It has do with the quality of materials used in the manufacturing of the slim batteries, most of the conventional sized batteries are made in china and thus have a very short lifespan of about 24months. The slim counterpart have life span of between 5yrs and 15yrs, reason why they are much more expensive. The country of manufacture also matters, the slim batteries come from EU, USA, Germany etc. Please note that there are exceptions to this, some conventional sized batteries last about 5yrs even though they come from china.

Many thanks

Can the pressing iron be used on a 12v 1kva inverter?

Prdo:
Please is the 1.5kva the highest kva one can get from a UPS?. Is there any difference in terms of load bearing and durability between an APC converted inverter and the inverter itself. I am thinking of buying an inverter and I have gone through a substantial part of your thread, but don't seem to grasp these points.

feflo:


If well managed, it will power the stated load for at least 6hrs. Thanks

I can bliv I read all the tread in one day, you ar indeed a blessing to this generation, I wish I had seen this thread earlier, I made very costly mistake that damaged my 200ah battery rita slim, I bought a used inverter from someone when the new one I bought blew up due to overloading, while I was trying to look for how to repair. I saw it very cheap and jumped at it, only for it to damage my battery which is now very expensive.

Please is there anyway the battery can be salvaged. It doesn't charge more than 3 minutes and when load a single 16w bulb the inverter starts to make.

Note I have fixed the inverter that blew up at their service centre.

Engr feflo,
Weld one bro, a great job you are doing here, I will soon contact you for my 1.5kva ups, meanwhile the man I installed the other smart charger for is enjoying it.
Thanks for the good work.

feflo:


Thanks for your compliments, really so sorry for your loss and hope you have learnt one or two things from it. I'll be glad if you can share the mistake that led to damaging your batteries here so that we all can learn from it. I personally don't know any technology that can be employed to salvage dead batteries. I'll love that you call me so that we can together look for solution to the problem at the most minimal cost.

Many Thanks

feflo:
Couple it back and it's ready for use/delivery.

I can't tell the exact mistake I made, what happened was that I saw the inverter with a guy that sells power tools like drilling machine, grinders and the rest, he only happens to have the inverter in his shop and I asked him if it works and he said it is working fine, we could not even test it that day as there was no battery in his shop since that is not what he deals on. I was desperate for that inverter because the one at home was bad, he gave me his word that I can return it if it doesn't work, I connected it to my battery of less than 6 months brand new slim Ritar 200ah and there was light all night till 6am the next morning, then I put it on blving that it must have charged very well only for it to go off in 20min. I couldn't do anything about I left till I came back from work and I was told that there was light for considerable hours so I bliv it must be charged like the new one does only for it to do same.
I called the guy he asked me to bring it on getting there I tot he will refund my money, collected it and told me tp come back some days after that he would have fixed it, I he went back on the said day he gave back to me and was requesting that I give more money and I refused collected the inverter and left. During that time I had located the service centre and fixed my new inverter that went bad that's when I noticed the battery had gone bad. I took the inverter from the guy straight to the office and connect it to the battery in the office in less than 30mins it ran down a battery dat lasts hours, that went I knew I had use my money to buy wahala. The inverter actually damaged 2 batteries, one at home another at office, the run time for the at office was seriously reduced to like 45mins after the incident. That is when I new the that the inverter was the culprit. I just dump it somewhere. I will post the picture later for you to see. The most painful part was that I had a blue gate ups at home that I could have converted in the meam time. So when I stumbled on this thread I felt like crying because the cost of the battery now is so painful. With the way things are in the era of CHANGE. So please what was my mistake...

casig:

Please how does one determine whether a UPS you want to convert to an inverter is 12vdc or 24vdc?

electronic:
1. 2.5KVA inverter
2. 4pcs. 12V 200AH fairly new deep cycle batteries
3. Rack for two batteries
4. AC breaker with fuse box
5. Knife Change Over switch
6. 30A External battery charger to complement the in built charger
7. Other accessories.

Mr femi pls how much would this setup cost now...thank you

feflo:


I don't think you made any mistake, the problem is caused by the inverter.

olabakefish:



So please what is the way forward am so confused now that things are tight, I was able to get things without stress, now I dare not cos of finance. It's just so painful, my friend that got his before mine is still enjoying it.
