Now you're scaring me

Refund is always on the table, no need to fret much.

Gucciboss:
I received object routed in 20 days.

Shipping can be confusing

You got lucky.

Olamak1:
That is not necessarily the case. 'Object routed' on Aliexpress status simply means that your item has been forwarded or directed to another destination, and from that very destination it will be sent to the final destination which is the recipient country.

Ok.

madprofthefirst:
Same thing with the phone I ordered. Its been showing "object routed" since 21/11

Once you see "object routed" you are in for some slow shipping.

CreativeWeb:
I received my orders today through Speedaf.

I ordered 7 different items on 18th November 2021.

This morning, a number called me twice and I missed the call. I called the number back, and he asked me in my tribal language if I'm at my address that I have parcel from AliExpress. I said no that I'm in another part of the city. He asked me if we can meet somewhere close to where I am. I said yes.

We met and I saw his bike written Speedaf. He was inside one restaurant like that calling everyone.

I signed the paper and took my parcel. He didn't request anything. I was touched. I asked him to follow me to my car so that I will tip him.

Ordered on 18th November. Received on 10th December.

Stress free.

This is good.

I tip hardworking peeps more than the thieving beggy beggy types

I've been to Alaba twice this week.

It seems we now have new ratings for solar panels now.

What used to be....

100W is now 150W.
200W is now 250W.
250W is now 300W

....and so on!

This is why I'm always suspicious of spec sheets attached to most things. The other day someone asked me if a cable is 240mm², told the dude I can only see they have it written 240mm² on the wire's insulation sheath. That cable may be 200mm² in real life

Valto:
lolz , u are just noticing, i bought 160w panel as 200w panels, 3yrs ago, i have to spend heavily to return it and another one month to recover my money. the reigning one now, na substandard used panels sold for dead cheap.

Some marketers are still greedy, imagine someone asking me to pay for (for an obvious unknown make) ₦37k for fairly used 250W Polycrystalline and ₦45k for 250w Monocrystalline...dude must've thought I'm a JJC. I actually asked how much come be new? Lol

abdsamad:
J think its the mate 30 pro that's making me biased. The battery is so good i often forget it needs to be charged so i don't want to go from that to something that'll easily frustrate me. 4xl may be better than 4a but opinions I've seen so far is that it's not great compared to other flagships.

I'll just jejely try a pixel only when i can afford the 6 or have spare cash to just quickly play with the 4xl without making it my daily phone

If you wait long enough the 7 will be out.

The thing is Google makes phone with highly optimised OS, I'm a current user of Google Pixel 3XL phone. My 128GB is almost filled, just had only less than 4GB remaining. Phone still as fast as it was two years ago when I bought it.

I may upgrade to 4XL as my cousin so much likes the phone and I may just hand it over

Auskyd:
Oh, don't get me wrong. The battery life is OK. Just won't carry you all thru the day with moderate usage. You'll need to charge it at least once.

Thanks a lot for this added info

Auskyd:
Lol don't buy the pixel 4XL. The battery isn't great at all. A 5 is even better if you get a good deal.

Buy a 4a instead. Cheaper, smaller and great batter life.

This view is contrary to most reviews I've seen on 4xl being the one with the better battery life.

Life is cheap in Nigeria. How much is worth a life here?

mcTrinity:
Yeah... Kindly see the attached

600 cycles at 80% DOD is pretty impressive

mcTrinity:
Hahaha.... Thanks for the review sir.

I've already gotten the data sheet from the supplier I'm getting the batteries from.

4 years is very okay and I believe it could do more years with proper management

I appreciate your feedback sir. Cheers

Did they state the number of cycles on the data sheet?

mcTrinity:
Good evening house...

Anybody here with honest review on NXT INDEX battery? How reliable is it?

And any idea of the absorption and float voltage levels? Thanks

No idea the floating or absorption voltage levels of this battery, but there's a location I've seen these batteries for years, they just keep using it until there was a fire incidence (caused by AC) that burnt the location.

It was in operation for a good 4 years before the fire, no downtime whatsoever.

So I'll say it's a good battery

This my review get as e be o

A friend that ordered a phone is having similar issue, hers was from October 7th. Tracking stopped and no more update.

This phone never got to the owner, but fortunately AliExpress refunded when dispute was opened.

I'm looking for a 1kva/1.5kva inverter that has good charging profile (preferably with onboard MPPT controller) for lifepo4 batteries. Abeg make una mention any product make wey fit do. This is needed on the interim pending when the ones bought overseas gets to Naija. Thanks y'all

Valto:
those 200ah alaba batteries sold between 80k to 120k are mostly 150ah inside.

Alaba boys. Chai

alstacs:
Not loud at all, at least compared to my Thundervolt inverter, which I don't consider too anyway. Though It's good to know that my inverter is outside, maybe it might be perceived louder if installed indoors.
Also the fan comes on intermittently and at different speeds too.

I'm sold. Thank you. This one may be indoors

zeestone99:
Yes we have unreal batteries.

I understand, but just couldn't help but see the humour in that word

Access bank rate still ₦470/$

I love me some Access Bank

Valto:
am afraid, it will not. u need atleast 1 or 2pcs of real 200ah batteries to get decent backup on those load u listed.

Lol at "real". Do we have unreal batteries

alstacs:
I just got an IPOWER 5kva hybrid, it's cheap compact and runs smooth. That thing na machine I swear in terms of how you can program charging source, supply, parameters you can view and control. It's too early however to know about ruggedness.

Thanks a lot. How loud is the cooling fan?

Valto:
smksolar high pv hybrid is better.

Thanks a lot for this input.

Dear Users, between MUST, iPower, SMK which one of these inverter make is better in terms of ruggedness, flexible user settings etc?

Olamak1:
were you really charged the above rate? The order I made today, 27/11/21, went for 470

Same ₦470/$ I was charged today.

Got my Fiil T1XS earbud. Sure lives up to the reputation.

Cool bass

Light weight with a sleek case, case very smooth which may slip off a sweaty palm if you are not mindful of it!

Wonderful mic which makes for crystal clear calls.

Pretty small esp compared to my Edifier NB2.

Very fast Bluetooth pairing.

Ability to use in both mono and stereo .

Though lacking ANC, the build makes for a great ENC experience.

I'll rate it 8/10.

adrusa:
Well, as I did on Felicity Lithium Battery, I have decided to answer my own question again.

I finally braved the odds and bought this battery, the 15Kwh version once advertised here by @justcallmanuel.

And the immediate experience is good. I charged it fully and did a capacity test. The battery can be discharged to 46V according to the instructions that came with it. However, because I was in a hurry and loaded it (AC, water pump and water heater, not simultaneously), my inverter cut off at 47.2V or thereabout after the battery has given me about 12.5Kwh/250AH. I believe that if I have the time to trickle discharge it with reasonable load, I may be able to get the rated 15Kwh/300AH from it.

I also opened up the battery to see the cells. The cells are unlike the regular cells we are family with. It is longer, twice the usual size and have positive and negative terminals on the opposing ends instead of being on only one side. My immediate thought is that it may be the cells used in electric vehicles.

The display on it is dumb. It is just a digital voltmeter connected to the battery terminals, so the SOC displayed is 100% unreliable.

The BMS is also dumb and looks like a BMS from Aliexpress, though there is no name on it for identification and it is heavily gummed down.

The whole package looks well built and I think it is a good buy at the price. It would have been very helpful if they had used a smart BMS, but I guess they have their reasons for their decisions.

Recommendation? Buy, if that is your sort of thing.

If you wouldn't mind, can you share picture of the battery inside the felicity pack?

Nice observation

In business, the businessman should take all responsibility, especially mistakes or errors incurred by subordinates. Bankers know this really well, a mistake by a teller can fire an operation manager.


Well, reputation once damaged is hard to fix. In business, always never play with that guy called reputation.

Being upfront pays too, "Bros that package I wan send get small k-leg but e go still work as new, I go reduce ₦2000 from that one. If that's a deal breaker wait till next week make I send another one that is new."
Bros may decide to deal or not to deal

I've lost money in the process of making sure rep is intact.

Rep and goodwill is worth their weight in gold in business.

He who comes into equity must come with clean hands.

I rest my case.

Dam5reey:
1M worth of advice...
At the moment there is no counterfeit of Lifepo4 cells...
In few years Alaba go dey produce their own version..

Lol. They are warming up.

bigrovar:
The charge controller (and my solar setup is in my signature) is victron 100/150. My current arraey is 335w x 9 arranged in a 3 x 3 x 3. The end PMV is about 90v.

The controller would be able to sustain a 5kw solar array (just about)

Oh, that's awesome.

Access bank is ₦470/$ today at AE

bigrovar:
My first choice remain to find the optimal part of the roof to throw all the panels (15 planned) and terminate to a single charge controller.

Which make and capacity of charge controller do you plan to use to run this?
