Battery back-up

Battery back up is an effective alternative to a generator

Single battery back-up unit Inverter unit only	The battery back-up system has been designed to supply power for home and small business. The unit can power appliances such as TV, DSTV, DVD, fish tanks, lights, alarm system, garage door motor, gate motors etc. “when the power deserts you”! For business use such as CCTV, tills, credit card machine, lighting, computers, etc. The system takes 12v or 24v depending on the unit and converts it into 220v. The unit detects the power failure and automatically switches the battery back-up on to supply 220v to essential equipment. When the power is restored the unit automatically switches off and the house mains supply runs normally. The batteries are then charged through an intelligent charger once the mains power is returned and cannot be overcharged. Once fully charged, a trickle charge will keep the batteries topped up until the next power failure. Units available 300w / 500va 600w / 1000va 800w / 1330va	Double battery back-up unit 102 Amp/h deep cycle battery
Extra batteries in their own housing are also available, giving longer run times to your equipment.

 

What the unit can be used for

TV’s, DSTV, video machines, DVD’s, lighting, fish tank’s, security systems, garage door openers, gate motors, outdoor, camping etc.

What can’t be connected to the unit

Stoves, geysers, washing machines, tumble driers, kettles, laser printers, photocopiers etc.

Unit protection

All the units have a circuit breaker, are fused, protected against high voltage surges and are earthed. A strong ventilated steel casing protects the unit and makes it durable. Two handles are attached to the top of the unit for ease of transporting.

They are much more environmentally friendly and have automatic switch over when a power failure occurs with automatic charging of batteries once the power is reinstated.

Maintenance

The complete unit is totally maintenance free.

Battery charging

The unit has an automatic intelligent charger that cannot overcharge the battery.

The greater the charge, the quicker the battery is charged, shortening the life the battery. The unit charges at a slower rate lengthening the life of the battery.

The unit will start to beep as the battery level drops to its minimum voltage level and will automatically cut out once that minimum level is achieved. 

Once the mains power has returned the battery charges at maximum charge and decreases the charge rate as the battery reaches full. At this point the charger starts to trickle charge to maintain the fully charged status.
