In stage 2 and above, lead acid batteries are being used outside of their design parameters. 

This is due to long and frequent power outages resulting in multiple battery cycles per day. 

The short periods between load shedding cycles is also insufficient to recharge the battery correctly. 

It is for this reason that no lead acid battery is warranted if the load shedding increases to stage 2 or above.
