Hello chief, great job you have been doing.

Please I have a question
Note: I’m a DIY guy. I like to do things myself, I derive a lot of joy from doing stuffs myself

So I set up an inverter system.
2 Tubular battery 220ah connected in series
2.5kva smarten inverter.

Everything works fine but I will like to charge it with panels. So as to preserve the battery during the day

What watts and volt of panel can you recommend for me that will do the job

Note: I want to have 100% charge when the sun goes down in the evening

Thanks

Battery level dey show, though it used to intermittent with other details. But I must confess, I don't like the dull yellow mono-color interface & Only one button to press.

Just put a breaker between the battery and the inverter. 3-5k should suffice. If you will not be indoors for long, turn down the breaker switch to cut off power from the battery completely.
You are absolutely correct, the Breaker will do the job. As for the battery level. I think the battery volt is where they expect us to know the battery level because the one I have doesn’t show any thing related to battery level and it has only one button(power) also, there’s a particular section of the display that shows

Battery volt 24.6
Load 003%

I read somewhere battery can be at 11v(drained) and up to 13v(charged). I might be wrong.

I haven't really used my inverter like that. Only bought it out of box for testing once. Even with single 12v battery, it will come on, but it will not output current

So far it's connected to a battery, the light doesn't go off. Na 24v nah. So you shouldn't worry about idle consumption. If it's 12v you can be worried
I just feel a little uncomfortable to have something still on while I’m out. I could be out for days. I will just find a connector I can use to unplug the battery if I’m going out for long.

I don’t really like the product as you can’t even know your battery level. I was looking for luminous but it was too expensive then the guy persuade me to buy this smarten.

Thanks.

Go for Afriipower 2.5kva non-hybrid or Smarten 2.5kva non-hybrid or Mopower 2.5kva non-hybrid n get a Powmr MPPT controller alongside. D review i see here on low cost hybrid inverter is not palatable. Beware!
Hello chief. Please I also have the smarten 2.5kva 24v but my display light on the inverter never goes off. Even if I off the inverter the display is always on. Please is that the way it is

Let the experts weigh in on this.
But my suspicion will be on Nos 3 & 4 highlighted above. You have significantly altered the driving dynamics of the car. It's good to maintain same tire size all round.
And you should NEVER raise the car. Get an SUV if your terrain is so bad.
Concerning No 3. It was not my directive to use such, I went to an old friend who is a tire dealer and it was his idea to do it like that.

If you must alter the suspension height of your car higher to enable you drive it, pls sell it off and get an SUV.
Thanks a lot. I will remove all the rubber used in raising it and test drive again

Is your ABS and traction control on?
Have you checked if your brake pads are installed properly, and that the brake pads are the right type?
Check if your brake caliper binds on one wheel or is stuck?
Check also your lower control arm if the bushing is broken, it can cause similar problems.
If by “Is your ABS and traction control on” u mean if my abs light is on, the answer is no.

I change the 4 brake pads 3 months ago also.

Thanks I will check all that you mentioned and I will also remove the rubber they used to raise it


What is the best way to raise the car just slightly?
Car TalkRe: Tell Us Your Car Faults. Let's Assess And Fix Them by fbtowner(m): 8:12pm On Oct 18, 2023
Hi guys. Please I need some assistance. My 08 Accord kind of want to swerve off road if I brake @120km or above, if I try to slow down with brake it forcefully turn my steering making the car moving like it wants to leave the road. So if I’m @120 speed or above I will have to release the throttle then when the speeds drops to 100 I will then apply brake very slowly

I experienced this the very first time I traveled interstate with the car. And that was the only time I have traveled interstate with the car since I bought it

The only notable things I did to the car when I bought it are
1, change driver side shaft
2, change both ball joint
3, change tire from 225/50 R17 to 225/55 R17 for front and 235/55 R17 for back
4, raised the car with one black rubber

The mechanic said he will use one black rubber that will be added to the shock absorbers to raise it a little , after raising with that rubber a friend warned me that I won’t be able to travel with it because that rubber always have a bad effect when you are on high speed but he said I won’t notice anything if I’m driving around town. Now I don’t know if it’s the rubber or something else

The way it swerve is really scary especially when I am beside a trailer and I want to quickly slow down to let it go

I didn’t read all you wrote. I just saw where you said you’re 27.

The age 25-30 is a very tough stage in a man’s life. When I say tough I mean very tough. You have to hang in there and keep having hope at thesame time keep working as hard and smart as you can. You have just 3 years to cross. Stay strong

All the best.

How will you advice someone to use that heavy 20w 50 but not synthetic oil.
Na tractor he dey drive?
Go to jumia and get 5w 20, shouldn't be more than 30k. You can go for synthetic if you want, your engine will thank you.
I see that he used 5w 30, that's not bad.
The only reason you should use 20w 50 is if that's what the previous owner has been using for long, like way long.
Thanks. I will use Mobil 1 next time. I used Super 2000 5W 30 already

I would suggest you change your upstream sensor. My car's mileage has increased since yesterday when i changed my upstream sensor.
As for your oil, try to get original mobil1 , it is expensive but good value for your money.

They said Mobil 1 is 45k. Haa. That’s costly oo

Good morning Guys and thanks for all you are doing.


Please I bought a 4plug accord 2008 in June from a dealer, I want to change the engine oil now as it’s short, I didn’t get any recommendations from the dealer as he just bought and kept from the last user I guess

My mechanic is recommending hardex gold. But it’s too expensive oo, please which other one can I use or must it be hardex gold.

Also, is it advisable to change bad o2 sensor when cat converter is not present?
