I live offgrid too, disconnected from grid and have been offgrid for months now with no intention of going back to grid.

macodollar:

macodollar:

anochuks08:

macodollar:

Okay.
1. 3KVA APC UpS/Inverter: 30,000
2. 4 Units of used 100ah battery: 15k each (back then)
3. 8 units of used100w mono solar panels (got them 25k from a friend)
4. 48v 30A PWM solar charge controller: 15k (I imported)
5. DC breakers 2 units (1000 each)
6. Cables n Cable locks (around 10k)
7. Battery Rack: 8k

I will advise if you decide to tow my path, to replace the used batteries with new batteries. I was lucky to get used batteries in good condition, you may not be.

I turn on my system everyday from 9am and I will pump water, load my fridge, plug all pluggables (laptops, home theater, fans etc) All will run freely from 8am till 3.30pm to 4.00pm. Sometimes, fridge goes off around 2.30pm. Then I turn off my system only to turn on again by 7.00pm and run till next morning (this time around I turn on only what is necessary, no fridge, no laptops, no pumping of water. Just TV, Phones, fans n lighting points.) That is how I have been Living for many months now.

I have this battery that comes with a charger and distributor that I use on my laptop. The charger got fried but the battery is okay.

Model: LiFePo4 - 480WH/12VDC
Capacity: 480WH
Voltage: 9~14.6VDC
Charger: 5A 14.6V CC-CV Mode

I can't find the battery charger to buy, how do I use solar panel to charge the battery? What type of solar panel can I use? Any chance of using the battery energy on socket/cross(that long wire with charger ports) to charge my phone and laptop?

oneshowguy:
hi Macodollar
The battery cost 86k

macodollar:


don't u think its high for an unknown brand

oneshowguy:
Hi, Macodollar

to know more about the brand you can make a google search on Kung Long batteries, i believe you will get to know alot about it.

Established in 1990,Its the largest battery manufacturer in Taiwan with its production in Vietnam. In 2002 , it became the only SLA battery manufacturer listed in the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

In 2003 Kung Long Enterprise USA was set Up in California, make a search on amazon.com and you will be amazed on how many pages will popup with the Long batteries.

its been in the Nigeria market for more than 10 years ,its UPS battery(5ah,7ah,9ah,18ah) comes with the APC by Schneider and Emerson Electric UPS, its considered one of the best batteries for UPS. The Long UPS batteries are so efficient that in nigeria , the ones removed from the APC UPS still have a second hand value, some engineers told me they prefer them to some of the new Chinese batteries.

So i really don't think its an unknown brand.

Oga are u saying a 2.4 kva unit cannot power a fridge? then wat is it good for? by d way, do u do solar?

darocha1:



Firstly, I want to tell you and everyone Interested that Inverter is not actually a total replacement to Ac power supply. 2.4kva can power Some fridge unit but it will tell on your 2units of battery with in a short period of time.
A good alternative is to integrate a SOLAR system into the existing unit.
