Dangerous and/or items sold by macro

So guys here is the problem, every person in South Africa is threatened by "Load shedding" as a legal professional , I was forced to acquire either a generator or invertor, since we are living in a complex and the risk associated with generators that can create a disturbance to the complex and residence (whilst working form home), I went to Makro in Roodepoort and bought an inventor, same , that is silent and does not disturbed our neighbors.

My reasoning behind this fact relevant to the COVID 19 regulations mandating my actions to stay home.

All good and well, I contacted my electrician to install an work the necessary installation of the invertor and battery, the result was horrifying:

Electrician

My electrician, upon arrival at my residence, refused to work on and/or install the system, in fact, my elutriation immediately, and without delay, placed the battery outside of my residence and advised me that MAKRO sold me a battery only to be used in the commissioning of "trucks" (R 3000.00 later)

I need to express that the batteries used by Makro to sell the invertors is highly dangerous and SHOULD not be used indoors although they sell same in this fashion and not at all commissioned to be used in conjunction with an invertor. (Royal battery 2 pole, see box for details)

Is this not the truth? " see box for details" yes, however MAKRO placed a bar code over these details that will make it impossible for consumers to see these batteries details, (royal 2 pole ) same, that is a threat to life, once used in connection with an invertor.

People these batteries , royal described above, can and will cause death and/or serious injury due to gasses expelled from the battery an/or exsplotion, MAKRO never informed the people of these risks, whereas I invite people to contact me if you have the same purchases in order to advise. The staff of Makro, in my experience, is highly under trained and specifically refer to a photograph that I am willing to post in connection hereto. The background thereof relate to the staff that is talking to one another without assisting the client, therefore, it is no surprise that the wrong advise is given to customers, the same advice and highly expensive purchase (relating to the product described herein) that can be potential LETHAL to the consumer.

PS: We did take several videos and will be confronting MAKRO Roodepoort at 10:00 on the 23rd of January 2021.

I am warning the public and urge the public to return to Makro these goods in connection and relation to the above.

KINDLY NOTE: this post is not intended to return goods outside the parameters set by the content hereof

My electrition further showed me on the battry that the recomendations advised against home use and only recomend the battery for OUTSIDE use industrial.
