Please house I have a mecury inverter It's showing the fault code just this morning. I checked the manual it says "output shorted" could be the fault. It charges the battery but will not give out power if there is no light.

How long have you been using the inverter? Have you made any recent changes to the wiring/ configuration?
If your inverter was previously working OK and no changes have been made to the wiring/ configuration I would suggest trying the following:

1. Switch off the Inverter
2. Remove the Inverter’s plug from the power outlet
3. Turn off all Load ( Lights , TV etc)
4. Turn on the Inverter (without any load)
5. If step 4 does not generate any errors, then turn on your lights, TV etc. one by one
6. If still no errors plug the Inverter back into the power outlet

It's barely 2 months no one has touched the wires let me try what you have said.

The error message means that the Inverter is delivering less than the rated load current. I would advice that you contact the person who installed the Inverter for you, if they can not help you resolve the problem, then you can contact the Mercury Service Center, they will help you fix the problem or they will replace your Inverter (if the Inverter is the issue) no questions asked. All Mercury Inverters come with one year warranty.

It is important to note that some retailers are still selling old models of Mercury 1.2 and 2.4 Inverters. I would advise that you only buy the new models, because they offer superior build quality, performance and are covered by One Year Warranty

New Model looks like this:

The funny thing is that the price is almost the same even on Jumia and konga

Anyone know the specs for the mercury tall tubular 220amh batteries? I need to know equailization voltage, float voltage and boost voltage? thanks.

The big price gap seems to only occur between the old and the new models, the old Mercury 2.4 for example can be had for N19,990. A friend of mine recently bought one of these old Mercury 2.4 Inverters, he had issues with it, so he returned it and got his money back. He was lucky that he got it online, because if he had acquired it on the High Street, well! he would have been on his own. This is the advantage of buying on Jumia and konga, most merchants offer a return policy, when the item is delivered you can open the box test it and if you are not 100% happy within a certain period of time you can pack it back in the box and return it. My friend used his refund to buy the new model Mercury 2.4 and he is very happy with it.
Re: Inverter Users : Lets Have Your Experience by spinola: 7:06am On Aug 24, 2015
There is a big difference in quality between the old and the new Mercury Inverters, just like there is a big difference between Windows 8 and Windows 10.

I am experiencing serious problems with the inverter. The inverter is deriorating everyday of use.

On my display review i mentioned 3 of 4 bars of load level flashing when its not supposed to. Other problems have shown up one after the other.
1. 2-3 load level bars flashing
2. 1st bar of the load level is constant now even with no load
3. Battery mode display icon has disappeared even when inverter is on baterry mode
4. A/C mode display icon has disappeared even when the inverter is in A/C mode
5. When inverter is turned on while main supply is available it switches to battery mode and refuse to reenter A/C mode until i turn it off. It also stops charging as it is on battery mode even when there is PHCN/GEN supply.


Hey bro, i saw this inverter on Jumia and wanted to find out some information from you.
1.How do you charge the battery for the inverter? or does the inverter charge itself?
2.Since its modified sine wave would you advice i use it in powering a cctv DVR as thats my main intention
3.Whats your overall assessment of the inverter so far is this particular one a good investment??

1. It has an inbuilt charger which charges battery automatically once power is restored.
2. Modified sine wave works but less efficiently only with inductive loads e.g Fan, florescent lights. CCTV DVR i am sure is not an inductive appliance so it will work well. It will be advisable to run the inverter in UPS mode.
3. It is a good investment considering how cheap it was. If i could afford, i would go higher to a pure sine wave which ranges from 30k upwards. 10k makes alot of difference.

Aiit

100ah should do well more than 3hrs. Check the power rating but i dont expect its power to be more than 100w.
