FEGEITOK:
I read a terrible story. forget the Tesla!


Google this headline to appreciate: "Canadian Tesla owner says automaker locked him out of his car until he pays $26,000 for new battery"

Tesla sold more than 254,000 vehicles in Q2 2022. Of course they'll be disgruntled customers. That's just how it is. I still need me a Tesla

jonescosmo:
So I vexed and upgraded everything.

But because I am aiming to go off-grid, I vexed again and bought another Felicity 5KVA Hybrid 100A inbuilt MPPT & 500v PV Input, 2pcs of Felicity 9.5KW LiFePo4, 10pcs of Felicity 540W Solar Panels (Connected in series).

I wish I can get this angry and get that Tesla I've been eyeing

Congratulations on your setup.

Moneyboyz:
Top BMS, has anyone used it around here?
Hopefully it balances this battery.

Yes.

Full suspension 26 inches * 4 inches width wheel fat tire electric bicycle / bike having top quality features from top quality brands. It is powered by a high 48V 500watts rear hub brushless gearless motor made from Bafang.

I love Bafang motors.

Your own better say na speedaf go still deliver am.

I paid for AliExpress Standard Shipping he used Caniano Shipping for special goods that's through nipost.

I'm still waiting for the order for over a month now.

I have the same issue, charged $8.71 for shipping and used Caniano Standard for Special Goods. I was so annoyed...if it ever gets lost the dude will cry. I no ever lose dispute...this is a $78 item.

warrenweste:
has there limit been increased?

I think it's even reduced to less than $20.

dejidotun2000:
Please what's Zenith's monthly limit ?

I think it's below $20. Dunno, tried to make payment of a $20 item and it didn't go through. I think it's about $16 or thereabouts. Not sure.

₦514.149/$ is now Zenith Bank's rate

Enyinne:
Thanks so much for answering and enlightening me on this solar issue. I do have minimum of 5hrs and maximum of 8hrs light a day ,which i think it can keep my fridge cold enough.
My question, will i still need 7.5kwh lithium battery if i should add panel to the mix ?
How many panels do u think i will add to it if need be ?

Thanks for answering my questions

With that hours of public supply, you can run your fridge during NEPA supply, assuming you don't have solar panels. But when you get solar panels you can run the fridge through peak sun period (10am to 3pm).

Yes, you do have need for that 7.2kwh battery even if you add solar panels. You can start off with 4 nos of 400w solar panels. Theoretically, you can charge this capacity of battery if totally depleted in 4hours 30 minutes of sunshine with this size of solar panels. You can add more for faster charging time.

Enyinne:
Finally here to seek advice on this solar installation. I hv a plan to have 3.5kva or 5kva solar to power my house. I will like a neat and compact sizing hence am looking at going for the lithium battery.
Hoping to power 55inches smart tv , 394 liter Samsung refrigerator, 7 led light , 3 rechargeable fan .
I will like to start using the solar but which comes first as i intend to start without panels but will buy the panel along the line and build up .
Pls Whats the wattage of this 2 electronic as I couldn't calculate it .

Pls i need advice on the way around this thing .

Thanks

The tv is 110w
The fridge is 120w-140w
3 rechargeable fans = 105w @ 35w each

Total load should be around 300w

3.5kva inverter can easily handle this load.

You can start with 8 nos of 3.2v 280ah or 24v 7.2kwh lithium battery.

I'll suggest you don't power the fridge more often, unless you guys have like guaranteed 5 hours/day or more of NEPA supply or you add solar panels to the mix.

I am in discussion with a mould maker on aliexpress, the mould will cost more than 3,000 dollars, weighing about 250kg. My question, which is best method to make this payment in dollar, any idea the freight cost.

You should source dollars @ blackmarket rate or try to see if you can source it via CBM rate through Form ’M’ done electronically You can contact your bank for more advise on this. But they'll ask for things like your company registration papers, Pro forma Invoice (Valid for three months from issuance date)
Insurance Certificate (Insured value should be 110% of Pro forma Invoice Naira value)
Regulatory Certificate, etc. It's not a short process.

For shipping you have to go through sea, what are the dimensions of the object? The maximum weight I've imported in China is still around 220kg and was about 2CBM. ETA was about 120 days via sea.

Also consider using Alibaba instead of AliExpress. They do it cheaper and understand international shipping more than sellers on AliExpress.

gadgetplanetng:
Some years ago I started my car and it caught fire

Why?

Trusted mechanic didn't plug in engine fuel supply hose properly after working so it disconnected during the day and poured fuel on the hot engine when I tried to start it.

I DIY most of my shit, most of our artisans and handymen are purely in it for the money. Yeah, I understand a worker gotta get paid to earn that living. But most of them just wants that - to get paid. They don't care about delivering any service.

They lack the basic attention to details, eg a vulcaniser will almost fill your tires with sand as he is repairing the tube and make a halfhearted attempt to remove the sand when replacing the tube. If you make mention of the sand in the tire, they'll tell you it's not a biggie. Or totally throw away your valve cover after pumping tire, after all who needs one after getting that right pressure?

Right pressure to most Nigerian vulcaniser = 50psi even if your tire is rated 35psi

The list is endless.

odimbannamdi:
You will notice that there are 2 inlets each for the positive and negative terminals for the PV array and battery(ies). If your cables are too large to enter one inlet at a time, you can split them.into the two provided inlets for each terminal. It works that way.

It wouldn't be so bad if you stock this

ojeysky:
This is something we could group buy on if it can fit naija human sizes(not the portable Chinese human ) ...the main challenge though still be maintenance since there won't be a service center nearby.

I've seen Americans in these rides. You know those dudes are bigger than us on the average

Biggest issue will be lack of service centre.

Eagba:
I'm not using panels cos I'm staying in a rented apartment now. but your whole system costed you how much? n I probably need inverter and battery names. thanks sir

Is there any law that restricts one from using solar panels in a rented apartment? My friends all use solar panels in a rented apartment. Also can't live in a house where the landlord has a chokehold on what I should do, as long as what I do do not negatively impact on the house.

ceaser:
I just don't know why this innoson guy has not thought of having BEVs in his lineup. Even if it is to start with a tiny car, affordable, small but with ample passenger capacity to see the adoption. I sincerely wish that with the resource and experience in his disposal, he dares that niche and start the revolution.

Yeah, I'll love a small battery powered ride like the Chinese Wuling for city runs with range under 200km

What's happening here?

Lojekunle:
This is good
I have tried to order for even 1 it's not going through everything is estimated to 23.7 dollars and card limit is 20

Maybe I'll ask the seller of I can split payment


Or what do you have other options

Chat a seller, they may reduce the product to $20; a seller just did same for me for a $23 item.

gr8gem:
Please house i need recommendation for a good earbud with anc, apex, 4mics, bt 5.2, affordable and durable with good battery life and can fit in small ear without taking off, I'll appreciate your recommendation. The last one i got tronsmart Apollo air is big for my ear and the left ear doesn't stay up to an hour and I'm going to file for dispute.

I think this one fits the bill but lacks aptX but it supports the AAC and SBC Bluetooth codecs

uche393:
I saw this on Facebook, e really shock me o.

What did the OP say that caused this?

Eidris01:
Does AliExpress now charge for adding cards. I added a new card on AliExpress, after a couple of minutes, I received a debit alert, equivalent to $1.
Is that the new normal or should that be reported?

They'll refund you.

saint2ace:
Selina has been Instrumental in our getting quality cells vis-a-vis q quality battery pack, so it's a no brainer for anybody to refer people to her.... Our people say Na good market dey sell itself...

That's good to hear. She's doing well

Obascoetubi:
outback expensive too?

Sort of costlier than most run of the mill inverter

Valto:
contact Selina Li of shenzhen deriy new energy. she can handle shipping from Shenzhen to lagos warehouse address. her price is very fair.

https://dery.m.en.alibaba.com

Selina should pay you for this special effort to get her customers.

Though nothing I like like referring people to where they'll get quality service

Well done

FireTheSun:
This Seller replaced the 4, 280Ah Cells, all the way from China, at "No Cost" to me (except the Dispatch delivery to my House) and to my surprise, even included a Letter of Apology and a beautiful, cuddly Souvenir Gift!

Some Chinese sellers are super awesome. I've had one replace a charge controller 20 months after it was sold. I just mentioned it in passing that the charge controller I bought has failed, I was hoping to get a lil discount on my next buy. The seller informed me that the charge controller is under a 2 year warranty that they will replace it. They ask that I send them video evidence and pictures, I did. Next week I got a call from DHL that I have a package. I went and it was a brand new charge controller!

This was a charge controller that I bought for nearly $400.

I can only imagine what will happen if the seller is a Nigerian

Obascoetubi:
WHAT OF VICTRON?

So many premium inverter in the market, Victron is one of them.

In no particular order these are premium makes: Schneider, Victron, Magnum, Outback, SMA, Fronius, etc.

I've seen Outback in condition that other inverters will absolute die but it didn't...

GeorgeD1:
taking it's pride of place.
it couldn't have come at a better time.

Magnum = Premium. Never seen it fail

I can only imagine the cost in naira

anonymousey:
Speaking of which, I don't think original Bose/JBL products are being sold on AliExpress. I may be wrong

You are correct, if you see the real Bose, it's often used and the price is not that cheap as the fake clones

I think I'm on a wrong thread

samnaija:
This was my first set of batteries in renewable energy. 2v 500ah. Has 6 to make 12v 500ah.
Did not know much then , used the batteries till they emptied and screamed, no solar then. Just nepa and gen . Gave me 5years.

These batteries are the bomb before lithium took over


If you have like 12nos of 2V 1500ah (you'll need 3 able bodied men to move one, lol) type especially by Gaston with inverter capable of pumping up to 100A and with commensurate load; rest assured of at least 4 years service life before issues of backup will arise

nothingzpoil:
Thanks.
But I have "Confirmed Reciept" already, should be worried?

No, you can still open dispute within 15 days of receipt confirmation.

nothingzpoil:
Hello everyone.
Please, the items I ordered arrived earlier than expected (was quiet impressed).

Problem; one of the items is not working properly.
I contacted seller but he's not responding
Sent videos and pictures of the malfunctioning state of the item .

Though, I have made a negative review of the item already out of anger, I feel cheated.

Please, I am considering opening a dispute.

Now, which will I select, "Refund and return or Refund only"?

Cc;



Thanks.

Ask for refund only. Don't return it as it is usually super expensive to do so.
