low battery.

So I finally bought another smart charger and changed the Ups, now enjoying the setup.
1. I initially bought a Fake Bluegate UPS that didn't last.then I got a mercury that overheated in two weeks. You will know a fake Bluegate easily because the original UPS has BLUEGATE written at the sides with holes. Also, it beeps continuously instead of the 15 times OP said.

2. My battery setup is one 200aH, two 18aH battery and a car battery (I know I know, had a spare so decided to use it)

3. It is important to remove the batteries inside of the UPS for my kind of setup; it gets very hot. I removed the covering of the UPS to allow it to cool faster.

4. My total load is one 32 inch TV, 5 28watt energy saving bulbs, plethora of charging gadgets and a rechargeable standing fan. Most people don't know that a Gotv charger can be used on these fans. It wouldn't charge the batteries but the fan will work.

5. With the setup above, it lasts 6hrs. Without the TV, it last 24hrs.

6. Using an infra red thermometer, I found out certain components can very hot with temperatures of up to 60°C close to those transistors. This usually starts to occur 2hrs 30mins after I turn it on.

7. I bought a battery powered fan, cut out the wires and attached USB cable to it. I then connected to a USB charger and attached to the UPS with the blades pointed close to the circuitry. This reduces the temperature to 36°C.

That's nice, what happened to the other smart charger?

It doesn't charge, always shows a green light. Complained about it earlier. Will repair it later

to the bolder post above....
There is no fake bluegate ups, if it overheats ,its because its overloaded, bluegate ups comes in different models just like cars and lcd tv....there's actually one that beeps for 13 and 17 times and then goes into silent mode , have u seen the brand new latest blue gate ups ? Urs overheat doesn't mean its fake, I bought a brand new mini amplifier that overheated and burn out the sound ic , I have changed the sound ic 3time before I neatly installed a small cooling fan in it ,u won't even know that there's a fan that cools the transformer and sound ic in it, till today its working flawlessly
If u have a stabilizer u will notice that there's a cooling fan in it,even inverters to have cooling fans in them,our smart chargers have cooling fan,block that hole on ur smart charger from where it ventilate and the smart charger will overheat and burn out , even computer cpu has cooling fan installed near the transformer ,most transformers has cooling fan near them, I will teach u guys how to install cooling fan to ups that overheats,
Out of all nairalanders I help install their mini inverter ,only 2 had the overheating problem, I have installed fan in them and they don't have any problem

This is the cooling fan i'm talking about, it has to be a 12v fan, even if it has 4 wires ,all u need is the black and red wire, in oshodi u can get this size for 200naira but in other market its 500naira, these fan has different sizes and voltage, don't buy the small one for ur ups, there's one that will actually fit in ur ups and the u can cover it, nobody will know that there's a fan inside, if u can't install it , give it to an electrician, they won't charge u more than 200 or 500 naira, these cooling fans has two sides,
Air comes out from one side but air doesn't come out from the other, the side that air comes out from should face the transformer

there's a big 12v capacitor in ur ups ,its the biggest capacitor in ur ups, it has two legs, one leg of it is connected to the black wire that is connected to the battery(-) ,trace the capacitor legs connected to u ps and find out where they lead to, like I said one leg leads to ur battery (-) which is the black wire and that's where u will solder the black wire from the fan to, the the red wire from the fan is soldered to the other capacitor leg, if u connect it the other way round , then that fan is damaged for good, after u hv connected ur fan switch on ur ups and find out which side of the fan the air actually come out from, face that side to ur ups transformer and glue the fan in the ups so that it doesn't fall, now cover ur ups and screw the bolts,
below is how a capacitor looks like , but in the ups , it the biggest 12v capacitor that its connected to

do they have 220v cooling fan? i want to use it when constructing my generator quiet box. Since i am always on generator, i am already pissing off my neighbours...

Yes I think they have, opposite that guy that sells inverter batteries at army arena oshodi, if u can't find the 220v cooling fan there then look out for those who sells refrigerators , I don't know if the fan they use to cool refrigerator compressors is 220v

tanx bro....i should be able to do it myself......u actually mean the air of d fan should be blowing directly to the transformer shebi?.

Answer...


(1). They are not fake ,probably they are getting old or weak or sometimes overloading a ups could cause the transformer to overheat,
Point of correction: only old model bluegate and maxtron ups that beeps continuously , the latest model beeps for some seconds and stops beeping, so my guy they are not fake, they only improved

(2). I take God name beg u, do not connect together that car battery with the 200ah deepcycle battery

(3). To make ur work neater , install a fan in the ups like I have explained before

(4). Buy low watts energy savings bulb, if u can't find 5watts, look for 7,9 or 11 watts . Ur bulbs are 28watts x 5 bulbs=140watts , try and reduce the load to make ur battery last longer.

(5). Reduce the brightness, contrast, backlight of ur tv , they consume a lot , ur battery should last longer than that

tnx bro...i want to go get d fan now sumtin came to my mind, will d fan be glued by the side of d transformer or front? if it were to be d side definitely there won't be space do mount the fan and screw the cover of the ups.........don't mind me.i do ask questions when i don't get it.

When u open the ups ,the fan should be in front , the fan should face the transformer, after connecting the fan to the capacitor, put it ON to know where the fan breeze is coming out from , buy gum for gluing shoes and rob on the fan, rub the gum again on the ups , let the fan sit on top of the gum on the ups and hold for a while for the gum to dry, make sure the fan is facing the transformer, test it by outing it on the ups before u cover it,
Don't buy small cooling fan or fan bigger than the ups, u can take ur ups there and get a matching fan, the fan should sit comfortably in front of the ups panel

when I see nigerians thinking outside the box it makes me joyful.brother you have been blessed with a gift to live a bigger life and create a system that will write yourfamily name in gold..Please Try as much as possible to comercialize your product and improve on it...am so happy for you bro

pls am intrested in these mini inverter set up how can i get your contact

the ups trips off after 20 min .I checked the battery it reads 12.3 volts what could be the issue here?

Have u resolved the problem?

Been awhile op
Hows it been?
Are d fairly used batteries now available?

tnx
@ceejay80 for the idea, i just finished installing d fan, d fan runs like am using normal inverter with d humming of d fan.......d fan dey blow like.............

U are welcome, make sure u cover back the ups , its that capacitor that increases the spin speed of the fan, if u connect that 12v fan to a 12v battery, the spin speed will be low

@ceejay
Thanks for this sensitization. I got the tv with adapter @ 6k ,
solar panels 100 watts 13k,
charge controller 4k,
100ah battery (mercury servicable) 15k,
ups 2k. I rejected the one with double battery.
NEPA HAS REMOVED ALL THE LIGHT IN OUR TOWN THEY SAID WE ARE OWNING #33MILLION. So thats the latest i will assemble it today and feed you back.

Hello guy, how effective is your solar panel? What is your experience using it. Does is fully charge the batteries?

[size=24pt]PLS NEVER USE CAR BATTERIES INDOORS[/size]

@ceejay80 well i didn't notice any difference,there was a capacitor in ma ups dat reads 28v when i start it up... i uses 12v. setup though. i was afraid it could destroy the fan...i found a cap dat reads exact battery volt, so i connect the fan through it........ it spins v. fast. it draws 280mah on my meter.

ceejay, pls help me with the connection of the fan. My own single battery 650v bluegate ups has the biggest capacitor labelled 35v and the smallest capacitor reads 25v and not 12v like suggested. How do I go about it?

capacitors are always rated higher than the voltage passing through them.... d max volt around d 35v might be 20sumfin volt.... so no worries. what you want to make sure is to find a capacitor that will start d fan only when you press d start button on the ups..... if u connect it to any cap, d fan will b running 24/7 so far d ups terminals are connected to the battery.
