Engineer Femi, good day. I want to ask pls, is it good to combine a ritar slim battery of 165ah with a 100ah luminous battery. The 100 ah is not s slim battery.

It is not good and I will not advise it, the slim battery is Gel while luminous is probably a sealed lead acid battery. They have different charging requirements and rates. I can only advice you to use it for a short period pending when there will be enough funds to màke them equal.

Thanks

iamsuskay:
ok. no p

Thanks for your understanding.

Mr Femi, I need some clarification please. If one stays in a place like Portharcourt and buys this setup from you, how can you install it for the person since the person is not in Lagos? This is my challenge and of many other people. Or, is it possible for a roadside electrician to install it to the switchboard? or betterstill how can you help out in installations? Thanks a bunch

This is how it works, for sure i cannot come to a place like port because of the Installation. I'll send the setup to you for 50k. Look for a good electrician around or installer, i will be on phone with the person and together we will do the installation, that way my guarantee is assured. I've done that for a lot of people and it ended well.

Many thanks for your interest.

NB: You will bear the transport cost to your location

Inverter

2v 600amps very much available

1.5kva Safepower

Converting this 2.2kva 48vdc APC UPS for a client.

wadetaw202:
Please, I need one of these converted ups that can power a 32 inches flat screen, 2 fans, laptop, home theatre and 2 bulbs. How much will it cost and how long will it work?

A 650va APC will be okay, it produces 400w of power and the stated load is less than that. With one 100ah battery plus charger it will cost you 70k. I recommended APC because it'll power more load. With 165ah battery, it'll cost you 90k. These batteries are fairly new.

wadetaw202:
What if I want to add fridge and pressing iron, which do I go for and how much will it cost and how long will it work before it needs to be recharged?

I don't support putting pressing Iron on Inverters except of course the inverter is large enough from 5kva. The 1.5kva APC will power your fridge with other loads and it will cost 150k with 2pcs. 165ah fairly used batteries. These prices include installation.

Many thanks sir.

wadetaw202:
Please, how long can this last if I connect laptop, 32" TV, 1 standing fan, home theatre, decoder and 2 powersaver bulbs to it?

The question of how long is difficult to answer because it's a relative question. It depends on the wattage of your loads. The person I installed thàt for said he has never exhausted the battery since I installed it. PHCN has been good in his area but said he has used it for eight hours before light was restored. He used it on thesame load you stated except the home theater.

Penuelseun:
is the APS ups pure sinewave, if it is, how much is it

It's a pure sine wave and it cost 20k without charger.

oparaeke:
i use an inverter and im also currently using one of the posters product (converted ups ) which i ordered from him and i can confirm the service is 100%.

Many thanks

DUNKA:
thanks is there a 3kva and 5kva capacities? And can u use more than 2 batteries on the converted ups?

I've sold off the 3kva I converted. Yes you can use more than two batteries.

Penuelseun:
Is the ups pure sine wave coz the one I converted is not efficient as my ceiling fan & TV makes a humming noise when I power it with the ups

I don't know about the one you converted but some are pure sinewave and some are modified. Even a modified wave regular inverter will make a humming noise when powering a fan.

Thanks

DUNKA:
Just a few questions what is the reliability of the converted UPS? Any feedback from users? Lastly can the electronics in the converted ups withstand the constant cycling it would be put under since it was not meant for that kind of use? Na gode

Very reliable and feedback had been great. I've personally been using a converted UPS for about 2years and not a single hitch. In my cafe, i use a 1.5kva APC UPS to power six desktop computers and it works from 8am to 9pm everyday(except Sunday) since July last year. It also power lights, fans e.t.c.
I've lost count on how many i've supplied through out this country from Calabar to kano to owerri, Enugu, Oshogbo, Ibadan etc and i've so far not received a single complaint. I've been doing an average of two installations per week of the converted UPS in Lagos in the last two months.

Thanks

It's ready

Get the DC points for the fan and fasten it to the UPS using gum

Mark out the location of the DC fan and cut through.

Locate the buzzer and remove it.

Passing the extended cables through a hole created at the rear of the UPS. Put cable lugs at the end of the DC cables.

Extend the DC cables

I've opened it up

I'll be converting this old rugged APC inverter.
