    THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS WHAT IS NOT BEING SHARED: I have such a unit . Unfortunately I lacked so much knowledge at the time of purchase. It initially came with a lead acid battery which I had to replace within 6 months due to high number of power outages, besides it being a low quality battery. Also made many mistakes where I discharged battery beyond 50% and often plugged in something that uses too much wattage at a time that really destroyed the battery. Although lead acid batteries don't mind that too much, hence that is the type of batteries being used in cars for to start-up a car a high wattage burst through quickly. Gel and lithium batteries prefers minimal wattage over long duration. However, the big disspointing factor is that you can't really manually setup the invertor to your needs (which brings the question whether it is really an invertor as that is the crucial aspect of an effective invertor that ensures battery longevity), nor can you add another battery to the invertor because of the poor internal parts of the invertor that will not be able to handle the additional wattage. Hence, one battery in use will mean shorter battery life as if you use 2 batteries for the same wattage. So the best you can really do is to replace the battery with an 1200W battery (gel or lithium) which will give you 4 hours maxed out on a 300w load (which is not absolute). However, best to use it only for 2 hours and to recharge after 50% discharge. All-and-all, for the same price you can get a much better setup custom made with a trolley and 2 batteries. Some advice, don't purchase invertors from shops. Seek a qualified person that can create for you an invertor setup according to your needs (what you want your invertor to power-up and for how long). Cheerios ✌

    Iv got 1 very impressive but what im worried is, when there is NO loadshedding it cant kick to go back to electricity by its own im using it only except i have to switch it off but TV wont be ON without it. Which is frustrating me too much. And the other thing is since they install it when switch on kettle, stove, fridge and microwave when electricity is back it has the deam lights and sign on lights that is making lights lights very very very deam when switching it on and off. When lighting the geyser the tap in the kitchen is choking us very frustrating. When report were i bought it they say i have done something wrong which is i dont NO nothing about electrity cant risk myself to do anything. Were can i get help? Very frustrating and worrying me but i really like than generator making noise?
