icon91:
Hello guys, i'm having problem applying coupon(s) on Aliexpress, it just started recently, any coupon i apply even if its one that came out 1hr ago or any store i try to apply any coupon, it won't apply the codes for security reasons, since i started using Aliexpress, this is the first time i'm experiencing something like this, this is confusing as i've been the only one using my account since i opened it & haven't messed around with anything that might warrant security concerns, how can i fix this, there are sales going on & more to come next Month, i don't want to miss out on those great promo codes & coupons

Your help is really needed

...

You may need to hit up the customer care for em to help you on that.

I really need a 24v 105ah lithium battery DIY or something close. Valto hasn't been reachable lately. Any other reliable dealer?

Dunno of any other dealer.

emmaniche:
am looking for 3-5kwh. cant do diy though.

That will be hard to get such size especially when you can't DIY. The best you can do with that amount, if you can DIY, is 2kwh.

emmaniche:
Didnt Know Lithium batteries were so expensive. tot i wud get one with like 400 - 600k

You can, just depends on the kWh you are looking to get and if you can DIY.

Don't mind him! Instead of facing the reality, he's beating about the bush.

Myopic people won't see the reckless spending of this administration on governance, but only people importing human hair from abroad.

They won't see that, their problem is people who needs small FX to get what they need.

Adeolatunde:
House, please I need a 3.65V charger for top balancing of my lifepo4 cells. Any idea where I can get one?

There is a seller here that sells variable output voltage charger here, Valto. https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta/1131#110684591

But if you don't like the charger due to cost or availability, you can buy a normal charger and get a variable DC to DC buck converter like this type from Konga with image attached below that can take a DC input (say a normal 12v charger's output) as input with variable DC output with you can use to do top balancing

brightk:
HAS anyone patronised techland. I got the contact here on this thread a long time ago but because no recommendations i didnt use them

They are cool. You can do business with 'em.

Babalegba:
Many nigerians will be happy with this news Half of the the country will be working against this dispensation, hoping it fails and when in some years time the other lot takes over then the people of the current dispensation will work tirelessly to frustrate them as well. Aren't we intelligent
Anyway I've paused aliexpress matters for some time ,I cannot be giving someone a goat to receive a chicken. There is no value in the current FX rates

This dispensation are clueless. Their knee jerk reaction to governance will continue to push this naira until it's ₦4000/$. I'll be happy to be proven wrong.

Olamak1:
Could even go higher!
Almost ₦1,500/$ already!

I won't be surprised. Naira is on a free fall. Don't see anything stopping it any time soon. We just gotta brace for that unending drop in value.

Gentlemen, brace for $1 = ₦2000 this year. We are surely heading there.

Good day boses
I just installed this 12v 2kva Sms sunmate Hybrid inverter. Owner has a cheat freezer of 105w. My concern now is, the inverter couldn't power the freezer even while all other loads are off.
I know freezer has an higher startup current, i just thought the 2kva will be enough to power it.

My question is, what size of inverter will be recomendable for that size of freezer?

That SMS inverter must be seriously overrated not to handle this load. I once ran a Scan Frost freezer (non inverter type) of 150w on a 1.5kva 24v Luminous inverter (on four nos 200ah lead acid batteries). Noticed the starting surge is like 6x the freezer's wattage rating as it hits a momentary 800w as it the compressor starts.

If the inverter ain't the culprit, you may consider the battery next. If the battery ain't ok or enough, the startup surge may drop the battery below the inverter's low voltage disconnect.

kristien4:
Get thermocool instead...hisense inverter Ac is not inverter enough...

Can you share more on this?

Hisense inverter AC currently retails for between 280k to 300k. Dunno the range for Thermocool.

Bosses in the house I hail oo
Pls I bought some items from Aliexpress and after i recieve it,there are complains on the items ,so i message the seller,he said i should send them back so he can send another one. So i want to know if this is right and if yes,how do I go about it.

Open dispute. If the resolution is to send items back (which is often a very expensive adventure) then do it. I only encourage people to send very expensive items back. Eg if I bought any item less than $30, I'll rather reach an agreement with seller for a partial refund rather than to send it back. When you get to FedEx and see cost of sending an item to China is ₦40k (base cost for very light package), you just gotta find another way.

Tickles001:
Has anyone here successfully bought anything from Alibaba. Does it work like AliExpress where you just pay and and wait to receive you item?

Yes, loads of times I've done this. But you'll have to do some work.

odimbannamdi:
Not at all

Chat up their customer care

odimbannamdi:
Please does anyone know why Alibaba disabled all my payment options (Card, PayPal, etc) except the Wire transfer option for security reasons?

Why is that so and does anyone know of a way to walk around it?

Was any of your payment transactions flagged or something?

Olamak1:
Calls for concern!

From the look of things, If something urgent is not done to checkmate it, the rate will hit 2k before the end of 2024.

It'll surely get there even before end. At this rate it's climbing , we'll see a ₦2k $1

$ is jetting to ₦1500 and the so-called leaders are busy doing photo ops and playing politics. Ok.

All the guys complaining of the reasons mentioned why Yohako lithium batteries is shìt, SHOULD NOT TALK, they should SHOW us by doing a rebuttal video. If they can't they should shut the fùck up!

EduTechTainMent:
Are these labels those of original trina panels?
The asking price is 55k.
What's your take on the is guys?

It looks, to my untrained eyes, as if there was another label there that was removed to place this Trina label. Also, the label appears to be older than the solar panel. I may entirely be mistaken, just making assumptions based on what I could see in this picture.

Juror:
Why do you say so? I believe it takes some measurements, are the measurements wrong ?

It does take measurements of say battery voltage which you can get from any voltage meter. But it doesn't really tell you accurately if a battery is weak or not

Jefferyzz:
It depends on the variant you buy. The first one is original too. The fake dey too but the edges are sharp not curve, the sticker looks like say nah blade dem take cut am. And if by chance u see curve edge with bubbles under it too. Most likely fake. Save ursef the stress n buy from fouani, gennex n other accredited sellers

That bubbles na dead giveaway.

ewizard1:
IMO, Grade A cells aren't accessible to random end users.

sellers ain't lying. just pushing my luck

Mrcalxy:
Good day house!

Please my Phone order has been stuck in transit for long.

It’s the only Nov 11 shipment that hasn’t arrived. Nov 24 items arrived before 2023 ended.

Any hope this will still arrive?

Thanks

I have an item purchased before 11-11 that is yet to get here. There is still hope.

This is felicity battery as well using old cells

Currently fighting with my Chinese battery supplier because he has only Grade B cells. So my people be buying Grade D cells in Naija

sharks776:
Something happened about an hour ago where I went to buy felicity inverter at Garki modern market, Abuja for those that are familiar with the place.

A man came to buy felicity lead acid battery 12v 200ah. He needed 2pcs for 24v system. He came with a battery tester exactly like the one shown below. The shop attendant brought two new batteries but after the test, one showed "good battery" while the second one showed "replace battery". The customer rejected the second battery and demanded a replacement which caused an exchange of words btw the shop and the customer as the shop owner refused replacing the second battery.

My question is has anyone here ever used this battery tester and how reliable is it

I have this tester, and I can confidently tell you it ain't reliable.

ttori:
Hi guys, is it true orders on free shipping are not available for tracking?

Some can be tracked in China and can't be tracked when it enters Nigeria, some can't be tracked from China till Nigeria.

Tracking often ain't guaranteed
