Got this WiFi battery monitor to monitor my lifepo4 battery online from anywhere.
Got from aliexpress, yet to be delivered.

Will test it and let you guys know how it works.

I think only Bluetooth shunts have been available for years now before this.

shadeshadow:
I downloaded the app yesterday, won 350k coupon in that their spin something, tried to pay and my bank supposedly rejected the payment (When it has never rejected any before) When I tried to pay for the items normally they said N30k minimum price lol.

I sharply uninstalled it. Most of my online purchases are small items. Temu is not it.

The 350k is only after you bought some items. I bought items of 30k to activate the 350k.
They still won't give you 350k. It's like 20k discount for orders of 80k+, 50k discount for orders of 140k+, 100k discount for orders 300k+ etc..

fashrola:
Just pray the send the right item for you lol…..

Bro... I pray so oh. Spent total of 200k.

But are you speaking from experience? Did they scam you or anyone you know?

Comments from buyers all said they got their orders.

Well, they were less expensive today in everything I saw, converting from naira to aliexpress dollar

AIDS day is public holiday for South Africa..

fashrola:
Temu where their things Dey cost X2 pass AliExpress…..

Oh boy... Today I just bought an obd2 scanner I know quite well is $200 and in Nigeria sold for 400-500k, in temu for it this morning for 158k on black Friday discount.

This is my first ever purchase. And they charged me in naira. I used my Gtb naira card and paid and it went. I'm surprised.

Waiting to see if or how they'll send to Nigeria and Abuja my place. They said it'll take 7-14 days. I bought 6 other items, all this morning from Temu. My first ever use of that app.

Seems we will dump aliexpress for temu oh.

You can do anything with any other country but please never with France.
We don't need them and they can't offer us anything.
Those people are devils who suck on Africans.

Avoid them pls

Option 2 would probably lead to Speedaf. Option one would end up in Nipost,while option 3, 4 and 5 are "a no-go area"( this is because you could face customs charges)!

NB:
Always select "AliExpress Standard shipping" if available.

Wow.. This is very educating. Thanks a lot man.

What if they only have free shipping? Where does their free shipping lead to?

Olamak1:
USD card preferably or OPay naira card if you have one!

Home delivery to your Abuja address if the item is shipped by Speedaf logistics. Otherwise, you'd have to visit your nearby post office for a pick up.

In each of the scenarios above, you'd be contacted via phone calls or sms in respect of the item for delivery or a pick up.

This is what I see.
Which of them is the speedaf pls?
Or it's not all products that offer that option?
Most I see is aliexpress standard shipping or free shipping but I don't know how they'll send the free shipping

Xanderone:
How do I get the item delivered to my address if you pay for it? Does it mean I'll provide for you the login details of my AE account for you to pay?

Hi, first time Nigerian aliexpress user.

Do they really charge in naira and I can use my naira bank card? Or is it in dollars and I need dollar card?

I put my Abuja address. Will they call me and bring it to my home? Or how do they deliver in Nigeria.

Pls assist me anyone

Please stop saying this, I have cells I charged to 3.6V for almost a month now, it still ast 3.5V+ and it not producing any heat.

You are definitely not using the battery. Left unused LFP will stay at 3.6v for months if you charge it to that. Lithium doesn't leak voltage like lead batteries.

But if you have it on load (without charging), there's no way it'll stay in 3.6v for a long time. It'll quickly go to it's sitting voltage below 3.4v. That's just how they work.

Xanderone:
So I got this Tuya DC meter to test out it's functions. I'd been angry with dem Chinese for not thinking out a way to make a DC meter that works on Tuya platform despite the numerous smart add-ons that they have on that platform.
. I present to you, the Tuya Smart DC meter.

Second and fourth pictures are screenshots of some of the functions as it is on my mobile.

Even though with felicity hybrid I use, I can have some online monitoring capacity. But this Tuya meter appears to pack some punches.

I need one please.

Where do you connect it?
In the inverter or just the battery negative/positive terminals?

Your LFP doesnt mind being charged to full. Li-ion may have that issue though cos I recall my Samsung phone has a battery protect setting to limit charging to 85%. With that, the charging will never reach 100% full, only stops at 85%. I know Li-ion is used in cell phones.

The man in that video has been debunked as false.
If you knew the charging curve of LFP you won't say this. When charging from 3.39v sef to 3.65 is sharp upward line that could take only 3 minutes to attain. When discharging, LFP takes same quick time to move from 3.65 to 3.37 then begins an almost straight but long curve to 2.6 or below.
Keeping charge at 3.65v you are not only producing heat but putting it at the high threshold and risking overcharging errors. It's good to keep it far from 3.65v to be save from charger errors, and for LFP, be it 3.4v or 3.65v, it won't take 5 minutes to return it's sitting voltage of 3.31-3.37

Hello all,

I have an extra solar assistant device for sale if interested. I am currently using the raspberry pi 5 version.

It has never been used/activated.

You can also visit their website to know if your device is compatible with it.

I got it for 180usd and that is not inclusive of shipping or tax. However, if you have a reasonable offer, just quote this message and I will respond to whomever gives a satisfactory bid.

How does this work biko?

I'm in Nigeria getting this speed with starlink.
Never got this high before with residential.

400+mbps 🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️

Mummy see oh!

Location: rural up North!

It's 2024 and people still use potato to record videos. Which kain video quality be this na?

By the way, shey she was miss Taraba. Will she go see her Taraba people and get good welcome?

She's a winner!

How do you guys clean your solar panels pls?

I live in far up northern Nigeria and we've dust storms on a regular. So panels are often covered in thick dust, though they still work.

I usually clean montly with water and omo and soft mop.

I'm hearing now that omo is too strong for panels and can erode whatever protective film abi anti reflective film on the panel. Too much Oyibo for me.

What do you guys use to clean your panels or what's the best safe way?

Is omo really bad? Can I substitute with dish washing fluid or car wash fluid or what?

I am a big fan of Wizkid, he's better than the other dude.


As far as today's music is concerned in naija, Wizkid is the best among his generation

This is how I rank them in Nigeria

1. Wizkid
2. Burna Boy
3. Davido
4. Rema

However, Burna Boy is more recognized outside Nigeria than the rest

Only hype by fans is carrying that song. The two songs, piece of heart and Kese by wizkid, also the Awuke by Davido are all not good songs.
They are songs fans will hype for 2 weeks and after that no one is singing them anywhere on the streets coz they wack.

And that's just a kitten. A very cute one.

My love for cats ehn. Love them more than anything.

Cats are intelligent. They can open your window from outside and enter your house after they've observed you for long how you open the window from outside.

I used to have 4 cats plus 2 other intruders that knew how to open my window.

He's lucky that's a kitten. Try and scare or hit that stick on an adult cat in a closed room like yours, you'll be calling more names while being driven to ICU

Emma1Oj:
Can a 14yrs old girl child get pregnant? Abi what such of age reduction is dis!!

My daughter (adopted) gave birth at 13. She was pregnant at 12.
Girls can get pregnant at even 9 years once they've experienced menstruation. There are records of even lower ages below 9.

mikeayus:
Thanks for this tips. please I want to know the best voltage charge setting for my 12v 200A Lead Acid battery

Bulk at 14.4v
Float at 13.6v

See where and what sane countries are thinking. Whereas us we still thinking of how to repair Abuja kaduna road and Lagos-ibadan road without risks of bandits.

Anyway...
For those who say they've never seen N5 or N10 in long time, I've it here in bundles oh in the North. Be like they pushed all of them to north coz they still use it in market without knowing these notes have no market value again.

Aunty drop phone, open bress and give children

Are you talking of this N5 and N10?

I've them in bundles.

Have bundles of N20 and N50 too.

In deep north people still spend it but that's because we are ignorant here of what's happening in larger Nigeria. We've no idea these notes are now totally useless. So we keep spending them in bulk.

Its seems all the 5s to 50s are all in the North 😭😭😭

If churches celebrate birthday, then Catholic Church would be celebrating 2000yrs anniversary being the first ever church.

obitobe:
what make of panels are this and what wattage

Jinko straight from fouani, so I'm sure it's original. 555w
Many fake jinkos in the market

kristien4:
whats your overnight consumption? Seems u dont use Air Conditioner on it?

Highest 4-5kwh total overnight. That's why a 4kw panel setup charges it back up in 2 hours before 10am.

I don't use AC, but I get like 3 fans for my room 😭😭

dollarnaira:
Your type need to be reported to those responsible for grid collapse. Reason you don't need to pity your set up. Plug things, plug "unplugables". Enjoy your investment bro. Nice one.

I live in a forest neighbouring sambisa forest 🤣🤣🤣. We don't have nepa here and will never have nepa for the next 50 yrs.
Grid collapse stories is breeze passing my ears.

Sapiosexuality:
I don't really want to spoil this but I had to let this off my chest once and for all. When I was ready for my installation, his lack of response to my 'stupid questions', even after reading it, made me go elsewhere.

He's human. Maybe he had malaria or typhoid that day na. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dam5reey1:
You are degrading your batteries charging low..

At least na me Daft...

Is will prowse daft too?

The man is ignorant with his opinion.
When charging LFP, it can take you hours to charge from 2.9v to 3.38v. But from 3.38v to 3.65v can take you even just 8-10 minutes.

When you are discharging from 3.65v with load, it can take you just 5 mins to go down to 3.37v or lower which is the settling volt. That's just how LFP works.

I knew he's ignorant when he said you are losing 40% of charge like say one will get extra hours from charging to 100% over 90%. With load it won't take you 5 mins to get back to 3.37 or lower.

A good advice he gave is that ONCE IN A WHILE, you charge full to activate balancing at top voltage. But active balancers of today, you can set them to start active balancing at 3.4v or higher based on your taste.

Note also he mentioned temperature. These people live in places of 25ºc highest, and you live in 31-45ºc (my place is 41c). You'll just be stressing your cells and killing it over time.

Any way, we all should do as we like

obitobe:
Does that panel generation charge your battery fully every day. Even in bad weather do it get to 100% or what range does it get to.

The panels are even too much. Every day before 10:30am battery is fully charged from what was used at night. Even yesterday when there was no strong sun but cloud, it was giving 2.4kwh at 9am

twosquare:
WAWU...isn't that an overkill? Especially the 4400w solar panels...

Anyway, how much did you buy the 14kwh lithium battery, and which brand?

I need guidance on how to go about it...and if 1 million can get me a good setup for that.

Yes, it's an overkill. Don't want to worry about expansion in next 10yrs.

Setup, I spent around 6m. The battery alone was near 3m.
So 1m can't my setup. I'll think 2m can you a decent setup if you are doing from scratch

bassdow:
My own setUp no dey get opportunity dey idle at all except I OFF am which is almost impossible.

If connected appliances ain't mission critical, why leave idle when you could switch off.

Aside idle power draw, how much do the inverter it's self consume ?

We put the inverter on idle just to test idle consumption. Not because there are moments we leave the inverter idle. No one does that.
