sharks776: 1. The manufacturing date on the sticker is showing October 2022. 2. Can't determine number of cycles 3. According to the seller, they are telecom batteries. 4. The guy is quoting 850k for the Huawei 48v 150ah and 750k for the 48v,100ah Cycles should be less than 400 then. Buy. |

bassdow: well I have only repaired such twice and it's been long.
it's not my line though depending on it's fault, I could fix it BUT if you willing to take the CHANCE, I could come take a look.
Things such as these interests me.
1. what part of lagos do you reside in ? 2. what is the fault ? I just DIY my way through mine. From changing brake pad to changing brake. To upgrading brake from mechanical brake to hydraulic. change of headset bearing, wheel sprocket replacement. Had to change my motor controller and couldn't get the exact replacement, had to DIY the connection. Even changed the original light for something brighter for night runs  Upgrade of original lithium ion to a bigger capacity lithium phosphate. It's pretty simple if you take out time to study it. The thing is to do it and see how it goes  |

Olamak1: You may not see it at the exact price I got it. The reason is that the cost of the cable(3M length) is $4.40 but I got 2 diffent coupons of $4.18 put together, and that reduced the check out price to $0.22.
Check it out here:

Olamak1: My brother, deriving maximum shopping benefits during aliexpress Major sales requires experience. Even with a product of less than $50, you can still get good discounts on it, sellers attitude not withstanding.
Yesterday, I got a 3m charger cable of $4 for $0.22, even when there's nothing like store discount or coupon attached.
Experience is the key factor! Free shipping? |

jboixxx: [color=#0000ff]This item isn't priced at 62 everyday! This deal was a promo offer, that's why you didn't get any form of discount for that particular deal.[/color] I bought lower than the 84 on a normal day. 11.11 is not all that bro. We have been doing 11.11 for ages on AliExpress I know when it used to be a blast. |

Sonrexx: What some peeps don't know is some sellers will increase their item price to match their selling price after the coupons and discounts has been added. But if you buy in bulk like $100+ then you'll be enjoying the black Friday, not if you're buying from $50 and below. See an example of what I meant here. Yeah, there is discount for bulk buyers.

isangjohnson: Those that are using Jbd bms, what is an average MOS Temperature of the bms while charging the battery and does it have a stopping point. I connected 150A Jbd bms to charge 48v 160ah lfp today. As the charging amp/watt was increasing, the bms MOS Temperature was increasing which is normal. At about 1800w going into the battery, I was seeing the MOS Temperature of about 36'C. Unlike my Jk bms that the MOS Temperature does not pass 32'C even when I pumped 2500w into the battery. My BMS do up to 39°C |

isangjohnson: In your opinion here, do you mean Catl is more superior than Eve? If yes, why is Eve cells more expensive than Catl cells? CATL is not superior to EVE cells, the issue is will you get the real EVE cells? Many sellers sell fake EVE cells. Better you buy an original CATL cells than a fake EVE. But if you are sure of your plug, EVE is better |

Ferdiwar: Good evening House, please who have used/worked with lithium batteries with CATL cells, or have any idea how good CATL cells are compared to EVE cells.
I'm planning on getting a 5kwh lithium battery for my setup and have 3 battery options.
1. Deye lithium battery with EVE cells. 2. Dyness lithium battery with EVE cells. 3. Nruit lithium battery with CATL cells.
The seller recommended I go with the 3 option as he said they are made with good quality cells, but I'm not familiar with CATL cells. Go for #3 since all their energy storage systems use CATL LFP cells. CATL has been in the game of LFP manufacture since 2011. CATL has a global market share of 34.8% in the production of LFP cells in the first half of 2023. This makes CATL the world's leading producer of LFP cells. |

dbshaywhy: To my professional in the house, I want to install the below akt solar power floodlight at the 4 corner of my house, to illuminate the compound and surrounding, but am concerned if this is water proof and can withstand sunlight at the long run? It is supposed to both waterproof and can handle sun too. But I'll advise you mount it in such a way that the solar panel provides shade to the light from both sun and rain. |

bassdow: There's something I want to try
Use a power pack (e.g laptop charger, Destop CPU power pack, etc), connected to a cheap PWM chargeController (I inherited one from a client which costs less than 8,000 naira) SolarPanel input port, then connect the batttery bank to it. I presume it shouuld charge. and I get to select the charging profile join.
I am yet to TRY this but theoretically, seems to work. I am sharing this for anyone who would be bold enough to try it before I do. That way, you wouldn't always be PRESSed into spending more on chargers, buying costlier inverters just so as to be able to charge your batteries.
if and when you do, abeg come tell us here Funny my neighbour used to do this. He uses two 48V Huawei's charger which he connects in series to give output of about 106v which he connects to the PV side of his MPPT charge controller to charge his 48v lithium batteries pushing around 100A into his 16nos 320AH lithium cells. He also uses one of the charger to charge his 24v batteries. So using solar charge controller that way works ..the charge controller cannot really tell which source the DC voltage is coming from ...as long as it sees PV voltage you'll get corresponding current pushed into the batteries. So I've seen it work, but not on a PWM though. But it should work there too you just have to keep an eye on the input into the PWM controller as they often don't like high voltage input. |

casualobserver: 4. Your battery is only as good as the worst cell in your pack. If there is one bad cell it will bring the whole battery down. I usually liken batteries in series to a chain links that made up a chain, if a particular link is weak, the chain is now as strong as that weakest link. Eg I remembered when one of the cells in my 16s 48v ebike'$ battery got lower than others, this lead to the bms cutting off supply to the motor when I'm riding it. This is super annoying, thankfully my BMS has Bluetooth so it was easy to fish out the rogue cell and charge it separately and we are good to go again. Battery pack is still performing wonderfully till date. |

bbally: Please do anyone have a user experience or review on this brand of inverter? I know their solar floodlight are not too bad, can't really say if it's the same with their inverter. |

durodee: I have finally resolved never ever to buy any inverter named by or produced by SOROTEC again! It is truly SORROW TEC(HNOLOGY) Sorry about your predicament, but I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the Sorrow Technology name.  The truth is I've seen more DEAD Sorotec than working ones. I thought it's just a coincidence as I haven't personally used one. |

shogbenga: Thanks @mctfopt
The total load is 4.45kw, less a/c and heater That's a big load, you'll require a lot of solar panels. |

shogbenga: Good morning gurus
Pls advise
I have a 5 kva inverter, 96 volts. I currently use 8 batteries, lead acid, with 8 solar panels, 350w each I want to increase the panels so that I can be almost off grid
Pls what quantity and size of panels do you advise I add. What make . Thanks
Cc: mctfo.pt and other great guys. Thanks The number of solar panels needed to go offgrid is dependent on the load you are running. The load is what drains the batteries. To calculate the quantity of solar panels that will recharge the batteries this load is needed. |
