Why will they use 280a and market 314a?

Haisic needs to be boycotted by people going for brands.

mctfopt:
They know the people often like it shiny. Nobody makes it as shiny as the fake merchants. They often go over the top in adding unnecessary LEDs to the mix so everything lights up like a toddler's shoe

I want to express great appreciation to everyone who have supported my journey to power sufficiency.

As being said here, "na person wey get sense dey use inverter" lol. Years back, I started with 2 then 4 and then 6 pcs of car batteries including my car battery and the others from my "Kazeem"lol and a MSW inverter then Tubular Batteries...

Yesterday I journeed further with an 8kwh 25.6v pack from Mr Reed. I must say, even when I could not see or touch his sample earlier sent to a client of his in my visinity, Port Harcourt, I kept faith and gave him the benefit of doubt.

After 2days,i got my pack from Kaduna to port harcourt via waybill and I can say, it feels great.

To Georged1, Trippledot, Nnamdi, Mr Reed and one other moniker I can't remember now, really, you guys are more human than humble, just my choice of words here.

I highly appreciate all of you. I pick my phone, call all the names above at will and it's always almost unending conversation. TRIPPLEDOT, REED, Georged1. How do I appreciate you guys. Now friends for life I must say.

Mr CuteMaro, thanks for your last words to me against all odds and or fear. I understand and can relate when you think I am new on the page so not sure. I lost control of my old account of 2006 recently so no worries brother. I can relate. ...

Please let's not hesitate to patronize Mr Reed. His humility, willing to explain to the simplest of details is out of the normal Nigeria business person. He takes, atleast my call just anytime at will calling me Oga, bros, I am no be Oga just as struggling fellow as you.. Lol thank you for your commitment, sincerity, dedication, will to go far out to support when reached out to also as confirmed from one of the names mentioned above. Thank you to everyone for the ideas, knowledge sharing.

Judgementday666:
Thanks. Is this Valto the same guy as Dowu Tech on Tiktok? Because when I search for Valtech Energy his page comes up.

Judgementday666:
Well said. Where can someone order these batteries directly from the manufacturers?

HeavenlyBang:
Deriy also made full capacity and are really cheap, just a bit more expensive than our builders.

Dam5reey:
Deye has also been done. I just completed for 8kwh 25.6V Haisic..
We are active on Tiktok..

When a BMS shuts down, it cuts off the voltage from your inverter. If the inverter can not do batteryless operation, you will need to find another way to wake up your battery. Even if your inverter can work without batteries, there is no guarantee that it will wake up your BMS. Once some BMSes shut down, there are specific methods needed to wake them up, not just supplying them voltage. That is why it is good to set the cut-off voltage for your inverter higher than for the BMS, so that your inverter shuts down before the BMS. Every installer should pay attention to this when installing lithium batteries.

There are also some BMSes that bypasses the BMS for charging or discharging. Such BMSes have another leg that goes directly to the battery without passing through the BMS electronics. That way if your BMS dies, your battery can still be charged or discharged properly and the BMS will come up when the battery gets to the set recovery voltage. However, if you have that kind of BMS, you must set your inverter/Charge controller charging or discharging profiles to ensure that you do not kill the battery with overcharging or overdischarging.

bassdow:
you do know you mustn't use an inverter to wake a sleepy BMS right ?
Hopefully it's only sleeping, and didn't go into lock-down

That's just another feature that hybrid inverters may or may not have. Even external charge controllers come with this feature while others don't.

ask4bk:
Then it means you want to put a solar charge controller into the non-hybrid inverter and make it a hybrid. That's Cool stuff.

The feature for an inverter to run from solar power independent of battery isn't a core hybrid feature. Many hybrid inverters don't have that feature though only a hybrid can have it since it has charge controller for solar panels. It's just an extra feature that hybrids may or may not have like supply to grid, power priority feature, etc... What makes an inverter hybrid is just one thing alone - that it has internal ability to get power from sun. Shikena.

ask4bk:
What wire size did u use from battery to inverter?
Since you using 24v system it'll be cool you use 2awg size coz of high amps if you one day use a high inductive device on your system like pump or AC or iron. You could draw 80-120a. But if you don't use any of these then 16-25mm 3-4awg that you seem to be using could go.

FordMustang:
Thank you so much boss. My budget is 1.5m

FordMustang:
Hello House/Gurus in the House! 👋

I'm new to the solar energy world and need your expert advice. I want to install a solar system for my store and would really appreciate guidance from experienced members here.

My Requirements:

• System Size: 3.5KVA 24V hybrid inverter

What I Need Advice On:

• Which brand would you recommend for a 3.5KVA 24V hybrid inverter? I've heard mixed opinions and want to hear from people with real experience.

• What's the best tubular battery brand I can use?

• How many batteries would I typically need for this setup?

• What brands of charge controller will give me the best performance and longevity?What wire gauge (mm²) should I use for:

• What mistakes should I avoid as a beginner? Any components I shouldn't cheap out on?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience and wisdom! Any advice from the gurus here would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

Looking forward to learning from your real-world experiences!

Please be wise, be smart, be discerning, be careful.

Fakeisfake:
OH yeah, its simple... You should have gotten a mail, 2 anyway from NL with my name here, from that, you may choose to respond then I can exchange same from that we can have a call thats how it works...

However, I saw your 8kwh purchase and I have spoken with your dealer as well and am informed you stay in port harcourt so I was thinking if it were possible just to have a physical assessment one of the days on my way from work to take a decision on the two giant dealers here on NL particular in considering the huge price difference you got yours to the quality of it. So I just wish to have a physical feel/inspection
By the way, I stay by Woji as well and if you don't mind a visit from me really and I would appreciate otherwise of course no problems brother.

Fakeisfake:
Hello @CuteMaro,

Sent you two emails now, now sure if you seem them, could you kindly respond if you wouldn't mind please.

Is the box metal or wood?

BigDickProblems:
Some versions of Li-ion batteries now have a USB C port
Source: https://x.com/mkbhd/status/1929608426268598692?s=46[/quote]I've had these for 2 years, but micro usb version. Very nice invention.

They're very cheap too. Has an inbuilt charge indicator. You can get them from your normal average electrical stores.

HeavenlyBang:
Tested on lowest speed. Lasted 11h3m. Voltage when it shut off was 9.7v.

LVD of 9.7v
HVD of 12.3v

Within spec for Li-ion, I believe. Experiment looks like a success. If this gives me 18 months of use, I'm a happy man.

HeavenlyBang:
Never mind, I foolishly ran the test with the fan still connected to AC.

Battery is actually at 12.3v, which is perfectly fine for li-ion. Looks like the fan knows exactly when to cut off charging.

You should be apple to parallel them quite easily.

HeavenlyBang:
I bought the li-ion battery pack on Jumia as a replacement for the lead acid in my rechargeable fan btw.

Battery came in at 11.6v, which should be about 65% SoC in a 3S 18650 setup. Pins don't match so I just ripped off the pin on the battery and connected directed to the fan's pins. Works fine.

Discharge/charge behavior remains to be seen. And that's what concerns me most. After all, lead acid is effectively at 0% SoC at 11.5v while a 3S li-ion is still at like 50% at that voltage. Hopefully the fan's LVD doesn't Bleep me over. Will update.

HeavenlyBang:
Ok.

Mrreed:
The only con, they should have substituted that for a smart BMS.

fuckboys:
it's close to 3 weeks now of active usage and I've never drained the battery no matter how hard I try.

A Fridge and a 43" smart TV with 2 ceiling fans all night has refused to drain the battery. It's very good.

fuckboys:
i never really charge with nepa or gen, I just have it installed in just for the convenience of it.

KudozInteriors:
I intend adding extra 3 or 4 550watts panels after this whole brouhaha has ended.

I heard that they don’t allow police or army to arrest anyone in Alaba. I don’t know how true that is. Nevertheless, I’ll get him arrested if he doesn’t cooperate.
