The battery on this unit is only guaranteed for 6 months. It WILL not last a year. A replacement battery will cost you R7000 from the supplier (price as at 25/1/2024). Don't buy it - you will be disappointed. In fact, don't buy any RCT product.

firstly, I want to commend Builders Warehouse online purchase and their turn time was superb. In 3 days they delivered my purchase._x000D_

RCT Megapower 1KVA/1000W Inverter Trolley With 1 X 100AH Battery_x000D_
this product has exceeded my expectation, functionary is user friendly and very easy to setup. Battery was already fully charged on delivery.

Bought this unit at the beginning of Feb 2023: Have used it mainly as a back-up for load-shedding and also as a UPS: for when I cannot finish some work before the power goes off. Have tested with a full-on gaming PC with a 730W PSU, a laptop and study lamp on at the same time and with an hours use, it did not even drain the first bar on the battery display - So in my book that's good performance! Well worth the buy, especially at the current pricing. Thanx Builders, for keeping the prices aff...

Purchased 2 of these, 1 week apart. 1 gave up 1 week ago. The other this week. They have a max life span of 6 months. One was used regularly for TV and CCTV Cameras (100Watts max), One to run router and fish tank air pump (15 watts max). Batteries never dropped below 80 %. Same life span. On 50watts drawn it goes flat in 20 minutes. Drops from full bars to dead in 30 seconds after 20 min. Go lithium or go home. Stay away from this nonsense

This is a super terrible product! The manual is useless, you can’t see when it’s fully charged. I charge it for over 8hrs but whenever I plug it in it always says battery empty and switches off instantly. I’ve had it for 3 weeks but can’t really use it at all!

The battery on this thing only has a 6 month guarantee. it will last longer that that, but probably not by much. Mine lasted only 11 months. A replacement battery from the supplier will cost R7000 (as at 25/1/2024). Don't buy it - you will be disappointed. In fact, don't buy any of RCT's products.

Excellent service and follow-up. Inverter is working like a charm!

Builders should not stock Poor products in their Shops. First 6 months product work as per the Supplier specs (max 4 hours. With a TV and Media Box). After 7 months the Inverter fully charge only last an Hour if lucky. Product will only last till it's out of Guaranty, (Now I Have to wait 21 working days to see if the Supplier can repair it). Will not recommend buying it. *Not Builders Warehouse's Fault.

Initially, a little confusing to set up, as the instruction booklet is lacking, to say the least. Once up and running though, the RCT inverter trolley has been a great buy. Well recommended.

A great buy and a must for loadshedding. Really easy to setup. Basically plug in and forget about loadshedding. I run alarm system, router, WiFi extender, TV, light and my electric blanket and it barely uses any battery power. It does beep 3 times when it kicks in and there is a setting to stop it from beeping continuously during loadshedding. The instructions are basically useless but viewed a YouTube how to setup and programme the beeping. The fan running is like white noise for me now. You...
