be like say she don do you bad thing

It's super annoying when you need the human CC (who by the way behaves almost like the bot) and all you get is the bot giving you answers you don't want

coldcandy:
Oga, this thread has been running since January 2010. Thousands of people have benefitted here and are contributing openly and anonymously. Why do u want to close it?

I've deleted my WhatsApp. It's annoying especially all those groups where everyone wants to sell you something you don't need!

ceaser:
I have never gotten to chat with AliExpress CC. Seems they are never available.

It's only that automated girlish-name robot that comes online.

Eva? Annoying bot!

Trinket:
Please has anyone been able to receive packages from AliExpress orders since March through the post office?

Yeah. Will receive two more in less than twelve hours from now.

IRAPADA:
Good morning guys, please I have 150ah agm battery I have been using with 2 180watts solar panels,is it compulsory I increase the panels to 600watts.my charge controller is 30a

If the current solar panels solves your energy needs, then there is no need to upgrade.

ceaser:
So I lost a dispute today. I filed dispute 72hrs after purchase protection expiry.

Tracking showed that item has been in transit for 126 days, and has an "expired" status on 24track and 17track apps. No information that suggests it has gotten to destination and local PO has not informed of any arrival. Items ordered earlier than this item on Cainao have arrived.

I've appealed though, and I demand they show me a screenshot of their own tracking information that showed "waiting for pick-up" status.

Wait for five days and appeal. AE is automatically handing out invalid judgement on all dispute opened after purchase protection ran out.

earthrealm:
Do you hv a dedicated china shipping thread?
Kindly post same, i checked some of your your previous posts, didnt see.

Back from another unnecessary ban.
See what i posted to ojeskys challenge then, seems it still didnt work as well..
now tell me why i was banned??

The reason for the ban is because your sentence was too LONG

ceaser:
Yes. User parameters is FULLY ADJUSTABLE. I actually have 2 of this product in service for 8 months now charging lithium packs.

That means you can set charging voltage to any voltage say 28.8 or 28.2v?

This small SCC rocks, have had two Makeskyblue for six and three years now. Both are still rocking.

ceaser:
I have forged a relationship with the postmaster in my local PO. I was able to do this by asking her to keep the change on the charges of the parcel on a number of occassion. I also call her number to make inquiries on parcels I'm expecting. In fact, she is the one that always calls me when I eventually have packages.

She has once muted the idea that she can always bring it to my doorstep for extra token, but until I have a PMB which I will officially request from the local PO, I don't plan on NIPOST home delivery yet.

She said I can own a P. O. Box for less than 10k a year. The parcels will be kept in the box at the PO for me to access. She added that a home delivery box will cost a little more.



I agree with you. Using AESS option puts shipping at around 45 USD but with the associated pain of 90 days waiting period and possible disappointment at the end of it all. Paying 20 USD extra for expedited delivery and logistics via DHL wasn't a bad idea.

That's the best way to get that "extra" service from the nice folks from the PO. My experience has been relatively A+. The delay today is not from the end service providers at the various local PO. Some of them are not happy with the slow shipping that is now the order of the day.

ceaser:
So I took delivery of the package shipped via DHL. It seems everything took one week tops.

And another good thing is that there was no customs charges. I just got there and picked up my stuff.

DHL all the way...

Can you adjust the output voltage of this SCC?

terrymason:
Please who can help with the right connection of this SPD...

I will be connecting the SPD between the PANELS and CHARGER CONTROLLER.

The problem I am having... is were will the positive and the negative wires of the panels be in the spd, and, where to connect the earth cable.

Please check picture below for easy understanding..

Kindly send a rough sketch or detailed explanation (If you can) on how to connect it... Thanks everyone...

This looks like SPD used in DC power in telecommunication. I don't think this is suitable for PV.

jmaine:
To be honest, your attack was very unnecessary.. You can express your "displeasure" without the aggression...

A brief dash to AliExpress would have shown you that the shipping cost of such models is the main albatross..

The lowest shipping cost I saw was beyond 22k using the regular AliExpress standard shipping .over 90% of the offering attracts hefty shipping cost.. You could see an offer of 12K with about 74-150K shipping cost...

Perhaps, as a shipper like you insinuated, this is a window for you to use your expertise and ship in these "smart" models at competitive rates to break the "costly" trend.

AE whenever a goods passes 1kg and their crazy billing for shipping are like 5&6.

Can you share a picture of both ends? That may help in pointing you to the right direction.

Hmmm. I see he mentioned that briefly, meaning it's likely a possibility. I will try to post that question in his YT channel. Hope he replies quick sha.

You are better off getting answers quicker via his diyforum

ceaser:
I wonder. Is it possible to parallel two or more BMSes with similar ratings on a battery pack in order to squeeze more juice into and out of the pack, keeping in mind the C rating of course.

Has anyone thought about this?

Will Prowse has thought of that. Check out this YouTube video. You may jump to the time 4:35 to get the gist

I bought it 110k 2 years ago, as to my neighborhood I won't be surprised if they wonder how I always have bright bulbs

Lol. You'll be known as the house with bright light

Cool AVR

ojeysky:
Yes o, here is sample of what I get from PHCN, usually I just stick to 10A charging on those days or even as low as 2A. Kudos to A&E dunamis their servo stabilizer is superb

That's a beast of an AVR. How much did you acquire that 10kva? Those PHCN should just try, what is 86v? Do people in your neighborhood even use this?

iswallker:
Kerosine exploded in someone's face many years back and resulted in severe burns on her neck and body.

Gas is the safest method of cooking.

I 100% agree with you.

MartinsD12:
Gas cylinder is very dangerous and has been exploding and killing people anyhow, it's time to stop using cooking gas, get yourself a kerosene stove, for me nothing will make me use gas cylinder, rip to the lady its sad, why do gas cylinder always leak all the time killing people this thing is not safe even gas plant in nnewi explode the other time killing people there are other cases of gas plant killing people in different places in Nigeria. Gas is dangerous, boycott it totally.

To each his own. Nothing will make me use kerosene stove if I can get cooking gas. I prefer my energy clean and my eyes clear and not bombarded by smoke from kerosene stove.

nwanwaoge:
Yea ..you are right, how about this theory that if it leaks for too long, it gets to a point Where your smell sense becomes saturated and you can no longer perceive the smell To be too bad anymore...

Same thing happens when we poo..ab initio....you perceive the strong smell...all of a sudden you don’t feel bad about the smell, because you think it no longer smells much while you are still seated there...but I bet you...the next person passing close to you while you are there, is already choking and gasping for air due to what you are doing in there...

This happens in some aero planes as well.

So while she was asleep...this happened.

If you know how dangerous gas fire can be, once you perceive it. Take the cylinder outside and air out location. No matter how long a leak has lasted, it is super hard to just get used to it. At least to me I can never get used to smell of a leaking gas.

RIP young lady.

Rule of engagement with gas is not to strike a match or turn the knob (for auto light gas stove) if you smell gas. Leaking gas has a peculiar easy to identify smell. Once you perceive it, air out location and look for source of leakage. Only attempt to use when source of leak is fixed and you can no longer perceive the smell of the leaking gas. Cooking gas is quite safe to use if we only apply the basic precaution.

Safety checks include:

1) Buy premium gas regulator, yes they are sometimes twice the cost of the cheapo in the market.

2) Buy premium gas cylinder.

3) Do not overfill your gas cylinder. Buy gas from standard gas filling stations.

4) Use premium hose and check for leaks every quarter.

5) If you have space (and gas is not camp gas) make sure that the cylinder is like 2m or at least one meter away from the burner.

6) Be always aware of the smell of leaking gas, it is pungent and kind of hard to miss.



My condolences to the family and friends of the lady.

ojeysky:
My brother so I thought o....I reduced to 10A(2A was the only one a didn't try) it still didn't move, even the bypass to supply current in line mode didn't happen. Though it recognise there was AC input



The quality of utility supply we get here has made charging beyond 30A via AC a dream for me. If not for my stabilizer that supports beyond my expectations, the 120v utility that I get would have been almost useless. I keep charging at 20A but occasionally 30A when am lucky to get 150v.

Will find time to further diagnose the Gen disagreement with my 3024GK

Lucky to get 150v?
Oh my! The PHCN wants to kill your equipment. These guys don't care about their customers. Dang!

iKingsley:
maybe custom people mind the address on a package. Crazy thought but it could be true

No one really knows with these custom people.

ceaser:
Hehehehe. Abeg drop here the number of the bàbá wey do your jazz.

I just keep getting lucky. Hope the lucky streak last for a very long time.

Just picked a 2.2kg pack from FedEx shipped on 24th June. Goods been around for three days now. Just couldn't be reached as phone had issues. No custom duty...I dunno how I never appear to get one of those, not praying for one though

nazablossom:
Thanks,@the bolded.
I just received it yesterday. I have not started using it yet. I have dropped the link.

Thanks just saw it. Please can you tag whenever you do a user review?

ceaser:
Sorry. Send mail to who?

To the NIPOST customer care.

Trippledots:
Ladies and genru men!! .... My replacement 30amps, victron clone, MPPT CC from fangpusun under warranty av reach lagos oh....

Na Monday i de expect am.

No too much stories before product was sent out at no extra cost. Chai! See as body de sweet me.

Now I am tempted to buy their inverter even though I am seeing cheaper ones on AE

Nothing beats good customer service!

Fangpusun has A1 in customer service. They once replaced a charge controller after 18 months! I couldn't believe the offer. They shipped the 7kg CC free with DHL, and as luck will have it I paid no duty.

ceaser:
No pre-dispatch picture sent by seller.

If the address label was too defaced to be read, then I suppose it would also have affected the barcode scanner reading and by extension the dispatch to destination address

According to the tracking, it has reached destination address (the town in the address was written in the tracking as destination) since March. So I wonder where it's hiding.

Start sending mails then, your local PO may not know much about the package.

ceaser:
Bàbá you be savage o. see as you just enter the guy viz - "is it hard to compute?"

Some of those guys find some challenge with English language and use translator softwares to communicate. Still it can be quite annoying when it seems the communication isn't getting anywhere.

Yeah, some of the communication with them can be very frustrating. If you know how many times I've asked same question, you'll realise I'm trying so hard to remain cordial as the communication progresses.

ceaser:
Mstcheeew.

The product might have it's edge over the regulars though. But to unduly justify the price tag, dem go come dey hype it as if it's the next best thing after pounded yam.

Lol. You may be surprised to find out there's no edge, just great packaging

ceaser:
Same here, positive disposition to them NIPOST. They've been effective for some years now. Even with local in-country logistics.

Did you know that can help you (logistics) to pack your entire properties - except your house or land sha - if you're moving between cities within Nigeria? I was impressed when someone said that they did that for him at reasonable price.

Although it seems I'll be having a lost/stolen item slugged out with 'em soon. They must dig it out.

My solar DC pump.

May not be stolen. Could just be misplaced or left in one of their numerous store. This may usually happen when the address on it is not there or too torn to be read and location where it is heading identified. I'll recommend you send a mail to their customer care and see how it goes. Did your seller take a picture of the package before shipping? If yes, attach picture as evidence.
