Load Shedding Proof Your Property
Eskom load shedding is a fact of life in South Africa. When your gate motor or garage door opener loses power, you're either locked in or locked out — neither is acceptable.
Elektro Door supplies and installs battery backup systems that automatically take over when mains power fails. Your gate and door continue to operate exactly as normal — no manual override required.
How It Works
A sealed lead-acid battery (or lithium option) is connected to your gate or garage motor. During normal operation it charges from mains power. When load shedding hits, it takes over seamlessly — your motor doesn't even know the power went off.
How Long Does It Last?
A standard 12V 7Ah battery gives 50–80 open/close cycles — typically 8–13 days of normal home use even with zero mains power. In practice, power always returns between load shedding slots.
