HealthRe: Having HIV Is Not A Death Sentence by ceaser:
Gentleswift:
The doctor said she contracted d virus 5 yrs ago and yet her husband tested negative. These things don't add up. Does it means he haven't sexed her for d past five yers or, he has been using condom d last five yrs?
Women are at more risk to get infected and so also are males that engage in homosexuality especially the recipient. This is because they are the ones who receives the deposited sperm (if it's from a positive partner). The mucous membrane of the vaginal wall and the rectum in the respective cases provide a rich and wide surface area for the virus to infect.

This is in contrast to the male. If the male is negative and the female is positive, the risks for contracting it are less. This is because the urethral meatus (orifice on the male organ where the urine passes out thru) is the only exposed part that the fluid from the positive female needs to get in touch with. An exception to this is if the presence of other STDs in the male (especially the ones that produce p3nile ulcers like herpes, syphillis, LGV) increases the risk. Another possibility is that during s3zual int3ercourse, the pubic hairs can scratch the organs of either partners, this creates micro-abrasions or breakages in the skin which can serve as portal of entry for an infectious agent if the fluid from a positive partner comes in contact with the skin at such breakages.

Most males don't do deep pen3tration during sex, so the fluid from the infected female may not really find its way easily thru the meatus. This doesn't however downplay the importance of ABC in control of STDs.

I know of a man whose wife is positive and the man still remains negative after birthing three kids. The kids are his by the way and he acknowledges unprotected romping with his wife, though mostly for the purpose of procreation rather than for routine pleasure.

Another reason for the discordance in the couple in the narrative by the OP may be that the couple isn't s3zually active. The wife was 53 years 5 years ago. She has most likely attained menopause long before then. And they may not have been intimate for 10 years especially if the husband is not be the s3zually active type.

I don't wanna sound judgemental, but the husband need not see the wife getting infected as some sort of metaphysical or spiritual occurrence. If the wife has not had any blood transfusions or shared needles with an infected person, she has questions to ask herself. She may not have been totally honest with the spouse and her fidelity may be validly questioned. History of rape is another possibility. For the female, just a single episode of unprotected romp or infidelity with an infected individual may be all that is needed to get her infected.

105ah is 92k for complete pack.

You can buy any lead acid 12v charger

And I believe you can get good one from jiji.com or even here on NL
Can two units of this 12v pack be connected in series to achieve 24v to run a 24v inverter system?

It requires dedicating some time to it with a lot of patience, the process of diagnosis is connecting a multimeter and then pulling the fuses one by one. However before you go that painful route check to be sure it's not the alternator, for over 50% of such cases it's the alternator. Note your battery resting voltage, disconnect the alternator and then check the battery voltage after several hours.
How would one disconnect the alternator? I'm he engine or in the fuse box?

I have been able to try diagnostics with one. It's actually 2 cars in the fleet that has this problem. One had an aftermarket sound system installed and with my suspicion, I tested current drain with a voltmeter while the sound system is connected and while it is disconnected. There was significant difference in current drain but disconnecting the sound system doesn't seem to totally address the problem. The alternator has been replaced twice due to other reasons (poor charging), so I wouldn't be sure it's a faulty alternator.

For now, I simply disconnect the batteries to the cars once they are parked even if I'm around. I can't kill myself.

you may consider getting a compact 10w or 15w car solar panel, you simply place on your dash board and it keeps your battery topped up and in good health
Where would the panel terminals be plugged into? The cigarette lighter port in the car or directly on the batteries under the hood?

There's a lot of battery/charging talk here

so could someone enlighten me on the feasibility of charging a car battery with the 12V points from a generator?

i didn't start my car for a week and discovered the battery was completely dead.

its a shock as the said battery is just 4 months old

anyway someone alerted me to the 12V output from the generator so i checked and it seems the generator should be be able to do 8Amps via the 12V output.

said battery is 75Amps


will it work? and is it advisable
I think you may wanna have your car diagnosed for parasitic current consumption.

I leave an SUV with 60ah battery parked for 2 weeks without running and it still cranks quite well after.

Meanwhile there is a second car that can't stay parked for 72 hrs without the battery running flat. It cost me two batteries within six months last year. Google suggested the problem of parasitic current leak but I don't even know where to start the diagnosis from.

Edited: I can see that earthrealm has answered the question.

Can one mix Lithium from different brands: say pylontech with other China brands?
One Chinese brand with other Chinese brands, maybe. And of course preferably in parallel in such situation as long as they are of similar capacity. If they are of the same brand and the BMS supports series connection, they can be connected in series.

Two of the 12v packs I have are LFP from different manufacturers but of the same 120ah. I have them connected in parallel. Although one of the two supports series connection but the other, according to the supplier does not support series connection.

As for the pylontech, those stuff according to the licenced user grin Omolyunade has bells and whistles that makes it complex and I think more intelligent. Na like say make Dangote pikin marry one local star guy from the village in Adamawa, e no dey easily work laidat.

Please a little.heads up.

12v system with 24v panels thru 60A 12v/24v/36v/48v MPPT SCC 100v max input voltage.

Is it allowed to increase MPPT SCC panels input to 36v (that's 3s config assuming each panel is 12v) or to 48v input (2s if panel is 24v) and still maintain the 12v system?

If yes, does this allow safely breaching the allowable 720 watts (12v X 60amps) 60A SCC specs for 12v system by increasing the input above 720 watts or is it criminal to do it?

Thanks.

Cause I fixed it in there

And all the cells are tested and certified before put them in a pack

They are made of 32650, cells
But I wonder o, how is it that the picture is culled from a Chinese website rather than an original picture of yours since you have units that you already assembled yourself?

I believe advertising using your own original picture and with your own watermark makes a stronger conviction.

Well understood, without the mains connected is the self idle consumption reduced or still at the almost 100w I suffer now.

Secondly, can a BMS with my specific charge and discharge current be installed on the lithium battery pack. Am asking generally and not on the specific pack being discussed.
Increased idle consumption is a problem with hybrid inverters because the extra charging circuitry bites its own share of the required idle current. It's likely you may still be bugged down by the 100A idle.

Yes, installed BMS spec can be customised with your current of choice. Ameh99 that owns the thread assembles packs. You can talk to him on your choice of BMS.

Okay cool. Too bad my prag inverter does about 14.7v, does anyone know how to tweak prag to get a lower voltage btw 14.2 and 14.4v?
I don't know how that cam be done on prag. But if you need to use LFP, yoy may have to purchase a standalone lithium charger to plug on the battery while you disconnect the prag from the mains.

You should use a cable size vs distance chart.


In general;

10MM2 Cable is rated for about 40A Max

16MM2 Cable is rated for about 60A Max

For your specs you are better off with 25mm2 from each CC to battery and then 35mm2 mimimum for your *common* battery interlink or bus bar distribution.

For the CC yielding 18amps, you can cheap out and keep 10mm2 cable but as you add more panels, you will ultimately upgrade to thicker gauge cables - might as well bite the bullet at once
Best option is to bite the bullet and going 35mm for the current set up.

But what happens if I decide to put a 3rd 60A MPPT SCC and maxing it out, thereby jacking up the SCC terminal to battery terminal current from 120A to 180A.

Is that a safe current to have around?
Is that safe for 35mm cable?

Secondly, buy an appropriate SCC that can match the cut off voltage of the BMS. Eg a 24v lifepo4 (3.2v cell) BMS will cut off at voltage exceeding 28.8v, so set your SCC maximum battery charging voltage to like 28.4v or something below that 28.8v.

Finally, not ALL MPPT solar charge controller fries when the battery is disconnected during PV charging.
@bolded is a very valid solution, from personal experience. And my SCCs did not fry when the BMS momentarily shut down charging then (happened a dozen of times before I could get the sweet spot of HVD setting on the SCC). This makes me to wonder that what the BMS probably does is to disconnect, thru it's internal circuitry, charging to the battery rather than disconnect the battery from the charging terminals. That way your SCC is not left vulnerable.

My SCCs are MakeSkyBlue and PowMr.

Pls house, what is your take on this charger as regards it's effectiveness and durability? Thanks.
I used the exact type (30 amps) for about three years on AGM cells. Charges well and the batteries lasted the whole 3 years before I switched to Lithium. So I've retired the charger.

I think it's a good charger. But await reviews from others here with more experience.

That user rating review will be worth taking into consideration,...did you go through the comments?
Thanks for calling my attention to that. I made that observation before I placed the other. Buyers' complains has to do with the items not probably shipped, or not delivered, or seller's slow or no response to complaints or ridiculously expensive customs tax upon delivery. The few that received the item did not complain of quality issues. The only Nigerian buyer there commented only "okay" as his review meaning he received the item and has no problems with quality

The seller has other items in his store and a cursory look at reviews of those other items are better, giving the seller a generally good rating.

I took the plunge to buy, leveraging on the buyer protection and money back guarantee policy of AE upon failure of delivery of items. My purchase protection runs out in 24 hours, but I had sent request for extension since 5 days ago and seller has not replied up till now, validating some buyers' claims that he does not respond to messages.

So I opened trade dispute for full refund this morning. I am optimistic that arbitration will be in my favour.
