Thanks

I use same consumption as you, yet I use 14kwh lithium battery and 4400w solar panels, and 5kva inverter.
Na your money go determine wetin you go use

I don't know if Peter Obi is not even consciously aware about some dirty questions which some journalists always throw at him. It's the same journalists that will twist whatever you say.

The more you talk, the more you will be dragged.

He has been so reckless lately.

Atiku stays silent for 4yrs immediately after he loses every election till next election and you all say he's not concerned about Nigeria but only himself.

Peter Obi, as every reasonable Nigerian, involves himself regularly with the state of the nation, and giving high profile life coaching interviews like the last one at honest bunch, and you say he should better remain silent in-between elections.

Its certain we are confused. I won't argue with that. But that we see interviews filled with life lessons as unnecessary shows how addicted we are to backwardness.

God bless that man Obi. May he give us more learning moments

maasoap:
Please do.


I heard you. But even with that level of commitment, your wife can still divorce you, separate from you or even the worst which I don't wish for your wife. You don't have control over those.

You are right. She can do all those. She can even poison me to det. I can't control those.

What I can control is what I can do, and that is, I'll never divorce my wife and mum of my children for whatever reason. She can do it, but I'll never do it.

Ajacent:
This is misleading, that woman is a content creator and has nothing to do with the King Solomon of our time

I guessed as much coz Equatorial guinea speaks Spanish and not really French.

maasoap:
Not saying you should, different men with different levels of tolerance. In this age that Hep B is flying around, the guy didn't use condoms. Just look at the number of women he was having raw sex with!!

Those are things we can check on.
But I'm not depriving my children of their mom. Only death can do that.

maasoap:
Are you sure the husband is their biological father? Any man whose wife is among them needs to pay for paternity tests ASAP

I agree with you to do test.
But what if they are your children.

For me I'm not sending her away. She has got enough punishment for her crime which is the national, self and her family disgrace. She'll live with that all her life.
But I'm not going to suffer my children for the crime of one woman who happens to be their mum just coz she cheated.

Sonnobax15:

Honestly,this saga of the equitorial Guinea Ebang has really taught Alot of men lessons....... Trusting your woman will be your greatest undoing as a man.....

TBH,I don't see any need confronting the whorrre..... Instead,just send her back to her parents house ASAP.

The mother of your children? Just like that?

dustmalik:
In the case of Nigeria, the reason Starlink suspended residential and roaming plans is because NCC asked them to revert to old pricing. If you try to place an order in Nigeria, this is the message that greets you.

Ewoooooo

My fears have become reality 😭😭😭😭😭

jmaine:
Relax... It takes a great deal to just exit...

That's a relief. Thanks

Nonso92:
I have to return it back to starlink

Wow.. They don't usually ask to return router except it's the dish

Bro, are we finished?

Starlink about to exit Nigeria like so?

Govt pls let them do their price increase. We are not complaining that much.

38k is just $22 per month and they can't survive with that.

The 75k is $44 and that's fair enough.

Its not their fault. It's you government that destroyed the naira but want business to keep old prices and die off?
This is why we are losing out in big companies in Nigeria. They are are exiting.

Tinubu and APC are the death of Nigeria.
We are finished 😭😭😭

Nonso92:
UPDATE
I reached out to starlink to complain about my slow Internet issue, and they concluded that my kit had a gps issue, that why my Internet has been poor.
They sent over a new kit and even offered me one month free subscription.
I just installed the new kit today and I have been monitoring the internet.
Previously I was getting under 5mbps at every speed test, but now it's gone up to 20. I'm guessing there might be an update on the new kit, then the speed would improve.

Can I buy the bad kit from you?

Good evening

I have felicity 5kva 24v inverter connected to 4 300w felicity panel and 60A charger controller, 2 200 batteries

System have being working fine until fews days ago, i noticed inverter is charging and working fine with nepa only

It seems panel is not charging it at all ( see screen shot)

Is my charge controller bad? If yes should i sti buy same charge controller or mttp

Kindly help

Better get an MPPT charge controller. Spend the cash and get good result. These type of CC I don't trust them except for a very small 100-200w solar panel application.

zeestone99:
Gone are those days broda.
Some Transformer based inverters are now efficient and have very low idle consumption, like our 5kva Snadi transformer based inverter on idle consumes around 29w to 30w.You can come to the office to check anytime u r free.

My felicity transformer based 5kva uses 78w on idle 😭😭😢😢

Dam5reey1:
Cable losses, connected device..

Stand alone Inverter is more expensive na. Unless you are not in market.

What's more expensive is transformer based. A hybrid is same configuration (that's transformer or not) will cost more than non-hybrid of same configuration.

Dam5reey:
This is my video too, watch to see my recommendation!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YL-Yt_O8E44&t=11s

So you never charge above 3.5v, yet you made argued in 2 pages of this thread why one can charge to 3.65v.
Imagine many people who took that wrong advice and didn't return to see that even you don't charge to that high voltage.

Try to talk your truth everytime.

Weldone big bro.

Haykay2001:
It's a normal thing for tubular batteries. Your battry/battries are fine.. Bulk, flot charge will automatically cut off when there is no longer external power source.. It then move to full state.. Kindly note this.. ✌️

Hi... You said you sent me a DM but I can't see it sir.
Please kindly drop the message here on the inquiry you wanted to make

Battery SOLD

Gbengakolade1:
Good morning bosses
Pls I want to make enquiries abt Starlink v3

1. The installation process
2. Monthly plan
3. Any issues with location cuz it’s meant to be installed in Ogunstate Ota to be precise
4. Signing up

Read through thread. Has been answered million times

georgee:
My speed this morning

Lagos

Slow speed. Hope it improves

For Abuja residents pls

skywalker95:
Hello house. I think I made a mistake by buying 4mm DC cables. I intend using two Jinko 615w panels. Please, is there any risk of fire hazard with this wire or will I only lose efficiency from my panels?

In everything, always use higher than recommended cables to secure you in future. 4mm is toooo small

bassdow:
it's not a myth but pure physics.
Ever wondered why measuring Voltage from Solar panel's terminal when connected to battery and charging, reads the battery bank's voltage BUT those figures jumps very high the moment the battery is disconnected ?

Someone in this group literally showed pics evidence that he paralleled 550kw, 200kw and some other kW panel and solar controller gave him a perfect addition of them all without losing from the smallest rated panel. How did that work?

skywalker95:
Good evening. Please, I want to decide between transformer based and hybrid inverter. My installer is saying I should use hybrid because it allows float charge and transformer based does not allow float charge even with an external charge controller. The orientation I have is that transformer based inverter is better than hybrid inverter for tubular batteries. I need advise on the right type of inverter to choose.

Once installers begin to dish false info with confidence better run. It's a sign there are other things he doesn't know and he'll mess up your solar investment.

Wetin concern transformer and floating?

Your question is also wrong. You should be comparing transformer based and transformer-less inverter. There are transformer based that are hybrid and transformer-less that are not hybrid. Hybrid just means that it can handle power sources from solar, battery and grid. They have internal solar charger. Non hybrid does not have solar controller, you need to buy it yourself.

Transformer based is heavy and occupies space but will outlast and outlive transformer-less which easily spoils when a kind of heavy load hits it. It's inverts electronically. Transformer-less are also cheaper.

Choose any one sha, it'll work

Trippledots:
@bolded....if it didn't break completely, you could have tested them before discarding. Cracked glass panels can still do their job most times.

I believe you.
One is just cracked throughout the body, and I later used it in another part of my building to carry a fridge/freezer and just that one panel cracked is doing it perfectly. For how long will it last, don't know.

The second one not only cracked but a hole was created. I didn't use that one any other place coz I'm scared water/rain will enter the hole and damage cells. If there's an advice for me to still use it, pls I'll need some.

Anyway, I decided not to include those two because of the myth that adding panels that produce less wattage will affect the general production if connected with good ones. Don't know how true, but that fear made me not to add it to the other 8.

Seplos Charging Voltage...

Interprete 58.4V...

Make una learn una dey argue.. and using some info wey no get fact to support it except for marketing gimmick and Covering of Battery Flaws!

Dey play...
Same seplos that says voltage from 42v to 58.4v, says you'll get to their listed cycles only if you use their battery at 90% DOD, then plus 70% standard capacity. They don't advice you to to 2.6v to 3.65V. You respect their specification by charging to lower voltage 3.45v-3.55v and putting undervoltage cutoff at 3.0v

One of their conditions too is 25ºc temperature which you know it's hard to attain in Nigeria constantly.
The odds are against us everywhere to keep our battery long lasting, yet you want to add to the stress by charging to 3.65V coz you saw it written that it can go to that.

While don't you run your car engine to 6000rpm always coz your car wrote that it can do it, and see if you won't change engine after 3 years.

odimbannamdi:
Are you on 48v with each of your cell being 280ah? If not, what is the configuration of your cells?

Also, I see you use 8 units of 550w Jinko panels. How are they connected and with what controller?

Yes, 48v 280ah.

I bought 10 with the intention of using 9 of the 555w jinko. Wanted to connect them in sets of 3s in series and sets in parallel. But 2 panels broke while transporting to the forest where I live.
So I had to do 4 sets of 2 panels. A set contains 2 panels in series and all connected in parallel. So I get like 100v of pv.

Thank God I bought 16mm pv cable coz that's what will carry such high amp that will be produced very comfortably. That big cable ensures you get close full capacity of your panels, coz if it's smaller cable I will lose a lot due to heat. With the 16mm, even at 10am I get 4.1kw

I'm using 100ahm felicity charge controller. I don't use hybrid cos at times I leave the forest for 2 months and I need to put off inverter and just let the charge controller keep charging the battery. I did so coz I was using gel batteries before and you know how they lose volts without floating it. But now I have lithium I think I can put off the battery and after 2 months it will have little change to the volts I left it with.

dollarnaira:
You guys are saying same thing in different ways.

Charge to 3.65v on initial installation but subsequently, charge to 3.50v each time.

Has anyone used LifePO4 up to 10yrs here?

Yes, someone has used for 12yrs, and he confesses never charging at high voltage. On YouTube you'll see people who have used for 8+ years and kicking strong. Mek I no come de sound like "dem say dem say"

Dam5reey1:
Ehehn.. these guys are Recommending Low charge profile to cover their flaws, in choice of cells and BMSes.

Cells can safely charge to 3.65V without any negative impact. They were designed to operate that way...

Limiting your usage to only 60% to prolong your batteries is a marketing gimmicks..

Just like Cells Cycles ratings are 8000Cycles 4000 cycles, they are just playing with numbers.

And never compare Cell phone batteries to LFP, they are different applications, different chemistry.

A Phone batteries experience up to 1C Charge and Discharge.. some Phone do up 3C..

Now check what your own LFP Batteries, they dont even see 0.5C not to talk of 1C. But you are there shouting dont charge to 3.65V as if the batteries were not made and tested to that voltage before getting rated 6000Cycles, 2500 Cycles labels you see.

Before Samsung release the Folding phone, you think they didnt testing how long you can fold the phone before wear and tear. And someone will just wake up and say for your phone to last long only open and close it once daily....

First you dared to down talk reputable name as Valto who Nigerians have used his products for many years. You did that, even bolded it, just to prove a point. That's wrong move.

Just read through the page. People have dropped words from high lithium companies like Pylontech and Sako and Co. They all confirmed what I've been saying. Not even one... Not even one recommended charging their battery at 3.65v.
You are the only one with this in here just because you want to sell a charger.

You are not a novice in lithium, yet we learn daily. You will do more good bettering your knowledge on this issue and advice people properly. Nigeria is messed up and things are bad. Best we can do for one another is give advice that will bring economical help to people instead of trying to maximise profit for ourselves.

Dam5reey1:
Never be charged to 3.65.. LMAO.. who is teaching you all these, US community who are not major battery maker?

According to All LFP manufacturers, they say test at 1C from 3.65 to 2.5V..

Attached is EVE.. so quoting community or video for charging parameters is irrelevant...

Start testing things yourself.

Bro, we've people in the house here who literally make lithium batteries like Valto.
When they do their test, and balancing, they charge to full 3.65v before selling to you.
But they don't expect you to charge that high if you want your battery to live long. If you don't, they don't also mind because in few years you'll run back to them buying another one.

You just read in comments above that Pylontech, cworth, sako, anker etc all tell you to charge with range of 3.45v-3.55v. No company will tell you to charge at 3.65v if want to be sincere and protect their good name.

Even your phone maker tells you not to charge your phone to 100% but rather 80%. You think they don't know what they doing telling you that?
