Thanks for your timely response, really I'm looking forward to a urgent and small set up for lighting up a self contain apartment, charging of phones and laptop for now and that brings me to the next aspect of inverter, what range of inverter is recommended? Do I need it, recently I saw a charge controller that had 2 power saving bulbs attached to it, will this take the place of an inverter?

My charger has packed up after 1yr & 6 months of active service . I, however, got another for 5k. Surprisingly, it hasn't served 2 weeks yet and already showing signs of inefficiency. PHCN only supplies power for about 3 hours daily in my location, which was more than enough for my former 10A charger to get my 65AH Fullriver battery fully charged or at least, reasonably charged. The new inverter, despite being 16Amps has been performing woefully as it can't get the battery charged. I observed that after 3-4hr charge time, battery lasts barely 15minutes before the inverter starts blaring all alarms of low battery. I am sure the fault is not from the battery.

Seeing that a common problem being reported on this thread is the lack of durability of these chargers. Can we all begin to brainstorm on how to create (locally make) chargers or troubleshoot them?


how did u go about this? did u eventually get another battery?

60W solar panel is quite little, but here is what I'll recommend: A little calculation to get the answer you seek.

(Some people believe you can get 7hours sunlight in Nigeria, but to be on the safe side in calculating, I'll rather use a 5hour benchmark)


Your panel can deliver = 60watt X 5hours average sunlight hours , i.e 300watthours

However, the panels are not 100% efficient and will lose some energy just as your PWM Solar charge controller is not 100% efficient. In most cases, they both deliver just about 60% of the panel capacity.

So you can, in reality, only have 60% of 300watthours = 180watthours

So, get a battery with 180watthours.

To get the value of this battery, divide by 12volts, i.e180watthours/12volts = 15Ah

In essence, you can get a 12volts 15Ah battery.

There are no 12volts 15Ah batteries, but you can get 12volts 7.5Ah batteries (the type usually seen in UPS)

So get 2 of them and connect them in series to give you 12volts 15Ah

You solar panel can confidently charge this batteries to 100% daily. I think this can power your laptops rated 65watt for about 3 hours. So, it's really a very small power bank that can't really do much for you. They will do better with lighting up you one-room self contain with say, 3 of 5watt bulbs and a 12watt fan for about 6hours daily.

It should be parallel connection to double the capacity. Series connection will double the voltage. Great explanation overall.

Its very easy, there are different ways that u can entertain urself when u are at home.

All you need is Gotv and an LCD with a very low wattage or a PC monitor that has AV input ,a 650va UPS, a 12v 40ah fullriver valve regulated battery and a smart charger.

I bought my 40ah battery brand new at oshodi for 6k its equivalent to deep cycle batteries and I bought my 20amp smart battery charger at idioro mushin for 7k, with this u can stay connected to ur favorite programs on TV or watch movies on ur LCD via external hdd, if u already have an LCD TV, just check the watts ,if its above 100, then u need to get a 15inch monitor that has AV input II bought mine 5k at computer village, the smart charger charges the battery,the ups stands as the power, my 15inch monitor is 34watts while the blu ray player is just 16watts.

So......

When there is no electricity ,my 40ah battery can power my 15inch LCD and Gotv or blu ray player for full 9hrs.

Note: It only powers my Gotv, bluray and 15inch LCD, imagine if I have 2 of that battery nko? That means I will never miss my favorite programs.

See pic below


Pls i need ur number i want to get more info ℹ about this we can even meet up infact.

As soon as as I saw your list, even before reading your question, I suspected you'll have problems with charging.

1. What is the rating/capacity of your battery? you did not provide this information. From my guess it isn't less than 40AH. As a rule, always make sure the wattage of your solar panel is the right one for your battery else it will take longer to charge. A fast calculation for me will be to multiply the battery power by 2.5: i.e if you are using battery power of 100AH make sure your solar power is not less than 250watt. If you are using 40AH, make sure your solar is 100watt. A more detailed calculation is:

If you check the back of your panel, you'll notice that for every 20watt of solar panel, you can get 1Amp of current. for example,
20 watt solar panel = 1Amp current
40watt solar panel = 2 Amp current
60watt solar panel = 3 Amp current
80watt solar panel = 4 Amp current
100watt solar panel = 5 Amp current etc.

In Nigeria, we are blessed with up to 7hour sunlight daily. This means that your 80watt solar panel can deliver 4Amp X 7hours = 28AmpHours also written as 28AH. Now lets suppose you use a battery rated 28AH, this will take you one single day to get it fully charged since your solar panel can deliver this in one day. Again if your battery is rated 56AH, this will take you 2 days etc.

So, in your case, to get your battery fully charged in one day, simply INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SOLAR PANELS.

I'm sure your question now is: How many more solar panels do I need to buy?

Answer= Divide your battery AH rating by 28AH, approximate it to the nearest whole number and minus 1 (since you already have 1)

e.g If you use 100AH, calculate thus: 100AH/28AH = 3.57, i.e approximate = 4solar panels -1= 3 additional solar panels (each rated 80watt)

Go to Alaba market and buy 3 more 80watt solar panels grin
Sit back and enjoy daily constant uninterrupted power supply.

my ups is making an odd sound (like; wooooooooooooo....) and i dont understand why. it started last night. but if i add more load, say i put on my 65w fan, d sound will reduce a bit.
please gurusin d house, any one with an idea of what d problem may be?

cc: ceejay



i opened the ups and noticed there's another red and black wire inside which means its suppose to use 2 batteries, hope this is not the cause . and last night the wires started getting very very hot that i noticed smoke from the battery head.
i took it to an electrician this morning and we tested it with normal ups battery and the stuff seems to be working fine, the output voltage was ok according to him.......please how do i go about this i need ideas.

Change it. Get an inverter. There are small 150watt - 300watt inverters that can do the job.

BTS is Ok. If you can afford it, go for it; particularly if you have sensitive gadgets you want to protect, modified sine wave inverters are not particularly friendly with such sensitive electrical appliances.

Thanks so much for the reply. I'll order it then, the 24v 1.5kva capacity but I'm just concerned about it's quality, reliability and longetivity since it is a chinese inverter. Pls have you used it to confirm that it is good?
