The electrolyte is basically what the manufacturer of the battery have mixed together and placed in the batteries ,it is where the chemical reaction occurs. The distilled water is what you the end user (flooded or tubular batteries) add once in a while to make sure your battery in shape.

You are not to add electrolyte to your tubular or flooded batteries but ordinary distilled water.

Am using felicity hybrid with luminous 220ah wet cell batteries.......it's editable. Though Maximum voltage is 58.4v with equalization function. It works well for the batteries and charges very fast. Carries my whole flat, My freezer runs on it 24/7. Funnily I cook with it everyday(use 1.8kw infrared fast burner)

olopan:
Yes I can it but [b]"never" Efficiently because you need like 600W for every 200Ah of battery and considering you want to use 4 batteries[/b]

600W x 4 = 2400W ideally
But in reality you might want to over size not more than 150% if using Tier one or 200% of charge controller if using tier 2.

All the above depends on your pocket, grid availability, and last aim of use etc.

Checked throught your recent post, if you have not bought that inverter I will recommend Growatt for you can handle over sizing too and sure will charge your battery with no stress.

[/i]some one want to give ipowerplus hybrid inverter but have already have 4 battery using presently with pure sine wave that is not hybrid.
is growatt hybrid?

In the manual max recommended is 600w. Although I've seen some connect up to a 1000w with no issues so far the max Voc [75v] and 25a current is not exceeded.

Namzy:

Good inverter been using mine for 2 yrs plus although I opted for a standalone mppt as the recommended 600w max mppt it came with is small.
Pros: low standby power usage mine is about 25 to 30w. Enough settings to satisfy your need like user low voltage disconnect, powering loads from battery or external mppt even when nepa is available and switching to nepa at certain voltage. About 25a [20 to 30] charging current better than most Indian inverters
Cons: it does not have equalization, fan noise at loads above 200w and a times enters float at about 86% charge a work around is to set your float voltage a lil higher. My parents 5kva ipowerplus is still going strong 5 years and counting and they are using the inbuilt mppt combined with an external Felicity mppt

IYGEAL:


Luminous 850VA is definitely hybrid as I own it too; although I don't use it no more. It has pwm cc

Penuelseun:
Yes, it will work, just not that efficiently as the inverter's inbuilt cc is pwm

NiyiOmoIyunade:
My gut feeling is that your Genus 875va inverter is grossly incapable of properly charging a flooded battery.

The inverter will top out at max 14.2v to 14.4v per 12v nominal whereas flooded batteries typically need 14.6v minimum and even 14.8v for a proper charge.

Confirm what absorb voltage your inverter is taking the batteries to then proceed to step 2 if above 14.6v


Get an hydrometer and measure the specific gravity of your electrolyte when battery is fully charged and perhaps even equalized. If below 1.28, it is possible the factory got the electrolyte mix wrong - I have seen this happen with Luminous flooded batteries and I had to send them back to be emptied and refilled with proper mix.

More likely your inverter simply cannot charge the battery properly. If this is true, incorporating an el-cheapo smart charger like Souer to charge in parallel is your best bet.

SOMEBODY HELP!!!

Is there anyone here who has used or install Eastman Tubular Batteries?
I bought one 2 weeks ago and this is my experience.

After being fully charged, battery drains from 12.9v to 12.2 in just 10 minutes with less than 200watts load on it.
Then from 12.2, it now drains normally till 11.0 which might last for 5+ hours with same load before inverter will alarm for low battery but I always switch it off when it's 11.6v

After lodging the complain to the seller, i was requested to bring the battery to their service centre, I did and It was delayed for 7 days leaving me stranded 'cos i sold the previous battery off as scrap same day i bought this. I got the battery back 3pm this afternoon and upon installing, same thing happened again.

I called their chief engineer to complain and here is his response.

"Check the backup time how many hours is going, Forget please battery voltage, Check the battery backup time"

which I responded with "Really? Since when has voltage become irrelevant in batteries?, because it will be foolish to keep discharging a battery to 10.5v as told by this so called chief engineer"

So before I take this further, I need to hear from others if they have experienced a thing as this.
mind you i'm using a Genus 875va inverter and the inverter is working fine, even the previous battery i replaced didn't jump voltage till it died.
Thank you.

@abbeymighty what you need is just a conversion kit to convert your existing generator to run on gas or petro

I'm just surprised an election thread like this is still on Page 5.

Disinterest of the majority, I daresay.

That of Edo had gotten past page 90 by this time.

It pays to run your GENERATOR on gas, very cost effective and safe
