Both have pros and cons.
Both will perform great but desktop will perform better under certain high task.

Hybrids and stand alones are great technology and will perform well. Hybrid is like akara inside bread ( sandwich) while standalone is like akara(bean cake) separated from bread. Both will be chewed and swallowed and end up in the same belly.

So there is no change in technology btw hybrids and standalones.

Lol. You are living in the past! Technology is not about having many devices to perform single task!

Price will reflect in the product bro.
1. How do you tell if the inbuilt cc is not a glorified pwm?

2. 2 wires go to battery in hybrid.
4 wires go to battery in standalone. What now makes it complex?

1. Then the manufacturing company is risking their business. Make den continue cheesy

2. You are expert nah. You already know all these things. What about people who don't know jack about electricals? Ordinary wall socket or bulb holder socket they cannot replace. You will not be the only one to be using the system. If you are away from it from a while and something falls out of place, the other people using it will have no idea what is wrong, even if it is a simple stuff as breaker cutting power in event of overload, or item plugged is short circuited, they can't know how to turn it back on. So the less wires, the better... Not for you, but for others who know nothing about electricity

my suggestion remains that for most newbies, they should focus on non-Lithium based batteries. If they have the money, going for average to high end Wet cell batteries should be more than enough for them. Till at least they really get to such stage when they would require something much different. and before then, they swould have learnt a couple of things along the way

This is very bad advice.

so bad i don't know if you are being malicious.

You think a newbie that doesn't know much should buy expensive wet cell battery that they need to nurse, maintain charge, limit discharge, top off and balance monthly and thats better than buying Lithium packs that they can literally install and forget, discharge deeply and will have a longer life span.

Especially considering how the market is flooded with cfakes and rebadged batteries, and their lifespan outside of strict management

because they will have 'learnt something' along the way. learn something by throwing away 300k plus on batteries


which thing precisely are they learning? learning when they can avoid the pitfalls and hardships? in this 2023?

What kind of load is the 250W? AC or DC? If AC, would it tolerate MSW? You mentioned solar, is the 6hrs time during the day or at night.. or you just need it to work at least once a day for 6hrs

Re-introducing the 3000W EASun Pure Sine Wave inverter (12V/24V)

Price: 66,000

Customer review attached

Youtube link video shows the inverter powering an inductive electric cooker, pressing iron, microwave, washing machine, deep freezer, etc



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YgbL4Lw_Bw

Key Features:
- Peak power 3000w; Continuous 1500w
- Offgrid (no charging function. you need an external charger for your batteries). Recommendation avalable
- Consumes very low power (<5w) from your batteries to invert, so you will get more backup time from your batteries
- Protection against overload. It only trips off with an alarm sound and light when overloaded, but returns to normal working when you switch off and on again.
- Protection against surges from sparks, partial contacts and reverse polarity connections

All those you said and more, already are the duty of a common average charge controller be it PWM, or MPPT.

And yes, there are lots of fakes and lithium based batteries are not exempted.

And for rugged use, WET cell batteries still excels better. Every battery technology has got it's place.

Just like we have Magnetic tapes, Hard disks, SSDs, etc.

You're better of buying an expensive Dry or Wet cell batteries, than buying a CHEAP Lithium based battery. And you know what, an expensive Dry or Wet cell battery, is mostly CHEAPER than that CHEAP Lithium based battery.

Make we never talk of the inherent dangers of Lithium based batteries such as possibility of catching fire or exploding, yea that's why they come with BMS but what happens when you buy fake ?

And the suggestion ain't meant for just newbies, but to all those who don't have above basic knowledge on these things. You spending more doesn't mean you getting better things.
This suggestion equally goes to those who employ services of (cheap) installers.

Would have suggested going directly to their authorized dealers, but

Even buying electronics from LG branded showroom doesn't guarantee you're getting Authentic product.

I'm someone who have built battery banks, damaged a couple, tried inventing somethings along the way.
Right from childhood, I'm very technical with electrical things. So even new things ain't so new to me. Those I don't know, just looking at them, I could deduce a couple of things.

Quick question before we progress, can we see ur inverter system? Do you use lithium? If yes what chemistry? If also yes, for how long? Finally what's Ur technical competence level when it comes to building lithium battery banks from scratch?

How to reduce chances of buying FAKEs, focus more on unpopular Genuine brands e.g Luminous is a known and popular Good brand. Why not go for something else which is equally good or even much better, but not so POPULAR.
Those who do fakes, or repackage products, focus more on what MANY people are buying. That's one of the reasons why it's difficult buying FAKE Sony products.

From my personal observation, there are many fake products in the Nigeria market and it's very hard to find honest sellers.

From instance, Luminous tubular batteries (the major three types) are been advertised online within 150K - 230K. I called the company to inquire about their battery and cost, and the cheapest was 317K, the highest was I think 368K. Though they offered a reasonable discount.

They disassociated themselves from sellers selling below the prices I mentioned above saying they're rebranded or fake product.

This is not peculiar to Luminous alone. May we not invest our monies with the wrong people.

The 200k inverter has:

inbuilt chargers which can cost minimum of 25k.

There is probably built in mppt charge controller which can cost minimum of 50k.
There is a display screen and option of editable settings where u can change some settings to suit your needs especially lithium battery charging,output voltage,charging current etc.

The small sachet inverters like u call them serves its purpose when on tight budget.
