ajabani4allah:leaving your charger permanently plugged, will not damage your inverter. however due to Nigerian epileptic erratic power supply, u might need to implement a voltage surge protector, as am not sure your inverter has surge protection capabilities. using normal ac ceiling fan on your modified sine wave souer inverter is not advisable. the ceiling fan might burn out in few weeks/months. try get a dc fan. |

ajabani4allah: 75ah battery is likely an automobile battery, if so expect premium tears within 6 months. Na so i go buy trailer battery 150ah over 12yrs ago..the first 2 to 4 months was bliss....... 4 Likes |

Guys, good day. I need some info. I read online that running an inverter aircon 24/7 at 25°c is more efficient and consumes less energy in the long term than running it on turbo mode for a few hours and switching to gen mode. I do not have the battery capacity to run this test 24/7, can you guys help out and run a 1hp inverter AC for 24/48hrs to compare kWh consumed @25°c vs gen/turbo modes? Anyone with substation capacity PV/battery bank should kindly assist with this small test. @NiyiOmoIyunade @ojeysky @Adrusa @olopan @GeorgeD1 @babaegun @dapsyra @oshomo12 @McTrinity @Valto @dam5reey @Saipro Muchos gracias!! |

lexi28: Very funny! Someone should should kill his or battery to proof a moot point. In my humble opinion, I don't know how much is there to gain by using "inverter ac". This is a matter of physics. Unless, the inverter ac makers have found ways of producing or destroying energy, temperature for temperature, the two types of AC will end up consuming similar energy. Starting and stopping consumes more energy overall than allowing the thing to run uninterrupted. Motors need more energy to start than to keep running. 3 Likes |

lexi28: brother, this test you're suggesting is totally unnecessary. i have a couple genpals or what lg calls 'inverter' ac and i can tell you it does consume less power and is more efficient over time compared to traditional acs. your energy savings should not be limited to a narrow 24/48hrs range else you will miss the whole essence. rather think more of a wider band like perhaps 3, 6 or 12 months. and for this you will really need an energy meter plugged in permanently to that equipment. 3 Likes |

lexi28: My brother in that case you don't need to worry much about that, you can't eat your cake and still have it; If you need your room to be cool very fast then turbo does that and it means more use of power. So while running the normal genmode will save more power, there is no way you will achieve cooler room faster other than in turbo mode. 1 Like |

I tend to agree with this position to a large degree. I had the LG inverter ACs (GenCool) I believe which I ultimately phased out all 3 units in favor of Panasonic 1hp non inverter ACs. It is correct that the inverter ACs progressively use less power after several hours run, I used to wake up to like 300w-400w consumption from a 1hp inverter AC however like Oga Adrusa said, the laws of physics have not changed - the AC is achieving good power savings at the expense of cooling - an AC compressor running at 400w is definitely doing less cooling work than a similar compressor at 800w. Simply the inverter ACs do not cool as well as the normal ACs. As for setting target at 25°C - this a good practice, your AC would never bring the ambient down from 32°C to to 18°C in the tropics without special measures. An AC can achieve 26°C temps in a room and thereafter work less cycles and use less power. adrusa: |

lexi28:1.5hp GenCool 2 running at 25°C after about an hour in my sitting room drops to about 300W. Amazing because the original GenCool has a minimum of around 600W operating power. In real life terms, I can run two 1.5hp GenCool 2 all night and wake to more than 50% battery left. One of them no longer goes off. If energy generation/storage isn't an issue, leaving them on guarantees a room maintained permanently cool. Turbo mode consumes (wastes) absurd amounts of power. I no longer use it. I do not recommend it either unless you're at immediate risk of a heatstroke. 4 Likes 1 Share |

How durable are some of these ATS's below? Hope they won't be damaged so soon by the flunctuating current supply we have in this country.

how healthy it is for inverter battery to stay on charging 24/7 even when there is no load at all on the inverter? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 3:17pm On Oct 05, 2021 |
ajabani4allah, there's absolutely nothing wrong with an inverter charging a battery bank 24/7 without load. provided the charging parameters are set correctly, it can theoretically charge at infinum. depending on the battery type and state of charge/depletion, it would most certainly start with bulk charging before tapering off into float/maintenance charge when battery is full. it will remain in this state until when duty calls and inverter kicks in to draw power for critical loads. 2 Likes |
