Came across the possibility of hydrogen fuel cell vehicles threatening to displace battery powered vehicles. The technology appears so ubiquitous and cheap that it may also become a primary choice for household AE source. The hydrogen fuel (gas) generator can be solar powered and the gas harnessed to turn turbines which in turn power giant dynamos to power loads.

Yes. I received a call from post office on Friday

Hmmm. E be like say I go start to dey open dispute dey go o. I'm expecting items yet post office has not even called me.

Edited: Okay, it's Lagos folks. Anyway sha, na your backyard border dey.

NoMoreTrolling:
Oh I see, my bad!

Someone needs to buy and test those batteries though. They are much cheaper than even diy, lifepo4 from China using 3.2v, 100ah cells.

Are they really cheaper? Considering the fact that the Felicity offering is 150ah storage, with less usable and the equivalent Chinese offers that I've come across offer 200ah storage (capacity testing result).

ojeysky:
Do you mean won't? With freezer startup surge, I don't think so

Definitely the surge is something. But it won't matter if the freezers are started one after the other on a proper sized inverter.

A small sized freezer will have like 85 watts continuous consumption. A 1.5kva continuous/3kva surge inverter can handle 5 of those when started sequentially, I think.

Precovid, 70usd 60amps mppt.
Its a basic system that gets the job done.
Can charge lipo4 batt too.
The rivalry btw the 2 companies though, from this seems its makeskyblue that is the original clone..lol

Yeah. Have two units installed PowMr and one unit spare MakeSkyBlue, all 60amps. I just need a second MakeSkyBlue to pair with the spare one. I thought the floodgates are opened to Nigeria for AliExpress to do their thing, reason I asked.

alhasanalo:
Two 150ah batteries,four 150W panels,Hybrid 1kva inverter if your fans are not ceiling fans.This would serve effectively

She mentioned 2 yellow bulbs and 2 coloured bulbs. I'll wager those are incandescent lights like 100 watts each or at best 50 watts each. That's not to mentioned the 5 white bulbs she wrote which are likely CFL each likely 25 watts each - that makes 125 watts and then with the 4 incandescent bulbs (400 watts). That totals 525 watts on illumination alone.

525 watts will power 5 small sized deep freezers.

whiteMandingo:
Impressive.
I also like the way you arranged the display meters.
Is there a way to connect a display to show incoming watts and cumm daily watts/harvest using a similar display?.
I finally installed the el cheapo Powmr CC and it only has instantenous watt display, no daily cummulative.

Also anybody using Makeskyblue CC?.
Does it display cummulative daily harvest /store harvest logs

MakeSkyBlue displays the cumulative, which does not reset at the dawn of a new day. So it keeps accumulating until it gets to somewhere 9/9/9/kwh (not so sure right now) something.

The PowMr does not display cumulative. But it's cheaper than MakeSkyBlue now which is getting unbearably more expensive for an offering in that range, even for the fact that the two CCs are of the same form factor and similar performance.

By the way, did you just take delivery of the PowMr, ante-covid or it has been with you pre-covid?

Bros someone has to buy it first o and you will be good to do us that favour

On a more serious note, it's a 150AH battery on paper, we need to confirm if the entire juice is consumable or at least 90%

Sadly the vendors of that battery on here seem to be tactically evading that one million naira inquiry - whether it is real 200ah or just audio 200ah. I can see that it's the potential buyers on here that is trying to ascertain that fact for 'emselves.

Me I would just be observing like bat (in Fayose's voice) waiting for a lab rat to give the review

mctfopt:
Hello good people of renewable energy, recommend a good bluetooth earbud. Things to be considered are long battery life, aesthetics, Bluetooth 5.0, good bass. Other things are a plus.

Would you want one that will be powered by solar? Maybe you can also give the approximate power consumption you will be okay with.

Just joking.

But I've used a number of BT earbuds, from the dirt cheap, unpopular brand name TWS that lasted for 8 months to the Bluedio product (with good audio and battery life) that suddenly stopped charging on the 5th month of use and currently with Anker (also good bass and battery) 5 months in use waiting for when it would go kaput, but hoping it won't.

Leezah:
Pls does any one know this justcallmenuel and has he worked for anyone here?

I've transacted with him about four different times. He is reliable with delivery. Products bought from him have so far been working right. Actually the last deal I had with him got delivered about 2 days ago. So I think he still got his mojo.

His prices also seem to be very competitively attractive.

I think about two other buyers here have given good reviews about him.

D'you have this, or something like it?

GRACEGLORY:
There are some Hisense brand that would blow some Samsung brand away, some TCL that will blow LG away, some Panasonic that will do same, some Toshiba will do same et’ cetera... and also vice-versa. Each Tv brands are in levels.

For instance, An high end LG Tv compared with a midrange Hisense, could make you love LG, now, compare same LG high end with Samsung QLED, and you’d say Samsung is best. Now bring both LG OLED and Samsung QLED side by side, and you may be confused. High end Hisense compared with low end LG will make LG look like rubbish. That’s how it is.


I hope you can relate?

@ bolded. As a seller, you've laid your hands on a lot of TVs so yes, I completely agree that you're an expert at this.

I be like dude wey just dey manage to toast his second lady. I'm no match for guy wey don have leeway with 150 girls. The latter will be a smooth talker and what they call "Yoruba demon".

I only need you to use your experience to provide me with a TV that has the specs that I need. I have written it here before but it seems you're yet to get a product that meets all the specs.

hello house I have a dilemma concerning my step up, I have a BTS HYBRID INVERTER 1200VA (720W), 2*100Ah GBM DEEP CYCLE (12V,200AH), 2*100W (12V,200WATTS) with DOD of 80% and my average load is between 150-200watts.
if there is good NEPA supply, the backup last average 6-8hrs but if supply is poor the back up reduce drastically to around 3hrs.
I am surprised as I expected it to be charged by the solar panels when the power supply is poor or not available so as to have constant back up time.
my questions goes thus:
what is it that is not right in my step up?
how can I measured the amps from the solar panels?
does anyone have an idea about the efficiency of the GBM battery type and my inverter?
any other suggestions and advice is welcome.
thanks

I believe in this link is the inverter you talk about.

https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta/726#88936520

It charges well when NEPA provides good voltage and charges poorly at low current. If that's the inverter you use, then that implies you have an external charge controller for your solar charging option.

80% DoD is rather pushing it too much. That inverter has selectable switch for 50% and 80% DoD. I suggest you select the 50% in order to ease the usage stress on your batteries.

That being said, you did not mention your solar panel capacity nor give any info on your charge controllers so that people can "audio audit" if it is adequately sized to charge your 200ah 12v batteries.

You will need a clamp meter to measure the current going thru the wires from your solar panel, or through any wires for that matter.

How Fraudsters Among POS Agent can use your ATM without OTP to Withdraw Money from your Accounts
opera.com
May 10, 2020 8:02 AM

I am a mobile money agent that operate different banks POS. A lot of customers always run to my office when been frauded in one way or the days. I help people in logging dispense error and fraud complains to banks on their behalf, from there I have gained a lot of experience about different method that fraudsters use to withdraw money from people's account

Today, I let you know how fraudsters among POS agents can withdraw money from your bank account using your ATM without any OTP pins

Some POS Agent are fraudsters and some still sell your bank details to Fraudsters

Here are the methods they use.

1. When you get to a fraudsters POS agent. He will tell you there is no Network on his POS.

2. He will ask you to let him use his phone to withdraw money for you using online wallet (Quickteller, Opay, WalletNg etc)

3. He will collect your card to input your card details into his wallet to add your card. check below what details of your card he will input.

Interface for WalletNg

Interface for Quickteller wallet funding

Interface for Opay wallet funding

4. After input of your card details including your Security, ATM card number, ATM expiry date, Your Date of Birth. He will try to save your card details.

5. After the transaction is successful, the money will enter his wallet and give your Cash and return your card

6. First transaction on a card the bank will send an OTP to your phone to authorize the payment.

7. When you become his loyal customer, He will be using the app to withdraw money from your account.

8. After several withdrawal on your card from the app. The app will recognized your card as an authorize card holder anytime he wants to withdraw money and it will not send OTP to your phone again.

9. Them he started withdraw small amount of money from your account like N100 for you to keep thinking it is from your bank

10. That is many people always see debit alert of small money they can't claim at bank on their account.

10. Imagine he do that for 20 customers per day that is N100*20=N2000 on his wallet per day.

Please, don't allow any POS agent to withdraw your money using his phone. if there is no network on POS, wait till there is network BN or kindly go to bank to withdraw your money.

Kindly share this good information with people around you to protect their money.

JUO:
The hisense I know is not energy efficient, picture is very bad, my LG UHD 49' was good but not as efficient as my Samsung 55' Quantum Dots. If you are not bother about picture quality and consumption buy hisense

A friend got a 42 inch "dumb" (non-smart) Hisense TV. Also on solar, he went Hisense because I got energy efficiency with my own Hisense.

Sadly his Hisense does not even have anything close to energy saving. I was shocked and angered at the same time to know that Hisense could produce such stupid specs in a TV in 2019 irrespective of it not being smart.

But my own energy efficiency is Top notch sha. That'swhy it's good to buy from walk in stores armed with kill-a-watt meter.

Barezzi:
I sold this Tv the following day after buying it. I found out i couldn't install PLEX when i took it home. Very nice tv though.
As others have mentioned, I look out for energy savings option AND Plex capable.

If the OS on the TV is android, Plex should be available for installation from the play store na

microgiant:
I believe it should have, my search on google showed it among the least power guzzlers in test done

55" 4K UHD Smart TV | TCL C6 Series |
I read it is more energy efficient than the previous C5 series.

What can you deduce from this specs

Power Consumption (TV On) 140W
Power Consumption (Standby) ﹤0.5W
ECO Energy Efficiency Yes
Backlight Adjustable Yes (0~100)

Yeah, that adjustable backlight should do the magic. But the best objective way is to go armed with a wattmeter.

It is the cheapest, others - Sony and Samsung are between 30% - 50% higher in price

microgiant:
Also TV is on J U M I A so going with a watt meter to test is not possible.

That's the challenge with online purchases. Many of the vendors don't even know the importance and necessity of their diplayed products being energy efficient. Even when you visit the ones in walk in stores with your wattmeter, they look at you as if you want to perform some miracle.

mctfopt:
This tv is very popular outside of Naija. In fact in places like North America, TCL is the popular choice for most people.

That's interesting. Didn't know that TCL is such a popular choice.

My reservation though is that the quality of TCL products that will be produced for Nigerians and West Africa at large will definitely be substandard to that produced for North America. This is the same story with Samsungs and LGs produced for Africa.

But it's actually settling to know that TCL is a popular foreign brand. I had always thought that it is just some roadside Chinese cheapo like them "Djack, Hiview, Armani, MasterChef" and co TVs.

ojeysky:
Yes it was

You mean deliveries are now taking place? My orders are still in "stuck mode" o. 17track did not show any activity in movement at all.

But the post office have not started functioning yet na.

omotoda:
I use TCL 43"Ultra HD Android TV 2019 model.Energy consumption is 98watts at full blast.It has options got energy savings,I have not bothered checking to know what the consumption is at low or medium energy.I will check.tomorrow.

What's the size of the TV? Model number? Price too.

You will only be able to objectively tell the effectiveness of the "power saver" if you have it plugged into a wattmeter while you activate the option. In the absence of a wattmeter, you may subjectively be able to tell by the longer backup time of your battery.

It's good to know that TCL has that option. I have been wary of non-popular names in TV since when I purchased a 42 inch LED TV-decoder combo startimes. It consumed 69 inches and it had no power saver! I mean what nonsense was that? Even an 11 year old 32 inches LG LCD has power saver. Stuck with if for almost a year, I had to gift it out when I couldn't even get a buyer for it.

ojeysky:
So I have just received delivery of adjustable voltage and current Lithium charger, and I got 2 spares each 12/24v for anyone interested.

microgiant:
Good day ladies and gents,

Advise needed, I want to buy a tv, did some research and found TCL 4k Android Smart UHD Edgeless TV which meets my spec and budget. It consumes about 135w at full blast. Is it advisable to purchase it considering I plan to install 5KW inverter.

Also I had in mind to purchase an inverter friendly fridge, but unfortunately the LG fridge model JUO mentioned he bought for 80k and consumes 30w is currently out of stock. In fact, after he mentioned it I searched online and found it on jumia around 130K, but when I was ready to purchase, it was out of stock on jumia and konga. Please advise next possible option.

It seems many people are following this thread silently, and acts on any information posted here.

JUO, Ojeysky, earthrealm, ceaser

The TCL that consumes 135w at full blast may be okay on only one condition: if it has "energy saving" option. With that option, once activated, the consumption may drop to as low as 25 watts depending on the size of the TV. 55 inch Hisense smart that is 125 watts at max consumption drops to around 25 watts at highest power saver. I use 60% power saver and that consumes around 30 watts. The remaining 100 watts can better be channelled to powering other vital appliances instead of just wasting it on TV alone.

PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THAT TV (ANY TV FOR THAT MATTER) WITHOUT BEING SURE OF THE POWER SAVER OPTION. Better still if you have a wattmeter handy at the point of purchase to determine the consumption at different scenarios.

I know most large screen LG, Samsung and Hisense have that option. But I can't tell for TCL since it is a new brand trying to penetrate the Nigerian market.

And things used to be sweet. Only in our wildest dreams can it go back to that.

ojeysky:
With the official rate at 360 and some strings attached to recent IMF loans, I doubt there will be very significant difference, certainly prices won't go back to pre-covid period.

This is not a palatable speculation.
