Payment has been a big pain for me,all the cards i tried were rejected by Alibaba , the worst after sourcing for USD at the rate of 585-600 Naira to a Dollar i loaded my Domiciliary account with 2500 usd i went to the bank to make wire payment, and the Bank told me i have to get form M for my own money in My account again o i nearly weep for Naija i left the bank in anger, Since Air freight is faster and the people to handle it will handle Custom clearance i settled for that! thanks for the info but do we have dealers in Lifepo batteries where i can go to get the batteries?

Request For a USD Atm Card, You then transfer USD from your dorm account to the USD Card with you phone app to spend freely. No limit.
I use this method for Alibaba and aliexpress.

The link to your source of Batrium BMS?



60.75v. 48v inverters max out at 60v when overvoltage protection trips. So which inverter do you use that gives that more allowance?

The config I have my packs sealed in is 14s14p per box. I can see some good points in support of your 15s idea and I believe there will be space for an extra 1s in mine but then that will compromise spaces for other add ons - voltmeter, DCB, Battery terminals and fan. So maybe I will try things with 14s for now, then upgrade to 15s later.



I will need to contact you bro. Can I get the digits?

Am using MPP 5048MK, it can do 64v max, hence no issues.

What's the battery configuration you have there?

What's your nominal voltage?

Am running 15s, at 4.05v max, which is 60.75v.
Min 3.0v per cell. Which is 45v. I hardly get to the minimum.

I have 120p (230AH) running, will add another 160p(496AH).

Now this is a lithium battery I will be scared of. Let me ask people who use these "power walls" what happen if a few of these numerous batteries go bad?

Nothing to be scared of. Test your cells, use a good bms, you go to sleep.
I use batrium BMS with a shunt trip.

Where and how much are the batteries

Ring batteries From Batteryclearinghouse on eBay. Just Google. When I bought it was 30% cheaper.

I actually ensured the frequency of the generator was same with what I had set on the inverter still no luck

Simply reduce your charging current to the lowest, it will charge. Then increase it till the inverter stops charging. That is the sweet spot.

My 5048MK will never charge at 60A, with my big generator.

Luckilly, Lithium battery is not difficult to maintain. It is even easier to maintain than Lead Acid batteries. All that is required is to prevent overcharging and over-discharge. The most basic BMS is going to do that effectively. Some will help you with balancing in addition. A good charger with proper settings can also do the job.

For the tinkerers among us, monitoring is something we will like to do. It will even be better if the battery parameters can be fed into automation and data logger like Emoncms and Home Assistant. That is why I paid for some smart BMS on Aliexpress, but I'm not totally happy with it. The software is clunky and I couldn't get the smartphone app. I'm open to any advise on a smart BMS that works. I ordered ANT-BMS and I'm hoping I will be luckier with that.

Batrium has provisions for API keys, you can monitor remotely. I found out people fall back to batrium after trying several BMS.

Wow! That's a lot of lithium ion batteries!
How much did the batrium cost and where can I get to buy?

Check there website, I bought through an agent on nairaland. (This guy's that do eBay and Amazon purchases)

I think the exciting thing about this is that lithium DIY will likely take the centrestage such that people will just source for premium cells, source for premium BMSes that provide monitoring capabilities like we currently do with charge controllers, then tinker with configurations like you will with SLA batteries.

For Felicity to still be stammering about "researching" into that is disappointing. Even Bluetooth & WiFi enabled BMSes are becoming widely available that their lithium batteries by now should be communicating with their premium brands of inverters. But do they even have such capabilities in their charge controllers yet sef?

I rather do DIY than buy some of these fancy lithium packages. I first learnt about lithium on this group 10months ago and started researching and getting all the devices I needed gradually. Last week able to setup my 15s120p. 230Ah tested.
With plans for 5 rows of 15s expansion.
At least I know what am dealing with.
Covid 19 Lockdown helped sha.

I'm going to get an ntel sim, anything you think i should know about apart from location ish

1. Start with the one week unlimited plan to be sure your location has good service.

2. confirm from the sales rep. that the SIM card has been registered successfully before leaving the point of purchase. Else collect their phone number.

3. Create a new APN as ntel.

Ntel is the best for Port Harcourt, bought the SIM @SPAR, and subscribed for the 7days unlimited plan for 3750,

Yes it gave bad reports on defective batteries.
what am looking at the internal resistance of the battery, if it's close to that specified by the battery manufacturer.
earthrealm:

has it ever given a bad report on any battery?..i no pls test a known bad batt and confirm.

pls post a direct link of the one you bought, searched and am seeing watt meter, and not analyser

edit: seen.
