I agree with Pierre ROSSOUW !!!

It has a 2 speed fan and the slow speed stays on even after 24 hours of continuous Eskom power with a load of 200watts.

It would really be super if the fan could shut down after it recharged. It slows down but never stops.

Even after 2 days with no load at all.

Excellent function. Automatic changeover (like a UPS ) when mains power fails and returns a la load-shedding.

Only negative is a noisy fan that never shuts down (or up). Will have to build a sound-moderating cabinet.

Admin: The fans should shut down once the batteries are fully charged, and the unit cools down. With higher levels of Eskom blackouts that we have, the unit never fully gets to cool down, before the power goes out again :-(
