carreport: Good evening Please I need help in making up my mind on which lithium battery to buy. I'm doing an upgrade and an overhaul so I want to get it rite from the start.
1. Felicity 10kw battery Or 2. Tactel 15kw
They are almost same in price.
Does Tactel have an office in Nigeria like felicity?
PS: which of them will work better in terms of communication with Growatt inverters
Thank you all
If you can afford to get hands dirty just a little then go DIY. The price of 10kwh Felicity battery should get you a very solid 15kwh DIY with all the packaging, bells and whistles
zed7: I'm thinking of buying the 2013/2014 honda accord. What a lovely car. If my budget was higher, I'd have gone for the 2017 model, especially the touring. I just need reassurance from those who've used this car. My budget is 5m. Don't know if it will fly, with the current inflation rate.
I've also been thinking of the 2015 civic, the full option, as I've owned a lower model and enjoyed it. Anyone own or knows anyone using this?
I have a clean toks accord 2014 Ex thumbstart. You may check my post if interested
Can one mix together (charging and usage), two battery Banks of, 1) LiFePo4 Pristmatic Cells 2) and the other LiFEPo4 32650 Cells, if both are of the same Capacity (3kW each) and connected to the same Hybrid Inverter? To form 6KW Battery Bank. Any downside, danger?
Even if they are of different capacity so long as they are separate battery bank put together in parallel you are good to go
ojeysky: I have got 2 brand new BMV 712 with temp sensor for grabs. 125k each
Q/A Is this the victron BMV 712 with Bluetooth features? Yes Is the price negotiable? No price is firm Sir/Ma Does the price include shipping? No it doesn't, but I can waybill to any part of the country at buyer's cost.
mjblinks: Please, Can anyone help with list of batteries that LAST 5yrs and above and their current prices
And batteries that can LAST 3yrs and above and current prices
Reason is because my current battery is draining fast and is not up to 3yrs that was stated.
Battery =JYC battery GP200ah-12v Panel. =2 pcs of 260w solar panel. The inverter is 1.5kva
Loads. 2 ceiling fans, 1 TV, and 6 bulbs.( we don't on all bulbs) We don't know how we use it wrong to avoid that in the future
Get LFP battery packs and have peace of mind or if you still want to stick with LA, get any popular brand from reputable sources and make sure you don't frequently discharge below 70%.
nonoski: This is the setup I have in the village. I have a 5kva hybrid Felicity inverter but I didn't use the MPPT rather I installed an external Victron 250/100. This has served me well. I read on this thread back then that the charging of hybrid systems were not comparable to external CCs so I just want to confirm if that has since been improved on...
When I used MPP and Felicity hybrid charging was fine and now that I just Deye hybrid charging is still fine. Ofcourse there may be little difference in their mppt efficiency but not more than +/-5% IMO
nonoski: No I have Fangpusun CC (the outback clone) in my guest house it doesn't behave that way but it takes some time for the CC to move from charged to Float then absorb/bulk charging unlike the Victron.
So basically I want to be sure that the inbuilt MPPT CC of a Growatt is OK or I should go for an external Victron CC. Please I need user experience on this
A few places I have deployed growatt are doing fine....I don't use it personally. For me I prefer an hybrid system.....but one man food is another man's poison....we've had a long talk on hybrid Vs standalone in previous thread
nonoski: I have tried all manner of tweaking of the settings, watched countless videos online, increased the voltage setting to enable the CC kick in from 51v removed the external temperature sensor pluged to battery terminal etc. I don taya
The only explanation I can give is that as the batteries became weaker the CCs misinterpret the readings coz at 45v any CC with common sense is suppose to start charging.
@kadorzy I think used the junior brother of outback before, maybe he can chime in here... really I do think it's absurd and strange for such a CC to behave that way.
nonoski: I had similar high rating about Outback but I finally learnt that they are over rated. I personally bought 2 of them from Amazon in US due to its high ratings.
Now let me give u my layman experience.
There is usually PHED in the morning around 7am till like 9am, the CC continue to show charged even when utility is no longer available. So while the sun is shining the CCs are sleeping and the inverter is busy draining the batteries. By the time the useless Outback CC kick in around 2-3pm it will not be able to charge the batteries till they float or absorb. Most times by the time my wife returns from school runs the inverter has shut down due to low battery.
However the Victron CC I have in he village moves quickly from float to Absorb and then bulk within few minutes when utility is no longer available and the AC is on. It makes the batteries remain fully charged till 5-6pm most times 6:15pm.
So I have learnt not to joke with little details. They can cost u a fortune.
From the bolded, I want to assume you've ensured this was not a settings issue? If yes then I will say that is a huge bug..... Even a cheap powmr will not behave as such
nonoski: Between Growatt inbuilt MPPT & external Victron Charge Controller which has a better charging algorithm.
I use Victron 250/100 CC in my village house and I can tell u that they beat Outback CC 100 to 1 in terms of charging.
Interesting numbers (in bold), Outback strikes me as a very good CC am curious to learn about the test you carried out to confirm this major difference?
Trszxi85: Jiji is good. Just activate any good premium plan and watch the paycheck roll in.
AM A LIVING TESTIMONY... I'VE BEEN WITH THEM WHEN NO ONE/LESS PEOPLE USES THE PREMIUM PLAN AND I WAS SELLING WELL THEN.
The only thing is that JiJi premium plans now are over crowded and you hardly get more exposure unlike before.
But it's worth doing.
The issue with Nigerians is that they hate to pay to any Naija based company/website to advertise their goods but they can pay Facebook & Twitter to advertise.
Bye. Just have a rethink and position your business well.
#Peace
There subscription fees has now reached the roof.....they even charge way more than some physical shops now!
ceaser: Abeg Ojes, LFP price don come down? Because I used to know 12v/100ah to be around 140k to 150k o.
It's like you forgot to calculate the price of BMS and enclosure with it.
This is seriously annoying. This is even worse than being sold a lemon. Why not let a client know the options available and then let them make an informed choice? Sadly we can't purchase panels directly ourselves from overseas or even buy solar cells and DIY like it can be done with Lithium batteries. It would have cut down chances of falling into the hands of these fraudsters.
Inverters, Lithium cells, controllers, switches, meters can all be personally ordered from reputable manufacturers and bypass fraudulent middle marketers. But solar panels, no hope yet.
I guess we still have to hope reputable dealers maintain their reputation and sincerity.
I reached the Jos guy some months back and he was willing to do 90 or 100ah for me at that price but ofcourse it may not be same price with the current realities of fx
This will propel Tesla to majorly manufacturing on three continents of Asia, North America and Europe.
While VW made a quick entrance into Battery Electric Vehicle space, BMW and Mercedes Benz were foot dragging.
Now the greatest fear of legacy automakers being taken over by electric startups is unveiling.
2022 is gonna be pretty exciting in the electric vehicle space. I seriously hope we can begin investing in this sector (I for one won't mind owing a purely BEV - not even hybrid). If tesla is outside reach at the moment, BYD is one Electric car company that is promising to make owing a BEV a walk in the park. It can at least help in short distance commutez in the light of the useless fuel price hike that is soon to bedevil the citizens.
The purchase is still a "maybe" but no doubt EV is the present and future. We look forward to when any of those EV cars will be within a range of an average Nigerian
samnaija: So you did not get the part bad wheather you quoted
The way you worded your message is what was confusing....PV planning is important hence things like weather condition needs to be put into consideration in your planning if you want to ensure your batteries are fully charge via sunlight.
samnaija: Controllers cant guaranty constant voltage, cloud effects , bad wheather and so on. You can carry out a little experiment charge with nepa only and discharge, also charge with controller and discharge. You will notice a difference in run time. The rule is once a while charge with nepa
I like to get the logic; are you saying if I charge a battery to full via either utility or solar PV the run time will be different with same load?
onegentleguy: Its NOT a split, but a REVERSE stock split... which is practically the same thing as a share consolidation or reconstruction exercise. The word "reverse" there connotes "opposite" The case of Cutix was a split exercise which is more like a bonus. (think it was a 1 for 1... not 1 for 3) But that of WEMA would be a Reverse split... same thing as the recent exercise by MANSARD INS.
The bank (WEMA) intends to propose to it's shareholders at a court-orderd meeting a reconstruction ratio of 1 new share for every 3 shares previously held as at December 31, 2021. By inference, an investors initially held vol/unit will be divided by 3 (post qualification date) while simultaneously multiplying their share price by same discount ratio... leaving their effective value unchanged.
Hopes its clear now. Regards
Yes it's all clear now thanks! oh and yes cutix was 1 for 1 was just using it as a split example.
I guess if one would remember what happened after mansard reconstruction waiting to see how this pans out after reconstruction may be better for the faint hearted
