Still the guy dey yearn nonsense.

sofiscatedmoron: Payments on aliecpress is not a personal stuff, u have to follow the official processes ,,, Instead of asking for link for split payments You can split payment. Sellers too can reduce price (just for you) on items. I just think the person @ceaser is chatting is not good in understanding English or just copying and pasting responses. |

ojeysky: Actually since it's 12.8v norminal, it will be 3.584KWH assuming all the juice is squeezed out That's even better  |

ojeysky: Anyone interested in this 12v 280AH bundle package should reach out to me:
Here is what you get: - 4x280AH cells - Adjustable 2-40A, 11-16v lithium charger - 35A smart BMS with Bluetooth monitoring - Connection bus bars (3 pieces) - 4s balancer
Price 350k
Fwiw, it's some of the cells that I use personally and I have not confirmed actual capacity. This is good. A cheap 3.36KWH full system. All you need now is an inverter to get the show on the road. |

ojeysky: It may still be bearable If that ended up with good pleasantries to customer and complete receipt of goods. Even @justcallmenuel got a little taste of the agent when he wanted to assist with receipt of goods. Just be mindful of this should incase you want to use the same agent but like I said my experience may be different. Yeah, most Nigerian business forget that good reviews as a result of great services rendered will get them more customers. Sadly, most think business is a one off transaction. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 8:57am On Oct 01, 2020 |
ojeysky: My brother maybe my experience will be different from yours so let's just leave it at that. Some of the agents do take people's time for granted. That's why I don't recommend any. One still have a friend's package enroute 170+ days. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 7:44am On Oct 01, 2020 |
ojeysky: Yeah that would make sense especially for sea, myself and @Valto actually ordered together, though I will never use the agent again.
As to why hee no buy plenty, good question but has he been able to get a buyer for the ones he bought? So the thing is that it's not attractive to invest so much in lithium and there is no serious buyers on ground. Our people just dey waka pass may God bless our hustle o What did the agent do? |

odimbannamdi: Hello Boss,
I am shopping for this item presently. However, i noticed that most of the ones on AE and Jumia are in mili values, e.g, mA, mAh and Wh, as opposed to yours that is A, Ah and kWh respectively. I am guessing it would still work as yours, only that i would just need to multiply or divide by 100, yea?
Also, i noticed they come in A rating. I have seen one of 50A, 100A and even 300A. I remember the P=IV formular from my Physics lessons, where P is power, I is current and V is volts. Relating them, i am guessing that the more A rating the device has, the more the watt loads it can read without going dysfunctional. Am i in correct? Should i base my final buying decision on the basis of high A rating?
Kindly advise
Thanks! Buy the highest rating, at least you can't go wrong with higher rating. Also I think the mAh is just picture. |

Omachona: Good afternoon house. Please I am using car battery and I want to ask the following questions.
1. Can I charge the battery to 14 volts or what voltage should I stop?
2. Under load, at what voltage should I disconnect the battery? Check the battery specification sheet to find out how much voltage you can charge the batteries to. Your inverter should be able to cut off the battery if it drains to the cut off point. Ideally you are not supposed to use a car battery to power up inverter. But if one has a car battery and is not using it for any other thing, then you just gotta use it for this. |

SoftHeart: Thanks Sir. So I asked some questions from the man as advised by @ceaser and I got the following information from him.
Brand: Soccer Power Inverter
Type: 2.5KVA Pure Sine Wave Inverter
Battery: Altimate Agm 200Ah, 12VDC High Quality. 2 batteries.
Panel: 2 panels (280W)
Are you going to use MPPT charge controller? No. I will use PWM Charge Controller The MPPT is meant for multiple solar panels, like 16panels, While the PWM is meant for 2 or more. Is this information about the charge controller correct?
Also, please what's your advice on this? Kindly contact installers here. Even if they can't make it to your location. Even if it involves paying a fee, some of them can help you get what you want. Then you can get an installer your end to do the job. My first panel was four numbers of 130w panel. I used MPPT CC. Never used a PWM CC and I wonder if I ever will. I doubt two solar panels (probably 250w or less) will be enough to charge two 12v 200ah batteries. Unless of course your load is like 50w or less. Edit: I just saw where you said the solar panel is 280w, is that the size for each or for the two panels? |

odimbannamdi: Lol...Boss, as long as na one-man installer, there is now way in hell he will agree to do that. I once asked a seller that sells battery to send me a pic of his luminous battery so that i can make some decisions, the baba was just tossing me about until he eventually jokingly told me to come to his shop and see it so that i can buy it at once. I just weak. The one man installer should be able to give you a breakdown of what you are paying for. Failure to do that means he's up to no good. Note, installation costs varies, the experts do not shy away from giving you their cost (they are experts for a reason and will deliver quality job). Eg Installer A can collect 20k for installation, while installer B will collect 50k for the same job. It does not make installer B to be the greedy person as he may plan to use more quality items to do the job. I've seen the likes of installer A use components that will surprise you, eg I saw one use a 4mm² single core aluminium cable as the battery link! Please do not engage any installer (it's your money you have the right to know how it's going to be spent ) that refuses to give you a breakdown, especially when you asked for it, as they may not even know what they are doing! |

saint2ace: Congratulations on getting Ur package, but u can still send Jumia an official mail stating Ur displeasure in the way the matter was handled.
But as a typical Nigerian u no go like the stress, so u'll just let it go..... Once again congratulations I wish Jumia review is like ALIEXPRESS review, I don't joke with review (good or bad one). I was once offered some $ for a positive review on an inferior product as an incentive. I declined and fired the seller 1-star (wish they have 0 star) for selling shìt to me. I'll write their customer care (although there is a high chance they won't do anything). At least I've done my part, it's now left for the management to follow up or not. Reviews are great for every business, both online and offline, and I don't hesitate to use all means to give it. |

omotoda: Maybe orientation.One set is on the west while one is on the east.Although my roof is almost flat so I really do not see that affecting it. Are both batteries on same state of discharge? A battery almost full will take lesser charge current. This test can only be fair if both batteries are same capacity and also at same state of discharge with PVs positioned in same location and angle. |

Technology Market › Re: Is NIPOST Deliberately Withholding Phones Ordered From Aliexpress? by mctfopt: 10:34am On Sep 20, 2020 |
I can't really fault NIPOST as my experiences with em has been generally ok. Never lost a single package, all my package that never arrived I got refunded. I've even received package 6 months after I have been refunded. Unfortunately, in most of these instances I can't reach seller as some have either closed or gone out of business. I never really understand why most AE sellers keep closing stores and I guess opening under a new name. AE must've made it very easy for this to happen.
It's been long I ordered phone off AE. But all my goods that I never received is either lost in transit or still in China. Never had issues where my items are in Nigeria (from tracking info) and didn't get to me. |

CyberEBOLA: Why didnt they swim out of the bus? A speeding bus crashes in the river, chances are the occupants must have lost consciousness. But before they could even regain it they have drowned. Most could've gotten out alive if the bus slowly rolled into the river. But judging from the number of deaths, it crashed. That's a very sad news. Their only saviour could've been if there were any bystanders that can swim, who immediately it happened rushed to the scene. But I guess no one was around, or noticed until it was too late. |

Starboi10: It is really scary. All the accessories I bought for the phone had already arrived. I'm just glad I'll be getting my money back I once bought an accessory for a phone, phone arrived before accessory. Phone was from the US and accessory from China. Phone arrived three months before accessory. Before accessory could arrive phone got stolen. One day I got a call I have an item at the PO, I rushed and it was the accessory and was told to pay ₦500 as postal fees. I just vex pay and now the accessory is just lying there and I can't even sell it as the phone is not a popular phone here (Google Pixel). These days even the accessory is lost, I just tire for shipping post covid19. |
