Voltex and the Gift of the Givers team joined forces to provide assistance to those in need. In a collaborative effort, Voltex reached out to the Gift of the Givers team and expressed their desire to support a poverty-stricken community facing challenging circumstances.

After careful consideration, the Gift of the Givers team selected the community of Swartruggens due to its high levels of unemployment, financial hardships, and unmet essential needs.

On July 3, 2023, the Gift of the Givers team, accompanied by Mr. Motsidi, the district manager, and Ms. Kgaboesele, the provincial manager of North West, teamed up with Voltex to distribute food parcels generously donated by Voltex to the community of Swartruggens. This initiative aimed to alleviate the community’s struggle by providing them with essential sustenance and support.

Many homes and businesses are choosing inverters as a backup option. Inverters support your internet and laptop computers and other essential items such as lights etc.

Batteries for Inverters need almost no maintenance. You can keep them in good shape to ensure they last longer with these 7 easy tips.

Consider solar panels for charging your batteries as an alternate source of power to ensure that the batteries are charged. Solar systems are a lifesaver in a country where the power is unstable. Get the power you need for an extended period from solar systems!

1. Find the Right Battery. Your #1 Important Factor for Longevity.

Correct battery selection will go a long way to keeping your inverter powered up. Select the best one you can afford. Battery capacity will make a difference in how much power the inverter can supply.

It is your #1 important part of your inverter. The power in watts capacity is an excellent guide for how long the battery power will last.

2. Why It’s Important to Place Inverters in a Dry, Ventilated Space

Your inverter should stand in a dry, ventilated, and open space. The reason is inverters placed in a closed space could overheat and rust. 

Inverters produce large amounts of power, causing them to heat while being charged and discharged. It is imperative they have enough room to dissipate the heat. Proper placement will prevent damage.

Keep your inverter out of direct sunlight in a cool dark spot. A larger inverter may need even more space, for example, your garage would be perfect. Some people choose to install an air conditioner in the room where the inverter is kept to ensure a cool, consistent temperature and environment.

3. Always Keep Your Battery Fully Charged

Keep your battery charged all the time. Allowing the backup power of your inverter to run down altogether reduces longevity. Running your battery down frequently will shorten the lifespan of the inverter.

Lead acid batteries and other battery types cannot handle the full depth of discharge time and again. This means they shouldn’t be used until the battery has no power. If you have a lead acid battery, it’s vital to keep it above the 50% charge mark so that it will last longer.

4. How Important is it to Replace Faulty Inverter Batteries?

Are you experiencing a voltage drop? Do you suspect your inverter battery is faulty? Is your backup battery discharging a lot faster? It is time to rethink replacing your home inverter battery.

Never use faulty batteries with working batteries. Instead, use the same and right size battery that will last longer and hold its charge more effectively. If your power consumption is high, you may need to consider a bigger battery size.

5. Why You Should Never Expose Your Inverter to Fire & Smoky Conditions 

Smoky conditions could damage your device. Smoke and fire could cause unsafe conditions.

6. Is it Important to Keep Your Batteries Clean and Dust-Free?

Keep your inverter clean. Dust your device daily. Always disconnect your inverter’s back-up battery when cleaning your device.

7. How to Charge Your Inverter’s Battery

Whether you have Lead-Acid batteries or lithium ion batteries, the way you charge your battery can affect its longevity. Many batteries last longer if they are charged fully after every discharge. A full charge can take longer than is convenient, but it is worthwhile in the long run. It can help your battery handle more discharges in its lifetime and prevent unnecessary damage.
