The reason why I asked the question is, I have a 60watts solar panel and 480watt battery. I think I can connect the solar panel directly to the battery.

I saw 2 wires black and red behind the panel so I think I can correct it directly to the battery. Am I doing something wrong?

Where is the charge controller in the equation? That's what he was pointing your attention to.

the traffic light MTN installed in makurdi was destroyed overnight in less than 2 weeks.

The area boys here thinks its slowing them down, so they went at night to destroy all the four traffic lights at night.

Our smartness is destructive in nature. In our smartness, we fail to see the big picture and only live for the moment.

The same reason why Nigerians will dupe you thinking they are smart but are failing to see the big picture.

I'm just tired of Nigeria and what we consider to be strength or wisdom

This country is toxic to sane people. If you are someone who likes doing things the right way, you will struggle to maintain your sanity every passing day.

Insanity rules!

it's in series if that means side by side connection. It's 2 pcs of 12v 200ah battery and a 2.5kva /24v prag inverter

Ok it will be around 24.2volts

queenfav:
Thanks oga, so what would be the 50% DOD for my 2 200ah battery.

Are they connected in series or parallel?

This will enable us know whether it is a 12v or 24v system.

And they were saying Mama Peace talks too much.

queenfav:
wow.This thing is confusing o.

Not really...because 50% DOD for 12v battery is around 12.1v not 6v.

Wait... I think I just made it more confusing. Ok. Bye

Sometimes, it is the buyer that wants to scam the seller.
The seller sends the goods and the buyer refuses to pay even after collecting it.

If Ghana,SA, Kenya plus Zimbabwe and Togo as substitute joined together, dem no reach naija twitter warriors, dem no reach I repeat

The only thing they have against us is our bad leaders, bad roads etc nothing else, and those things no dey pain us again,unfortunately

Nigerians know how to insult sha...
The Ghanians couldn't throw any good punch up there.

The lies that this govt tell eh, Kai...!
I have never seen a govt that has insulted the intelligence of Nigerians this much.

If I ever visit any place off the shores of this country... Then, I'm never coming back.

The Embassies in Nigeria have marked this your comment and will not make the mistake of giving you a visa.

@ Hancock, I'm also interested in the US3000 Pylontech batteries.
How many internal organs will get me 6 modules?

I think one kidney with the appendix as jara will do, but let's wait for the oga.

Please what do you guys think about battery desulphators? Any Experience with them?
Do they really improve battery life?

You are finally going to them...they are definitely going to have a very merry Christmas!

I don't know where you got that from

Desperate times calls for desperate measures. The economy is bad.

I like their courage. They were not bothered about what people will think especially in this country where people don't know how to mind their business. After all, na after the ceremony na im the marriage go begin

If you cannot afford a lavish wedding, do what is within your means. In fact, people tend to forget a wedding no matter how good it was when they attend another one the next Saturday.

No need to kill yourself in this life abeg.

Real life begins after the ceremony. Nobody will help you pay your bills, so it is wise to save for life after the ceremony

Hazardfan1:
I have contacted him, he insisted ba3 is very good.

Hmm...unless your load is more than the 60w you stated.
One of your appliances might be drawing more power than stated on the appliance/device.
Or the inverter itself is drawing a lot of power (more than the 30w I assumed)

Hazardfan1:
Ba3 is Techfine Gel 12v 100ah Deep cycle

Contact the seller and explain your observation to him and see if you can get a replacement.

Hazardfan1:
No, it gets to 14.3, 14.4v then drops to 13.5 or 13.6v

Then the battery is failing too soon.

Geeboy10:
But why the use of the word, 'alien'? It sounds insulting and informal to me...

No insult there

Ulrich01:
Same thing. Not more than 400KBps on downloads. Tried it in different locations within Abuja, same speed, even on full bar.

I am sure it is throttled to that speed.

I did enjoy it. 130GB in one week is not bad. Just the speed that is the problem. My system has been on for a week now, poor machine must have swear for me

Your system be like...

Long story

Over stay money in UAE attract 10k per day.. Let Nigeria grow stop supporting evil

What is evil here?

Have you seen how cruelly Nigerian illegal migrants are treated in many other countries?

UAE can set whatever penalties they wish, this is our own and if migrants don't like it, they should do the right thing or go away.

Thiz is not a bad idea.

If you must stay and work in the country, get your papers right.


Other countries cannot be chasing our illegal migrant brothers while illegal migrants live and work in our own country

Hazardfan1:
Through a 30amps mppt Solar charger....

It gets full pretty fast, I have a 320watts mono crystalline panel.

Once its on 14v or 13.7v thereabouts, one arrow starts to flicker on the CC

I think the charger is not charging the battery fully.
It should take the battery voltage to between 14.2-14.5v depending on the battery you have (gel, AGM, flooded).
After it has taken the voltage to that 14.5 range, the battery will get full then it will drop it to around 13.7v which is the float charge to keep the battery from self discharging.

When you plug your load on the inverter, the voltage may drop to around 12.7 which is normal. It should then take about 5 hours for it to drop to 12v using your 100ah battery and 60w load as an example.

So I think there might be a problem with charging.
Try checking the setting of your charge controller. Maybe it is set to go into float mode earlier than it should i.e at voltages lower than 14.2-14.5

Hazardfan1:
How will I be sure it's fully charged....?

How do you charge it? From the inverter or through an external charger?

Hazardfan1:
B4 it gets to 12V right? Let's say 6 hours. I out it in around past 7, b4 10, it was already on 11.9v....I read its bad to continue usage after it dropped to 12v

Yeah...it's not adviseable to use it beyond 50% which is around 12v so that you don't damage the battery.

If it's not lasting long, ensure that it's fully charged. If the issue persists, call the battery seller and see if he can replace it for you.

Hazardfan1:
Please guys, how long should a fully charged 12volts 100amps battery last with a load of 60 watts.

It was on 13.5v and in less than 3 hours, it was already on 11.9v, this is a new battery, I must add.

Inverter is 1200w.

Ideally it should run for about 8hrs before it drops to 12.1 if we are considering only the 60w load. But remember that the inverter draws some amount of power on its own while it's on.
So if we assume that it draws up to 30w, that will be about 90w total. You should still be able to get about 5.5hrs from the battery.
