Thanks for this, I am using a 220ah mpower tubular battery with the information

Cycle use: 14.0v - 14.6v
Standby use: 13.6v - 13.9v
Low cut: 10.8v

More explanation on this will be appreciated

Same explanation I did above applies here too. Cheers.

soladavies:
Please I have three questions for the experts in the forum
1) at what voltage is a 220ah tubular battery considered DEAD??

2) at what voltage is it expected for an inverter to beep "battery low" for the safety of the battery??

3) at what voltage is a battery considered full??

1) If it is consistently going below 10.5V at moderate load.

2) Most inverter has different cut off voltage which ranges between 10.5v to 11.5v

3) The bulk voltage (when the battery is charging rapidly to get full may be 14 to 14.5v). Meanwhile the float voltage (when the battery is considered full) may be around 13.5V

Differences in the plate construction in lead-acid batteries means that the optimum bulk charge and float charge voltage is slightly different for different batteries. So you may have to refer to your battery's specification sheet to get the appropriate voltage levels.

What if it's not there? What will I do next?

You wait. Buying from AE is often a game of patience, the more you have it the more you get your groove on.

freeman500:
Good evening guys . I ordered a cream 5th of last month, I checked today and I'm seeing this..
What should be my next line of action?

Go to your PO on Monday to pick your item.

RevoRaptor:
serious?
Then is it possible to cancel return and refund and choose only refund, since they seller have approved?

You'll spend a crazy amount of money, 26k+ , to return the goods. Even at that, most shipping couriers won't accept to do it.

WackyJ1:
Got my Edifier X5 today.

Same issue.

I went to different forums and posted for help.

Only one person on a forum helped me try to trace where the issue comes from.

I just wanted to post the results of an experiment I ran this evening.

So here are the results of the test I just ran.

I took a fourth device. A Xiaomi Redmi 9C which runs android 10.

1. I connect the Earbuds and make a call and I can't hear anything. Then I press the volume down key and I hear the ringing.

2. I switch to my Infinix Zero 6 and I make a call and I can hear the ringing. I press the volume down key and the sound stops.

3. I switch back to the Redmi 9c and repeat step 1, the voice comes back.

4. I connect to the Zinox Zpad 7 (Second device in original post) and it works. I press the volume down button and the volume up button and it still works.

5. I repeat step 2, same result.

This looks like a bug. They'll probably fix it on the next earbud.

Attention AliExpress Shoppers: Urgent Notice!

As you all know, Nigerian banks have placed a limit to the maximum amount of dollars per month we can use for international shopping at $100.

And this is causing a lot of difficulties, especially if you want to order anything above $100 on Aliexpress.com.

To solve this the only option we have is, to tell AliExpress to;
1. Enable INSTALLMENTS payment for us Nigerians on any item from $100 and above.
2. Enable "Aliexpress POCKET" for us Nigerians too, so we can accumulate dollars in there and use it to pay/shop.

They did this for Brazilians so why not us?

To make AliExpress heed, each and everyone of us must head to Aliexpress App on our phones, chat up their customer service agent, tell them to enable 1 and 2 for us in Nigeria.

Then also head to "App Suggestions" and tell them the same thing.

If up to 200 people can talk to them today about this, they will listen and help us pay in installments to get things we need all the time.

Please let's have one mind and help ourselves to shop unlimitedly on Aliexpress.com. Thank you.

In case you don't know how to get to Aliexpress customer service agent, follow the steps below;

To Chat with an Agent
1. Open Aliexpress App
2. Tap "Account".
3. Tap "Help Center"(Wait till it opens).
4. Go down, tap "Online Service".
5. Tap "Get Help" on the left
6. Tap "Payment Failed".
7. Tap "Payment Method Introduction".
8. Tap "Installment"
9. Tap "Chat with an agent now", down below.

For App Suggestions
1. Open Aliexpress App
2. Tap "Account".
3. Tap "Help Center"(Wait till it opens).
4. Tap "App Suggestions" on the middle right

See directions pictorial below.

Thank you.

I miss AliExpress pocket

Good suggestion

Calculux95:
Can speedaf be used for delivery on all packages Ali express....

And how please?

I don't know how to get Speedaf to ship your package. But if you buy things below $100, you may just get Speedaf to be the logistics of choice

ryfoz:
Hmmm wow. Thanks for this info

You are welcome

olopan:
It's quite huge,

I have being having a thorough thought on

1. Balancing capability of the Daly series
2. Getting a Rs485/CAN comm via some work around to talk to inverter
3. Also ability to tweak the SOC to do local switching of loads et cetera.

If after my research the above fail to meet requirements then the expensive batrium with active community and CAN work around could be considered

But to the Daly as a balancing compliment a Deligreen 1s balancer would be a cheap way to save cost

All is a thought in process, taking it one step at a time

Batrium is the Ferrari of BMS and will require you sell some vital organs

Valto:
wow. quite huge. 16S 300A UART R485 with bluetooth app worth over 150K. daly bms is always huge and rugged. the only downside is the low balancing amp. but that can be complimented by this 3A super Capacitor balancer

This is a beast. I guess useful for people using fairly used lifepo4 batteries, which may require such a huge balancing current.

salam12:
@mctfopt Want to delve into the world of lifepo4 in nearest future. Please what is your experience so far with JK BMS with 2A balance current.
Thinking about building bank of 16S in two units (280AH 48V config), with each string hooked on to a BMS. Plan is to parallel the string to achieve 560AH 48V config.

Well, it works. It is capable of balancing (up to 2A) I checked with a clamp meter.

Also you can set your cut off voltage (if you don't like the preset value).

Valto:
ok. the 300A daly bms, comes with inbuilt fan.

Yes, e don land sef

Stuff is huuuuuge...see 6" phone for reference.

Why?

Speedaf on the beat

Valto:
still available.

I own the JK BMS with 2A balance current. Pretty nice and versatile.

A neighbour bought the 300A Daly BMS, will arrive this week.

Entrepreneurrr:
Is it advisable buying air condition (AC) from AE?

Anyone with d experience

Lol. The shipping will cost you more than you'll pay for an air-conditioner here. It's only ok if the AC is a special type not available in Nigeria like some of those DC powered AC.

ryfoz:
How did you send it from PO to airport then China? Was it a smooth process or lots of patience, and did the seller give his address for the Post Office to know where it's going?

Shipping via post is not as cheap as it was when I used it last. Last week that I shipped back an item, it was an electronic weighing less than 300g. The regular registered post said I should pay ₦14,000. EMS bill came to about ₦26,000. But after deliberation. I decided to use DHL, though costlier but it got to China in a week.

But the last time I used regular post, it took about a month plus to reach China. Also it was cheap then (below ₦7,000), just before their June 1st 2021 NIPOST tariff increment.

Of course you'll discuss with the seller and they'll give you their postal address in China before you ship.

twicenoni:
Well have been using a local agent for like 5yrs now and they have never failed me. Because have bought a market worth over 500k from Alibaba and ask them to send it to my local forwarder in China mainland and in under 4 weeks I got all my items. Well it's everyone choice , use who you are comfortable with

I do use third party shipper too. But I won't recommend any of em as their services are mostly not that great.

This is just because we still lack cheaper shipping for heavy goods (from 10kg to 200kg) via AE or Alibaba

twicenoni:
First, AE takes time so I particularly don't like it and at times it's almost the same amount with the local agents too and if u use AE at times your item might not get here completely or few might be damage before it get to you sef

Well, after more than 400+ items received, I'm yet to see any of my items get lost. The few (less than five) that tracking showed item did not leave China, I got full refund.

Third party agents are ok (if you see genuine ones) but remember that they don't offer any escrow, if your goods get lost you run the risk of not being refunded or even for unknown third party guys to outrightly not deliver, after all if they don't deliver what will you do? Go to China and arrest 'em?

As for AE goods taking time to get here, I've had a third party shipper last year ship goods for me in April and goods got to me in November. These are goods worth six figures, at a time I wrote it off as goods forever lost. This is logistics, anything can happen.

Finally, third party shipping is ok if you find an ok shipper, but you can't make it appear as if it is not without risks.

twicenoni:
Why are you guys using an aliexpress shipping agent? It will take long before you get your item when you can use Nigeria agent to send your item to Nigeria fast under 1 week for none battery or Bluetooth items. At least I still know like 3 trusted Nigerian agent that are in China and have office at ikeja and ajao estate

Ehmmmm...first reason people use AE shipping is that it comes with escrow...do the "trusted" shippers offer same too?

Secondly, pricing. How cheap do these agents ship? As you already know AE shipping is often cheaper than any other methods employed especially for goods below 2kg.

ryfoz:
Who has returned an item back to China before, that was not working properly?

Pls I just need the help

I have.

BryanWyatt:
What determines which Aliexpress order will be handled by Speedaf or Nipost? Or random things

I can't really say. All I know is my tracking number for the package delivered starts with NG...

AliExpress has notified me of another package with tracking number starting with NG to be delivered soon...NIPOST is yet to call, so I guess I'll be getting a call from the Speedaf peeps

dukeo:
How are they doing this?

Instead of NIPOST handling this, Speedaf now does. Does this not reduce NIPOST's workload?

Lixusheng:
I told Nipost pple in Warri here about the development.. Them halla sey revenue go drop. Its so funny dey dont even knw whats happening in the country. NIPOST IS USELESS I SWEAR

What did they ever use the revenue they generated over the years for?

I'm always sad when I pay tax or duty as it appears you are wasting money as it is never put to use for anything that'll benefit the public. It's just like contributing money that'll be embezzled by the next top guy that comes along.

Lixusheng:
Nipost na bastard... D hungry wey go beat dem dis period eh

They are reducing NIPOST workload. Let's see if it'll make em more efficient and stop billing people unnecessarily in the name of their useless duty

toluxa1:
Oga o, is this not even more expensive than Battle Born?

It's made in the USA

Dam5reey:
What to get into Lifepo4 cells with budget I have this 8 cells used as back up for 4 weeks, 105ah

You can customize to 12.8V 210Ah or 25.6V 105ah..

+2348132394478

25k per cell (DIY Busbars and screws included) - slightly negotiable

Nicely top balanced. Me likey

A package I bought on 13th June was delivered today to my home by Speedaf with no dime paid! Speedaf is changing this game!

Total days between order and delivery: 17 days

This is good!

Any one know of the cheapest way to send a package (electronics) weighing less than 300g from Nigeria to China?

feflo:
It's my first time using Kartel, my supplier said they have a service center somewhere in Lagos. Personally, I would have gone for local but three phase is not available locally. So far, it's been performing and the Chinese Engineers that installed the equipment said its okay. I'm still monitoring it closely.
Thanks

That's awesome. A good three phase inverter with a good AVR hardly gives any issues.

litaninja:
I have not yet carried out a capacity test, maybe later in the week, i'd just turn of my Grid and solar input, then go from full charge and see how much energy the inverter records as output over the course of the day.
I'm currently using Bulk charging at 28.2v, Float at 27.2v, Max Charging Current at 40Amps, Equalization turned off on the MPP Solar. Any recommendations to improve on the settings are welcome biko.
I would have taken it apart just to see the insides, but the whole thing is riveted! , I'm sure this is to prevent warranty issues as well. Lmao.

From the ventilation silts, it appears it may be a Daly BMS inside it, although they seem to have sprayed their own name on it . Worst Case, I 'd rip it apart and install a BMS of choice, but do i really need to access the BMS? Not sure so far. Afterall, I was using Lead Acid before now.
So far though, I'd say not too bad for the price of a spleen @ #425,000, with a warranty of 5 years, not too bad at all.

I'm only glad you still have your heart after this payment

I like their packaging. Wish you can push more charging current into it. I guess you can't have it all. Please update the house when you have time to run a capacity test. I like the so many ways to kill the rat now available to Nigerians in the lifepo4 space.
