I currently use luminous ion inverter 1.5kva. I hope it would work with lithium battery

I don't have an experience with this inverter and I am not sure it can charge it efficiently if there is no user editable settings

Allem:
Please explain further sir. Thanks 👍

some inverters/controller won't stop charging till the battery gets to a certain voltage other than the the user programmed voltage thereby in some cases overcharging the lithium battery

conyema12:
Good evening great engineers. I would like to replace my weak luminous batteries with a Lithium battery. I currently have 1.5kva inverter without solar and two 200ah batteries .

What capacity of lithium battery should I go for? Thanks for your assistance

Before you migrate to lithium, make sure that your inverter/ charge controller can charge lithium adequately

CaptMarvel:
Any solution??

Just format it and you are good

isangjohnson:
I'm also waiting for comprehensive explanation on this.
For lead acid (tubular) battery that I've been using with standalone morningstar Mppt CC..... In bulk stage charging, more amps are pump into the battery.
In absorption stage charging, very limited amps of about 20 to 25 are going into the battery irrespective of how large the pv capacity is.
In float stage, the amps are further reduce to about 5 while maintaining the float stage till charging source is removed or sun is gone.

I'll like to know how it works in lifepo4 battery because I may dedicate standalone CC to my lifepo4 battery bank.

It is almost the same only that in lifepo4, the charging has two stages Constant current and constant voltage.

TechGeek777:
Those using Standalone inverter with separate CC to charge they LiFePO4 battery, what happens when the battery is fully charged and you still have Load connected and solar is available.

1. Will the battery keeps charging just to supply power to the load?

2. Will the BMS shutdown inflow of power from the CC and thereby supplying the load directly from the battery?


I know that with hybrid you can set power to be used from solar alone, but I am considering how possible it will be to use the power from pv(when available) and not touch you battery when you have a floated battery in a standalone point of view.

No, The battery won't keep charging and the BMS won't shutdown power inflow, let me try if I can explain this with my small knowledge .... The charge controller stops charging as soon as the battery gets to the stated voltage in the charging profile , the BMS can also stop charging incase of over charging/over current situation but it shouldn't be doing that everyday

tetralogyfallot:
when victron energy, morning star, outback, fangpusun, sneider MPPT charge controllers dey, wetin u wan do with one yamayama Felicity. Felicity is a low budget MPPT cc mehn.

😹 Baba go and wear your glasses, he wanted to choose between Felicity and powmr.

Please give him your opinion on the two brands

Charitun:
Good morning boss, please what cc do you recommend for lipo 4, powmr or Felicity. Thanks bosses

Felicity is better and I am talking from an informed position

Congratulations seun, may God bless you and keep you sound 🙏

Thank you for this review, it is going to help a lot of people make informed decisions, we need these kind of reviews in the Nigerian renewable energy space

False misrepresentation, false declaration among many other sales gimmicks are used by manufacturers, distributors even the so called middle men to sell their products to unsuspecting customers

coldcandy:
I am just wondering why one would put the inverter in OFF position.
Is it not supposed to be ON to work?

I don't think he is correct. I bought a second hand 65" Hisense TV about 2 years ago and it has served well since then. No lines, no troubles. The only problem I have with it is the lack of direct input selection which messes with my Harmony Remote activity setup.

There is a difference between made for Africa TVs and made for Europe TVs, the TVs sold in our local stores are made for Africa

durodee:
Good morning house, just want some advice here on Smart TVs.
1) Is there a way I can make my regular TV smart? I.e is there a box or stick readily available that I can attach?
2) Anybody with experience with Polystar 65inch smart TV. Is it worth the 300k price? Just to watch films and occasional football matches.

Many thanks for your input!

Buy lg or Samsung from accredited distributors only and thank yourself later🙌

ojeysky:
Typically a good 3.5kva inverter should be able to accommodate 2x surge, if that is not the case then that inverter isn't good enough. I am also not sure a 1.5hp pump surge should get up to 5kw....I have a feeling yours probably tripped because of battery lvd

my sentiments too, *2 surge would be in the neighbourhood of 7kva for the short burst

Jefferyzz:
Straight answer... No

Does this answer cover using 1600watts solar panel with it?

Betnomore:
Thanks. Do they also face the same direction? As I’m thinking if it’s something i can just swap the wires and not bother needing the service of an installer

You need an installer to change the DStv dish to startimes position

Betnomore:
Can startime hd decoder work with dstv dish? I’ve used the startime dish for FTA and want to stop subscribing to Dstv package. The startimes dish is bigger than the dstv dish

Yes

funshyboi:
Please is anyone familiar with this charger. It’s LiFePO4 battery charger. Who has the idea of where I can get it fixed in Lagos

I will advise that you buy a new one rather than repair because how sure are you that the charger is going to be optimal after repair

olopan:
This is true, by the time the epidemic of fake, used and inferior products hit the hearts of Nigerians I am afraid it may make people lose faith

The fact that they are extremely cheap makes it a first choice for many average Nigerians , they would jump at it without thinking twice then bad mouth RE when the setup fails

Sportwin:
Any deep freezer ?

That gen can carry 3.5kva

Baba close eye save and buy new one, you go thank yourself for doing that, most new Haier thermocool freezers are efficient.... Save your prepaid units some stress 😬

There is a huge stock of these panels at alaba, I have seen them stacked up in a warehouse, the man told me they are yellow face panels and that is thier factory colour, I laughed and left 😹

olopan:
The need to be well educated and informed when it comes to investing or own solar can not be emphasized enough.

To know the type and potency of your equipment via taking time to research saves you a lot of stress in many ways.

We were at a site recently to add extra panels due to business expansion and the panels installed by an installer was just not it.

To give to your client that kind of panels without their knowledge will be the biggest scam ever, except it was chosen by they themselves.

Picture 1-4 showing the levels of colouration to aging and also to mismatched panels.

Always watch.

Peterlove11:
You could have added your own advice without taking a jab at him. He hasnt said anything extremely out of order. Everyone here is a student of Alternative/renewable energy. Even Our Ogas here still learn to get better daily. And 5kva is huge, it can comfortably power 2 1hp inverter ACs. You don't need humongous, power hungry inverters to power basic household load.

Your last statement should be on all major billboard in Lagos for at least 1month

adubam:
$89

😹Baba I mean the naira equivalent as at the time you got it

How much was the total landing cost

adubam:
Yes, I got the dish. Renew? Maybe that will be buying another decoder...

Will chmax not consume too much data?[/quote

Most of the recent installers don't know how to manipulate cband and multiple LNBF. My V8 Pro Finder I oredered from AliExpress is under custom clearing when I get it I'll resume sat business part time.

Good evening sirs, please I need recommendations on a good timer switch, din rail 30 amps preferably

Amen o, all of us go grow from trenches ... By the way where is @ojesky , hope you are fine baba

samir101ng:
So, if the Senior Chairmen with Victron's and large LifeP04 banks arrive, say wetin go happen then ?

Baba will grow from the trenches to a big mansion soon. His time will come

Cool story but this your trenches has a car and a solar inverter system I don go oooo!

FEGEITOK:
The other day my car died on me. It read 12.2 V on the multimeter.

Initially wanted to borrow or pay for another battery to jump start the car. Was too early for that.

So I switched off my solar panels, disconected the inverter batteries from the charge controller.

Connected the car battery to the charge controller. Switched the connection of the solar panels to the charge controller back on.

After about 10 to 15 minutes disconnected the setup took the battery to the car and it started right up.

Of course I had to reconnect the inverter battery back after I had returned.

Just sharing a story from the trenches.

I am aiming at badr 5. I want the mbc channels. I already stated the category of channels that I am getting. I have all the requirements for getting any satelite, all I need is more guidance. Thanks in anticipation

There are two things you can do about this, make sure 12284 is at highest quality, try skewing your lnb to 2 o'clock... The mbcs will come ...... You can as well point to 7w for all the MBC package

I decided to keep mum on this comfy wahala because I saw her first review on the comfy a day after I got a brand new one, the bed didn't disappoint after 2days😭 , I have counted my loss and moved on.... I observed later that there is a description on the mattress that confirms what she said but the dealer didn't tell me the bed is not meant for my size😭

ONNYX:
No it doesn't.

She was staying her experience with that brand. Nothing wrong with that. In fairness to the lady this isn't the first time she has de-marketed Mouka Comfy (note that she specifically referred to Mouka Comfy and not other Mouka brands).

On the strength of her derision for Mouka Comfy I decided to do a little objective analysis of the brand and realized that she was correct. Mattresses are appraised by density. The Comfy brand is actually designed for customers/users within a particular body weight range.

Enter a proper Mouka Representative outlet and you will confirm this position.

Thanks Poco for being firm in your resolve to provide enlightenment to otherwise ignorant members of this forum.

We need to learn from every opportunity.
