Kelzuc:I've bought both screen types. The first was an OLED; unfortunately, it had a line and the fingerprint sensor did not work because OLED screen doesn't actually support it. The resolution was awesome, though. Fortunately, I was refunded. The worst is the TFT screen, even though it's the cheapest of the three. Run away from those! Then I bought the AMOLED, complete with a fingerprint sensor. But the price difference is like night and day: the AMOLED screen complete with the fingerprint sensor is 3x the price of the OLED. By the way, the AMOLED I bought has exactly the same screen resolution as the "follow come" screen because it is "follow come." This year alone I've bought two AMOLED screens because I've been careless. Hopefully, I don't ever have to buy another. ![]() |
micxwell:Just check online or if you have people in China let them source for you there. Or enter market and check kitchenware dealers. By their price, feel and build you shall know the real deal. |
NSEstudent:Well, I still prefer using gas to cook, since cooking is over in minutes ![]() |
Bryanluke:Electricity can burn down a house, too. So can the gas used for cooking. And so can the petrol that people keep in their homes to power these noisy generators. Many have died from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by keeping a generator too close to their sleeping quarters. Yet, every day, people use these things. One thing is guaranteed: if anything is misused, you stand a chance of it becoming fatal. One tablet of paracetamol is fine for that occasional headache, but if you take 20 at once, you already know what's going to happen. If you get professional to handle your installation, you'd be fine. Una president dey use one in Aso Rock...Aso Rock last time I checked is not on 🔥 |
OgogoroFreak:It's a Chinese brand, Shuanghang. Kinda popular in China jFrankNorfleet:₦87k in China. |
bassdow:There are places where you can get away with just losing money, buying a cheap pressure pot is not one of them; you may likely lose more than money ![]() |
OgogoroFreak:If you buy the cheapo. Have been using mine for more than 4 years now with no issue. Buy a good brand, don't cheap out and you are good. Recently upgraded mine this year. Same result. Don't just buy cheaply made one. The pot cover of my recent purchase weighs 1.62kg

In all you get, get yourself a good pressure pot and enjoy cooking under 20 minutes ![]() |

favouredbymercy:If the ATS transfer time is less than 20ms, which most of these ATS falls into, you don't have a problem. Eg I have one from Taxnele that has a transfer time of 8ms, my freezer doesn't restart. |
bassdow:Just a lil correction, diabetics don't monitor blood pressure what they monitor is blood glucose/sugar level. Well done. |
twinskenny:Nicely done. Love your battery busbar looks like follow come. |
bassdow:Lol. Everyone knows what that BS stood for ![]() |
dollarnaira:China has an A1 in aesthetics. They build both beautiful, awesome devices and beautiful BS. The pricing is often an indicator of which one you may be getting. |
iraybuju:Most Chinese hybrid inverter brands (especially those based on the Voltronic platform) are essentially identical under the hood, differing only in their external casings and, occasionally, their display interfaces. This happens because of ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) and OEM(Original Equipment Manufacturer) manufacturing in the inverter industry. Here's why: While the ODM factory designs AND manufactures products; other companies just rebrand them while the OEM products IP are owned by the brand who designed the inverter. ODM just manufactures the same product for different brands and change casings (in some instance) and name. Popular OEM in Europe include SMA Solar Technology (German), Victron (Netherlands), Fronius (Austria), Steca (Germany), Schneider Electric (France) In China we have Huawei Digital Power, Sungrow, Growatt, Deye, Goodwe, Sofar Solar, Solis/Ginlong, MUST Energy The US have the following: SolarEdge, Enphase Energy, OutBack Power, Magnum Energy The China-Based ODMs include Voltronic Power (Taiwan/China) - arguably the world's most prolific inverter ODM. Their Axpert platform is the engine behind an enormous number of global brands including Mecer, Kodak, Axpert, PowMr, Voltacon, Sorotec, and many others Voltronic Power & MPP Solar: Dominant Taiwanese/Chinese ODMs whose core platforms (e.g., Axpert, PIP) power numerous global and regional brands like Kodak, Mecer, and PowMr. Deye, Growatt, Sungrow, Solis, & Sofar Solar: Major OEM manufacturers that also heavily utilize ODM arrangements, supplying custom-branded units and internal components to international partners (e.g., Deye powering Sunsynk). Must Power, Luxpower, EaSun, PowMr, SRNE, & Epever: Key ODMs specializing in specific segments (like 1–5 kVA systems or MPPT controllers), with platforms widely rebranded across emerging markets, particularly Africa. |
NSEstudent:The Deye SUN-5K-SG05LP1-EU is better suited for tough environments, dusty, humid, or harsh locations, because it's more enclosed. The Deye SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 has open vents that suck in dust over time, which can damage the internal circuit board if not cleaned regularly. A standout advantage of the Deye SUN-5K-SG05LP1-EU is that it can feed surplus power back into the grid, something the Deye SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 simply cannot do. Though this feature, which is awesome outside Nigeria, is basically useless here as we no get smartgrid. The Deye SUN-5K-SG05LP1-EU also switches power faster, in just 4 milliseconds compared to the Deye SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2's 10 milliseconds, meaning appliances experience less interruption during a power switch. That said, the Deye SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 has its own strengths: it handles significantly more solar panel input (9,600W vs 6,500W), making it better for larger solar arrays. It also costs less, which can be a decisive factor for budget-conscious buyers. Bottom line: The Deye SUN-5K-SG05LP1-EU wins on environment tolerance, grid export capability, and switching speed. The Deye SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 wins on solar input capacity and price. |
Nickyblithe:Deye 6kva not a bad choice. Can handle both your AC and freezer. |
Gshems:Buy. 5k is for like 25mm |
Bankyshinani:Oh. I see. |
Bankyshinani:If your battery is full why do you want it to pull more power from the PV? |
Heemcelph:There is a reason why many don't go for these type of all-in-one systems is that in the event of failure, getting a repair is usually hard. But if you have a good after sales guarantee go for it. Luxpower is a brand I've heard of, though never personally used. The spec you going for looks good, at least on paper. You decide what you want and either go for it or not. You are the boss |
chadbasin:These are some responses from an online forum: Combining different Ah batteries in same bank Is there any issue with combining a 460 Ah LiFePO battery with a 300 Ah LiFePO battery in the same house bank? They are both Epoch batteries with the same charging requirements. leecea 03-02-2025 07:19 Re: Combining different Ah batteries in same bank I Googled your thread title and found info on the Battle Born batteries and Newpowa websites that said "no" to this. Perhaps there are ways to do it but the simple answer seems to be no. B28_Majic 03-02-2025 13:47 Re: Combining different Ah batteries in same bank Quote: Originally Posted by BozSail (Post 3969571) Is there any issue with combining a 460 Ah LiFePO battery with a 300 Ah LiFePO battery in the same house bank? They are both Epoch batteries with the same charging requirements. Do not mix two different capacity batteries, even if they are the same brand. The cycle counts of the batteries also need to be similar. If you have a 300ah Epoch for example and have had it installed on your boat for 2 years, I would not recommend adding a new 300ah epoch to that bank. If it's just a few months old (I typically say up to a year) then you are ok. BozSail 03-02-2025 14:03 Re: Combining different Ah batteries in same bank Thanks for the responses... much appreciated. wholybee 03-02-2025 14:31 Re: Combining different Ah batteries in same bank There is nothing wrong with mixing different capacity batteries of LiFePO4. Brand doesn't even matter. It mattered with Lead-Acid because one battery will work a bit harder than the other, leading to an early failure. On a battery that only is going to last a few years, that is a problem. But on LFP, how hard a battery works plays little into how long the battery will last, which will be decades anyway. Cycle count doesn't matter either, at least withing reason-5 years or so apart would be fine. What you are reading that says not to do this is old lead-acid rules and thinking being applied to new technology. s/v Jedi 03-02-2025 15:10 Re: Combining different Ah batteries in same bank Like Warren writes, the uneven use doesn’t matter much. However you should only count on maximum power output of the karger battery, without adding the smaller battery. For example if the bugger ine can do 200A max and the smaller 100A max then combined I would only count on 200A, not 300A. If the batteries are the same then you can add as they share the load equally. For capacity you still get full capacity of both summed.

On my setups, I have always kept same age and same capacity batteries in battery banks. I would think that same brand matters, not so much for life of batteries but due to different BMS fighting each other with different cutout points and protections. s/v Jedi 03-02-2025 18:42 Re: Combining different Ah batteries in same bank Quote: Originally Posted by B28_Majic (Post 3969823) Looks like I stand corrected. On my setups, I have always kept same age and same capacity batteries in battery banks. I would think that same brand matters, not so much for life of batteries but due to different BMS fighting each other with different cutout points and protections. I have tested wildly different batteries in parallel last year during a 6 month period and everything was fine. BMS’s don’t fight each ither, they are inky concerned with the cells they manage, not with other batteries. Of course there’s BMS’s that communicate with other batteries but I am against all such systems for use on boats. KISS. Is it ideal? No. Is it recommended? No. Will it work? Yes. I have a friend currently running a 7.2kwh battery with 2.4kwh in parallel. It's been weeks now, so far no issue. |
twinskenny:I guess the client is very generous. Why not ask for free installation?! ![]() |
Ezimuoh:People do it You need to see what people subject their system to out in the wild. I've seen things. Surprisingly, some works, but sadly not for long. |
There are satchet inverters out there whose rated power is what you get. It just cost higher. A friend has a 5500w type which he uses to weld. You get what you pay for.

SourYoghurt:Are these SPDs connected to earth? How good is the earth? Find attached the resistance of an "earth" in someone's house.

GeorgeD1:I love this review. Most Chinese brands, especially in Nigeria, hate the after sales service. Some even will start fighting you after two months if you have issues. Which brand did you go for now? |
twinskenny:Glad to see you are now team Deye! Nice. |
Fremlin:Buy a servo stabilizer. My old school 15kva servo stabilizer is capable of boosting 90V to 198V. Anything above 120V is straight 220V. An MVP for mad public supply of Nigeria! |
bassdow:I doubt you'd be able to get a usable phone at that price range, even if you buy in China. The only phone you can get in that range are these low quality phones which claims to have 200GB ram which is as slow as snail and heats up like a volcano.
