chibatov: Baba, if you need to pay 85k for something that goes for 160k to 250k in Nigeria, then you have a good deal. Even if you are to resell at the prevailing price here, you'd definitely make trice the cost price as profit. Abeg, go pay o. Otherwise if you're no longer interested, just hala me. I'll pay the delivery company and pick up the stuff. By the time I list it on Jìjì, I should recoup me investments in few days. But what is in the speaker that it is that madly expensive? Even Bose premium large BT speakers isn't that expensive. |

Vahyela: Is your sliding gate opener provisioned to use battery (DC powered)? If its AC only, then you should be looking at around 180 watts motor and around 250 watts peak per cycle. But if it is provisioned for DC power (AC/DC/solar), then the motor should be circa 80 watts. You may need to use a watt meter to be sure of the true consumption though. I use a 12v/24v DC/solar powered model (with in built charge controller) after retiring an AC powered one, though none of the two are "centurion" model. Your 12v 7.2ah may power it, but the backup will be quite short. The quiesent current draw of my AC opener was around 4 watts, then the dedicated 24v inverter also consumes 8 watts, so by morning the 24v 12ah battery backup is flat. So I was forced to retire it. The DC opener has a slot for 12v 6ah battery, but I decided to construct a 24v 20ah Li-ion pack for it. The voltage of the pack has never gone below 25v ever since it was connected to it. Its charged by 2s 12v 40 watts panel. I use an external PWM controller, not the in built one. I believe not using the in built CC will prolong the life of the board although I already bought an extra board as stand by against the rainy day. |

jboixxx: I believe the bolded is a valid reason to file for dispute. It is even part of the pop-up options. However since this is already in Nigeria where rẹ-routing is still a possibility, perhaps he should tarry a little before he goes for the option of dispute especially if purchase protection is about to run out and seller refuses to extend request for extension of protection.

brightk: @bolded is quite untrue. The MC4s are designed to ensure perfect and fit contact with themselves. They are weatherproof and designed to last the lifetime of the panel. They are also rated to handle the current that flows from the panels. That is why arcing is quite uncommon at their points of contacts when used in installation, whereas the naked wires (after the MC4s are decapitated) will form arcs when huge current passes across the twist junction. This gradually weakens the joint and eventually the joint burns out, disrupting flow from the panels down to the CC, hence your voltmeter may give correct voltage reading at the termination on the CC, but no current will be detected by the CC. The naked wires too (even with black tape insulation used), are prone to oxidation as they get exposed to the elements. So if the problem of arcing does not occur soon, oxidation will definitely come along later. The wire develops depositions, the strands become brittle and break off easily. You don't want to have this kind of problem if your panels are roof mounted where they are not within easy reach. Hollawayn05: I guessed as much. If your panels are roof mounted, sorry you will have to climb back on the roof. If it is a weak joint, twist the wires well. If it is an arc joint (with dark burnt junction and melted insulation), then you have to cut off the bad section and make another twist. After the correction, check back on the CC to see if its charging. But I can assure you that the problem will likely repeat itself later on as it has to do with the junction not being optimal for the current coming from the panel. So your best bet, which I implore you to do, is to purchase MC4s and rẹ-fit back to the panel wires. 1 Like 1 Share |

Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 12:38am On May 16, 2022 |
Hollawayn05: Maybe I should ask you this: Were the MC4 connectors of your panels left intact by the installer or they were cut off? This is important especially as you said it is a new installation that has worked for only three days. In instances as where the MC4s are removed, the twisted panel wires often form an arc at the junction of the panel wires and the wire running the rest of the way to the CC. With the arc formed at the junction, a voltmeter may even show normal panel output voltage when measured at the point of entry to the CC. However the current required from the panels will be low or non-existent as shown by the CC. |

Clikkz: I used both StanbicIBTC card and Gomoney virtual cards for purchases today. Both went thru. I think barter may still not work though cos as I logged in today, I was assaulted by a full screen notification of their cards not working for purchases because of maintenance. But I funded it and converted to dollar and it went thru, yet purchases won't. Like say dem sabi collect money but dey stingy to allow it used. |

okikigsm: It is evidently a no show. Since the tracking number appears invalid (used previously) I messaged the seller about 5 days ago but he has yet to reply or even read the message sef, as in the message is still marked as "unread". I also tried to revisit the product page but got the reply that the product is no longer available. The store is still available though, but I doubt it will be for long. So I decide I'm gonna file dispute but I will have to wait for 10 days Post-shipping duration to have a permission to do that. Today makes the 6th day after shipping.

FireTheSun: Speaking of China, do you know that China has now become the world's wealthiest nation? It recently overtook the US as the wealthiest boasting of 120 trillion dollar, 30 trillion dollars more than the wealth of the US. Ah, God. I still remember the days of "Chinko phones" that have FM antenna and those very loud speakers, phones with TV tuners in them . That time as happening guys, we wouldn't come near those products with a foot long pole. This is just less than 20 years ago. But while outsiders see it as an abysmal and inferior manufacturing capacity in China, China sees it as a weaning stage, a developmental stage that should be negotiated. Everything they have done, all their policies over the past decade has been a deliberate, strategic and steady plan to become wealthy and dominate manufacturing. Those short guys are not short of wisdom at all. But this may not be for long though. India is another potential destination of this record soon. Manufacturing, manufacturing and manufacturing. These are the three ways a nation can become wealthy. If Nigeria likes, they should produce all the maize, cocoa, cassava, crude oil etc in the world. If there is no way to have these things converted to finished consumables within our shores, we will keep being poor; exporting a kilogramme of cocoa pods (that can produce hundreds of chocolate bars) at a measly 2000 naira per kg while the hundreds of bars are sold back to us for around 50k. I don rack my head tire on top many ideas. But large capital is absent and much more, I am fearful of the Nigerian business killing policy. 4 Likes |

Overall I think the OP should try to be very clear, simple and explanatory with his depositions rather than the confusions he fills his arguments with, saying it authoritatively as if his is the holy grail and all other things in the past 1170 pages have been false junks. He stops by occasionally and drops one or two grenades , newbies dey here ó, make una no confuse us. Shey because someone mentioned resonant inverters now, as newbie, I will start looking around for "resonant" inverters, I'll be like kiekie, adrusa ó, justcallmenuel ó, abeg I need "pure Sine Wave resonant inverter", do you have? And if as a newbie I now see good supplies of 18650s over FLA, I will turn it down because someone says Li-ion is not good, Haba! HeadofNairaland: I quite get your flow.

HeadofNairaland: Thanks for the input. Not to appear gropping at semantics, the keyword there is "burn" which is quite different from boil or "heat" which was used in the snapshot, the latter two being able to take place as incomplete process in the absence of oxygen. Pressure cookers expel most of the air yet the substance still cooks, but not aflame. Only a few substances are effectively incendiary enough in the absence of oxygen and I don't think wood is one of them. That is why wood fire as a class two cat can be extinguished by a fire extinguisher because it suffocates the wood of air whereas a Lithium ion (LiNiCd) fire ńa werey fire classified as class four, not easily countered by your common extinguisher. Heating in the absence of air I believe deprives the end product of Oxygen species as part of the compound which in turn makes it highly reactive (i.e hungry for an element to combine with to stabilise itself). This of course stands to reason because the "activated charcoal" end product is used in various applications the one I'm well used to, as a medical personell, being to detoxify the stomach contents when poisoning is suspected. The charcoal hungrily binds to any elements or chemicals it meets in the stomach in such instance. On the other hand, if ithe wood were aflame - a process clearly requiring air - then the end product will be quite different from that of heating it in a vaccum. Again this is me just pulling it out of my basic knowledge residue (yet to sit down and research it), therefore I may still be incorrect, but I think my basic knowledge says otherwise. 5 Likes

darediamond: Na wa o. How do you even burn dry wood in an airtight container, hehn?! How will the fire burn? Even with fuel mixtures, oxygen is still needed for fire to burn. See, I think you're trying to pass information across, but the way you are going about it is very nondescript. You don't even make effort to make detailed and convincing explanation and in easy to follow patterns. The way you jump from one discussion to another makes your depositions too abstract, uninteresting and non-catchy reads. I don't mean to come across as confrontational o before you now reply me with diatribes, that will even be difficult for me to read smoothly sef. 4 Likes |
