Lol... Well, you are right.

But, a smart way is to Just turn it on while listening to an fm radio next to the engine area. The unmistakable statics should be there.

Also i think if they do use a brushless DC (bdc) motor, it will vebe written somewhere on the body.

Thank God it wasn't lithium. Your house would be on fire now. See why I like my lead acid. If you over do, the little nigga will just swell up. Not like egbon lithium that will just vex and catch fire.

Please we should be careful with our DIY. certain level of hazards is inevitable but of course without experimenting we won't learn new things.

I took this battery from a ups and connected it to my panel to watch a program. The following morning i left it to charge while my wife watch tv. Unfortunately she went out and by the time she came back, all she was hearing was a shrill noise. Rather than disconnect, remove this battery and return to the original battery, she put on the tv and the noise stopped. Case settled as far as she is concerned. By the time I came home in the evening and she told me all, the battery is bloated ti this level( picture attached).
1. Can i still 'manage' use the battery?
2. What is the implication eg fire hazzard, explosion etc?
2. Why fidnt the cc trip off and stop the vharge agter the battery became full, or is it not suppose to do so. It is a 12/24v pwm
4. Would incorporating a fuse after the cc prevent such occurence in the future for even if i am using a bihger battery (100ah for example) and it gets full while i am not home, suvh can still happen.
5. I am saving up for a mppt cc (that fake/original that was a csuse of argument on this loop recently, bluegate or do: will confirm the name)
Thsnks all

Mo daran!
Most of them are from southeast .

Wow! Just wow!
99.99% of them are from the southeast mehn !
This one weak me, I can’t lie .

Well said.
of course when all that happens and life appears no longer sustainable on earth, the privileged ones will relocate to some distant planet Mars colony.

Did you think it is by coincidence that some Sci-fi movies depict human relocation to Mars following nuclear apocalypse on earth? Or that Trump has signed into law some sort of "US Space Force"? Or that the Elon Musk spaceX guy suddenly has significant breakthroughs into re-usable space vehicles instead of the one-off use that characterised most space missions?

Except if some sort of divine apocalypse takes place as prophesized in the scriptures in the form of the rapture amd all other events following up to it, a man-made nuclear event may just be a matter of time.

quite tricky.

the charger that comes with the zinox has a charging voltage of 19v with 3.5amps. your solar panel will produce something around that amount IN CLEAR BRIGHT SUNSHINE. on cloudy days the 80w panel will be insufficient. , I still suggest the 150w panel.

also, when connected directly, I noticed the battery voltage kept increasing to the the Voc limit on the panel. this is bad for lithium batteries. which is why the PWM controller whose link I posted will come in handy. it will limit the charging voltage to the value acceptable by your zinox Powerbank.

please be careful.

generationz:
yes I intend getting a solar charge controller I think it's about 5000 Naira in the market.
So if I have the 80 watt solar panel and I have the solar charge controller I can easily connect it to my zinox power bank right?
Please how much is the 80 watt solar panel price currently?

Penuelseun:
You can use the solar panel to charge it but you have to be really careful when doing so. Why don't you just get a charge controller with capacity to charge Lithium batteries instead of troubling yourself if you're not tech savvy

Trippledots:
For the ceiling fan? Pls link of store u got it.

To whom it may concern:
I have noticed that not all DC fans come with brushless dc motors. Some simply use a brush dc motor. That is still more energy efficient than an ac motor, but a brushless dc motor is the best energy wise, plus it doesn't generate static noise that can interfere with radio signals. Just so you knw.

generationz:
Are you saying that you use an 80 watt solar panel to charge your zinox power bank?
Please I really need to know if that's what you do and how you go about doing it is very important

Penuelseun:
I have a friend that sells the two. The black Zinox box for 11k while the blue battery goes for 28k

Penuelseun:
Yes, the same Zinox device, but I still prefer the 40ah blue Lithium battery pack. It is more reliable

Penuelseun:
what I do is I connect my discharge wires directly to the battery, that way the bms is only needed when charging the battery. I think the bms is rated for maximum 80watts

lexi28:
pure sine wave inverters are more expensive and hardly come in lower capacities less than 1000w.

p.s you should know that there is a load limit of 100w on the zinox power bank. so I guess buying an expensive pure sine wave inverter for a 100w load limit is not cost effective. depending on your load, buy a MSW 300W portable inverter. or check this link:

best of luck

generationz:
Thanks a lot.
Yes I use the zinox power bank. The black 105000 m a h. what about inverter? Which inverter should I use?

ojeysky:
Right and I think I hinted that in my comment earlier; my current bank and load is not optimal so am not getting all the juice out yet. Nevertheless all my consumption needs are meet for now which is most important.



Yup understood, though I must note that my generation period is currently between 8:30 to 5pm and this is due to the fact that I am currently running the minimum panel requirement for the system hence due to low Voc the CC doesn't commence mppt early/late enough, will add more Panels in future as budget permits.

Nigerians dying overseas like flies. No where is safe no more.

P.S who else noticed the ropes tied to his legs and hands?. This is racism of the highest order.

texazzpete:
God will punish all of you that believe this guy truly made a perpetual generator that runs on water.

Your parents spent serious money to put you through school to get an education...yet you fall for cheap fables that completely oppose the laws of physics and common sense.

Kai!

@Simplyleo
Thanks for fighting the good fight, but as you've no doubt surmised by now, this country is overrun with imbeciles.

Simplyleo:
Let me give an analogy of what you just said.

A tank of water is connected to several pipes and one of these pipes take water back to the tank, then you expect the water to sustain for a long time even though other pipes take water to other places for other uses.

The electricity generated by this generators being used for other purposes while part of it is used to recharge the battery and you expect the generator to continue running. Niggah, go back and study engineering very well and focus more on energy conservation.

For your info, I watched the 6 minute video from begining to the end.

Guestlander:
Probably why the video was taken down by YouTube. Nigerians with dubious claims.

DJEhimond:
You are really right. It was really hard to let it go, but local man wasn't getting enough. I still have mine at home though.

lexi28:
hi, best of luck tinkering with the set up. kindly post the eventual solution you used. can you also post a pix of how your digital temperature controller looks like and where you purchased it?

harizonal123:
Did you consider the life circle of the battery that will be constantly recharged from. I don't think it is a good idea as it will reduce the life span of the battery you are tapping from

olaolu11:
This battery level signal at back of my inverter, how is it used? Do i have a meter connected to it or what?
And the fan is no longer working. Can i diy replace it?

olaolu11:
Hmnn. If i get your point correctly, as one battery is charging via solar, i will switch on the inverter and use it to charge the other battery using ac charger. Is that what you imply? If yes, where and what charger do i get?

Chat me up on WhatsApp for us to discuss privately with regards to that 08037748901... wish to hear from you soon

lexi28:
hi, why don't you buy a 12v Dc fan & a GOTV 12v adapter. connect the adapter to output of inverter, then place fan directly blowing into the inverter. that's what I did with the 3kva VIL inverter whose fan only kicks in at 65°c. I connected the above and placed it to blow air into perforated side vents near the inverter transformer. fan only works when inverter is working. the inverter is much cooler now.
OR
most fans in these portable inverters are evacuators not blowers. the fan is not powerful enough to evacuate heat build up hence increase in internal temperature. can you change direction of flow of the fan, so it sucks outside air and blows over internal components rather than evacuate it? Just reverse/flip placement of the fan. ensure some gaps exist in the casing to allow hot air flow through.
