That's good to know...
I was eyeing Quanta but might settle for Gacia since my setup is kinda temporary for now

eleojo23:
How would you rate Gacia and Mercury batteries?

ojeysky:
For me, fuel is not the main focus but if a vehicle is consuming more fuel than normal, it could have other implications to the engine and other components in the long run. So when I asked, it was not mainly for the fuel but to confirm normalcy of car operation and performance.

I hope that helps.

Bro,
I am SURPRISED, I feel OFFENDED and I NEVER THOUGHT it was a standing fan.
why?
Because I told you about that fan, pointed you to the vendor, even went ahead to give you tips on connection and type of wire and also told you about the adapter via mail and also my experience and those I know that are using it,
so why should I not be surprised about your questions and also feel offended about your thought that "it was a standing fan", seriously?
you fall my hand.

ceaser:
Do you mind sharing the amount you got yours? The price and the shipping separately.

dragnet:
how do you connect AC to a ceiling fan?
I am surprised you still came here to ask an exact question I duly answered via mail, maybe you didn't trust my response. Others using similar fan should answer you.

dragnet:
A 12V - 1A/2A dc adapter should do, or even a N1200 GoTV adapter.

odimbannamdi:
Bro, how much is it? I am considering buying one as well.

surrogatesng:
Buy

2kWhr from an array of 1.5kw is not impressive. You should be doing 3-6kWhr if the system is performing optimally (enough load and battery bank to accept all it can generate)

KWhr explanation: your system works from morning to evening generating power in kw ranging from 0kw to 1.5kw since your panel max at 1.5kw. The sum of all that generation is taken taken to hour term. Example if you have a constant 600w power output for 10min that's equivalent to {600*10/60} ie 100Whr.
So a 2kWhr generation can be said to be 2kW power output for 1hr but in reality the power was lower (less than 1.5kW) spanning a period between 6am and 6pm

Hello Ma,

I have a 2010 corolla, the fuel consumption is nothing to write home about, there's no check engine light. I've changed the air filter and cleaned the 'nozzle' to no effect.
A weekly N5,000(35.48L) gives me 200 miles with AC full time.

In my calculations I should be getting 240 miles if indeed the mpg is mpg city and "26 mpg city and 35 mpg highway and 30 combined.

What could be the cause because the car shortchanges me about 8miles per N1000 fuel.

I brought it to your workshop about 2months ago and since there was no check engine light, your workers said all is good.

I also noticed that once I press the accelerator, it seems air/gas is escaping from under the hood. What could be the cause.

wait wait wait, you mean you are harvesting over 2kw from a 1.5kw array/?.

to what do you owe this superb harvest?..panels or Inverter?

am loving the in & out kw energy display of the inverter, could you post a link of where you bought it again

urchltd:
yea

ojeysky:
I guess you are now on the GK, what's been your daily generation since then? Mine has been above 2kwh daily on a 1.5kw setup.

On a general note, I was glad I made this solar investment; we've not had utility for over 4 months and only time I use gen is when I need to pump water in my tank, actually I feel I need more battery bank as I hit float before noon

Hopefully I will get to see good awof batteries here

PS: picture was taken around 7pm so was already on battery.

duwdu:
It's now 4 pm and the situation has not improved. (Attached.) Hmm, I guess that does it practically for this solar day?

if fuel is ur issue

buy a kia Rio like mine and use...I do not know maths,but I use 10 litres for 160km journey

if kia is not reliable, buy a yaris

if u use a v6 and fuel is what u r carrying calculator up and down for,my brothers and sisters,u r not ready

when I use my v6 car I dont look at the fuel gauge hence I give myself hypertension

I'm eyeing the 03-05 4runner v8 as I dey...its not about the car,its about who's driving it

Hi guys
Please i got a Nigeria used 2004 Toyota Camry SE, looks cool n drives okay however i had to run a scan with a friends elmf tool to diagnose why check engine light was on...
I got these fault codes
P0016
P0128
P2238
Kindly help intepret these for me... and how to go about fixing them

The Highlander has approximately 75L while sienna has 79L

for the 1mz we have
2wd V6 17mpg city and 21mpg highway

4wd V6 16mpg city and 21mpg highway

both have a combined of 18mpg as fuel economy.

let's convert 18mpg to L/100km = 13L/100km

so your vehicle is doing 13L per 100km now to mathematics

75L(tank capacity) / 13L X 100km = 576.xxkm let's say 577km. when your needle would be on red E mark. so half tank should be around 280km.

What's the reason for the difference in mpg between the Highlander and the sienna?
I will be back to trash this one out.

continued
The sienna is 100kg heavier than the Highlander so in retrospect the Highlander should be fuel efficient than the sienna but for Toyota it's always upside down just like the 3.5L 2gr sienna is fuel efficient than the 3.3L 3MZ which is better than the 3.0L 1MZ.

sienna 97-00 1mz 19mpg 198hp

sienna 01-03 1mz vvti 21mpg 210hp

Highlander 1mz vvti 18mpg 220hp

Lexus Rx300 1mz vvti 18mpg 220hp

Toyota harrier 1mz 17mpg 210hp

My final ascertion to the discrepancy in fuel economy amongst Toyota vehicles using same engine but different weight is probably to get more power from the Engine you have to sacrifice a little fuel economy. That's the only reason I can deduce from the setup, though I am not saying I am 100% right.

As a clown that I am, I will just leave this here so I don't "misread" any other thing

Sienna is speaking Canadian while the highlander is speaking American

Keep on dashing mechanic money for mpg from the manual, I hope you get it one day

Let me quote my self

Some other people will now go & be repairing wetin no spoil, dey find wetin no lost..

Navigator that has approx 100litres tank is been compared against highlander with 70litres tank..

Bro if this freezer is really what Namzy claims, then it's the bomb. Just go for it. Just make sure you go shopping armed with your wattmeter for proper confirmation.

Other factors worthy of considerations though, will include the number of hours it is able to keep foods frosted off power (a factor of insulation), cos you can't leave it working overnight. Also in the rainy season are days of poor solar harvest which ma require some shedding. In such times, good insulation of cabinet freezers come into play.

I'm not happy now cos I should have heard about this freezer 6 months ago when I secured that Thermocool.

But going forward, I think I will take more notice of some selected Hisense products in power saving capacity over Thermocool and LG products that I have grown fond of.

ceaser:
If the condenser is changed, the new one may not be a good power saver as the stock. Also these Kazeem technicians will install fan once they work on any freezer. That's added consumption.

My sienna is always in too shape.

I live on the island and work on the mainland (Ogudu) I am always zooming to work no traffic

I also go to Ogun state regularly I leave early and only get caught up in traffic less than an hour

I maintain 90km/h only exceed that when I intend to over take.

I don't pack load and my suspension is stock.

5W40 all the time and platinum twin tip spark plugs buy fuel from only MRS, NNPC and TOTAL.

The Highlander comes in 3 configuration s

2.4L i4 should have a better fuel economy than the sienna

3.0L V6 FWD should be identical to the sienna

3.0L V6 4WD should be just a stone throw from the sienna.

Then also note that I do more of highway driving in my movement when your journey is follow follow traffic in lagos, please stop calculating fuel economy cause you can run mad.

but your 260miles on full tank is alarmingly bad haba my Navigator V8 would do 320miles in city driving only with traffic.

nurey:
If you are using the fuel gauge indicator as your fuel economy calculator OYO is your case. Buy full tank, if your engine in the sienna is 1mz and is in top shape then

full tank down to the end of the first quarter mark is 150kms

quarter mark to exactly half point is 180 to 200km meaning full tank to half tank should be 350km, the more you deviate then the more you should be worried about my stats is for combined 20% traffic (1.5hrs) 80% highway (3-4hrs)

good luck.

Namzy:
It has interior light. Don't know what you mean by fan. As for how long before defrosting, I have not checked but I think my other thermocool is better. But the defrosting depends on a number of factored mostly how much stuff is inside said freezer as more will make them defrost less. Meanwhile because of its wattage its on for about 15 hrs daily so that might also contribute

Namzy:
It's 205 liters with net capacity of 198l[written on the back] final watts after being on for about 6 hours is 56watts

lexi28:
is your breaker a double pole breaker? if yes, then the SPD connection should be made to the breaker inputs.
if no, the breaker positive is OK, just find a common negative to connect the SPD negative to, preferably not directly at the controller terminals or most likely at the battery negative terminals (depending on the connections you used).
the ground terminal of the SPD should go to the common ground/earth you have. if you do not have a good ground or earthing connection, the SPD is pretty much useless.
if you got all connections correct, even without a bus bar, it will still work.
