Return of merchandise (RMA) and Warranty

If you are looking for more details, kindly visit our website.

We want you to be happy with the purchase you have made from us. If you are not completely satisfied, you may return the product to us and we will either refund, credit, repair/replace it, subject to the below terms and conditions. 

You can return purchases for a refund (excl shipping). Please notify us within 7 days and ensure item is ready maximum 10 days after delivery date.

Please ensure to log your return request within 7 days of receipt of your item. Please ensure to select the correct reason for return:

- Changed my mind / Item exchange

- Faulty on arrival

- Incorrect item received

All items are covered by a 12 month warranty (unless otherwise stated) which will be honoured directly by GeeWiz. All products will either be replaced/repaired/refunded depending on stock availability. Products will require evaluation by GeeWiz before a warranty claim can be accepted.

Should the item being returned for assessment be found to be in good working order, unfortunately, there will be a collection fee that will apply.

The collection fees are as follows:

- For returns on items that were sent with free shipping: R198

- For returns that had a surcharge, the same surcharge will apply for collection.

Please log your return on your account, under the returns manager.

We do not reimburse your fee to ship to us, but we will pay for return shipping if the item is subject to replacement. If the item you wish to return was ordered incorrectly / is no longer required / you have changed your mind, there is a collection fee that will be charged (please refer to the above) and this will be deducted from the refund amount once the supplier has credited us. Please note GeeWiz will only cover return shipping of a faulty unit within 6 months of purchase, after which, a shipping fee (starting from R198) will be applicable to you for the return of the unit.

Any disputes relating to ordered items being short/incorrectly shipped will only be entertained if reported to GeeWiz within 3 days of delivery/collection.

Refunds are subject to inspection of item(s) - in some cases, items will need to be sent to supplier for evaluation and testing. This can take up to 15 working days. Once a refund has been approved, this may take 3 - 5 business days to be processed.

ALL returns are subject to up to a 30% restocking fee if item is no longer in BRAND NEW condition or if item seal/packaging has been broken.

Please re-package safely and include all original product packaging.  

All software products are unfortunately not eligible for credit or refund once purchased.

After the 6-month period, you will no longer be eligible and won't be able to receive a refund. We can however replace or repair depending on the outcome after our team of professionals has inspected the product.

Should a warranty sticker not be present on an item, the warranty is immediately null and void.

Batteries are covered under warranty, but please note that GEL, AGM and LEAD ACID have limited cycle runs. These are typically around 200 cycles and may run out before the end of the warranty. Once the cycles have been depleted, it means the battery has reached the end of life and will no longer be a warranty claim.

GeeWiz reserves the right to refuse a refund if the item is damaged from misuse, items are missing, or if the product is altered in any way. 

GeeWiz or its affiliates are not responsible for damage or loss of any kind that may occur as a result of using or misusing any product purchased from us.

The warranty will no longer be valid, and GeeWiz will not be responsible for damage or injury of any kind resulting from:

How long will a 200 amp hour AGM battery last?

How long will a 200 amp hour AGM battery last? with input of a solar panel of 200 watts for 10 hours a day. The battery is used by a fridge with a draw of 4 amps an hour, 3 x led lights using 1 amp and hour, a radio used for 4 hours a day at 1.5amps an hour, also charging 2 x standard iPhone's overnight.

To determine how long a 200Ah AGM battery will last with the given inputs and loads, we need to calculate the total energy input and energy consumption.

Energy input from the solar panel: A 200W solar panel operating for 10 hours a day generates 200W x 10h = Wh (watt-hours) of energy.

Energy consumption by the appliances:

  1. Fridge: 4A x 12V = 48W (since power = current x voltage, and assuming a 12V system)

  2. LED lights: 3 x 1A x 12V = 36W

  3. Radio: 1.5A x 12V = 18W (used for 4 hours a day)

  4. Charging 2 iPhones: Let's assume each iPhone uses a 5W charger (5V, 1A). So, the total power consumption would be 5W + 5W = 10W. Since they're charged overnight, we'll consider this a part of the night-time energy consumption.

Total continuous power consumption (fridge and LED lights): 48W + 36W = 84W

Total energy consumption in 24 hours for continuous loads (fridge and LED lights): 84W x 24h = Wh

Energy consumption for the radio: 18W x 4h = 72Wh

Total energy consumption in 24 hours (excluding iPhones): Wh + 72Wh = Wh

Energy consumption for charging 2 iPhones overnight: 10W x (let's assume 3h charging time) = 30Wh

Total energy consumption in 24 hours (including iPhones): Wh + 30Wh = Wh

The solar input of Wh covers most of the energy consumption, but not all. The difference between consumption and input is Wh - Wh = 118Wh. This energy will have to come from the battery.

To calculate the battery discharge in amp-hours, divide the energy in watt-hours by the system voltage (12V):

Battery discharge = 118Wh / 12V = 9.83Ah

Since an AGM battery should not be discharged below 50% to prolong its lifespan, the usable capacity of the 200Ah AGM battery is 100Ah. Given the calculated battery discharge of 9.83Ah, the battery should be able to support this usage pattern for several days without any issues , as long as there's consistent solar input during the day.

However, it's essential to note that these calculations are based on ideal conditions and do not account for factors such as solar panel efficiency, battery age, or variations in sunlight due to weather or location. It's also important to consider that battery capacity can decrease over time, and the efficiency of charging and discharging can be affected by temperature and other factors.

To ensure optimal performance and battery health, it's a good idea to regularly monitor your battery's state of charge and adjust your usage or system components as needed. You might also consider having a backup charging source, such as a generator, to help maintain your battery's charge during periods of reduced solar input or increased energy consumption.
