Thanks for sharing your experience
How many batteries are you using connected together?
What's your max charging current?
How often do your water needs topping?
I have 2 12v connected in series, 30a charging current although sometimes can get to 35amps water topping about 3 or twice yearly because I don't usually allow the water water level indicator get to the red lower line

House abeg o!!!

I have been hearing this often and often, from your experiences here, do the tubular batteries in our markets here really last 5-8years for real?

Likes of Inverlast, Eastman and others
Help enlighten me please
I've been using mine for 4 years. Just don't discharge below 50% and I'm sure you can get 8 years easy

So how did the over voting come about? That's a serious security flaw, and puts BVAS into question

Yes, I'm communicating with it. My suspicion is that your cable is not the correct type. I had to slightly modify every cable that eventually worked. You can modify your cable as in the picture below and it should work with MPPTracker. You can see more here. https://github.com/solarsnoop/PCM60X-Monitor/blob/master/pcm60x%20mppt%203000w%20Standard%20Protocol.pdf
Thanks. I bought a rj45 to rs232 and a USB rs232 adapter(installed drivers too) yet mpptracker has refused to see my device. I just gave up and concluded felicitysolar can't 'track'

Apologies tendered. I was deceived by the way you responded.

However, do you have the EDMS? I also suspect that Felicity is basically cloning some popular brands (maybe not any more), so I have been trying to search for who they might be impersonating. Both their hybrid inverters and charge controllers were clones of MPPSolar products, so I was able to communicate with them over RS-232 using MPPSolar/Axpert softwares.
Were you able to communicate with your felicity 120a charge controller? I bought the cables but can't seem to connect to watch tower or mppt tracker software

Afternoon bosses after replacing my plugs based on the cylinder misfiring code that was showing on my car, it now works fine not until yesterday when the car decided not to kick or turn on again. At first I thought it could be battery, we had it replaced but it wasn’t the issue, and it wasn’t my key fob too. There’s also no error code on scanner but the Rewire that came to check it was saying the kick starter is faulty.

Saying I have to replace, my first question is could that be what’s wrong with it and the next is if that’s what’s wrong, please who has an Honda spare part dealer that sells the item and like how much does it go for.


Responses from the Ogas in the house would be appreciated
It's possible it's the kick starter. As some can fail without warning.

Thanks everyone for your advice.
I'll go for 10S1P configuration.
I will reconfigure and make sure it doesn't exceed 450v. Your panels can exceed Voc on some certain cold days so having them near 500v is also risky
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Namzy(m): 8:57am On Dec 14, 2022
jonescosmos:
This is the best setup for you as per the MPPT of 500V Max ooo. You had mentioned 12pcs of PVs, please make sure you aren't gonna be setting up 12s of this PVs to this system. You might fry it. If you must use up all the 12 PVs, 6s2p is the way to go.
Also max voltage is different from working voltage range. I've seen some mppt at 450v.

I told the installer that but he said the charge controller is not accurate
I use same charge controller and get over 2kw with 8*340w panels

Battery is full , so the charge controller will reduce wattage coming in from panels
The displayed voltage of 50v is not float voltage

Good morning my good people. Please I need your input on this.
I have a VW Passat cc 2012, for a while now it's been difficult to get it started in the morning, it will start and go off immediately. Now it doesn't even start again. We have used 3 different VW specialists but none seem to get why the issue is. The last person that was referred to us said there's an issue with the fuel pump, (meanwhile the previous mechanics changed the fuel pump o we've bought 3 different fuel pumps now) and below was the quote he gave us
Need to buy a new fuel pump(the original)-60k, 2 sensors in the engine-25k, and workmanship 65k===== 150k
After we agreed and he did all of these he now decided that he would need to tow the car to his workshop and get it properly checked as he was seeing some bypass in the engine or so. He towed the car and now he's giving us another quite that these things need to be worked on again. Pls I need your advice on this because I feel this guy is just taking advantage of my ignorance on this matter.

---Parts for d engine , set of ballacer 45k engine oil seal 10k chains with adjuster 25k water pump 10k engine oil 20k oil filter 5k ,gear transmission oils 25k tank intake 18k total parts 158k labour 40k
I'm sure the check engine light is on

They are actually 35mm x 2 on each pole. I used single 35mm initially but they were heating up while charging at 240A.
So instead of linking the 2 batteries, I let each battery travel to the inverter on its own. Now the heating is gone.

I have the breakers to worry about now. It's rated 125A and I'm pumping 240A through it. Instead of it to trip, it's just there heating up.
Whats the make of the breaker?

Please explain further for the lame men like us... How many KVA. And what are you selling actually. Inverter, battery, or what? I really need an inverter, used one not more than 3kva

Thanks man.

My 24v 5.5kva inverter and 4 tall tubular battery setup na tear rubber oh. grin

I haven't started using it for carrying load sef. That's why the whole thing is confusing me.

I was told to leave it charging for at least 24hrs which I extended to 48hrs but still the fan go just dey blow dey go while the charge LED light stays blinking but the battery meter on LCD is full and voltage is 27V (It's a 24v 440AH setup).

I assumed it was already in float since the voltage is reading 27V but that charge blinking thing angry

Do I need a separate battery monitor DESPITE the inverter LCD screen already showing Input Voltage, Output Voltage, Load and Battery Voltage etc ?

Voltage in my area these days dey tire person sef (120v) and has me considering a very wide range input 10KVA stabilizer
Battery monitor will give you the correct soc all things being equal. It has a shunt that measures current inflow and out flow through which it calculates the battery percentage. Your inverter battery bar might be full and then suddenly shows 60% or lower when you put a big load on it, only for it to show full again when the load is removed

Meister:
Seller doesn't have any power over how an order is shipped. How did you do your home delivery scheduling ? Abi you didn't just reply the mail you were sent
How? Its the seller that puts up shipping options. I bought an item a week ago with Singapore Post free shipping and $0.71 aliexpress standard shipping and I chose that option, only for the seller to ship through Singapore Post. I chatted and told the seller I'd open dispute that I chose aliexpress standard because I needed the item asap. Long story short, seller cancelled the shipping and shipped through aliexpress standard shipping which is speedaf and currently its already undergoing Nigerian custom clearance

Good afternoon big father, we have an
”installations only” policy. If you’ve been following our thread for a while, you’ll see that we’ve customers who as sent their consoles down to us from as far as Abuja, so that we can install games for them.

Since you reside in Benin, doing business would be very easy, all you need to do contact us on WhatsApp and send your preferred games from my list of 290 games, then send down the PS4 to Lagos, Iyana ipaja to be precise, via Iyare Motors, I’ll get it, install your games and send back asap!

For more information, call/WhatsApp us on 09032427643, thanks!
Sometimes ps4 hdd size is small so an external hdd will be nice and if you are afraid for someone to start selling your games that he has paid for, know that even "installed games" can also be dumped and converted back to fpkg

Thanks!

So I can set 48.5v as low voltage cut off on the hybrid inverter I believe?
You can, but pray you don't have incessant tripping off by the inverter. This is because if your batteries are say 80% and you put a heavy load like a microwave, the inverter voltage might drop to your low voltage disconnect and trip off

How many volts is 65% on Tubular?
That's the problem as load causes voltage drop so it's not a reliable way to check for battery state of charge(soc) . For you to get the soc all load and charging should be disconnected and battery resting for some time. I found the below to be close to what I'm getting with my battery monitor

Nna no vex for me abeg. I don come again. Help me buzz your brother.

The fans are always on and somewhat loud, is that normal?

The only time they go off is when the inverter is switched off and there's no NEPA.

E be like say I go blog post for new Famicare inverter buyers when I'm done sorting out my issues with the inverter grin grin
Fan comes on during charging and off in float, also comes on on high loads. My Axpert inverter does same too. I guess most Chinese inverters do same while charging. If your light is blinking, then most likely your inverter has not entered float. You might be depleting your batteries more thereby requiring long charge times hence while your fan is always on. For lead acid batteries don't go below 50% infact I've gone slightly below 65% once in my 4 years of using my tubular batteries and batteries are still flawless. So end point is get a battery monitor to know your battery soc and properly monitor your inverter charging profile and battery well being properly

it is. Soon as the alternator was charged, everything went back to normal.
That's a weird alternator behaviour, and your battery symbol want on?

Hi abeg no vex. I just installed a 5kva 24v famicare inverter with 4 12v 220AH batteries yesterday. Please how long does the first charge take and how will I know the batteries are fully charged? The battery indicator in the LCD is full and has stopped flashing BUT the yellow charging lamp is still blinking. Thank you
I'm not the owner of said inverter as it belongs to my bro. Just asked him and he said the yellow indicator stops blinking but still remains on, likewise the battery indicator stops the filling animation on the display. It'll be wise to invest on a battery monitor (with a shunt) to stop second guessing.

dejidotun2000:
Is this transformer based or high frequency hybrid ?

Also, how did you measure the power factor ?

Thanks.
It has a transformer, so low frequency. I measured the loads that the inverter can carry simultaneously
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Namzy(m): 7:58pm On Oct 31, 2022
Juror:
The float range is still fair, or why is it unfortunate ?
Incase you want to edit the float voltage for lithium batteries (people usually set bulk and float at same voltage for lithium)
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Namzy(m): 3:27pm On Oct 31, 2022
Juror:
Thanks.

is the battery charging voltage editable or just battery type selectable?

Something tells me the transformer in it is toroidal.
Would you be able to take off the case to check?
Yea most likely toroidal with 18w idle consumption for 3.5kva. I can't take the case of without voiding the warranty because of the sticker. The float and bulk voltage are editable unfortunately the range of float is between 13-14v (depend on system voltage)

NiyiOmoIyunade:
I am not sure that this is the way to measure pf or inverter efficiency especially when you mix inductive and reactive loads together.

Also doubtful the accuracy and precision of any sensors or meters in a budget inverter.

This is the sort of (mis)approximation that may guide someone to make a subpar decision with a great degree of confidence.

To do this assessment properly, one has to separate between the pf distortion created by the loads and the energy conversion efficiency and measurement accuracy of the inverter itself - these are just a few issues to consider and things can get very complicated from here.

If I could put it in simple terms, a horribly designed inductive load will run inefficiently on an average inverter just thesame as it would run inefficiently on a premium and very well designed inverter - one cannot credit the energy/power losses to the inverter in this case.
The inverter was not used to measure the load, rather a fangpusun bmv 700. The 92% indicator was on the inverter display. Before said inveter{famicare 3.5kva} was bought I thought it would do max 2800w but for it to exceed 3000 watts without overload error is a win for me
