JoeSef0:
I have this mopower 1.7kva inverter and a 220ah tubular haustrom battery. After fully charged with either PV or electricity, the battery drops 2 bar out of 5 bar in the charge controller screen that's without load, just inverter. Battery is just 6-7 months old and I've been experiencing it since installation. I want to know if this is normal.
It was charged full last night. The inverter screen indicated it was fully charged. But while nepa took light the bar and voltage dropped.

Check each cell's electrolyte level with hydrometer

I've been playing around on Facebook Marketplace. To be honest, the prices are cheap in dollar but our exchange rate is terrible.

Got an offer for a PS4 with 2 controllers and 6 games for $200. I got some nice watches too, but when price is converted to naira, I think it's on a high side.

Can't wait for the OP's on how to get the best exchange rate so I place my first order. I'd like to test this as soon as possible.

If price was on the high side in 2021, how about now?

my 3kva satchet inverter de struggle to start 100 watt fridge o

Lol.

Sometimes I used to wonder if I made mistake buying hybrid UPS/W-UPS inverter instead of sachet inverter at trippled cost of sachet inverter

But then, seeing these kind of experiences on sachet inverters eh

jikaseo:
Hello house, I have a 5kva/24v felicity inverter, a 60A PowMr solar charge controller, two Vitra 12v220a tubular batteries and four 300W panels. I noticed that using with from around 11am with my freezer, TV and two fans, the system goes off before 9pm even when I put off the freezer before 4pm. I expected to have at least 18hrs with this setup which is less than 3months old, but I'm disappointed with the results. I intend to add two more 300w panels, please would this help increase how much supply time I get from this system? Any advise will be welcomed.

Have you taken the batteries for electrolyte test?

Maybe the electrolyte level inside them are low. Take the batteries to people that charge battery or so... They'll use a kind of syringe to test the weight of electrolytes in each cell. If low, they will pour everything out, mix with fresh electrolytes again to required level, pour back into the battery and charge for about 6 hours.

If the plates In your battery are still good, the batteries should pick up well again

Continue searching for a man that would tolerate your disrespect .. se na 41 you dey now ?

Just look at these words...

if you can’t give me that protective energy that allows me to respect you. I cannot be with a man that I don’t respect.

“If you can’t earn my respect then we cannot be together. What’s the point! If you get to a point where the man starts to disrespect you, that means you have brought yourself down to a point where I begin to talk back at you, I begin to disrespect you

No man that see this with his eyes wide open well marry her except he's very stupid

Your daughter warned you. Despite the warning you still went ahead with the slide

You go warn them, den no go hear word, after experiencing tough times when will come out to lament and blame other people

Jewessgratitud3:
I told him my boss is frustrating me he said I should not worry that they know him. This man told me to leave the job before he uses my star. He then told me to wait that he's coming. He went into his office and brought out huge amount of money and said my daughter take. Go and manage this until you get another job. I thanked him was ready to dump their work.

Something happened. He asked me if I received a fax from Japan, I said no. He then said it's because I didn't get to the office in time when the fax was ringing to speak with the Japanese man and to fix paper in the machine that was why I missed the message and he said the manager should give me a sack letter. I got to Ikoyi branch, took the letter and signed the photocopy.

He called the manager and was asking what was my attitude when I received the letter, that one said ko tie bother. He said "omo geh yen, o ti stubborn ju. They didn't know I was behind a partition hearing them. I just laughed and left after they climbed upstairs.
That was how I escaped.

Meanwhile, the other staff there told me he once dated his former secretary and impregnated her. She had two children for him and developed breath cancer, this man abandoned this lady in her mother's house and took his two sons from her.

Under 3 mins a CRV drove into the compound and the lady entered with the two kids he had for the man.

If the man is really wicked, he'll have used the children's stars already too.

That's why some of those chairmen have so many children.. 14-15 .. from different women.

People will see it as promiscuity. Na when the children grow up den go hear am

You don't have to get told that women and money are two entities that can't be separated.


I posted apostle Suleiman's message about marrying a girl that's going to take him as a retirement benefits and how he can't marry a woman that depends on a man for everything.


All the guys on my contact list smiled and all the women came after my head.

You're immediately a potential husband when you have money.... But you're a mere guy when you have nothing.

You are absolutely correct, the Breaker will do the job. As for the battery level. I think the battery volt is where they expect us to know the battery level because the one I have doesn’t show any thing related to battery level and it has only one button(power) also, there’s a particular section of the display that shows

Battery volt 24.6
Load 003%

I read somewhere battery can be at 11v(drained) and up to 13v(charged). I might be wrong.

According to someone here, battery level should but be allowed to go below 11.4 volts

fbtowner:
I just feel a little uncomfortable to have something still on while I’m out. I could be out for days. I will just find a connector I can use to unplug the battery if I’m going out for long.

I don’t really like the product as you can’t even know your battery level. I was looking for luminous but it was too expensive then the guy persuade me to buy this smarten.

Thanks.

Battery level dey show, though it used to intermittent with other details. But I must confess, I don't like the dull yellow mono-color interface & Only one button to press.

Just put a breaker between the battery and the inverter. 3-5k should suffice. If you will not be indoors for long, turn down the breaker switch to cut off power from the battery completely.

fbtowner:
Hello chief. Please I also have the smarten 2.5kva 24v but my display light on the inverter never goes off. Even if I off the inverter the display is always on. Please is that the way it is

I haven't really used my inverter like that. Only bought it out of box for testing once. Even with single 12v battery, it will come on, but it will not output current

So far it's connected to a battery, the light doesn't go off. Na 24v nah. So you shouldn't worry about idle consumption. If it's 12v you can be worried

bassdow:
by now, was expecting someone to have be willing to take up the task of assisting you put things together in case you don't know how.

Wire type clarified.

I have electrician friend. He was the one that helped me couple the system. Though he does more of new construction house wiring and old TV/DVD repair

I will show him your response.

Thanks so much

bassdow:
1. Buy a used 300W mono-Solar Panel (at least 4pcs).

3. Buy a USED charge controller of better quality. PWM would work for you, just ensure you buy one of better quality.

5. Please don't buy expensive cables, that wire that NEPA / PHCN cuts whenever you fail to pay your bills is more than enough. I have used it for companies, and use it personally myself. What's more, that Igbo man selling electrical things down the street sells it.

6. You continue using your UPS as inverter.

7. Don't buy anything else called accessoory, especially to install thhe solar panels on the roof or whatever. I rrarely need those things, except when working on specialized roofs.

with the above, you no longer need thhe USB ports as things would work well.

1. Working on it now

3. I'm not sure used charge controllers are
available around here.

New 40a PWM is 27k here and 80a PWM is 40k. I don't think I can get used quality charge controllers here unless I order from Lagos.

5. Very funny. .. to think I spent about 25k on 6mm flex cables. Old Nepa wire plenty for den office in the village. Den fit dash person for token.

7. Having spent much already, It may take time to source funds to put 4 panels together. Will be adding one by one as funds permit

Still on 5.. do you mean those naked Nepa wire without outer insulation?

dacool1:
Since it's for a charging station, you could have simply bought those car chargers and connect them directly to the batteries. I use it at home and trust me they are pretty fast.

You didn't plan well. You don't need the inverter. You could have simply bought more panels.

Well nothing spoil. Carry out your feasibility studies you might need to dispose the inverter to get more panels.

You didn't plan well. You don't need the inverter. You could have simply bought more panels. I admit, but Experience is the best teacher.

Like bassdow said, In Life, you hardly could eat Your Cake and have it back. you either Spend MONEY or Spend TIME or Spend both MONEY & TIME

Since it's for a charging station, you could have simply bought those car chargers and connect them directly to the batteries I dey fear make e no spoil people phone.

For now will use the connect USB hubs together and plug the female and into the USB port of the charge controller like bassdow suggested earlier. I think it should suffice. If more load comes in, then I can turn on the UPS to supplement it

[quote author=bassdow post=127291051][/quote]Why would you buy a USB 3.0 ? That one is super expensive. USB 2.0 with four hubs is 4k but 3.0 with 4 hubs is 5k and more robust in quality, so I opted for 3.0

A USB hub of 10 ports and above should cost anywhere starting from 5,000 naira depending on your state of residence. I haven't seen that one before, even online on konga/jumia, the ones I've seen have 4-5 USB ports. I stay far from state capital so access to tech market is not readily available. Only two shops have USB hubs in the whole town.

how exactly did you end up with a Pure 24-volts inverter, and 1pcs of 12-volts battery ? actually wanted to do a 24v system and tubular due to their advantages. Then subsidy was hurriedly removed & dollar was going up crazily. So I had to think fast with the funds I had on me. So I thought to buy the inverter and a tubular battery and keep first pending when funds come to buy another battery but expected funds didn't come so I was stuck.

I have no regrets on the purchases Sha. The inverter I bought 137k that time now cost 200k. If I had hesitated a while longer, I would not have been able to do anything now cos inflation would have devalued the savings badly.

in your useCase, the inverter's role is to stepDown (reduce) output of the battery. can you imagine? It's annoying suffering in misdt of abundance. The irony and embarrament is much.

get as many devices with USB ports as possible, or buy USB hubs and if you could get hold of at least 20 USBs wether harvested, or in USB hubs, I would put you through on what to do. You might need an electrician (probably an assistant or one who's less busy enough to consider you) to put them together. It's very simple. not a problem, paddy paddy electricians dey. Kindly permit me to enter your DM.

About selling the 24v inverter, I don't know if I will jam money again. If I do na to just buy two small AGM or GEL batteries dey use am for house. Even if I am able to sell it at reasonable price, wetin person wan use 150-180k do in this Tinubu economy? So I say make I keep am.

Thanks so much for your time and responses. I appreciate you mightily

bassdow:
if you're in the Business of charging Phones, means you need to charge more than just 2 or 3 phones.

Make una dey make una questions clearer abeg because Had you said this earlier, wouldn't have given you the response I gave you earlier even though that would work, it wouldn't help your situation.

My solution earlier, wouldn't favour you because what you need is way more than 10 USB ports and it involves some technicalities which a Young electrician could help you with.

What I would suggest is, either gather bad chargers and harvest it's USB ports OR buy a USB extension that has anywhere from 10 USB ports and above. If you could have anywhere at least 20 USB ports, I would help you with what to do.

But why Not Kukuma just buy inverter and Use that instead. Maybe add more solar Panels, rather than stressing yourself.

Boss no vex. I thought some hints from you would suffice was why I asked that way. The shop is in early stage so spending overwhelm me. Bought chargers and USB hubs as you said (one 3.0 USB hub 4 ports is 5k here) those things are expensive. Just 5-6 chargers and hubs and USB cables and you've spent hundred thousands. I have inverter but it's 24v and only 1 tubular battery. Funds for another battery didn't come through so I've been using 650va Bluegate ups as inverter

Having spent so much already, 12v sachet UPS are above my budget now (65k) or to buy more panels. I no get that kind money na why I dey reason to bypass inverter and charge directly from battery.

Obnoxious2001:
U will need a special circuit to achieve this..

What kind of circuit please?

Will appreciate a picture or name.

Thanks 🙏

bassdow:
should you do this, the entire panels would work at the rating of the lowest which is 150w. In other words, that 300watts panel amoneg them would become the equivalent of 150watts.

same happens if they were batteries, or PC ram.

in other words, it's not adviceAble

How about if one try this?

It's the charger that will blow, not the phone


Used to do this with a phone (car) charger the.type you plug into the cigarette lighter port. They are usually 12v

Had those crocodile clips that come with generators to connect the 12 V car battery to the charger.

NB that was a loooong time ago, I was young and foolish in school

Funny.

But the real reason I asked is cos I'm into phone charging biz using solar.

My PV array is very small and using inverter UPS and plugging so many chargers into the it is stressing the battery.

That's why I was wondering if there's a way I can open a charger and soldier wire from maybe charge controller to the chargers motherboard board and and it'll charge phones without hassles so I don't have to use inverter again

Cc: bassdow

bassdow:
if your chargeController have USB port, make uuse of that .

I'll go with this. Thanks 🙏

bassdow:
.

Got a queer question please.

Is there any way to connect/soldier a UPS or car battery directly to the motherboard of regular AC phone chargers and it'll work?

I want to charge phone directly from battery bypassing need for inverter, but there fear the battery may blow the phone

I meant how on earth could the husband pull that stunt on her when the money was not withdrawn once.
All I can say is that the woman is too careless because she must have noticed that trait in her husband long ago. So,she should have done something drastic like constant changing of Pin or even destroying the card permanently.
This is her life savings for goodness sake.

Fountainofyouth see what I'm saying

Fountainofyouth:
So the man's evil behaviour is the wife's fault, but if reverse was the case this thread would have been on its 12th page filled with insults of women generally, continue to excuse the wickedness of a grown asś man as usual, the rest of you are no different.

We're not making any excuse for the man.

We're just saying she should have known the kind of person she is married to (according to ahnie, he's not been responsible) and applied caution appropriately.

Anyways Sha, e don happen, let her move on.

But we're not defending or making excuse for the man. He deserves to rot in jail if the narrative is true

Fountainofyouth:
So all men wey dey thief na yahoo dem dey do? They ones wey dey rob at night, come home and tell their wives say na night security jobs or another excuse dem dey do, na yahoo be that? And you went to school

Well, women and accountability are opposite.

Everyone is responsible for the choices they made.

If the choice turns out to be fine, okay.

If the choice turns out to be bad, we accept responsibility, learn and move on and not blame the other party.

Shifting blame for bad choices made is one of the things women do
