Pls where did you buy it? I was just about to buy from aliexpress.
I believe you bought here.
All the ones i see here are modified sine wave.

Helep me abeg with source

I have once on this thread confirmed that my own 3000w24v is what am using to pump my 0.75hp borehole even as I write this it's pumping.
Is it modified sine wave or pure sine wave?
How is the inverter noise level?
I'm trying to get this for a small application

Greetings All

Please i noticed that anytime i switch to Napa to charge my inverter once the battery gets to 100% the felicity inverter will go off with error code and once i remove it from nepa it will begin to work fine

Note: This does not happen while using solar

Will appreciate your help


Inverter is 5kva 24v felicity
Battery is lithium 8.5
Charge controller is 120Ah felicity
Panel is jinko 8 pieces of 615w

Thanks
Share the error code. That's how you diagnose.

Yes do, and glad to see you edited your post also.

All the things you brought up earlier had already been discussed in those pages and it turned out to be an interesting discussion with real life experiences shared.
Lol... You read it fast. I just decided i didn't want it to be another discussion so i deleted it.

Why would u need 1000amps? Unless it's a high duty truck or performance car
Small cars need about instant 300-500A to start.
Bigger cars, SUV and mini trucks (eg hilux) could need 500-1000A. Imagine going higher to big trucks and lorries.
Lead acid have no problem with that.

We've had this discussion on this thread earlier this year or so, and as HB indicated, people have been using lifepo batteries for ages to power their cars.

On the DIY angle, I also remember posting a video on this thread of a guy who had been using a wooden contraption with lifepo cells to power his car for like 4-5 years.



As for this assertion and CCA, this is definitely not an issue for lifepo cells as they will practically always out crank a lead acid battery of similar weight or capacity.

I believe the main issue why LFP has not been adopted universally in the West is partly because of pricing and safety concerns but now it's mainly its limitations in being charged in cold weather. No one wants a battery that you may need to swap out for a quarter or more of the year when their is a reliable chemistry one has been using for more than half a century that works fine.

EDIT: the page we thrashed this out for a bit

Thanks a lot bro.


Thanks so much for that link. I'll go through it and learn more.

It's only over the last two years that LFP has become popular for home energy storage, so it's not surprising that people aren't using it for cars yet.

This is a subject we've had plenty of discussions about on this very thread, as I wanted to replace one of my car batteries with an LFP one earlier this year. One of the key sticking points, unfortunately, was price.

But it's doable. There are lots of people using DIY LFP batteries on their cars on YouTube.

Batteries are batteries at the end of the day. You just need to make sure the thermals are fine and charge/discharge make sense.

There's the option of charging directly from your alternator. But then you rely on your alternator+cells to handle your LVD and HVD points, and risk cell damage due to overcharging.

If you introduce a BMS to handle charging, you then need to make sure it's one that can also handle the high instantaneous discharge rates needed to start a car (can get up to 600A).

Ultimately, it's doable. Try it out and get back to us cheesy
Those are the complains i made.
You'll need a BMS that can handle 1000A, and then batteries that can do 3-4C to hit 500-1000A.

They have always been available I think. See this one for instance
Nice one.
Why is it not easily ready and common in the market and DIY achieving it?

Mercedes has been using LFP on some cars for 5+ years now.
Cool. That's Mercedes for you.

I was referring to why we can't build it DIY and why isn't it a common thing today easily ready in market for all cars.
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ask4bk(m): 8:05am On Jul 05, 2025
Just curious.
Why are lithium LFP batteries not common for car batteries to replace the traditional lead acid car batteries that after 1-2 yrs is bad.

I know that cars use high cranking amps to start a car and that may make it hard getting an LFP replacement. But i believe there are special high discharge LFP cells that can be hit with 300-1000A discharge in few seconds just to start the car.
If that is possible, then a special BMS that can chest such high amps discharge can be used.

If such LFP cells exist, which i believe they do (never researched on it yet), and such BMS created, i think we can replace our car and truck batteries with LFP lithium and enjoy our batteries for 5-10 years.
Plus it'll be lighter.

Does anyone have info or research on this and why it isn't happening yet or becoming common, apart from the obvious challenges I've anyway mentioned?

You mean the 49k roaming? Why would you wanna switch from that to 57k residential? People on that 49k plan are extremely lucky, they have the best plan currently. They can move anywhere and still have service and also paying less (for now at least).
You mean those who were on it are still stuck on it with N50k somehow since their plan wasn't price modified and the plan is officially removed from Nigeria?

Ndide Obi is now a legal counsel, someone listed with Peter Obi as the co owner of Next Foods Ltd.

Why is Peter Obi not even smart at all with his inconsistent story self?
Oh boy, your reading and understanding capacity dey very low.

Where did the statement say Ndibe is a legal counsel, or did it not rather say the legal counsel acted on the instruction of the CEO that is Ndibe?

Only in Abuja and Lagos. Be clear about that

dustmalik:
Yes, that's what it means. The activation charge only applies in locations where there is no more capacity. It's not being added in locations where there's still capacity.
Just confirmed it, Malik.
Outside Abuja and Lagos you don't pay that.

IT IS BASICALLY STILL DISCHARGE CELLS.
The post literally said "the baby". Are babies the cells you talk of? Nope.
By baby it means fertilization has already occurred and a human is formed

We are saying the same thing.
You will not resist to keel or kpai another man's child, simple.
We are on same page, only that you don't want to use the word "unalive, keel or murd3r".

But you'll criticise bandits when they kpai innocent people in Benue whereas you are doing same.

Just use the real word "keeled".

Hi guys. Has anyone had to relocate their starlink before? Like from ikeja to Lekki. Is there any fees involved for changing address?
You can't change address in a place with max capacity reached. You'll loose your slot in your Ikeja and can't get a new slot in Lekki. That's if you are among the lucky ones on residential
