Solar Battery Prices at Game FAQs

Game batteries range from around R1,499 for a 100Ah deep cycle battery to R14,999 for a large portable power station. These suit small backup needs. Home solar lithium batteries (5kWh+) cost R18,000+ installed from specialist suppliers.

Game deep cycle and portable batteries are designed for small backup, not whole-home solar. For a home system you need a 48V lithium battery such as Pylontech or Hubble, installed by a qualified installer.

Prices vary by product: Makro often has the best geyser deals, Takealot offers competitive solar lights and accessories, Builders has good overall selection. Always compare across stores - prices can differ by 20-30% for the same product.

Online often has better prices and more selection. However, for heavy items like geysers, in-store pickup saves delivery fees. For installation, local stores may offer bundled installer referrals. Check return policies before buying.
