i wish we are already in 2023

i wonder what is delaying their sack.
even local vigilante know what to do to fight insecurity even at the cool of their offices dey can still surgically use drones. it is indeed that our ARMED FORCEs refused to live up to their oath.

It all started last year November when my lil sis called me jubilating about how she got 90k with just 30k in just 3 weeks.

I asked her how and she explianed. In her words. I met this guys some weeks ago and they talked me into crypto, at first I declined, but I finaly decided to play along with them by staking a token of 30k with them.

They called me today (3 weeks later) saying that crypto market has crashed! BUT before it crashed her token was able to tripple! that had it being she invested earlier that it might even be ×10!. I was happy for her. I asked to invest again but she said that the market is down, but they will let her know when it rises.

January 10th this year they called and asked her to invest again. She wanted to invest 50k but they adviced her to invest with a big money, so should it case it the market didnt last long and it only double or tripple, there will be no problem. She called me and explained everything to me, being a novice in crypto, I just asked her to be careful. Am coming guys..

i believe this case has been settled in the other room... the marketer can't claim ignorance of this deal.
thanks for your warning i wont like to deal with such marketer because u wont like such bitter experience.

and for the marketer ....accept responsibility.

i feels ur pain...i was shocked the first day i saw my flexmax sleeping when i needed charging during a good sun-day, moreover this issue had been discussed and resolved few years back for flexmax users.
i had 3 flexmax (two 80A & one 60A as backup)i did some reading & tweaking of setting to over come the sleeping of
the CC since then it has been enjoyment galore. you have a wonderful machine though not modern to say but it can get the job done. i will advice u dont waste money on another CC unless u prefer modern toys.
whatapp me on zero8zero34three87threeone1 to walk u through tweaking it. you can thank me later.

I had similar high rating about Outback but I finally learnt that they are over rated. I personally bought 2 of them from Amazon in US due to its high ratings.

Now let me give u my layman experience.

There is usually PHED in the morning around 7am till like 9am, the CC continue to show charged even when utility is no longer available. So while the sun is shining the CCs are sleeping and the inverter is busy draining the batteries. By the time the useless Outback CC kick in around 2-3pm it will not be able to charge the batteries till they float or absorb. Most times by the time my wife returns from school runs the inverter has shut down due to low battery.

However the Victron CC I have in he village moves quickly from float to Absorb and then bulk within few minutes when utility is no longer available and the AC is on. It makes the batteries remain fully charged till 5-6pm most times 6:15pm.

So I have learnt not to joke with little details. They can cost u a fortune.

Don saipro your temptation dey sweet me ooo

Saipro:

To buttress your point, I've used 4s configuration for many years now using my 255W Canadian Solar panels on my Midnite Classic 150. Truly, it has HyperVoC which permits PV voltages of 150V + (bank nominal voltage) but I never get to 150V despite using 10mm² cables over a distance less than 8m. Highest I've seen is 132V; lowest about 90V. I'm contemplating trying 5s

mctfopt:


Thanks a lot for your explanation. Please can you add schema to help buttress this explanation?

Reach out to me @
efurosibina@gmail.com
I will give u with supporting pix

Aaah it is nothing special. I got the looping idea from 24v fangpunsun battery balancer.
And tried it. Few months thereafter, I realised that Oga Niyiomolyunade understood the trick too because
He elaborated on it. He specifically said batteries will work like a giant battery bank. He was very correct. That was my experience too.
Coming to schema
At 48v, you have 5 pararell of 200A batteries making 48kwh of well balanced storage.
Just loop wire at every point of 12v , 24v & 36v across the 5 pararell. In my case I got 10mm wire for the looping
This looping across 5 pararell ensures that at each point of voltage eg 36v is 36v irrespective of place it is being pararelled whether it is string 2 or 5. Literally, looping balance out voltage vertically while equalisers balance out horizontally within each string.
Being DIY am pretty poor with explanation but I hope this suffices.

Edited
Mind you I said well balanced storage because my maximum over night need is just around 40% of the capacity (or 90% for 50% DOD rule for LA batteries which they're ) when on air conditioning. However, when not and it is just fans and lighting points, the bank is 98 to 100% charged the following morning. The daily cycle continues hopefully for the next 3yr having spent 3yr head on already. For now no fancy of lithium technology yet. I still dey ported to LA like the creator of this thread. So help me God!

mctfopt:


Damn, that's a huuuuuuuuuge bank of batteries. What make is this? If you have time you can share your schematic of your wiring.

Not using 2v batteries oo. I run my setup on 20 solid units of 200A batteries at 48v
That large volume of batteries are well balanced using looping apart from using 5 equalisers. This prevent one battery running away from others. They dip and grow charge almost equally.

mctfopt:


That's good to hear. You guys are making this decision easy

What's the brand of the 2V 1000AH (I'm assuming it's 2v) and what system voltage are you running?

Those big capacity batteries usually pack a punch.

Since ur curious to know.
I run 2 non inverter ACs on solar. 1.5 Hp in my sitting room (which come on day time from 10am to 4pm), 1hp in my bedroom (almost 24hrs or as I desire )
Am not yet on lithium technology because my 3yr old 1000AH lead acid serves me well on 6kw PV. My servere over nite dip has never gone below 48.4v in the last 3yr. I am practically of grid. My AEDC recharge of 3k still dey prepaid for almost a year now. I ask you do you think I need to buy electricity from dem? That their yeye 3k can only last me 3 to 4 days of using my bedroom AC.

So it is renewable all the way ooo. No regrets, except for fake products in the market.

mctfopt:
Genuinely out of curiosity, is anyone running ACs or AC off their renewable system? If yes, what is the minimum battery and PV they running it off and how has the performance being?

It's a little over a year ago I have commented here.
I am happy few people recognised the 1000 page mark. So i decided to chip in commendations to veterans here who have touched people's lives positively. We all know who they are.

I say THANK YOU ALL.
I remember from few interesting pages back then to exciting and flourishing discuss. From outrageous prices of some marketers to issues resolution, the thead has grown larger and larger affording countless Nigerians see the light on a SUN-DAY as doable, affordable and enjoyable as a diy or as a client.

I love you all our legends, you are all selfless. Even though many of you are quiet nowadays but ur words speaks on. I doff my cap in respect!

Deluxe8000:
Based on experience which one is better?
New 100ah battery
Fairly used 200ah battery

For goodness seek how will you compare the two?
There so many pros and cons.
I am not going to waste my time on sort.

I just want you to apply 50% DOD rule on both
Batteries and you will know which is better in terms
Juice they contain.

Remember I said 50.1v minimum overnight voltage
Yes - 200ah x 20 or 48kwh as my bank

By Manual air condition i mean old power guzzling shinco ac running @ 1400w

Meanwhile my bank is properly circled on daily basis and leave the rest to my balancers.

ceaser:


@Bolded. Do you mean 20 (twenty) pcs of 200ah?

Now I understand your position that you can't afford lithium at a go. What is the voltage of your system?

The lithium that will replace 20 units of 200 ah at a go, well maybe Buhari will lend you the money sha.

Bro which type is manual air conditioner? Is it power saving?

Anybody using these balancers for leadacid smf batts.
HA02 doesnt seem to be doing much to keep my batts balanced. 8 x 12v x 200ah 48v inverter.


Or suggest a known functional balancer

Am pretty sure you did not depoly the batteries same time.
If you did not then we are in the same boat. But
I will differ from you cause I believe my balancers are doing a great job.
With 2 Taico balancers and 3 HAO2 attached to my 20 x 200ah batteries purchased at almost 6months intervals. Some of whigh are already 2yrs old but never experienced 50% DOD.

Though I acknowledge lithium is is the new template for us but
For some of us who can't afford lithium at a go will have to make renewable work at our pace using lead acid. It still serves me well with my manual Air conditioner working till day break and a resting voltage around 50.1v

So my brother.

Don't loose faith in balancers.
I only hope you did not allow the terminals touch

If you don't mind, can you drop the solution here?

I can guide you through the annoying problem.

Oga truthbetold22 I get your gist as it relates to optimizing ones’ energy need vis-à-vis generation to make an economic sense. I also know you do not intend image harm to Comrade Niyi. However, you seems to MISS one important fact and that is the fact that many of us here (at least for better half of a decade) are solar hobbyist or Solar DIY addict.
To me, I can tell you straightaway that the points you are weighing or canversing do not apply when you are a Solar Hobbyist or DIY addict. The mid-point between economics and actual energy needs becomes oblivious, what becomes obvious is your inner quest to achieve your grand innate desire being brought afore from your sub-consciousness.
I have garnered a lot from Niyi’s design particularly having 38,400KWH Battery Bank Lead Acid self balancing loops theory which empirically helped the bank despite 2yrs counting in spite thorough regular use. If I apply your cautious observation to my battery bank I will probably just need 9,600KWH since I always get away with overnight voltage of 48.2v at that level then. Perhaps being an addict made me markup more batteries to 38,400KWH, at this set point, I rarely deplete it beyond 52.1v or 50.6v with intermittent Air Conditioning.
My point now Oga truthbetold22, I think Niyi’s investments in renewables goes beyond your cautious observation, it has become an obsession that is familiar with us as a solar addicts. Some will even buy battleborn lithium battery and teardown I have done that before with a 2 months old Microteck Inverter as well as other ones. The last one I did failed coming on and it is receiving attention from a guru on this forum. This do not necessarily mean one has endless resources to play with but I know you understand the word ADDICT.
Therefore, Lets Jawjaw and press reset button.…Nigeria needs us in the coming months of darkness from Electricity sector…

truthbetold22:


Chest beating afonja.. empty vessel.. Because we are on Nairaland, some people will be claiming all what not.

Because it is Niyi now, none of u want to think with your brains, only with ur anus.. my opinion hasn’t changed. 3 inverter air conditioners, an inverter washing machine, an inverter microwave, TVs on energy saving mode, all bulbs as leds and u are down to 3000-5000 watts instantaneous at most..

Why then does anyone need 19k watts??

Uninformed fools

If you know, you know!
You have said it all. Atleast from practical end of it.

OP can proof us otherwise.

adrusa:


Do 48v if you can afford it. It is less stressful for your system compared to 12v or 24v. It also allows you to use more solar panels on the same charge controller. Your wires will not be as hot and your contacts will not suffer so much burns from arc current. The only disadvantage is the minimum number of batteries required which is 4. You can minimize the cost by going for lower capacity batteries like 100AH.

Topmost11:


If someone refuses to pick my calls again, i see no reason why i should hide his/her identity.
There is a seller on this platform whose after sales service is minus zero. I learnt he will even insult you if you disturb him too much. I read about him on another forun on nairaland. His name is promininent on this platform as well. Only thing is you have been transacting business with him for years without problem. What now happened?

One reason why this thread still enjoys continuous survival is that we have near zero tolerance cheating particularly supplying wrong items not specifically demanded for (usually items beneath price paid for despite paying over bloated prices all the same).

However, I will advice you contact another installer to check your PV. There could be many reasons why your PV is still outputing 2 amps inspite of SunDay. You could even have a full battery sef.

When you have exhausted all your checks and possibly redemption. Nothing STOP YOU from letting the house know the dubious person SO THAT WE CAN OSTENTATIOUSLY ACT and blacklist him before he tarnishes other honest marketers or innocent hobbyist/diy who may fall victim on daily basis to such devilish cheating acts he calls business.

Letz get value for money before Nigerians loose faith in renewable sources due to these act wickedness!

Check your mail. Feed me back with your results!
Welcome to flexmax family.

ojtech8291:
I sent you an email. Thanks for your concern.

Yes! It is a setting problem

No! Not battery related. But snoozing means not charguing thus user may continually drain battery.
He can always equalise them later.

nonoski:

Change ur settings
It's shows ur batteries are getting weak

ojtech8291:
How can I control the frequent tripping flexmax80 even when there is sun sometimes. It is always going to snoozing mood. Why?

I will talk you through it, If you want.
DM for guide... to renew your faith in the flexmax family.

It appears as practicing diy in solar, we have similar and sometimes varied experiences acruing from being a diy.

To me battery balancers have performed great and had delayed purchase of new set of batteries for my 48v few months ago. Even though am yet wondering why you consider it culprit. Perhaps you're right in my view that it covers up the weaker links in your bank. It also point to the fact that you had no time to tend yourbanks always in order to detect bad battery in series early enough. Nevertheless I will encourage you to plug in your balancers back from the beginning of your new bank.

If you have more than 48v200AH bank I will recommend the grid or loop structure (not NEPA) ss expanded by NiyiOmoIyunade few months back if you don't want to use balancers.

hancock:
Hi bigrovar, welcome to Lagos....

I believe lead acid batteries are not suitable for Nigerian market due to regular power outage that can last for days/weeks forcing one to heavily discharge and re-charge the batteries
I Hope this helps...………
PS: Battery balancers appears to be the culprit in the untimely death of my previous bank. story for another day......

I thought you're one of the old members here.

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.

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.
