Get a 12v sachet inverter and a separate charger, it is easier to manage and has low entry cost.

Just incase their might be need to upgrade, it's easier to sell off the inverter (You can work on a swap deal if you buy from people on this thread), battery(obviously can be sold as scrap) and even charger(charger might be what may take a longer time anyway).

If you decide to use a 24v setup, you will be forced to use just 2 units of those batteries or you but an extra one and add to the one not in use

Thank you so much. I really appreciate-I’ll work on this.

Obnoxious2001:
The old ones will pull down the new one to its owns internal resistance (the capacity of the previously acquired 3 might have reduced)

Since the inverter is 48v(it will require 4 batteries in series) where as, the 3 batteries in series will only give you 36v.

If the inverter even manage to work, it will not output the complete AC voltage.

Good afternoon boss, thank you for your swift response yesterday. Let me give you a little back story. Those three used batteries were given to me and that gesture stimulated my interest in installing an inverter. Appliances to power are plasma TV, dstv decoder, 3 ceiling fans, deep freezer and five 5 watts bulbs(although all these appliances will not be used at the same time). The plasma and the freezer(140w) are the reason why I'm considering a 4kva 48v inverter. But with your comment about adding a new battery(for series connection) which will negatively impact its performance because the other batteries are used, should I downgrade the inverter to 2.5kva 24v so that the 3 used batteries can be run in parallel and series connections to make 24v? Would this setup still power the above appliances? Which inverter model would you suggest? Note that the system will be charged with the grid and sometimes, generator(3.5kva)-no panels.

If it's over estimating input PV power, it's likely a sensor error tolerance fault or a microcontroller based fault (it's usually a bug in the programme)

When you say battery is not charging, do you mean it's not pushing amps?

Hi chief, please I need your advice. Can a 4kva 48v inverter work with three 220ah 12v tubular batteries? If four batteries are compulsory for the setup as suggested by a friend, can I just buy a new 220ah 12v tubular battery and add it to the three batteries? Note that the three other batteries are fairly used for two years but still has a decent power backup. I hope combining old and new batteries will not speedily wear out the new one.

Hello engineers, how much would it cost me to replace an iPhone XS Max screen with original one?

No bro it's not the compressor..most AC technicians will tell u it is...in my case, they changed the thermostat and it works perfectly now.

Thermostat? Was your car overheating as well? Cos I thought thermostat only malfunctions when it refuses to open up leading to overheating which can affect AC efficiency. Anyway, please, can I have your tech's contact and location? Thanks for your reply.

Omo... Suddenly my AC no dey cool for afternoon as usual

In the morning and night it's cool Wen idle...But Wen on the move by these hours it's the usual mortuary standard cooling.

But afternoon it's almost useless.. What could be the cause abeg

Evening bro, please, have you been able to fix your AC issue? I am currently having same issue. I need to be sure the culprit is the compressor. My AC tech said compressor is 40k. Car is 2005 corolla.

Good evening bro, please, do you have another one? I need one.

Pretty detailed but missing one key piece of information... What kind of car do you drive??

Oh sorry, 2007 corolla.

Please, has anyone used the service of Owolabi5 here. I just got a tokumbo car that I want to register.

Also, what's the current rate for registering car in Lagos

He's straightforward and cool-headed. We have been dealing for three years.

Anyone take measurements with the gauges? If so, what did they say they read?

Morning madam. I am currently having similar issue with skolex. AC guy suspected a weak compressor but suggested I flush the condenser first. Condenser flushed with no result. From my research, nobody memtioned a weak compressor as the culprit. Out of the numerous causes I read, I am thinking of going the easiest way first(low refrigerant) by topping up the refrigerant. An experienced youtube mechanic said after a prolonged AC use, it's normal for the system to loose some refrigerant via the rubber seal at the compressor shaft so that the shaft can be lubricated otherwise, the seal will burn out. Hence my decision to add a little refrigerant first and see what happens.
Additional details;
Pix 1- Pressure measurement in the system while operating was about 31psi. Same youtube mechanic suggested pressure to be between 30-40psi. Another DIY youtube enthusiast suggested 45-55psi. I don't know whether to push it to 35psi or 50psi.

pix 2. Temperature from air vent in a hot sunny afternoon when car was stationary.

pix 3. Temperature from air vent in the evening when weather was a bit cool and car also stationery.
Note: AC cools when car is moving even in hot weather.

pix 4. Condenser looks rough on the surface. The rough portion might be slightly blocked inside. Should I consider replacing it later even if adding refrigerant solves the problem?
Thank you.

Xneg:
They steal parts from matrix just same as corolla. Their brain box are interchangeable.

Absolutely! They are basically same car. It is just that there are more corollas in circulation than matrixes hence, more market for corolla parts which may encourage vandals to target it more.

Tough day!


Just lost my mum about an hour ago

I sympathize with you bro. Stay strong!

So for how long did she run her engine with the AC on? Does this even male sense? Dis celebrities sef...always seeking attention.

Integrity my foot! The North are religious fanatics and highly tribalistic!

If na Naija dis one happen now, dem must show graphic images.

Very shameful!

lol. Those guys must have a degree in "minding your business"

Meanwhile, check out my 2009 Toyota Corolla XRS. Very lovely ride. You'll love it!

People need to understand that this boy is neither a politician nor a member of PDP. He only associated with PDP because of his uncle based on the fact that he felt he could garner votes for him using his popularity as a musician and it almost paid off. On the other hand, let's assume that he's a die-hard PDP member, does that mean he shouldn't praise other politicians or parties when they deserve it? Ain't we supporting politics without bitternesss and violence again? Abeg, let the poor boy rest!

Sold!

.Still trying to figure out if that's actually a public transport because some people can trend for Africa.

Pretty mike wins this. His choice of cars and colour is way cooler. Please, don't quote me with "who asked you?".

@prudyice... funny girl.

Omo! see fresh nyansh.

You claimed you're tired of your body but yet, you are always proud to show it off to the world. Who u dey decieve?

Break fluid leaked from drivers side front tyre, top it and notice break is not sharp nd almost at ground before car total halt, but when I off d car, break will seem normal. Please FAM come to my aid, enroute lekki from mainland, still on d island. Wot come b d reason for this?

The brake fluid supply hose to the calliper may have burst lesding to a leak. Another culprit could be that the rubber at the tip of the piston inside the calliper is torn also leading to a leak. Make sure you take the car to your mechanic immediately for safety. Don't worry, it is a simple fix.

Samsung Galaxy S5 is the best, this phone is expensive, the new one is sold for about 120k while the UK used is sold for about 60k, fairly used is sold for about 45k
It is the best because it can do the job without any failure, no GPS error, no hanging, very rugged, if u use it for uber or taxify mobile app, it will give you ur accurate fare
But has a problem of short bar3 live, the bar3 get drained easily so just support the phone with a power bank.

I am not sure if you can get it new again except refurbished ones. And if there are still new ones out there, they can't be sold for 120k-that's outrageous. The London use versions are currently sold for 30k.
