CaptainKool15:
Can I dm you?

Do you mind sharing here as well

ksmart027:
Honda civic 04 or 05 needed, if you have anyone for sale quote me.

There is a 08 and 07 toks you may reach me if interested.

If you need a Honda Civic, a toks 08 Civic just landed(yet to be cleaned up) and it's up for sale let me know if interested. Mileage 144k can provide vin if requested.

ceaser:
Ha! Bro, are you the one selling?

Because it's a [b]lot cheaper [/b]somewhere o.

Not to spoil market o.

Abi o, I bought one of this at quite high price, I liked it and wanted to buyer another one but then I stumbled on a cheaper source....I just vex buy 2 instead.

earthrealm:
am considering it as well, however, saw lower wattage on aliexpress, OP posted 450w, i saw 200w, 250w 12v/24v etc. only thing you should be aware of is the low water yield, 600 to 1000liters per hour

That will be too much for me already, will be good to know which route you finally take so I can learn/ride on your experience. Kindly keep me/us posted Sir.

ceaser:
450 watts 72 volts is the spec on that. That's gonna be a whole lot of panels. Although if the 60 meters lift spec is what it can give, then it may be worth it.

Thanks I didn't even pay close attention to the voltage..... that's at least 3x300w. I guess DC pump is not yet an option for borehole then

justcallmenuel:
DC solar pump available, #220000. Call/WhatsApp us on 08168986461

Anyone using this kind of DC pumping machine? I like to specifically know if it's a worthwhile investment or whether going the normal AC pumping is better

Gantautos:
Just wanted to ask if anyone knows of a good and cheap OBD scanner to buy

Cheap is relative, what's your budget. If you can do up to 100usd then I will recommend bluedriver

adrusa:
Has anyone here had any experience with this seller or his battery? There are others on Jiji, anyone had any experience with them?

The one I am using is from a seller on jiji, it's the 200AH 24V for 450k and it's so far so good from my end but am yet to do a true capacity test of it....

Looks like lithium market is going to be interesting this year, ofcourse with expectation for some disappointments as well. There is a 12v 200AH lifepo4 now at 190k its branded Pelton Lithium Ion Battery(google it). Had extensive discussion with seller and his sounds quite interesting. Any one trying this or have tried it already?

Need a bmv 712 kit with temp sensor. Anyone got for sale? (Used or new)

mymadam:
Since I cannot technically post it here via my phone (don't know how...lol), if any interested investor wants me to forward the info to his/her WhatsApp, kindly indicate here AND please go on to post it here for all other interested Okada/Minibus investors to view. Thank you.

The struggle continues

N.B. Please note that according to the message, the tip, apparently via the LASG has a closing date.

You mean you don't know how to copy and paste but you know how to post the message above. Hmm....isorite

seanfer:
Change the Radiator Cap (cover.)

If that does not work, try a new radiator. That was the fix in my case

earthrealm:
#OJESKY. and other mpp inverter enthusists, your people mpp inverter appear to have stopped selling on aliexpress, you know where else one can get their products at good prices.

Though not my handle, I was still seeing them on AliExpress few days ago, this may be a temporary issue hence you may check again within the week.
You can also buy directly from them by sending your order request to Peggy at peggy@mppsolar.com

It's actually cheaper that way than buying from AliExpress

Has this offloaded yet?

kiekie1:
Yes i was aware of that before the brief post ! It doesn't affect much when compared to normal flooded / tubular batteries emitting same gaseous substance and always adviced to be installed outdoor or in vented areas !! There would always be criticisms as we also see with lithium battery but product application, storage and maintenance should be observed as company/manufacturer states ... Nevertheless, the advantages of nickel iron speaks for itself .. Thanks

I just did a quick check on 2 things that are not technical related:

- For a 24v 200Ah setup I will be doing 200kg in weight.
- At 1.2v nominal I will need 20 pieces and that is space as well.

Coming from a lead acid to LFP and then to nickel may be termed from grass to grace to weed

kiekie1:
NICKEL IRON BATTERIES!


The only reason why it's not being sold is because of







YOU, ME & THE POWER CABALS.

We no go chop again.
100 years? Nooooo

RPC strongly advises against Nickel Iron batteries for home solar systems.....If you need high quality deep cycle batteries, take a look at these Lead Acid or Lithium-ion batteries.

peeps4u:
What is the recommneded oil specs? I advise you use the correct oil as specified by the maker.

I use the specs 0w20

I need a good lifpo4 external battery charger for 8s, will appreciate any recommendation.

I found some on AliExpress but will be good if I can get one locally

ICraft:
I believe your Battery is Lithium ion Phosphate (LifePO4). your max voltage per cell is considerably lower, about 3.6v per cell. I use Lithium Ion. Max charge voltage per cell is 4.2v. I set my BMS to shut down Charging once any cell pack reaches that set voltage (4.1v). I don't do float charge

Thanks for the clarification. I heard those lithium ion are quite dangerous for newbies if charging and connections is not handled properly but I can see that you are Pro DIY user wey pass my level. Make people like us dey manage LFP jeje

kulbethrand:

Finally, now fingers crossed! Thanks

My 2010 Camry seem to be burning oil sightly, I thought this oil burn whala was to the 07-09 range. I may move to higher weight (currently 0w20) at next my service but is there anyone that experienced this and any possible fix to it?

ICraft:
from my Opinion, there is no battery that is happy with 100%DOD, that's an invitation to short lifespan. I am completely off grid in my office, I use Lithium Ion and my BMS allows maximum voltage per cell 4.1v during charging and lowest discharge level is 3.2v per cell. that range accounts for about 70%DOD. I have had no noticeable capacity loss since I installed the Lithium ion (December 2016). The case would have been different if I do 100%DOD

I agree that putting the lithium consistently at 100% DOD will certainly affect life span in the long run (just as doing 50% lead will as well). However the intention was to give a capacity equivalent else I will actually say the better DOD spot for a lead acid will be 20/30% while that of lithium is good at 70/80%. That way the lead acid may be able to survive up to 75% life span of a lithium. It still won't last the years of a good lithium but should be close.

That said, am curious at your lithium voltage figures, do you mean your batteries actually hold voltage at 4.1v? As that seem like a max charge voltage to me (though I don't even get the high in my case).

Barezzi:
@Ojeysky, look ya post and run through ya numbers again.
The thing no jive at all...

Am open to correction Sir, I assumed 100% DOD for lithium and 50% DOD for Lead Acid....Oya tell me where I misyarn

simydan:
You can contact me for a good deal!

Can you share you prices here Sir

DUNKA:
please what capacity of lithium batteries will replace eight ( 200 ah flooded batteries?

The way I understand it 12v 200AH lead acid = 12v 200AH lithium. The difference comes in the depth of discharge..... while you can use lithium entirely without issues, doing so with lead acid will kill it faster. So if we work with 50% DOD as safe depth for lead acid then the equivalent for lithium will be 24V 200AH X 2
12V 200AH X 4
48V 200AH
Gurus in the house may know better though

Ojaysport:
How much is it?

It really depends on what you need or what your pocket can afford. Mine is a 24v 5.4kw at 450k. There sure other top brands that costs more....those got way more better packaging, logging, bells and whistles but mine works as I hoped for and that's all that matters.

rationalmind:
I pity you

Even seasoned car dealers still occasionally buy lemons.

Hear it directly from the Horse's mouth

Okay I think we were talking about 2 different things, I was just only referring to the overall cost to get it to naija..... excluding repairs (which I guess is what the OP @aberyomi09 does). Ofcourse cost of repair can be another thing entirely and yes if that is what you meant then that is indeed a gamble

rationalmind:
There's no way to tell till the vehicle lands. Auctions are gambles.

There are ways to tell, if you know you know

Target price of max 2.2m

This one was the baddest buy, sure overall cost of this will be way less than the target price!

hancock:
I see you are enjoying your new sets of batteries
Once you go lithium you will never want to look back

Yes o.... infact having learnt that I can introduce new battery at any time without negative effect, I am hoping I to get another 5.4kwh by end of the year[1] so I can add to my existing 5.4kwh. The stuff is small but mighty...the way it withstand temporary current demand spikes is amazing!

Cheers!
[1] Assuming the performance of current one continue as it's currently experienced.

Folks if you can, go lithium FP mine has been throwing great performance thus far!
