dayomuritala: Good morning please who knows 12v 1kva inverter that can use lithium battery also can this inverter be setting be edited to use lithium The charging profile can't be edited. You can use it for Lithium although you'll need to be mindful of the Low Voltage Discharge (LVD)cut off depending on your Lithium battery profile.This inverter amongst other Indian type inverters cut of voltage at 10.5-10.8v.There are some Lithium batteries now with LVD at 10.8v.I think @linnovo has this Powmr Lithium that should be compatible with your inverter.@Valto to has inverter and LFP combo that you can. ook at. |

Has anyone noticed how Lifepo4 batteries seems to have flooded the market? Followed a colleague to Alaba for some electrical purchases and couldn't but wonder the various types of Lifepo4 in different names ,shapes and sizes in the market.I hope guys have not started packaging rubbish from China in the name of Lifepo4 cells. |

HeavenlyBang: No. DoD of lead acid is about 50%, lithium is damn near close to 100%.
Also, anytime you deep discharge a lead acid battery, there's some serious irreversible damage to it.
Here's a chart showing capacity of lead acid, lithium, and sodium under different conditions and discharge rates.
There's absolutely no reason to buy tubular in 2025. You and this your quote of let's leave tubular batteries in 2024  New entrants will still go for tubular becayse that's what the average installer will still recommend.In fact, different brands of tubular keeps coming into the market daily |

I thought it's not advisable connecting Lifepo4 in series.Kindly clarify.Considering the LVD of 9.1v does this mean it can work with regular inverters with lead acid charging algorithm? |

dollarnaira: I am a living bms.  Bluetooth bms is editable which aint cheap and it is the best. Your inverter which most likely will cut off at 10.5v is far far better than dumb bms that most invest on. Unless its lvd is above 2.5v other most of them are 2.5v per cell.
Only certain inverters of lower wattage usually cut off at 9 or 9.5v.
Confirm the lvd of ur inverter first though almost all 1.5kva and above should have lvd of 10.5 or 11v. The LVD of my inverters are 10.5v. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by omotoda(m): 2:13pm On Dec 26, 2024 |
compunigeria: It all depends on what is more suitable for you, from your personal point of view ......weighing the cost and the stress involved.
Of course,the other option is to use your present inverters as @dollarnaira said. However to avoid undue stress on your BMS and the batteries
* you and the other users of the inverter can act as a human BMS to enforce the LVD( cos some units can drain your battery to 10v before disconnecting). OR * Get an external LVD OR * Get a battery bank that will conveniently power your loads without any significant drop in the voltage.
Personally,after weighing the above options especially the bolded part and the cost of the Lithium battery i realised that the @Dam5reey1 option was better for me.
This shouldn't be a problem.I have electricity for about 20hours daily and enough panels as well.My old AGM ( Trojan 6v 315ah) just got depleted and I am considering changing toFP instead of tubular. |

dollarnaira: Why won't your inverter work with LifePO4? Same charging profile : 14.5v with grid Regular cut off 10.5v at 2.625v per cell. Wetin u con want us wey don dey use dumb inverters ( Satchet) for past 12yrs con do?
My battery had only dropped below 11v once in years.
GET ACTIVE BALANCER and you are good to go.
Oga, use dem like that.
But If u feel u get d money for this era spend it. Bros,this is encouraging.I just wanted to be sure it will work considering I will be investing in LFP which ain't cheap.Thank goodness you have first hand practical experience on it |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by omotoda(m): 11:12am On Dec 26, 2024 |
Dam5reey1: Cut the stress get a new inverter, Hybrid with MPPT top Choice.
Since you have Controller already, You can use those inverter however you should not charge with them.
Just be mindful of the LFP you buy, it must support low voltage cut of at 10V. I know this is the best option but na money I dey look and the three inverters will now be a total waste. |

Olarewajub: Merry Christmas everyone,
One of my tubular battery water levels is down. I watched several YouTube videos and found out it's a DIY.
Is there any reason why I should not do it myself?
Also, the second battery's water level has not reached the red mark. Do I need to top it so both batteries hit the green mark? You can do it yourself. Top up with distilled water to green mark. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by omotoda(m): 4:08pm On Dec 15, 2024 |
Kintowi: Just 6 months. That's strange.I have 2 units of tubular that clocked 3 years in October and it is still going very strong and it isn't even connected to solar.You need to investigate why the electrolyte dried up because even at 6 months you should just be about topping with distilled water and it would even be little.What is the brand of tubular in question? There are a lot of useless tubular batteries in the market now.Mi me is Haus Strom though and I know their products are very good.Having to top of with 10 litres of distilled water means you have practically no electrolyte left.Battery is gone.Whats the name of the battery? |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by omotoda(m): 1:07pm On Dec 15, 2024 |
fuckboys: morning Chief, please why's my charge controller reading the battery voltage different from the inverter reading of the same battery ?
Multimeter reading of battery at the terminals of battery also different from both the inverter and charge controller, please any explanation for this?
They all different by 2 units, multimeter would measure 13.6 while inverter 13.4 and charge controller 13.2. Difference in calibration of the items |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by omotoda(m): 1:05pm On Dec 15, 2024 |
Kintowi: Please help, pros in the house. Tubular battery water ran dry. Initially, battery wasn’t getting charged thru the grid any longer due to failed grid switch But it was getting charged cy the solar panels. Was getting depleted and discharging quickly at night.
Just topped up with 10 ltrs of distilled water, got a surge protector and it charged via grid to 12.5v during the first night and after that only charges through solar panel and discharges from 13.4 to 12.1 without even any load or usage. Grid also doesn’t work again even though it shows cgjarging indicator light at night.
I have not used it for 3 days and it is still at 12.5v. How long jhave you been using the battery? Battery most possibly gone bad! |

eghos12: As you can see from the manual the total voltage that can brake the controller is 190v. Even if you think it In a lay man point of view will powmr create a controller that will work well with 150v in some settings and get burnt in 105v settings when they both use the same Hardware I get the point now.Then poster has no.problem.If 3 panels with VOC of about 36v are giving combined VOC of 95v instead of 108v ,its still okay.You.must make provision for loss of efficiency and voltage drop.Perhaps you should post the pics showing current generated by the panels from.the CC |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by omotoda(m): 8:29am On Dec 01, 2024 |
eghos12: Sir the max voltage of powmr 60A CC is 150v(for the old models). The charging profile is where changes occur for 12v is max 600w for 24v 1200w for 36v 2160w and 48v 2880w. This are the supply powers to the battery.what the guy should do is to take a test first for his panels, reading the voltage and amps coming from the connected array, to know if they are connected properly. The max of 150v is for 36v and 48v set up.Please carefully read your manual.

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by omotoda(m): 2:39am On Dec 01, 2024 |
luvlyoracle: I use a powmr 60amps mppt charge controller connected to a 24v system I used 3panels of 280w voc of 39v in series but it’s generating max 63w What could be the cause? You have exceeded the Max VOC rating for a 24v set up for PowMr.The max VOC is 105v.You can't go beyond 2units of 280w in series for a 24v set up.You are lucky your CC hasn't fried. What brands are your panels? I am sure they are not up to the rated capacity that's why your CC hasn't burnt! |

josephsm823: My 2016 toyota highlander car Ac had issues and the AC technician replaced some parts and forgot to clip the radiator hose. My car overheated on the high way and it started complaining of Camshaft timing after scan. Camshaft changed two different times and it didn't work out. the stupid mechanic removed the engine metal claiming it is the culprit making the grinding sound on cold start and the grinding sound still persist on cold start though car engine is running fine but camshaft check light is on.
Should I plan on buying a new engine since the metal had been replaced? though the mechanic said he replaced with original metal.
Please my Boss GAZZUZZ, Kingreign and others I need advice 🙏 That engine I believe is the 2GR variant.It hates overheating. Just save towards changing the engine.All these mechanics are just something |
