I purchased from them and it's not R1499 it's actually R1000 when you check out. Purchased on Thursday last week and it arrived Monday. Would recommend.

today’s price at onedealaday.co.za

many clones of this 8800mAh device also available on Takealot

it is able to power an NVR/DVR with 4 cameras and a router during a 2:15 loadshedding stint (not eniugh for 4 hours without power though)

The 18650 lithium battery inside lasts for about a year of loadshedding

How do you replace the charger?
The CCTV PSUs have a built-in charger, right? So how do you put in a more powerful charger and still have it switch from AC to battery when the power drops and so on?

We have it connected to both chargers.

We were very dubious about having the two chargers connected simultaneously, with much conflicting advice on the matter.

My final thoughts on that are that the 7A charger does not conflict with the 0.8A charger, but merely overrides it.. so far has worked without issue.

Also purchased one of these from TAL, never held it's charge for longer than 20 minutes. Returned it and just paid a bit more for a Gizzu.

It lasted over 6 hours on a huawei 4g router/wifi :thumbsup:

I think preference will go to the charger that has the higher voltage.
 
I am testing this unit for a customer. So far has worked without fault.

It seems to be the same unit Lalela has, but it has pss branding.

Once again though you have to manage the load. You cannot buy any device without regard to the load size you intend to apply to it.

Yes I see the CCTV power supplies... just don't know enough to see what the efficiency would be and whether an intelligent charger wouldn't be better.

I'm guessing I could simply connect the CPE, router, alarm, raspberry pi + sensors directly to my current alarm battery/charger if the charger can handle it? Then assuming I can add batteries as I want, I can connect a higher load to the batteries only during loadshedding (lights)?

As a cctv provider we use these extensively.

If your load is 0.4 or 0.7 amp or less, you should be ok throughout loadshedding with a 7Ah SLA battery.

Anything more than that - putting a bigger battery or a lithium battery to this unit, won't help you.

You will need to add a smart charger.

LFP's have the same capacity, regardless of load:

I think the point was missed. SLA or Lithium. If your load exceeds the 50% DOD on an SLA or 80% DOD on a lithium battery you are in the same boat. First calculate your load, calculate that load to be maintained for 4 hours (stage 6) loadshedding. Once you know those parameters you can spec your battery, whether it's lithium or SLA.

Thanks. Can you give an example of a charger you used, please? Doesn't have to be a link, just brand or model. I'm struggling to find LFP chargers.

I commonly use Meanwell ENC range. However the Victron Chargers are also good.

We have both Victron and Meanwell available in various capacities.
 
Oh, Didn't notice the question was restricted to Alarm batteries?

We don't use these on alarms, but rather battery banks carrying a number of CCTV cameras and Ubiquity Wireless Stations on estate perimeters.

Meanwell also offers much smaller capacities, in the 1A, 1.6, 2A ranges for example.
