I am still hopeful that I will get 'em all

UPDATE TIME

Got refunded for Item 1, Items 2 , 3 and 4 have arrived. So I'm now left with 5 items on the way. Covid19 shipping logistics era is doing well

One man's food is another man's poison.

All the "PRO" points I listed cannot be faulted in any objective review. The only complaint I have seen about them that I did not list in my "CONs" list is the claim that their cycle efficiency is lower that other Lithium flavours. My personal experience with LTO is contrary to that claim maybe because I am not running them at 10C.

For home solar storage, nobody need 10C. At 10C, the battery bank will be depleted in 6minutes! That will be a very poor design

I think the cycle efficiency is the major edge that lipo has over LTO. But all in all we cannot have it all. You win some you lose some. LTO is super cool battery. And anyone doing more than 1C in any of these batteries in a constant basis must really have a very deep pockets

NiyiOmoIyunade:
And why would anyone want to do 5C discharge in any stable application?

Call me old school or a scared old man but I use my own PylonTechs much like lead acid. Set 80% DoD cutoff on the inverter but rarely do more than 60-70% DoD because the bank is sized for some autonomy.

Only once has the BMS ever cut off or raised an alarm in like 8 months of use and that was in the early days when I was still hunting for the right settings and sweet spot.

I feel such gentle use guarantees the trouble free enjoyment of ones investment for the long term.

For peeps that love to walk on the wild side, that 5C is a prerequisite for having system such as these.

ojeysky:
O'boy see the bus bars on those cells....chai!

So you can do a 5C discharge in peace

Trippledots:
I think he is in 48v

Cool. The LTO looks so good when connected

dapsyra:
PROs:

At more than 20,000 cycles, the LTO chemistry has the longest life of all the Lithium batteries.

It can be discharged to 0v without any serious consequence. Some manufactures actually ship them out at 0v state of charge. Some of mine were at 0v when I received them.

LTO does not combust due to overcharge or any other abuse. There are a lot of LTO abuse videos on YouTube.

It can be charged and discharged at a very high 'C" rate (10C or higher). You can fully charge a LTO battery in 6minutes if you have a capable charger.

I have used mine for over two years now and I have not noticed any loss of capacity. If I consume 300Ah, it will require less than 301Ah to recharge. The cycle efficiency of mine is 99.9%.

It does not heat up during charging of discharge. It stays at room temperature 24/7.

As at today, LTO is the best battery money can buy.

CONs:

It is much more expensive than other Lithium brands

It is heavy, So, it is not very suitable for mobile application

What system voltage are you running?

Alkason:
I don't think he/she has any bad reviews about Funkam. I have a dealing with them,yet to be completed but so far I don't have any bad review about Funkam.

I will update when I have my goods.

Let the person drop it for all to see. Bad review is not really something a business person should shy away from. It helps the business know more about how to satisfy the customers. No business have only 5-star reviews, it just does not seem realistic to expect all customers to be satisfied with services rendered.

ceaser:
Hmmm. Interesting.

Was the 114v a one off occurrence then or it's a constant? Also what is the usual common voc that you read on the CC, most times less than 100v?

Can you remember the Voc of your panel?

36

Used it for like a month. Decided no need stressing the SCC. This was due to the long distance (around 35m) the idea was then to reduce power loss and run smaller diameter wire. Had to upgrade wire and decided to run the smaller voltage with inherent higher current.

obinna37:
I use NEPA and solar

It's likely the charging section has failed. You have three options:

1) Repair it by a professional or open it by yourself and look for a fuse that is open.

2) Get an external charger.

3) Forget NEPA and use only solar.

ceaser:
What was the system voltage when you had the 114v Voc?

24

obinna37:
yes,you're right

Do you use NEPA or generator to charge?

obinna37:
yes

How did you figure that it doesn't charge? Is the "CH" missing when there's power?

legendsmother:
U are very quick to reply just to make ur self seem good
Mtshewwww d day am ready to type I will drop my review for now keep doing what you do

Drop the review, good or bad, some awaiting customers may learn a thing or two.

obinna37:
Good evening my oga's,my luminous inverter ion,is supplying current, but isn't charging my batteries, what's should be the problem.

Does it supply power when power fails?

ceaser:
Thanks.

Well, yours is fangpusun. But this is PowMr. And shit just prove to me why it's not in the league of Fangpusun.

I connected the three in series. Shit can't even take in 120v Voc. It momentarily shows 117v Voc and then the charging indicator refuses to show "solar input" sign. Knowing what that could mean, I immediately shut off the DCB to prevent damage to the CC.

I then connected two panels in series and this yèyé controller picked up working. PV input at that point was 65v. To determine it wasn't just an off thing, I repeated 3s again and same scenario was replicated. Now I have put it back in 2s and one panel is redundant. I now get 450 watts, 200 watts short of the 650 watts I record on the 50 amps PWM that it replaced. Of course the PWM was on 3p.

The system is 24v.

Apparently in order to prevent damage to itself from over-Voc, shit first senses the Voc which was the 117v momentarily recorded and then it determines it it should allow solar input. That may be a desirable feature but this performance is really short of the 150v Voc specified for it.

Another reason I may still forgive this CC is if it will not replicate this nonsense in a 48v system. Perhaps if it senses the battery voltage as 48, then it can allow that 150v Voc to go thru.

In the meantime, I am sorely vexed with this thing considering the fact that I have two of it running a 24v system and this new install was actually one of two units I purchased which was delivered few days ago.

In the connection process, I also lost a solar input monitoring meter that I forgot was maxed out at 60v input spec. I just placed the 117v on it and thing smoked right away.

I may now try considering trying out the 60A version of its rival MakeSkyBlue that I have to see the performance. If it meets expectation then goodbye to PowMr and I will seriously shout out this information on the seller's store review.



By the way, your fangpusun is 12v/24v spec, right?

Once did 114 on Makeskyblue and there was no issue except for fans virtually running all through when the sun is up. Had to go down to half to voltage for cooler runnings..

RCDIY:
Do you know their rate?
I have no FBN account btw

Check out any GTB branch tomorrow and lay your complaint. If you haven't exceeds their $500/month limit, they can check if there is other limit on the account.

WHITELIGHTER:
My zenith has always been 387/dols

I'm getting a Zenith account next week for other deals. They also have lower dollar rate for other things. It appears other banks na learner when it comes to Zenith Bank and her dollar rates.

RCDIY:
My GTB card just stopped working. Can't figure out why

Try FBN.

busuyi44:
Stanbic IBTC MasterCard rate N420/$

Crazy rate. I think GTB, FBN are some of the banks still running at N390/$

Ebubemg:
Been trying to connect to an agent but it's as if it's impossible, my order since 10 of March did not arrive but aliexpress keep extending my refund, keep getting invalid wait another 10 days

The fastest way to get a human agent is to start chat with an order WITH no issue. If you chose order with issue, the system automatically assigns you a bot. So if you have other order (even if shipped today) if prompted to chose order, take that new order and you will see prompt to chat with a human agent. This is how I chat with a human bot agent

adeniranfam:
I heard you can be scammed even if you paid

You can't be scammed if you pay within Alibaba. You get scammed when you pay outside of Alibaba's buyer payment platform.

adeniranfam:
How can I be safe trading on alibaba

Just pay on Alibaba.

No...the fear of the queue, standing and delay outside bank sef dey get me.

Arrive early. Then manage the smaller crowd.

sirqeeboi:
GT master card

That's odd. Have you gone to the bank to check if there's any form of restrictions placed on the account/card?

adeniranfam:
Why is our post office delaying things like that

I don't think it's local post office issue, more than international slow shipping

HarrierJumpJet:
Please when did it appear on tracking site that it has arrived at destination country? and also when was it despatched to overseas?

See here: https://www.nairaland.com/5266068/thread-only-aliexpress-shopper/177#91490234

sirqeeboi:
This is what I have been getting over months now

MasterCard or VISA?

My 2nd May and 12th May order just landed. Picked from post office today.

sirqeeboi:
I have been trying to pay using my master card on aliecpress which is not going, I did use same card on AliExpress around mid March which worked smoothly
What could be the problem?

What failure reply do you get when the payment fails?

thormeydey:
To chat with Human Cc, ask the Chat bot same question like thrice, It will ask if you would like to chat with their Cc.....

Well, that seems to work for some people. These days what most get is the Eva, if you like ask same questions 100 times.
