About 3 weeks ago, the entire Kasi of Galeshewe in Kimberley was thrown into darkness for well over 24 hours. The municipality informed us the cause thereof was vandalism & theft by izinyoka at one of our main electricity substation.
Fortunately for us, we had backup in the form of the Flexopower Lithium Portable Power Station with its Namib 150W foldable solar panels. We survived that blackout as we could atleast pull some of the 220v appliances in the house. For the smaller 12v appliances like cell phones we used our DC-to-DC system in Musafir to keep them charged and going.
We use this very solution from Flexopower South Africa to generate the much needed electricity when we are overlanding off-grid in the African Bushveld with Musafir. We dont have a permanently mounted inverter in our vehicle, we rather opted for this option as it gives one flexibility to move it around to where one needs to use it, like in this instance we used it in our house.
We are currently using the 555 and wish to have the larger 1200 or even the 3000. If only wishes were horses😜.
