The battery is still on peak of its performance to date. It depends mine is always ON on bypass … if the powers goes I don’t have to do anything I have TV, decoder and lamps always connected there don’t get interrupted. But you can charge it fully and unplug and only plug when you need to use it
Hi there! Thanks for the informative video. I literally just bought one. Can this power an Xbox? If so, should I leave it on "Narrow" or switch to "Wide"?
20A and Narrow, this allows for faster charging between load sheddings. 10A and 20A is the rate at which the inverter charges the battery. Wide and Narrow is the wave length of the current the unit puts out. Some TV's may turn off when the unit switches over to battery, this can be prevented by switching to Wide.
Hi, i bought mine last year and was delivered this year only started using it February. I bought through the company I work for. It was working fine until recent it just stop charging. What must I do?
@@lindiwekanyile8663 please mail us on support@lalelaretail.co.za also please check the fuse you may have had a surge and blown a fuse. This is located below the power cord.
Honestly the sound of that fan is terrible. The only way is put the inverter on bypass which means turning it off that way that power will pass through but the catch when loadshedding hits you will have to manually go power it up
Most small home inverters like our do not like any devices with motors in them as these motors have a high initial draw which will put your inverter into fault. Larger 5KW and 10KW DV Board connected inverters will be able to handle fridges.
Hi, I bought mine in October this year, worked very well for one month, now it does not last 2 hours and then the battery is flat. We even unplugged everything for 10 hours so that it can fully charge, but after 2 hours the battery had no charge. Very cross and disappointed.
Yeah that does happen with the stock battery. Mine lasted for 2 months. So I bought 2 105Ah Deep cycle batteries and connected them in parallel, now it handle 4 hours loadshedding no problem
I havent had power since sunday the inverter worked and then died completely, before it die it gave a long beep for about a min, it did it twice. Now that I a trying to charge it and there is no display and not sure if it is charging.
Hi Robin, Thanks for your purchase. On the left is your load (attached device's) this may show 0 if your load is less than 105v. The right is the incoming volts from power source. Also on the left when connected to power the unit shows inline and when on battery it shows Battery mode. I hope this is what you were looking for. Alternatively you can also check out our video on our page. ruclips.net/video/wpZnIMa_1P4/видео.html
Seems like comments are all about the battery, not the actual inverter. Lalela now has Lithium Ion Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries that last MUCH longer!
Hi Pearl Yes the fan takes some getting used to. The fan runs during charge and discharge of the battery. A small sacrifice to make, but you have power when there is none. The fan can also be used as an indicator for full charge. Note that when the fan goes off after charging the battery is fully charged, but needs to equalize for about 2 hours after charge.
Hi, just to add on, you need to check the wattage of your appliances and add all of them, total should be less than the size of the inverter like to play safe at 20%, How long will depend on the total of your appliances, eg total wattage=300 so inverter will last approximately for 2hours
Yes it can. For how long I am not sure coz I don’t have such speakers nor do I know their specifics. You can just look at the inverter specs and check your speakers wattage/volts requirements
@@andrewmaniveld4139 do you want to connect an additional battery or replace the battery? If connecting an additional battery this may void your warranty if not correctly done.
I bought this 4 months ago. All was well, I was very happy with it, only for it to only give me 1 of power within 2 months. Since it was still under warranty, I returned it in December. They replaced the battery with a REFURBISHED one, which even with a full day charge still gave me 1 hour of power. So...what exactly did these guys fix? When I queried this issue a week ago I was told I need to BUY A NEW BATTERY. What was the point of me spending R7K of my hard earned money on a product that will fail after 2 months and then I'm expected to buy a new battery for a device that's still under warranty? I'm extremely disappointed. So I'd advice anyone thinking of wasting money on this inveter to rather spend it on something more reliable, and not on Lalela products.
@@DKDEFT I did take it up with them and they're the ones that replaced the battery with a refurbished one and are saying I should buy a new one. They're not being helpful at all.

Don't waste your money buying this inverter, it works fine for the first few months then it gets terrible. The supplier doesn't have aftersales support.
Omw what a waste of money. Works very well to start off 6 months down the line battery packs up no after sales support Lalela will tell you to buy a new battery and that's another R2,500 so R2,500 every 6 months work out the price of that unit
Just ordered mine, will be delivered in 2 days. Thank you for the helpful video.keep up the good work.

Hi there! Thanks for the informative video. I literally just bought one. Can this power an Xbox? If so, should I leave it on "Narrow" or switch to "Wide"?
But we prefer both switches to the right on 20A.
This allows for faster charging between load shedding.

What is the battery lifespan? Product guarantee/warranty?
12 month warranty on Inverter
Battery life - 180 cycles - (based on histroical load shredding should be 3 years ie: 60 days a year)
Hi Maana
We have a 12 month warranty on the inverter head and 6 months or 150 cycles on the battery whichever is first.
Very informative. Thank you DK 🙏
Thanks 🙏🏾
What do the different modes mean that are displayed on the lcd screen ? "Line mode" "backup mode"
Line mode means the power is passing through the Inverter where as backup mode is when the power is coming from the inverter
I’m so late for the video but it’s still relevant ✔️

Enertec. same brand as Energizer
