Brought back a Hammerhead Karoo 2 from Singapore. Really loving this little guy. Such a breath of fresh air compared to the incumbents.

I've been looking at having a friend bring one over from the UK when he comes on holiday.

This system powers the tv and wifi.  Working from home I connect my pc with dual screen to this as well.

 

Even during a 2 and a half hour loadshed it uses less than 50% of the battery.

 

As it is a gel battery with a 15A charger it is back to 90% before the second loadshed of the day.

 

The key parameters for me was that I want a pure sine wave for the electronics, AND fast charging so that multiple loadsheds in one day does not hurt the battery.  

 

It works so well that my wife only knows of loadshedding when she want to make coffee .... and then she has the otpion of using the kettle on the gas stove. :thumbup:

Can you resend, or post, a link please Chris?

Those remind me of my soccer boots that my dad ground the studs off and nailed cleats to (the ones with a slot in them), when I first started riding with toe clips.

I paired this with a gel battery as a UPS

PS . I bought it from Current Automation

 

Some benefits of this approach:

- Fast charging of the gel battery allows for the system to be ready for the next loadshed.

 

- It provides more than the 50% depth of discharge of a lead acid battery.
