Not sure this is possible. The extra battery (which makes you refer to it as being upgradable) is mostly used as a backup to charge the main battery. You can't connect an extra battery to the main Ecoflow, increasing its capacity. If you want to increase the backup time, you need to buy another full Ecoflow system and connect both in such a way that one will charge another one, while you use the one that is being charged

You're wrong. Ecoflow batteries can be upgraded by buying an extra battery: https:// www. jumia. com.ng /ecoflow-delta-pro-smart-extra-battery-3600wh-capacity-284217087.html

Trippledots:
Someone outside this forum said this battery gave the rated capacity when tested. And that the 3kw solar inverter did well too.

Awesome. Thanks.

HeavenlyBang:
Firman is mostly new to the RE market, I believe. At least in Nigeria. Wouldn't be my first choice.

Thanks

What do you guys think of the Sumec Firman 5KW battery (grade A cells?) and inverter?

I know their generators are excellent (I have one), so I expect their batteries and inverters to be of the same or better quality.

The origin of our problems till now. At 65 we still won ban solar panels importation.Bravo!

I'm telling you. The news shock me.

Seems no one noticed we are in Independence year on this thread. Page 1960

I've been following this thread for months and it's been worth it. Keep up the good work guys.

Canada should pick fights they can win!

Embrace peace.

Thanks so much for your help.

Hi guys, I'm new to this and have a few questions please:

1. What happens when a solar battery charges fully? Do the panels power your load directly or do they keep drawing power from your battery while the panels replace the energy used from the batteries in real time?

2. How do you calculate the number of solar panels you'll need to power your load during the day and still have a fully charged battery by sundown?

3. How much would it cost to build a solar system with a lithium battery that can power a few bulbs, a gaming laptop (230 watts), a Skyrun 70-liter fridge, and a standing/ceiling fan?

Thanks in advance.

USAID Funded Boko Haram, Other Terror Groups – US Congressman

US Congressman, Scott Perry, has said that US aid agency, United States Agency for International Development, funded terrorist organisations, including Boko Haram.

Perry, a Republican representing Pennsylvania, made the claim during the inaugural hearing of the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency on Thursday.

The session, titled “The War on Waste: Stamping Out the Scourge of Improper Payments and Fraud,” focused on alleged misappropriations of taxpayer funds.

“Who gets some of that money? Does that name ring a bell to anybody in the room? Because your money, your money, $697 million annually, plus the shipments of cash funds in Madrasas, ISIS, Al-Qaeda, Boko Haram, ISIS Khorasan, terrorist training camps. That’s what it’s funding,” Perry said.

According to the subcommittee’s website, it will “actively work with President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency to root out waste, shore up vulnerable payment systems, and fully investigate schemes to defraud taxpayers.”

Perry further cited USAID’s reported funding of $136 million for building 120 schools in Pakistan, alleging that there was “zero evidence” of the schools’ construction.

Perry added, ” If you think that the programme under Operation Enduring Sentinel entitled Women’s Scholarship Endowment, which receives $60 million annually, or the Young Women Lead, which gets about $5 million annually, is going to women who, by the way, if you read the Inspector General’s report, is telling you that the Taliban does not
allow women to speak in public, yet somehow you’re believing, and American people are supposed to believe, that this money is going for the betterment of the women in Afghanistan. It is not.

“You are funding terrorism, and it’s coming through USAID. And it’s not just Afghanistan, because Pakistan’s right next door.

“USAID spent $840 million in the last year, the last 20 years, on Pakistan’s education-related programme. It includes $136 million to build 120 schools, of which there is zero evidence that any of them were built. Why would there be any evidence? The Inspector General can’t get in to see them.

“But you know what? We doubled down and spent $20 million from USAID to create educational television programs for children unable to attend the physical school. Yeah, they can’t attend it, because it doesn’t exist. You paid for it.

“Somebody else got the money. You are paying for terrorism. This has got to end.”

US President Donald Trump has previously called for the closure of USAID, accusing the agency of corruption in a post on his Truth Social platform.

The move is part of Trump’s–and his billionaire ally Elon Musk’s–drive to shrink the US government.

Musk, whom Trump appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency, has also criticised USAID, alleging that it engages in rogue operations.

Musk has called USAID “a viper’s nest of radical-left Marxists who hate America” and has vowed to shut it down.

Among other criticisms, which Musk has claimed that USAID does “rogue CIA work” and even “funded bioweapon research, including COVID-19, that killed millions of people.”

Trump said DOGE would “dismantle government bureaucracy, slash excessive regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure federal agencies — essential to the ‘Save America’ movement. This will send shockwaves through the system, and anyone involved in government waste, which is a lot of people!”

Wow. Hard to believe, but seems credible enough to believe.

Beautiful couple. May their union last till death do them part.

App has done more damage than good in some cases, so the ban will definitely have positive effects on society, the extent to which I can't say. FB, YT, and Instagram were still the most used SM apps in the US in 2024 despite the presence of Tiktok, so I doubt Tiktok will be missed much.

This is serious. Trust no one.

Meaning any gathering of 20 people from tomorrow, dispersed or picked.

We knew the protest would be hijacked by miscreants but the election losers are not just interested to see things from different perspective.

Was the protest about killing and looting?

Pissful protest in North today actually

You're too stupid to exist. You're a stain on this world. Igbos did not join your hopeless protest, yet you blame them. When people like you exist in Nigeria, how can Nigeria move forward? The more divided we are, the worse the country gets. That said, I'm not asking you to change. Far from it! Please continue the tribalism you've started. We'll see where it takes you, the likes of you, and the country. We'll see how it all ends.

You Yorubas always side with Hausas to vote in your preferred candidate (Hausas are your masters and lords) because you hate Igbos, yet all the presidents both tribes have voted in have done nothing but destroy this country.

Keep it up. We igbos will watch as you all suffer the consequences of your hatred, and we'll be laughing as we watch.

kedeojo:
What consigns you. You people evil plan against Lagos has failed. Go to your zone and hold your governors to be accountable. Lagos is working. Anybody from other region, who want to destroy Lagos by disguising as protester will be serious death with. Everywhere is peaceful, because children of hate are warned by Yorubas, to stay clear of protest.

Thank you Sanwo-Olu. No more gentleman my governor. My governor, we should no loose guards yet because the miscreants trying to scatter Lagos are still around hiding somewhere.

Anyone that is angry with this news should go and hug transformer.

Thunder fire all those IPOB retards that are wishing for Lagos to burn.
Anyone trying to destroy any public or private property should be shot on sight.

I hope they're brought to justice -- the lot of them, not just two.

Gptech:
Everything is in the manual, just read. To clean just wash with warm water and soap, rinse with warm water then dry. When its completely dried of water, soak it in clean engine oil, squeeze (take note, dont twist it, you'll end up damaging it if you do) out the oil, then put back into the gen.

Thanks a lot.

fijiano202:
and change coil every 100 hrs..have never clean combustion chamber before

What about the air filter? Do you clean it yourself? How easy is it?

fijiano202:
its almost 2 years have een using that SPG3000 I haven't open anything except plug cleaning and change abd changing oil...you dont need all those you mention as long as you are changing oil...

The surprising thing is my key starter is working for almost 2yrs now

Nice. Mine has a manual starter.

The manual says to clean the air filter after every 50 hours of use and combustion chamber after every 300 hours.

Is it OK to ask a mechanic to clean the air filter and combustion chamber for me like twice a year even if the gen is working perfectly?

Gptech:
Read your manual. Since the gen is new, your first time oil change should be more sudden than normal. Some manufacturers require you to do this after using the gen for 40 hours, check yours. After the first change, you can do subsequent change of oil after 60-70 hours, also depends on what you have in your manual.

Thanks. Mine says after the first 20 hours, and every 100 hours subsequently.

Bump

Bumping this thread again. Please share if you have this movie.

I just bought an SPG 3000 Firman generator, and I'm wondering how often people service big generators that have a separate engine oil compartment.

I've only ever owned an "I pass my neighbor" generator (the type that requires a gasoline/engine oil mixture to run), and it needed servicing every 3 weeks when used daily.

Please if you have a generator that has a separate oil compartment, let me know how often you use and service it.

Note: Servicing = opening up the generator and removing the carbon deposits, not changing the oil.

Thanks
