They do, the batteries do give in after that. But it's possible that the batteries didn't charge after load shedding 3 hours before.

LOL you think banks ONLY run on UPS?

The UPS runs for like 30 seconds while the multi-megawatt diesel generators start and stabilise. And the literal lake of diesel in the underground tanks will last for days, and there are contingent supply contracts in place, including full tankers parked in strategic locations on standby,

You clearly haven't visited our area during loadshedding. Branches in the mall and ATMs are off.

I was talking about branches and ATMs. Those are what we need to access while in a mall. And with cell towers often down, you cannot make card payments
