I went to these places today and they all said the Optima 4000es is not available.

Can a 2.5kva power pumping machine?

Depends on the power rating of the pump.

I don't know the power rating but elepaq ec5800cx powers it effortlessly. I searched the generator and some sources say it's 3.5kva while others say it's 2.5kva

I bought this Elepaq generator with a starting capacity of 4.5kva and running capacity of 4kva just this December. The problem is it was powering my Hisense 1.5hp AC for a week but since I bought a 5kva stabilizer because NEPA voltage is poor in my area, the generator no longer powers the AC. As soon as the AC picks, the circuit breaker of the generator trips off. I'm wondering if it's because of the Stabilizer or of I should call someone to service the generator.

remove the stab and try again... Also Elepaq rating is scam.... It can even be 2.5kva tho

You don't use a stabilizer with a generator. Generator is regulated already

Good day everyone, can elepaq 4.5 kva power my 315l freezer and 560l letters for frozen foods

A generator with 3600watts capacity should be able to carry the load. However, a lot of posters have complained about the deceptive power ratings of Elepaq generators.

Gptech:

Ok then, which ever brand you get, fuel consumption should be roughly thesame.

I got the firman Gen instead 6kva and last night it refused to turn on, it wasn't even kicking and even when I try to use the manual rope, that one too isn't working. A new gen I just bought.

And the key is turned to the 'on' position? If you did everything right and it's not coming up, simple return it. If you want to try something, you can try another spark plug. Many times, these sellers replace original spark plugs with cheaper ones.

Good afternoon bosses. Please, which Firman series is best between Eco, FPG and RD? I read the RD series make the least noise.

Also, is it advisable to buy from sumecplaza(.)com?

Good afternoon. I just got a itec 2.5kva generator, and I am only using my 170w fridge and my 150w laptop on it, with power saving bulbs.

I would like to find out from experts here, if it's okay to reduce the speed of the generator, because I think this will reduce the noise and also the fuel consumption. Is this advisable, make I no go spoil the gen o.. Thanks.

Good day here...

Pls has anyone here used Scanfrost Generator before and it is a good gen?

A friend who happens to be their marketer is trying to convince me to buy Scanfrost SFG3000ER2 (2.5/3.1 rating)

It is not advisable to reduce your generator speed since it powers a fridge alongside other gadgets.

I notice my yellow tec 3.75kva generator now makes noise, like it's really loud now, unlike when I got it a year ago. I change the oil every 2 weeks and the plug when due. What could be wrong?

Noise could be due to wear and tear from usage. Check for any loose damper bolts and tighten. If you notice shortage of oil, then plan ringing of your pistons.

@Gptech @aieromon @earthrealm @nwaozzugwor @RepairZone kindly help out. I want to get a maxi gen but I'm looking for what will consume really small amount of fuel in long run. We all know that Fuel is becoming the new gold in 9ja. The Gen is for 2 TV, 1 150L freezer fans and Led bulbs. Occasionally 1.5 Inverter AC.

I have in mind,
Maxi E25 thats 7.0hp, Max Power2800w KVA Rating is 3.1

And

Maxi E28 that is 7hp and Max Power 3200w. KVA Rating is 3.5

Which would serve best and how many hours should I get for 1 Liter from each type. I'm really concerned with fuel economy

Why not save up, get an inverter + lithium battery, you could add solar panels if you get less than 6hrs of NEPA/grid daily..

When i used gens, my HT 2.8kva consumed 1 liter per hour, running light loads of about 800w

I plan on doing that. But the money isn't yet and I'm expecting a child this month. I have no option

how much will it cost currently

Servicing the dead battery can get you 6 months of use if you're lucky.

Buy a Mercury battery and have rest of mind.

earthrealm:


Likely dead. Those batteries usually die within 1yr.
Buy a replacement battery of similar capacity and replace.

If you want to double check if your gen is outputting charging voltage. Use a voltmeter to measure the voltage at the terminals.

If you have some diy skills, you can attempt reviving the battery, by adding small distilled water and using a pulse repair battery charger.
Perhaps it may serve you another 3 to 9monthe b4 dying.

What kills the battery is not running the gen frequently, as lead acid battery like being charged full all the time

I went against your advice and decided to have the battery refilled by a battery charger since it was brand new & they said it was still okay.

But the problem now is that I noticed that it leaks liquid while running even though it does not leak when the battery is removed & turned upside down. 🙁 I have disconnected it to prevent risk of explosion or corrosion.


How long will the recommended Mercury battery last?

I gave you 2 options, 1 of which is attempting to revive the battery by adding distilled water, not acid.the electrician likely added acid.

Most gen batteries last 1yr. What kills them is over and undercharging...

Hmmm
So how can the battery be restored now? Do I take to a more competent battery charger to restore or just forget about it?

Learnt diy bro, watch youtube videos
all these kazeems you are taking the battery to dont understand the physics behind what they are doing.

The choice is yours,
Chk cost of new battery vs cost these guys are charging u to attempt to revive the batt

Good evening house.

Run only white bulbs and a fan on 2.5kva generator, but fuel consumption is too much.

Do I get a small Tiger generator and discard or is there a way to reduce the fuel consumption to match Tiger's?

Your total load is quite small. Get a smaller generator to save on fuel consumption. Your current setup excess power is being dissipated in the form of more noise and heat.

Thank you.

Still having the issue of the fluctuating sound on the firman eco3990es even after several caburator change the issue still persist, the sounds just keep fluctuating without having an effect on the current
