Wow are you serious shocked ? My Samsung fridge/freezer with dimensions 555*637*1445mm² doesn't consume upto 200w if I can remember!
Does the dimensions of the fridge contribute to the energy saving quality?

Plateau State camp is one of the best. Somebody posted pictures of it 6years ago.

I think you don't have sufficient information to arrive at that conclusion.
Kebbi state and Plateau State camp are among the best. Somebody posted pictures of Plateau state camp here 6years ago. See below

Valto:
it doesn't make sense if u are watching with external devices like DVD, dstv, gotv e.t.c. external devices wouldn't be powered once utility light is gone!
I was thinking same too.

But you can power your Gotv directly from your 12v battery. I have tried it and it works. I tried it with the new tiny decoder but it should also work for the old decoder.

If you have an android TV box, you can power it with a 12v to 5v USB converter, that is if the TV box works with 5V but if it's 12v, connect it like the Gotv.

Na the DVD be the problem. I am still looking for a DVD player with DC input but I really don't don't play DVD movies, USB ti take over.

The best still remains a DC TV in my opinion. The LG DC TV is quite good. The 26" version takes about 30W (the AC/DC adapter states 12v 3A) but I use it directly with the battery and it takes 2 hours for the 100ah AGM battery to drop from 12.8 to 12.7V.
So I can get about 12.5hrs before the battery gets to 12.1v which is my low voltage cuttoff. Although I have never gone down to 12.5v from fully charged state because there is no time to watch TV for that long at a stretch. cheesy

Note: The battery is mainly used for the TV. Gotv is powered from another battery.
The sound from the DC TV is nothing to write home about as expected for energy saving reasons so I connected the Gotv/Tvbox to a 40w rechargeable woofer. With that I don't need the TV's speakers.

Let the accusers rise to the challenge and publish the particulars of the vehicle if it indeed true.

NYSC › Re: Four Prospective Corpers Kidnapped In Katsina by eleojo23:
I have always hated night journey and I hate it more now with terrorists on the highway

I'm sure they travelled that late because they were new to the state and probably didn't know where they were going.

For those travelling from down south to the north and vice versa, it's best to plan 2 days for the journey. If possible break the journey up, sleep over at a neighbouring state.

That's what I did during my time and I arrived at the orientation camp around 11.30 in the morning a day before camp officially opened. I had enough time to rest before everyone else came.
I hate unnecessary stress abeg.

There are quite a number of options on Jiji.
Below are some I saw after typing 'Dc fan' in the search box. They have a DC port for direct to battery connection, AC/DC adapter and solar panel. You can check out some other ones too.

wow, didn't thanks bro..So how long will my battery charge fully from 50% DOD on a not so sunny day.My set up is 2pcs of 200ah battery,4 pcs of 300w solar panels and a 40a epever mppt CC.
Hmmm...this is not easy to calculate.
It's easier to calculate for sunny days as it allows you to know the best you can get from the setup.
On a very sunny day, your 4X 300w panels should give out about 32a (about 8amps for each)
50% DoD for 2×200ah is 200ah
Charge time is 200ah/32amps which is 6.25hrs.
But you can't get exactly 32a from the panels as there will be losses. So maybe 7-8hrs. This is for a sunny day.

For a not-too-sunny day, it can take longer than that but the bottom line is, you need at least 6hrs of sunlight to fully charge the batteries.

This is my opinion, the experts may have more to add.

Good morning house.Please i need clarification on these issues.
1.In times of Nepa blackout for days,do we need to turn off all load and allow the battery charge with solar?I am asking because i have seen some posts implying that battery charges faster with solar when you turn off all loads?

2.My epever charge controller and prag inverter shiws different battery levels.Eg,like yesterday on the charge controller the battery bar was showing two bars while the battery voltage was 24.7v .

On the inverter,it was showing 4 bars.Please, which is more accurate with regards to the actual battery level?
Answering your first question. Of course the battery will charge faster without loads. The load shares the power that comes from the panel with the battery so the battery only gets some but if loads are off, it's party time for the battery.
But this depends on the size of your solar array sha. If you oversize significantly the loads should have little effect on charge time.

Explain this reverse polarity pls. Fan port says 12-15v in. So I guess it will take my 12v panels. If 7ah battery serves me overnight, 40ah should serve 3 fans(7ah×3=21ah)overnight and leave for day use when/if necessary.
I am still weighing my options and seeking opinions.
I think what he means is ensure you connect positive to positive and negative to negative.

The Fuxsur start charging from a lower voltage as the battery gets full the voltage will keep increasing whe the Amp will be reducing. It stops charge at 14.8V 1.1A (Full Charge)

It charges around 13.5-13.8V between 50-75% of battery charger anything from 85% battery charge it picks up to 14.0-14.3V thats wen the Amp starts dropping 14.5-14.8V 5A- 1.1A

I think it is just best for Flooded battery i just dey sorry for my 100AH GBM Gel battery
In that case, it will be good for my AGM. I need between 14.4 to 14.8v for full charge and 13.7 for float.

But since you are using Gel, I think you need something that will stop at around 14.5v bulk and 13.5v for float.

I have this 6A charger (screenshot below) that I use for my Gel battery. It stops at around 14.5v and occasionally shows 14.6v. The float voltage is 13.5v
The gel battery seems to be enjoying the charge it gets but time will tell...although it's been 9 months now without issues.
It still charges the AGM but I needed something with higher Amps for faster charge, that's why I went for the Suoer.

i was using the inbuilt charger of Suoer SAA-1000C then i bought FoxSur 12V 8A- 24V 4A same thing on the boiling sound when it is getting full
I think that FoxSur charger also reaches 15V from reviews on AliExpress.
I am looking for a charger that stops at around 14.5-14.8V bulk and 13.5-13.8v for float.

I have found some on AliExpress but still studying the details so as not to make the same mistake again.

Ok bro, do share wen u do, i hear boiling sound on my small 100Ah wen it is almost getting full, at that point i know say the charing voltage is too high
Which charger do you use?
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eleojo23: 4:42pm On Mar 09, 2020
Penuelseun:
Did you confirm the voltage with an external meter?
Yes. I have a smaller charger with a voltmeter and I also used one of these DIY voltmeters. The bulk voltage was still over 15V and float 14V.

I could tell the AGM battery was pissed by the 14V the charger was giving it as float voltage because it was hissing considerably. grin
Hissing can't be a good thing or can it?
