Does your batteries get to float daily? What are your charging parameters?
yes batteries reads 14.3 , 14.4 daily sir (I.e whenever I use the solar panels and 13.9V when I use nepa.
Sometimes I use the two simultaneously, to quickly get full charge whenever there is nepa
Charging parameters : solar panels alone when there is no light. And both simultaneously (solar and nepa ) when there is nepa light
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Michaelondon53: 3:29pm On Feb 20, 2022
Good morning everyone. I don’t know what to say actually because i am speechless, angry and unhappy
Got these so called two (2) brand new AGM batteries in December (100ah each) 1kva psw inverter and two (2) Of fairly used 180wats solar panels connected in parallel. The batteries have NOT been giving me the value for my money... with just 1 led tv of 75wats in which i still often activated the power saving energy on the tv and also reduced the contrast and brightness of the tv to 5% which made the tv backlight so deem just in the effort to save energy. Also I have 5 led bulbs of 5 wats each with just 2 constantly on and the other 3 on at intervals and off almost immediately after usage. I also have a 12v dc standing fan which I normally turn on at lowest power speed just to save more power.

Amidst all these my strategies of minimizing power usage. What I just get from my 200ah battery in total is 5hrs on a full charge. I.e my loads include 12v dc fan at lowest speed, two 5wats bulb constantly on and the other 3 5watts bulb on at interval ( total interval bulb-on time do not exceed 45mins within the 5 hrs being supplied by the batteries. And 75 watts led tv( with energy server on and both brightness, contrast and backlight reduced plus inverter standby energy consumption which is 3% total % shown on the inverter when all this loads above are on range between 10% -12%( this is plus inverter standby every consumption inclusive).
The two batteries connected in parallel will then run for 5 hrs between hours of (8pm -1am) (which are the time I do switch on the inverter.) running from 13.1 - 12.1v or 12.0v in which I immediately switch it off so as to maintain 50% depth of discharge.

Is this normal?

Due to my curiosity, last night I disconnected one of the 100ah batteries and connected the other one just to know how long each 100ah would give. Low and behold. With that same exact load it gave me 2 hours (I.e. 10pm -1am ) battery running from ( 13.0v - 10. 9v) before the inverter came out screaming like a mad dog. The loads on the inverter read 10% (with inverter standby energy consumption inclusive)

Calculating it this should be less than 90watts of a 1kva inverter becos 1kv inverter are not properly sized they are often between 800VA and 850VA so 10 % of 850 is around 85wats to 90wats as load consumption. How come will 100ah now give me just 2hours on a full charge starting from 13.0 or 12.9

Please gurus in the house kindly help me join mouth for this matter. I swear I don tire ! You remarks-advise and troubleshooting skills would be highly appreciated. Thanks

Well both Amaron and Fullriver don't really have fakes in the market and are dependable and less costly, so I would suggest them.

Ritar is also a good brand and very available, but the fakes are all over the market.

Stay away from anything sold by Simba for now (Luminous, Genus etc.)

Also if you see any good deals, just post on the forum beforehand and people will be happy to give you there experiences with the battery brands (which to be honest is priceless advice).
Oh okay! Thanks. But what about Deka?

Why is it that when My battery discharge to 11.6V or 11.7V which is recorded on the charge controller and inverter but once I off the inverter it reverts back to 12.0V or 12.1V on the charge controller and inverter ??
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Michaelondon53: 7:54pm On Dec 26, 2021
AndroBlaze:
Like someone said above, the battery brand you bought is very suspect and more likely where your problem is coming from.

Do the load tests people have advised you to do with the bulbs and other heavy loads. Also with your setup, you shouldn't really be discharging more than 8-10 amps (96- 120 watts) an hour when not charging as that is the poverty attached to lead acid batteries (c20 rule for 200AH, thats if the battery is even rated up to C20!).

Anyone buying batteries should always have at least an independent multimeter (1k5) to be able to check voltage for yourself especially when brand new. So if you follow the above and pull 50 amps in 5hours and your setup reads less than 12v, then your battery capacity has been misrepresented. Though it would probably be best for you to separate the batteries and test individually; thus pulling 25AH in 5 hours from each battery.

To be honest, I think you should return the battery if you can still get your money back. Go for tried and trusted brands people have used on this forum.
Kindly suggest what trusted solar battery brands

Can you share more light on why you said that?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Michaelondon53: 8:27am On Dec 26, 2021
dollarnaira:
Truth being said.
If d above yellow Alimate is your battery be rest assured it might b far less dan 100A. Lets assume it is a 100amp battery. Parallel connection give 200amp which in essence it is actually 100amp at 50% DOD. Now lets say it is not fully 100A each.Hmmmm....guess my mind bro. Lastly, b rest assure that your load is not even up to the rated Watt. Only energy meter can give ur true wattage. My tv e.g is 50w but meter reads 34w. The 50w is maximum wen all settings are at maximum e.g contrast, brightness, volume etc. Your bulbs to might be higher than that. Now , add d idle consumption of 30w to the untrue 100A ba3.

My Souer 1000w inverter (msw) takes just 1.1w while my 1600w psw uses 1w idle consumption.
Good morning, Happy Boxing Day to our solar family!
The Souter 1000w inverter (msw) and 1600w pure sinewave are they transformer based inverter!

One more question! Can one combine both old fairly used batteries with new ones and parallel them together?

1000W EASun Transformerless Inverter (no charging function). Ideal for users on a budget and for keeps as rainy-day backup. Actual/Continuous power is 500w. Peak power is 1000w. Last attachment shows a test i did with the device powering a 200w yellow bulb. It powered it without breaking a sweat. Fan just made minimal noice.

Price: 27,000


CC: Michaelondon53, the second pic is the kind of test you should run on each battery. But use just a 100w bulb since your battery is only 100ah each.
Thanks once again

I use a Huastroum pure sinewave inverter. It’s a transformer based inverter. (Check picture below���) Inverter idle load is 30watts. What do you suggest I do?
One more thing, how come was the inverter dull enough to allow me use pass 50% DOD Of the batteries. I taught inverter should just cut off power or give warning when it gets to 50 %, isn’t it?

Secondly if 12.0V is the standard voltage for any battery which has gotten to 50% DOD , then the honest truth is that the two 100ah batteries connected in parallel can’t take me past 2 hours with one Tv two 5 watts bulb and one 12watts bulb then. Cos obviously I discharge them till I get 11.5v and that’s a couple of 5 hours in those loads. That’s too poor for a 200ah battery

earthrealm:
I suspect your batteries may be half dead already, are the brand new?..brand new?. top tier battery?.
has the performance always been like this?

if you have a digital voltmeter....connect a 400w to 600w on the inverter for like 2mins..and quickly use the voltmeter to read the voltage of the batteries. do this after the batteries are charged full.............
Half dead? I just bought them new!

Do you mean I should connect load between 400watts to 600watts for 2mins on my inverter?

Also how do I know the battery are fully charged.

At 7am when the sun rises.. the battery voltage starts increasing from 12v when it gets to around 1pm or 2pm the voltage on the charge controller increases to about 14.3 or 14.2. When it gets to 4:30pm -5 pm voltage on the charge controller decreases amd when it s 7pm when there is no sun the voltage is around 13.1v, 13.0v or 12.9v.

As soon as I on the inverter the battery voltage on the charge controller starts decreasing... with loads of 70watts tv, theee 5watts bulbs and one 12 watts bulb and when it gets to around 12:50am voltage drops to around 11.5V, or 11.4V
Question
1. Please is that normal☝️☝️Considering the time range?

2. What is the actual voltage for 50% DOD for a 12V deep cycle lead acid battery?

3. Is the voltage for a fully charge 12v deep cycle lead acid battery 12.9V?

First of all,
1. I have 2 mono panels rated 180watts each I.e 360watts in total
2. I use a pen charge controller
3. 3. Even though o charge well without using it, the maximum it takes me while using a 70watts Tv, two 5watts bulbs, and one 12 watts bulb on at intervals is 6hours before the charge controller reads 11.4V from 12.9V
4. Just bought the two batteries newly, altimate AGM Battery Deep cycle Lead Acid battery
5. I haven’t used it up to 7 times. Just connected it

Dishtech:
1. How many panels do you have?
2. Depending on your panel position by 5pm you may not be getting much current to charge them and if pwm charge controller.
3. Charge well without using it or with NEPA to see whether they will be difference
4. Check the battery individually whether one of the two is bad. That is why you would have used a single 12v/200AH to avoid balancing or wrong connections.

Good morning. Merry Xmas to all solar enthusiasts!!!
Please what will make a two 100AH batteries connected in parallel last less than 4 hours with load of 16% {i.e 160watts) on a 1kva inverter. Though it was up and running since morning when the sun was up and turn off by 5pm to conserve battery for usage at night when the charge controller read 12.8v.doesn’t that show that the battery is full for usage at night? Why then less than 4 hours with inverter red light blinking after 3hrs 55mins?
Also I don’t know which component is lying maybe the inverter that doesn’t know how to calculate simply or the lonton company with all their crazy nos of watts inscription on their bulbs. My inverter load last night red 16% I.e 160 watts of a 1kva with just tv of 70watts, one 12watts bulb and one 5watts bulb. Inverter took 30watts running on the battery. Calculating that should amount to

70+12+5+30= 117watts!!! Why then is the inverter reading 16% (160watts) where did the 43watts come from??�
