He did not believe VW Group owns the Buggati and Lambo brand. It was very surprising for him.
Ordinary Google could have saved him, instead he

Thanks. The car is still at the mechanic at lekki phase 1, around maruwa round about. He said, I should give him today and tomorrow to check out other things

Pls change mechanic asap; even if he gets it running eventually;
car would have suffered other setbacks that would
get exposed sooner or later.

Have that vehicle scanned . . .
Or looked at by a professional . . .
If no codes are thrown, the engineer will try to simulate the condition; that would make the codes pop
if that still doesn't work, then the problem will be fixed by elimination

Quanta vs Long AGM batteries - any mid to long term user reviews please? Or any known FORs or AGAINSTs?

I am about to make some significant commitments and would appreciate any insight or comments....

They both have their strong and weak points.
This is why the life expectancy in Nigeria is pegged somewhere around 55 according to WHO.
Why? Because we worry over trivial issues.
Be it Long or Quanta, without proper management, they will both die.
With proper management, they will last a while. C'est finis.

You're right but not entirely so. I was going to point out other things related to electrocution but they're way off-topic. Those who know me in real life would tell you I'm pretty well positioned to give advice on this but would demur at this point.
There is however a very important characteristic of the waveforms which make one of them more likely to kill, asides the current delivered or the voltage at which it is driven. And you'd mentioned it already.

I called datacomm and the feedback they gave was that Voltron input range for 12kva is 140v to 220v. I have never seen such a small band so I went for 10kva A&E instead which has 80v to 270v. I hope it will be sufficient for my load.

The 80 - 270 is nice...
If "NEPA" isn't delivering 220-240; then rest assured they are delivering 80V

. . .

I'm not really contributing. Just wanna point out a few things.. . . Unless tangled in cables or otherwise firmly grasping a live wire/device, 180VAC is unlikely to kill an adult. 180VDC almost certainly will. Have you considered the cost of the necessary accessories for grounding and fault protection?

This is very false. Electricity be it, AC or DC above a certain voltage will kill you. While it is the current that kills and not voltage, but after a certain voltage there is enough propensity to deliver the current.
A 12V battery practically does no harm when you short-circuit the terminals with your bare hands, because 12V is too small too push the current.
But touching a 240V outlet will zap you, because there is now enough potential difference( 240 live and 0v groun) to push the current.
120VAC will do more harm than 120VDC. They will both dissipate the same amount of power in a resistive circuit, however, in an AC circuit, 120VAC is not the peak voltage. Due to RMS, the peak of 120VAC is somewhere around 170VAC and the peak of 240VAC is somewhere around 365VAC. So you see for the same amount of power, the AC has the propensity to deliver far more instantaneous current due to RMS peaking.
Also, the human body can resist DC much better than AC. The human body has both capacitance and resistance. As current oscillates, a capacitor (now the human body) is less inclined to slow it down. DC doesn't oscillate at all, thus more inclination to slow down the current, This leads to high Impedance.
AC on the other hand oscillates rapidly, so the Impedance is very low, which means lower resistance, and more current can travel through you. This is why even 80VAC will zap you, whereas 80VDC, might sting you.
Finally, VAC causes heart fibrillation. Since we know that AC is always oscillating, when it reaches the hearts, it f*cks with the muscles, making them move out of rhythm. This is called fibrillation. DC doesn't oscillate, so it if unluckily reaches the heart, it just stops the heart.
And a fibrillated heart poses great danger than a stopped heart.
The most important thing is that both will kill you if the voltage is high enough to drive current through your body and depending on the point of entry (contact). But the AC has more potential to kill, pound for pound.
And this was the argument point for Mr Edison in his fight against Nikola Tesla and yes he was right . . .

^^^^ u for kukuma use one full page for advert mr kiekie aka MrsDaniel.

I remember quite early this year. I raised a very strong objection towards spamming the thread with adverts and the rest of the "solar' caucus turned a blind eye to my posts {complaints}. I was so pissed, I had to copy another marketer's ads (zeestone) and was posting it in quick succession, spamming the thread rather rapidly.
And Kiekie (who I had the complaint against) would continue to post, and I would not relent either, I wasn't marketing for zeestone99; I just wanted to show that if we continued, there would be practically nothing to read except ads. This isnt Craigslist or eBay.
I gave up after a while.

Look at where we are now.

I am a DIY solar installation enthusiast, I have been a able to successfully executed over 8 projects, but having come close to install 20 panels of 325watts 30v to a luminous 10kva 180v. How are the solar panels connected to achieve 180v output.?

This question is seriously flawed. A lot of things are confusing about it.
You have 20x 325 W; 30V on the roof trying to achieve 180V ouput to an 10kv inverter.
What happened to our lovely brother, int the middle, the charge controller huh

The last time I checked, the panels on the roof are arranged in specs with the charge controller; and not the battery or inverter.
The "amount" of panels (emphasis on the word, amount) is chosen in accordance with how large the battery bank is.
The inverter does not run off the panels. Except in the microinverter world. Another league of its own.
Hell yeah, if each panel has a VOC of 30v (which i doubt); You could as well, string 6 panels in series and get 180V yeah; then parallel another 6 twice, to make a 6 by 3 config, with 2 panels being redundant.
Try this and blow up the charge controller . . Except it is rated to handle 180V of VOC.
You wanna use multiple charge controllers, then you gotta split the array too . .

Well, what do I know? Too much Netflix these days have gotten me quite solar-rusty.

So you should perhaps rephrase your question again or wait for the other gurus to come help both of us out.

Pretty small unless the roof was built with
substandard materials. 5 average men of 80kg weight is 400kg. Are you saying 5 men standing on the roof will damage it? They can stand for eternity. A man standing on the roof puts more pressure than an equally weighted panel. Force over area = pressure .

TLDR: Take your mind off it .

LOL

I have witnessed this firsthand. When my brother bought his Celtel simcard back then.
We accidentally found out we could send unlimited text messages and not get charged; as against calls.
My brother became the "text-message sender" for the whole community and it went on for months.
Until somebody like this, bought a Celtel sim too, sent a text message and got charged
then called Celtel and gave out my brother's number lol.
That was the end. He later confessed to it . . .
I always laugh whenever I remember.

Just brought price up as a factor. However, this is Nigeria where we don't have the middle class anymore. It's either you're poor or rich. So, dint mind folks here who do not own a recent model of mb.
That said, the topic still remains "Mercedes-Benz thread". So mb of antiquities are welcomed na.
Lol.

Hmmn, I understand where you are coming from.
With that being said, just to point out that if anybody does need schematics, diagrams and repair manuals or part catalogs for any Benz ever made or will be made in future, lol, just quote me.
Thank you.
