@ george'D
PLEASE I JUST INVESTED IN DIS INVERTER BUSINESS.KINDLY ADVISE ME ON HOW TO MONITOR D BATTERY CHARGING COS I DONT WANT 2 DAMAGE IT.AM USING A 1000VA INVERTER WITH CHARGER.IT HAS HIGH-MEDIUM-LOW CHARGING CONFIGURATION.AM USING 2NOS FIAMM AGM 160AH BATERIES FOR TELECOM ITALIAN PRODUCT.IT TENDS TO GET HOT WHEN PUT ON HIGH CHARGE AND D INVERTER HAS NO COOLING FAN.OLD MODEL I GUESS.MY MAIL ADDRESS IS ikiriye@gmail.com thanks

From my experience, warm/hot batts= Death of your batts=loss of your money.
Quickly do away with that inverter, just my 50cent.

life707,
good advice again if only ikriye is listening.

btw, i'm still waiting for info on those 1000ah solchen batteries you talked about
sometime ago.

George_D,

Only one set of the 1000AH Solchen batt(NEW) is available now & the price(very expensive) hasn't gone down bcoz AGM batt price has refused to drop.
will send you mail.

life707,
thanks, i've seen the mail. i'll keep my fingers crossed and hope they
drop pretty soon.

@life707 & georgeD
thanks for your advice,i have thrown away the inverter for a mopower inverter.hope mopower inverters are good pure sine wave type.
comment
thanks

ikriye,
mopower is a good brand just like sukam.

you have made a good choice. congrats!

all,
i carried out series of stress test on my mppt charge controller yesterday.

512kwh and still counting.

1320kw instantenous power.

899ah still counting.

23a still blinking on float charge!

pix as follows:

more pix!

and even more!

@ georgeD
thanks man for ur comment.ur 0807 line u gave me is not going true wetin happen

cheers!

@george_D
ok will call u by sunday cheers

How can i convert ups to inverter? Anyone with idea?

fx-seven,
remove the internal battery of the ups and install a bigger external battery then connect the output to your electronics. there, you have an inverter (or something similar).

The problem is how to charge the battery when it runs out. The ups cannot charge such batteries

yes, it can be done in either of two ways. as the ups charging system is not designed to charge such size of battery then:

1) an external charger can be added to the set up or
2) solar panels can be used to do the charging.

or better still a combination of both-if money is not an object.

I can build a charger to charge such batteries but my problem is over charging them. I don't know how to regulate the charge. This will require a special circuit.

i intend installing a 480ah battery bank but my inverter 900va mopower, i doubt mite not charge the bank.i also intend buying a smart 3 phase battery charger of 30/40amps.can it charge my bank without giving me problem.

ameboperoo,
a battery charger without regulation is an accident waiting to happen. Besides it will
kill your batteries in no time.

better to get a reliable better charger or take time to improve on your circuit design.


ikiriye,
your mopower 900va is unlikely to be able to charge that proposed 480ah battery bank
of yours. and unfortunately, that 30/40amps battery charger may not cut it either.

you will need an inverter designed to charge such size of battery - if you really want to
enjoy your installation.

@george_D
may be i have to look for cash and buy sukam 2.5kva i learnt dat can work on 4 200ah bank plz confirm.

ikiriye,
you are right. sukam 2.5kva is designed to work with 48v meaning you
can connect four (4) 12volts batteries (preferably 200ah types).

@George_D
what can this forum do without your type.thanks man

ikiriye,
your welcome!

[size=15pt]forget nepa or phcn use this product
[/size]

bigfat,
its so nice of you to barge in here with your product.

by the way what size of battery do you use with this 300w inverter

and how long does it take to fully charge on a good day?

Our 1.5kv inveter just got burnt. Can someone just recommend a good one that can utilise the 2nos 200Ah batteries? Price range will be appreciated.

@George_D

Good day Sir, I am now here in Nigeria. I wanted to ask where i could get those Zenith Deep Cycle Battery and what are their price range. cos importing battery from would be so costly.
I tried calling your number but didn't go. Maybe you could holla me on info@168tek.com
Hoping to hear from you,

hello ameboperoo,
you can upgrade to cyberpower inverters. a 3.5kva model of cyberpower will use two 12v 200ah
deep cycle batteries and will serve you better.

check out their website here: http://buyright.biz/productdetails.php?categoryid=c134&subcategoryid=&productid=p1137

the contact details are on the website too.

Thanks so much sir, hope you included your number there,

@all
apart from  zenith batteries i personally recommend FIAMM umtb batteries for they are powerful and design life is 12years and above.it is a universal mobile telecom batteries from italy.real power.

Thank you Oga George.
