a time to have no power. Friday, Saturday and now tonight on stage 4. I envy you guys with solar, **** fancy cars or the finer things in life, if you got a solar setup you are living the elite high life. Power is becoming a luxury.

Fast, but grid-tied will not work during loadshitting.

I set my AM-2 to be charged at 50A. So a complete drain to 0% will take 2 hours to charge back up

FYI I know you cheating, you photoshopped/modelled and posted the 2023 version of his stomach by predicting his stomach growth based upon the rate of corruption, but you forgot to minus contraction due to the drawn nutrition of the baby...

AM-2 is 1C
50A at 48V = 2.4kW (a kettle is about 2kW)

Proper brand = 1C

Mostly depends on what the inverter & wires can push.

Was thinking of doing something like this, as I don't want to go overboard with a full system :

5kva loadshedding backup kit with 5-10hrs backup time Wall mount Battery – SKYNaT Energy

skynat.co.za

burning a lot of diesel

This isn't hard to get.... Your 'suppliers' are paying your 'employees' to break **** so you need to burn a lot... until you figure it out, you will continue to do so

I have parameters setup as per install manual

Discharge is set to 100A
charge is set to 50A

Have you bought from them before or know someone personally who bought from them before?

No - they're in Gauteng, so won't be using them anyway - will look for something similiar in Cape Town .

Okay perfect! That shop is a scam. Just checked their reviews and pricing

If your requirements are simple, you might as well look at a power trolley solution from geewizz?

It's not simple, basically want the house functioning during load shedding. (all but geyser) - we currently use an average of 45kw a day, with the geyser using about 15kw.

I don't want to go full off grid because we'll never a return as we won't be here for more than 3-4 years.

Is there anything in this cuntry working besides the guy that turns the power off.

Will you be leaving the equipment behind or look at reselling it when you about to leave? It does pick up a house value when looking to sell also from what I hear.

Or long story short budget lol
