An emergency power backup system for your house or office will consist of an inverter and a battery (or 2 or more batteries).
The inverter converts the direct current from a battery to an alternating voltage so that it can be used to power lights, a TV, DSTV box, computer, appliances, etc.
TL:DR – The good news is that the popular Mecer 1KW SOL-I-BB-M1L and 2KW SOL-I-BB-M2L emergency backup power trolley systems are back in stock!
Backup batteries
Batteries are either regular batteries or deep cycle batteries. Regular batteries – such as car batteries – produce a shorter burst of electricity, for instance, to start your car. Deep cycle batteries produce ongoing, lower yet consistent, levels of power to run things like lights, TV, computer, etc.
In other words, your emergency backup power system needs deep cycle batteries.
Batteries are available as lead acid batteries, AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat), gel batteries or lithium-ion batteries. The Mecer systems we are offering here have lithium-ion batteries. In short, lithium-ion batteries charge quicker than others and last 3 to 4 times longer.
Inverters
Inverters are available as true sine wave, modified sine wave or square wave inverters. “Most of electrical devices require pure sine wave for better operation.” This quote is taken from the excellent article on the types of inverters and how they work by Electrical Technology.
At this time of writing, the price of the Mecer 1KW SOL-I-BB-M1L is R14 599, or R1 334 per month on mobicred.

Both the Mecer 1KW SOL-I-BB-M1L and 2KW SOL-I-BB-M2L systems offer the following features:
- Pure sine wave output
- 2000 cycles lifePO4 lithium battery
- Mains supply mode, Battery mode
- 2 x 5V DC USB 2.0 ports
- 2 x 12V DC output ports
- MPPT solar charge controller
- Over charge protection as well as over discharge protection
- Intelligent exhaust fan
- Trolley wheels
The difference is that the SOL-I-BB-M1L is a 1KW (1000W) inverter with a 50Ah lithium battery and the SOL-I-BB-M2L is a 2KW (2000W) inverter with a 100Ah lithium battery.
They are the same size but because of its bigger battery, the 2KW SOL-I-BB-M2L is heavier.
