I don't think this guy is here for real business. He's just catching fun, I believe. Pple, those who have had encounters with you are making grievous allegations against u based on the purchases earlier made, and instead of addressing their complaints, u keep writing "available", "buy urs", pick urs".... U think we are foolish? I have almost ordered for some of the items until I started reading those negative feedback which I expected u to respond to but which u unfortunately jettisoned. What a poor and novice marketing strategy! The earlier you do the needful, the better for your business

• Screen size btw 32 to 40 inches.
• Curved screen
• UHD, but FHD is passable.
• External AC power pack (rather than the AC cord)
• Preferably Sony product
• Android OS on board
• USB/HDD recording
• WiFi
• WiFi direct
• TV - Phone mirroring

[quote author=GRACEGLORY post=84166005][/quote]Apparently from one of the pictures uploaded, the power pack for this TV is external, is that correct?

If that is so, it means it'll likely have a 19v DC input port. For me, this is one desirable option.

Other desirables include
• Curved TV
• HDD recording, camera
• PIP (picture-in-picture),
• Backlight dimming to achieve maximum power saving mode (I expect something in the range of 30watts to 40watts at maximum saving mode)
• Phone - TV mirroring
TV - Phone mirroring
• Between 32" to 40"
• Smart feature
• Android OS
• Preferably Sony product.

Can you do the magic of getting something packed with all these in one?

Good evening house. I am too lazy to read these days. Pls, does a DC TV works on battery directly(12v) or still needs to be connected to an inverter(220v). Thanks

Those I've come across work much like the DC fans.

Their power pack is usually external (220VAC to 12v/19v DC) into a DC input jack on the TV. So that means you can equally plug in a 12vDC source into the jack directly from a battery so long as the required ampere draw is met (eg 12v 3A for some 22" TV and 19v3A for some 43" TV.

Note that most laptops use 19v3A DC power source, hence you can equally power those 19v TV with that same laptop power bank as I've seen someone who does. Gets like some 3.5hrs runtime on a 33wh power pack of that Zinox power bank.

I am presently reading about BMS that regulates fridge and with that in place, fridge will be wired to work only when we are not home for about 5hrs.

As "BMS", d'you mean Battery Management System?

I DIYed a 12v relay module that directly switches on the inverter (relay is paralleled to the inverter switch) once the battery voltage on the SCC reaches the reconnect voltage and switches off at low voltage disconnect. The relay was salvaged from a bad fridge guard.

I needed some "delay" feature to allow some time between inverter power start up and freezer startup. So I used a functioning fridge guard (they come with startup delay function).

So my old reliable haier thermocool double door 130w fridge that has served me reliablly for over 10yrs.stopped cooling properly.
Diagnosis by repairman says internal leakage and requires some repipping and all.....

So am in the market for a new energy efficient fridge,
Who models do you guys recommend??

mek una talk o, no be when i don buy finish...somebori will come and say, u 4 buy this model or that

Bro, your Haier thermocool served you for ten years and even though that is below par in the standard of days of yore when you have cooling appliances running for decades until the enamel gives way and rust takes over or until the doors start to fall apart, 10 years may be impressive in the standards of nowadays. So why don't you shop for Haier thermoccol product as a replacement?

I used to have a Haier thermocool which was repaired after 9 years of use and still working but now consumes upwards of 350 watts continuous (I guess the repairs caused the surge in power demands). I simply got a Haier thermocool replacement.

The only thing I did was that I went armed with my wattmeter to measure the least consumption in their offer of products and secured a 114 watts 209 litres freezer.

Other less popular brands equally have energy efficient (or even better energy efficiency than your popular brands like LG, Samsung) since "energy saving" the current fad among manufacturers to draw more patronage. But I think the brand that has served you well before should top the list of preference, except you have impressive users reviews of other competing brands should you then consider such.

A member once posted here the insanely low energy consumption of his 207 litres Hisense deep freezer (70 watts continuous, I think) that all I could do was envy him in "sifia psychological pain" since I got the Haier thermocool replacement just about 3 months before he got the Hisense product.

Another good thing with some wattmeters is that along with continuous power draw log, they also log surge power and surge current at any instant of appliance powering up. That way you will be able to tell the surge of the appliances especially the cooling appliances.

brother,
why don't you contact juo and get yourself a low consumption dc/ac ceiling fan?
at full speed it's just about 25w and first or second speed would set you back only 5w.
I think it would serve you better than this standing fan you're trying to purchase.
best of all, you can obviously hook it up to your inverter system without stress.

I hate ceiling fans. There are not mobile and therefore permanently change the appearance of the room, exept the luxury ceiling fans which beautify and if course does not come in solar LE consumption types.

For me, if I need anything like fan, standing fan does it or at worst orbit fan which is also small enough to be partially mobile and less conspicuous than those ceiling fans.

Hello my Ogas in the house, I have a question, can a 14. 8v dc input burn a 12v ups? Because I use my ups when charging and the battery gets to that voltage in the afternoon, I have been using it like that of recent but just worried about the ups not burning due to overvoltage. The ups is a bluegate 650

A 12v ups or inverter is usually rated for voltage range of between 9.5v to 15.5v, and most usually have disconnect protection at the high voltage setpoint.

How is the power bank performance? I won't mind getting it o. I thought I would get two of those fans by month end but with this jack up in price, I may only get one and save for the other. E good make person get money o, I for fon buy since.

The power bank is actually marketed as a UPS for laptop but it has 3v to 21v voltage selector depending on your requirement. The performance of that power bank is sweet, depending on the capacities of installed batteries of course (either 3 or 6 batteries can be installed to produce nominal of 11.1v, 12.4v full charge). Remember that your typical laptop battery also has similar 6 pcs installed 18650s.

I installed 6 18650s of 2,200mah each and have a runtime of 7hrs to 8hrs full speed after sundown, meanwhile it remains fully charged as long as power comes from the 50 watts panel whenever the fan runs during sun hours.

NB: Please if you will buy the bank, I think you need to be careful with the some buyers. I bought the first set of 2 pcs about 2 years ago and only recently came to realize its usefulness in the solar fan thingy, outside of the occasional laptop and majorly security LED floodlight application I use it for (thanks to one forumite here who posted that he tweaked 2 units laptop batteries to his solar fan and has overnight runtime).

With this new discovery and realising I might require more units, I placed 2 more new orders from a different seller (cheaper offers - 3k6 than that of 2 years ago - 7k+) but I painfully discovered that the function was slightly challenginly different and I probably got my money's worth - the new units heat up pretty quickly when they work at 12v and above.

Another difference is that while the former ones require only the single press momentary key to switch on, these new ones require simultaneous press of all three keys each time you need to use it (in the ideal setting, the 3 key operation is only required to activate the unit each time there is a battery change). This posed serious challenge in use of the device in solar application. Instead of gluing one switch down to permanently keep the unit switched on, now I have to think of a way to glue down three switches!

Finally, one of the two apparently burnt out on a 80 watts 12v panel. The former ones do well on 80 watts panel, although I mostly use it at the manufacturer's specs 50 watts safety margin.

Namzy:
I'm sure the charge controller you are looking out to determine whether you battery is full is basing the it's percentage on the battery voltage which is unreliable. My axpert inverter does that. Your battery will have different voltage based on the load applied to it. So a 100% battery when you put a sufficient load on it will suddenly drop to like say 80% and when you remove the load it rises back to 100%. For an accurate battery % reading get a battery meter that has a shunt to calculate amps going in and out to determine the battery percentage. I recommend the fangpusun bmv 700 on aliexpress.

Will the battery monitor be connected in series with the battery-inverter line in order to measure the amps? Most meters that do that require series connection. If it's only for voltage measurement, parallel connection suffices.

New type of DC meters that do not require series connection but works by parallel connection and hall effect sensor to measure current flow thru the battery-inverter positive lead are still on the expensive side, much more expensive than the counterpart AC hall sensor current meters.

The issue of wind turbine had been dealth with long long time ago when many of us were finding it hard to maintain healthy over nite voltage. But nowadays lithium brands have been helpful.
Pls Check out may be you may find it helpful.

My brother, this lithium thing wicked no be small. Haba! It now became a waiting game for me and the thing, counting the rate of voltage drop when it working. Shuo! Na so this thing talk say make I dey look am o.

12v 120ah 13.3v when fully charged on a 114 watts freezer. When first installed, I waited late into the night to watch the voltage drop to the 12.2v low voltage disconnect that I preprogrammed when it was on lead acid. 11:30pm, I was already sleepy and when it never reach 12.5volt I had to manually switch off the inverter myself. That is like some 5.5 hours extra mileage over the counterpart 12v 100ah lead acid battery. I no plan for any vigil abeg.

Following day I had to upward review the LV disconnect value to 12.4v (I'd have made it 12.5v but because the voltage fluctuates to 12.4v at startup of the freezer). I also downward review the solar panel disconnect voltage to 13.7v from 14.7v, HV reconnect to 13.4v from 14.4v (full charge of battery is 13.3v and it requires no equalization-float parameters of lead batteries). With 13.4v HV reconnect, the freezer starts up at around 10am. I retired the external charger used with the AGM since the lithium battery has an in-built charger, requiring you to only plug in an AC cable.

This freezer was until recently on 12v 100ah and by 6:30pm, the 12.2v low voltage already kicks in. Then with the AGM battery, by 9:30 in the morning, it has already reached the 14.4v reconnect point and freezer is on.

Now that results from this test run seems to be impressive in the past week, I think I'll retire all the lead batteries for less demanding tasks and replace with lithium, maybe even try a 24v pack for more breathtaking experiences.

Just out of curiosity why hasn't anyone experimented with Wind Turbines.

These past few weeks Sun shine was a huge luxury here in Port Harcourt.

In the month of Sept and October some days it rained or was cloudy for 6 straight days
With very poor solar yield. Even today 16th of Nov its still raining in ph.

I had to improvise and maneuver to make sure my batteries don't fall below 12.3v but even at that on 3 occasions the batteries fell to 11.9v and 12.1v before sunrise.

My battery bank is 48v 600amps (12nr) with a solar array of 7350w (15nr 250w & 12nr 300w) and 2nr Outback Charge Controller FM80

These has necessitated my research on wind turbines but it seems to have very poor reviews.

I want buy 2nr 1000w FuSystems wind turbine paralleled to give 2,000w.

Please those who have used wind turbines please what is experience.

You may only be to enjoy wind turbine if you stay in certain locations which may include but not limited to shorelines, city outskirts, farms with very few overhead vegetations. These are my experience with places with fairly good wind speed, although I have not used wind energy myself.

If you live in cities and especially in those with serious overcast heavy air as seen in industrialised cities like PH, you may not get adequate wind speed to enjoy a turbine except if installed several meters into the air.

I stand to be corrected from wind energy users sha.

Good day, we just installed a solar system in our house to power our electric fence 24/7.So far, we haven't had light for 3 days. 3 pcs of 150w mono solar panels were installed to charge our (one pcs) 200ah battery. Since it was installed, we haven't had light. When the sun charges it, it shows all the battery bars complete on the charge controller, but once I turn on the inverter it shows that only three bars of batteery is available for use.This has been the case for 3 days now that I have been charging it with just solar, since we haven't had light. It has never charged full even with good sun for most of the day.
.
.
.
With not all our connected appliances loaded, the inverter alarm starts beeping batteery low after 4 hours of use, whereas the charge controller will still be at two bars. My husband says his colleagues inverter battery charges with solar under 4 hours, and it's d same capacity as ours. Pls what do u guys think, cos I am planning to call the installer for remedy.

Why don't you just have a standalone solar set up for your electric fence? You can go the DC direct way or the inverter way depending on the type of electric fence you have. And with either options I doubt if you're gonna need anything more that a 75ah battery to run the night before solar recharge at dawn. You may not require more than one piece 150 watts solar panel with that set up. That way, you'd have less headache with powering your home security apparatus while still giving you less headache about nursing the solar setup to your home appliances.

I installed a standalone setup for a 200 watts motor AC gate opener.

1000 watts surge pure sine wave inverter
28 amps AGM battery
10 amps PWM SCC
2 pcs 50 watts solar panel connect d in parallel.

Gate opener works for unlimited runs during daytime as long as their is some insolation. The battery is able to handle the 2 watts quiescent power of the opener + 9 watts quiescent of the inverter overnight that the battery still remains at 12.5 volt by morning, enough for 5 open-close cycles of the gate before the sun comes up again.

Your electric fence will require much less.

I noticed that this stuff comes too expensive for the functionality when I bumped into it on AliExpress. But I think you'd enjoy the versatility if you can afford it. The charging algorithm is 3 stage. It helps you to output any charging voltages and charging current you desire and that will be a good thing to have for DIY stuffs.
