Travel / Re: Cost Of A Nigeria International Passport by omotoda(m): 4:40am On Apr 30
rocoh:


So why can't the Minister do something about it?

The Miinister has gone silent since he was linked to the Beta Edu scandal.So.many initiatives that was supposed to commence has been halted since: things like delivery of passport,no capturing for renewals etc

Hello all,I thought the minister said renewals do not need to do biometrics capture again as the uploaded passport photograph will be printed on the international passport. Is it that renewal will still go for capturing again?

See a quote a solar installer gave me. What do you guys think?

*inverter with solar*
1.1 kva inverter. 75,000
1 tubular battery (220ah )130,000
Solar panels (360watts 75000 each ). 150,000
Logistics+materials + installations. 70,000

*Total 425,000*

The 1.1 kva inverter is high.Insist on a1.5kva inverter. You should be able to get a hood brand of 1.5kva inverter for 80k max.The additional cost here is you will have to budget for 2 batteries as against one.

And like some said,let us kniwvthe brand of batteries,inverter and solar panel

Boss, see pic attached.

I have switched off the battery, so the one on the left (which is the one that was apparently working) is now at 12.1v, while the one on the right is still at 12.7v.

When did this sudden gap start? Check the batch numbers / serial numbers of the batteries and post them here.

Is the buyer not supposed to trust the word of a Seller, about what the seller is selling?
"If" the Seller says there is One Year Warranty, is it the buyer that should say that is a lie or l dont trust what you are saying?

The reason l am asking is that l always trust what a Seller on this FTA thread says abotu what they are selling, as l often think we are here to help one another, with knowledge and business sales.

I wont be happy if we are turning this thread to "Alaba Boys will just eat your money", or is everyone trading from Alaba now a Crook? angry

Please do not trust what the seller says. Research and do your independent investigation. Which Alaba seller offers warranty and honours same? I haven't seen any.Even with reputable companies,you have to battle to enforce your warranty in Nigeria.

Most sellers here are just 'baranda' people.They have no idea of the products.They just go round ,take pictures.

And like most people have stated,most of all the solar lamps are not reputable.We all know the good brands but most times we run away because of price.I recently bought SMS 150 solar flood light some 2 months ago for 27k each.I saw other brands for much lesser price but I knew they can't last. Good products are expensive these days so what our guys to us to bring in sub standard ones at attractive price.I was speaking with the sales manager of proton power systems recently and she said even the cost price of a good 200ah Lead Acid battery from China is well above #100k and you see people here posting batteries for 100k,115k and you expect it to be good.I have had my own share of their dishonesty so I do my research and go to the company/importer direct whenever I need anything.It may cost me more buying directly from company but at least I won't gey fake!!!

Omo, I ain't about to do all these DIY shiiiii, I'll call the installer to come replace these batteries with a 48v pack and pay the difference, I guess he doesn't know how inefficient series charging them would be.

Best option!!!!

Chai! I got two 350W panels some weeks ago. Both connected in parallel and are still unable to charge my 12v 200ah mopower battery full in a day.

350 watts panel will be 24volts.It won't charge your battery if what you have is pwm charge controller.

Hello house.

So i got 2x 24v 150ah blue carbon lifepo4 batteries both connected in series to my 48v 5kva hybrid inverter. The problem now is that it seems that one of the batteries depletes fast than the other, I'm getting a voltage difference of up to 0.4v. I reached out to my installer and he came and hooked up one active battery balancer like but its doubt its doing a good job of keeping packs balanced.

To the experienced guys in the room, how do I fix this issue? The setup is still brand new and if this persist, I plan calling the installer to get me a replacement because I suspect both batteries aint got the same capacity.

Cheers


The true capacity of your blue carbon is actually 24v 130ah not 150 ah as advertised.The voltage difference of 0.4 is expected because the batteries have separate BMS controlling the charging profile.You need to actually let us know the run time VI's a VI's your load for us to actually advise better but be not deceived,if I remove losses and efficiency,your batteries are actually 24v 100ah usable capacity!!!

Why always Felicity.

Felicity still remains one of the fastest moving affordable and reliable brands.

They have a major dealer in Alaba that every other person buys from except you go to their office in Amuwo so there is actually slim chances of buying fake Felicity. So what the Alaba guys do is to supply lower capacity by tinkering with the packaging as wilmaria did!!

@ customer it has already happened. please send the items back and get your refund , though i advise u let go, keep using it, if there is no bad performance issues. am saying this because looking at the price u bought them (90k for both) , brand new 250w panel is not less than 50k, talkless of felicity 60A mppt that is sold for 90 to 100k last price.

@willmaria14, we all know what u did. this is typical alaba style. u fraudulently supplied him, what his money can afford, which is very bad. why didn't u tell him that felicity 60A cc is actually sold for 90,000, and brand new 250w panel for 45 or 50k.
u should desist from this act, tell people the specific market price, who wan buy go still buy, regardless!


Baba,you could not have said it better!Guy should just continue using it as long as the charge controller is original just the lower capacity rating.Like you said,no way 90k could have gotten both.The used 250w Trina is like 25k so if the products are working fine ,just close eye and move on!!

And for wilmaria,I wont say anything more than what you have said.We should just try to be honest and sincere.

Valto:
there u have it. doesn't add up. i dont believe it is real capacity.

Well,if we agree then that the quoted prices for the affordable Lithium brands is not in tandem with the stated capacity,then I think it would be right to say then that the price gap between Lithium and AGM is still quite far.

Me I have jejely moved to tubular until Lithium becomes truly affordable and I have seen difference already when compared to SMF.At least the tubular will give better performance and longevity than AGM.

they are selling 12v 150ah for 200k,which i dont think is achievable factoring in the real cost of grade A 150ah cells, good bms and casing.

Cloud energy's 12v 200ah is N240,500,the 24v 130ah is N332,000,48v150ah is N620k.

I can't really say their real capacity though

Do you have first hand experience on this cloud energy 24V, 130AH.

I also came across Kartel 12V, 200AH.
I wonder if there real capacities are as stated.

I don't oo.Also in the market shopping for affordable Lithium

ojeysky:


Hmm.....more details below Sir



My apologies a good lifepo4 cells and a good lead acid is what I intend, but my own definition of good lifepo4 cells may be different from yours...see further....




You are right the above will be very laughable if that was what I said.




My definition of good lithium battery is on the cells, pylontech is very good but over 80% of that I attribute it that to packaging and the BMS. If I get similar packaging and BMS then apply precautions applied by pylontech on their BMS on my Eve cells I will get close to similar performance as pylontech.....so for me it's the content that matter most, get a good lithium cell and manage it as you wish.



If the capacity and quality is questionable then why use that as your measuring yardstick Sir? Brief maths, I just saw Valto post 8s/24v 280ah for 680k add another 100k for BMS and any other miscellaneous....780k. Note that those cells are good grade A cells....I hear there is Grade A+ but grade A is fine for my level grin

Lead acid capacity safe equivalent will be 500AH 24V
That is approximately 6 units of 160AH 12v batteries. A good lead acid should sell for 120k in naija of today. That is 720k. Yet you may still be running your lifepo4 after those lead acid might have packed up. Let's not include other advantages over LA such as weight and space consumption and high C rates



Felicity is not bad, what is bad in Felicity is that they are not being truthful with providing actual capacity of their cells.... otherwise the cells themselves are not bad.


You are right.The cost of good LA is almost same as Lithium.The best LA cannot give you more than 700 cycles @50% DOD while the basic Lithium will still give 2000 cycles @ 80% DOD,worst case scenario. Many companies which are traditionally LA manufacturers are gradually producing Lithium as well because they know that is the future.I am aware that even the sole representative of Index batteries in Nigeria is already working on launching its brand of Lithium.I also know a company,Cloud Energy that is already selling its brand of 12v 200ah and 24v130ah Lithium for fairly good price ( although their Lithium is just basic,no meter and no monitoring capacity).

numericalguy:


Thanks so much for your reply.

Please how do I match the float and bulk voltage spec of the batteries. Will I be using a load balancer for that?

Also, when I go lithium (I'm seriously considering that) will I need to change my inverter too? Someone once told me that lithium battery inverters are different from lead acid AGM inverters. I currently use Luminous 24v/1.5kva Inverter.

Thanks


Best you change the inverter.This inverter charges AGM to float at 13.6v while LIFEPO4 charges fully at 14.6v. By the way, how come this inverter has not collapsed with the capacity of batteries you are using.It means the inverter will be working almost 24hoyrs to charge 12 of those 2v batteries!!!

For enquiries - +2347038616199.

I think the appropriate thing to do as others in this line of business have done is to post your price for different capacities as well as pictures.

You will create more interest and I stand to be corrected,but I think it was agreed on this platform some pages back that sellers MUST post pics of their items as well as price or at the least provide detailed information on item on sale e.g

"I could post that I have 24 units of fairly used Monbat 12v 200ah batteries for sale at N50k each.Batteries are used off grid but are connected to solar ".

I have not posted pictures but I've given a fair and concise information on item on sale.
