1KW. Epever Inverter GEL Battery NOT good for business

Not Satisfied with the kind of Customer Service I received from AC Direct Employees. I bought an 1KW epever Inverter almost a year ago. Not knowing that GEL battery Inverter causes issues. Already 3 months after the Unit started giving issues. AC Direct collect ed to get fixed....but 6 months after...another type of issues occurred. Astonished..but battery fully charged but when loads shedding start..the battery can ONLy last 30 minutes or 45 minutes then goes totally off. I urge/advise people NOT to order any of these epever GEL Inverters....GEL Inverter are totally waste of money and time. I had to request for a refund as no GEL Inverter battery is good for stage3, 4 or 6 .I have bought myself a brand New Lithium Ion LifeP04 Inverter that works now 100%.

 Good day,
Here is the INV Ref Number:SO021770:
Thank you for your email...Please proceed with your investigations and my aim is that AC Direct Customer Service improves.

Yes, Indeed my rating is factually correct and 100%.and appropriate, and the inconveniences caused to my job for not having internet.
In fact, AC Direct, Customer Service Department is poor and ***********.

I have attached some of the email correspondence & screengrab of conversation between myself  & ++++ [ who 's their Team Lead in Cape Town]

My worries are such as from 07 Feb 2024 till yesterday, I have been sending emails to AC Direct to try get a replacement as it was concluded that the Inverter was indeed faulty from the manufacturing which ..one of their Agent +++++ acknowledged on our long phone Conversations.

At 1st when the Inverter was returned, I hope that they will replace/fix it.
But considering that I am myself a Engineer by Profession, I notice that GEL Battery for those epever were NOT good to sustain the whip of stage 6 load shedding which one of their own colleagues [+++++] acknowledged.

It was so surprising that in a normal company when an employee is being moved to another department, she/he shall hand over any current matters to the stand In colleagues... but this did not happen.

Strange once again, the Device was already shipped to Johannesburg, yet when I called them to query no one couldn't even locate where the machine was...it took the entire day for them to locate it.

AC Direct has finally refunded my Account and I have purchased another Brand New 1 KW Kool Energy Inverter from another supplier. "All I wanted by posting this review public was that their Customer Service Personal improves"
