Lamborghini Trattori is an Italian tractor manufacturer. It was founded in 1948 in Cento by Ferruccio Lamborghini, who later went on to establish Lamborghini Automobili which manufactures luxury automobiles.

because the car would become his which the owner may not be happy about, "the car owner" is a suspect, and only a suspect ofcourse until proven otherwise.
Just that in Nigeria a suspect actually sounds like the convict.

First suspect "Owner of the car"
Does this make sense to you? Stop reasoning like the typical Nigerian police. Why will the owner of the car want him dead now that he is about to finish payment? The best line of inquiry will be to check his call logs for that day. Everyone that called him that day is a suspect. Their daily activities checked and phone location data can always be verified from the network log.

CelebritiesRe: Sugabelly Says That Pete Edochie Is A Bad Actor. Nigerians Blast Her by mctfopt: 1:02pm On Nov 06, 2019
generationz:

She's kinda right in a way.

Pete edochie is a stereotyped actor.

Once you see him you know what he's going to be doing.

Kinda makes a person too comfortable. Plus he knows that he will always get roles as the Grandaddy of Nollywood.

I dont have to mention how Joke silver and Olu Jacobs bore me with all the accents. *eyeroll*


If anything I'd choose Chiwetel Agu and Patience ozokwor, Even Onyeka Onwenu.


But that's just me.

My favourite actor Leonardo DiCaprio is one man that can never be put in a box. Never. You never know what to expect with his movies. That's why he has played so many biographies and brought famous books to life.
I agree with you on Pete being typecast, and Leonardo being hard to figure. From lover boy in Titanic, to a con man in Catch Me If You Can, to a mercenary for hire in Blood Diamond to a crazy guy in Shutter Island. Dude is just a great actor not your typical typecasting usually done for Pete. In Pete's defence, his age leaves very little to type of roles he may get. He is the father figure and often chief or rich man. Lol.

I want to calculate DC cable size from module to CC and from CC to Batt. and from Batt. to Inverter. Thank you!
See what will determine the cable sizing, the configuration of the panels, and the distance of the solar panels to the CC. For instance, if you are connecting all 30 PVs in series from a distance less than 10m, you can comfortably run it with a 6mm² cable; reason is simple, high voltage with low current (same reasons power transmission cables are not so big). But if you are connecting it say in 5S 6P (5 in series and 6 parallel) we will be looking at cable sizes from 16mm² and above; as the voltage will be lower with corresponding high current due to the increased current as a result of the parallel connection.

This online calculator may give you an idea.

Both batteries are reading 2.12v on voltmeter i got

Time to try to charge it parallel with a working system. Find a friend with a working system. Turn off the friend's inverter and connect your battery in parallel with theirs. You may require the services of a sort of expert to pull this off. After some minutes, say 30 minutes of charging. Disconnect your battery and measure it. If the voltage rises to about 8v or so and stays there, you may just have a working system. But if it didn't, you may just have to get a new battery. I have once used this system to revive a battery reading 0.5v and 1v etc. But sometimes the batteries will refuse to retain any voltage in them after this stunt. By then, you just don't have any choice but to sell it as scrap and get a new one. It's a tough pill to swallow, but then there is some lesson to be taken off that experience.

Check the diagram attached; a very rough hastily sketched diagram grin but at least it may give you an idea of the connection in parallel. Please mind the polarity of the batteries while doing this, hence the need of an expert or someone who knows about battery connection. This is just to give you an idea. Cheers.

can i use a UPS as dumb charger? if not where can i get a dumb charger please
First, I think it is better you find out the voltage of the battery. There are very cheap meters out there that can do that. To answer your question, the UPS can not function as the dumb charger. When you find out the voltage, the best option is to try to charge the battery in parallel with another healthy battery. This is just a 50-50 affair as your batteries may be irredeemable at this stage. But you can't be sure unless you've tried all the options available.

Thanks, pics below
Most smart inverter chargers will not charge batteries that are below 10v. You can only charge the battery via a not-so-smart charger a.k.a dumb charger or by connecting it in parallel with another battery charging via an inverter.
But first you'll require to find out the true state of things via measuring the voltage of the said battery. You may need to disconnect the battery from the inverter to prevent further drain of the little juice remainder in it.

After years of experimentation at his workshop in the Cornish village of Callington, Jackson's eureka moment came when he developed a new formula for the electrolyte that was neither poisonous nor caustic.

'I've drunk it when demonstrating it to investors, so I can attest to the fact that it's harmless,' Jackson says.

SolnergyPower:
BTW, how did you arrive at 35A @80%eff?
I guess since the 150w by 4 = 600w, at 80% efficiency, i.e 80% of 600w, we have 480w.

Given that the system is 12v, at bulk charging stage you should have around 14.2v for gel battery. Therefore using the Ohms law, current (I) = 480w÷14.2v = 33.80A which I guess got approximated to 35A

Edit: my bad, someone already answered it. grin

Given the enclosed specs, can I connect the panel to the battery via the controller? I ask because battery is 12v, controller is 12/24v and panel is 18v. I know battery and controller are compatible but panel?
My question:

1.If a controller says 12v/24v, does it mean it can take voltages that are between 12 volts and 24volts(thus take 18volts) or it means it will only take either 12volts or 24volts. Thanks.

Picture is Panel specs and PWM controller(40a)specs.
The PV Vmp is 17.5v, you are good to go. Most PWM can take up to Vmp of 24v for a 12v battery system. The PV opencircuit voltage does not necessarily have to match 12v or 24v for either of the two.

No. Bolt was a sprinter, not a marathoner.

What does the pacemaker do for him with regard to completing the feat?
For optimum performance on a long distance run in a flat terrain, each runner needs to follow their own optimum pace as opposed to a fluctuating pace. Randomly fluctuating pace consumes more energy for the same finish time. Keeping awareness of the current pace at any given point consumes mental energy which could be spent elsewhere. The relatively easiest method of sticking to a known pace is to follow a runner who is known or expected to concentrate on a specific pace known in advance

Luminous is a good rugged Indian inverter. The only downside is the low charging current (~13 to 15A) which shouldn't be much of an issue since the battery you have is 150ah.

but the cable in question is still pure copper, but the flex copper (the type used in DC wiring).

You can use that. Just make sure you use the right size.
