I am posting on behalf of my sister who lives in Hoedspruit, and is not on this forum. She is also not technically minded, so I am trying to get her the best advice I can.
About 13months ago she bought this PSS Inverter with a couple of Blue Nova lead acid batteries. The system worked well whilst she was having 1 or 2 x 2 hour outages a day, but since stages 4, 5, and 6 they are having up to 12 hours a day without power. Obviously her batteries have now given up.
I explained there was no point in buying new lead acid or gel batteries as the same thing would happen again, and suggested lithium only to be told by PSS that her so called inverter is not compatible with lithium. Bad advice from them, from the beginning.
She is using about 350w max at peak in the evenings (65" TV, DSTV, wifi, 2 fans and a couple 9w LED's). She lives in a rented house so there is no option for solar panels and she wants something that is simple to connect and she can take away when she moves.
I suggested this Geewiz Inverter Pack as it gives her the option to add panels at a later date and is basically plug and play. It is a lot of money for her so we need to make the right choice. If anybody has any better options considering that R26k is expensive for her, or thinks the Geewiz options is not good, please let me know. Thank you.
