I will recommend Growatt hybrid inverter of 3KVA
with its features and low idle makes it a good buy for budget considerations.

Other ideas are welcome

Well, some of us may not know what the original looks like before now except via it's performance. But after this, most are more enlightened. But the dealers should know what they are selling is fake. We shouldn't always blame the victims, the blame should always be directed to the appropriate quarters- the perpetrators.

You are both right in ur respective ways:
You: "....many folks don't know d fake from d original..."
Him: "...u should do ur own reseàrch b4 purchasing items ......"

The fact that most of those guys - traders - have litlle or no conscience and won't bate an eyelid in ripping u off whenever d opportunity arises is d more reason one should do his homework b4 stepping into their 'den'.

Las-las go to d market with an electronics technician who knows d 'liver and kidney' of d item(s) u wish to buy to avoid stories that touch.

Its possible, using high C rate lithium cells, and grid charging, doubt panels could put back energy taken out in a short while.

Major problem would be vandalization.
I saw a clip , where people were pilfering metal gratings used ona public drain.. they came in the dead of the night with a tricycle

If they can vandalize rail track as heavy and tight the fittings are, I guess charging stations will be child's play.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
You probably want a gas or diesel engine and DC converter as your power source - the engine fires up on demand and may save some excess energy into a Lithium battery pack for later use.

The economics of Solar powered EV charging in a small footprint simply do not make sense to me when I take a cursory look.

I actually think it's a possibility to charge using panels. Just enough panels will be required and high power DC-DC converter. There is one (DC-DC converter) that I worked with. It has a max boost of 96v and 10 amps - that's 960 watts. It's connected to a 320w 36v single solar panel and a 48v DIY 18650 pack. There are days I got up to 240w output from the panel.

The DC-DC converter is advertised to be used for charging ebikes, so I guess a powerful enough boost converter and solar panels should be able to handle daylight charging of an electric vehicle of 250v nominal. And except the input power is something close to what you get from real charging stations, then one must be prepped to wait two to three hours to get the batteries full before taking the vehicle out.

The question now is that of charging for that long during the day something that is supposed to be used majorly during the day.

I disagree the buyer knew the parallel price. The gap is huge. It is a nigerian thing, he let his guard down because he wanted to be smart.
And alaba boys played their part by providing you what you seek period.
It has been stated many times on this forum becareful most of these marketers don't have shops ,but collect and market this items.
Alaba is a place where genuine products exist ,but along side many fake. If you can't go your self personally be prepared for such stories .
No be today,

That's the reason why a small solar array can't deliver, a typical charge time from low to full of an electric vehicle normally should not exceed an hour. So high current charging source is desirable. Deye for instance can do 190A charge at 48v but the panels required to achieve that isn't a small something

i nearly fell for this, when i was shopping for an inverter AC, most LG inverter Ac in Nigerian Market are fake.(expect from fouani or trusted LG distributors)
i have to later settle for a london used Samsung inverter AC and it has been performing well ever since i filled gas and installed it.
the price difference with alaba/most electronics shop inverter AC 1hp prices always hovers around 100k to 140k, while fouani and other accredited dealer sells @162k and above.
but callmenuel, u no try oo. there is specific need. when an inverter user needs an inverter AC, u should have told him the difference in price. this 127k inverter AC u are marketing is fake and u know it!

I indeed fell flat for the scams on LGTV in one of the TV threads on the TV section, dealing with one Acunon guy like that. Of course what attracted me to the TV was the apparent power efficiency not minding the fact that it was fairly used. Plus the touted claim by the guy that fairly used foreign (Europe) TVs generally including the ones he sells are much more energy efficient and better than the new models sent down to Nigeria by the original LG manufacturers themselves. In fact he claims that European and US version of all TV manufacturers are far better than the versions sent to Africa and Nigeria from the same manufacturer because of the laxity of our standard organisations; a claim which made sense of course.

And so I saw this 42 inch model he advertised as 2019 edition and the specs he claimed were so inviting. I googled it and boy, I read more attractive specs. It's a smart TV with much more specs than a 60 inch Hisense smart I've had for 2 years which I thought was a great hit.

Sent him 85k and I must confess I was already imagining the smart life I was gonna have with this stuff. I was gonna be able to Netflix, browse the net and watch music videos at night with Bluetooth earphones on without disturbing wifey's sleep, WiFi direct, sorround sound etc.

Third day, it arrived and I was shocked! See scratches here and there. And I was like WTF! I read some reviews from sellers that the TVs he sent to 'em were as good as new, so what on earth was this?

On further examination, I saw clear signs (screw holes and labels and plastic edges) that indicated this thing was worked on. The model number on the sticker was even different from the model number on the damn screen!

Okay, I convinced myself that as long as the internals provided me with what I wanted, I can live with the flaws of the outside.

I come start to Netflix o, na in I get another shocker. Netflix was just blurry video. Okay lemme mirror my phone, same blurry response on the TV screen. Ah! Wàhálà dey. I come start to dey Google diagnostics on day one of purchasing a TV. Suggestions showed that either the screen resolution of the TV was incompatible with Netflix or my phone's 1080p movie resolution. Sho! For a Full HD TV! This pointed to the fact that the screen may have been replaced with a 720p type. Another is that the board may have been replaced with one that does not support that full 1080p resolution.

I contacted the guy and he was telling me some technical stuffs that weren't so convincing, me being a tech geek myself but I still tried to believe him with the hope that things will be good. I updated the TV to the latest firmware as he suggested but the nonsense no stop. After updates, the buttons of the included remote decided not to work accordingly.

To cut a long story short, the TV was indeed useless to me, so he asked me to send it back and being a meticulous person, I packed it veeeery well and included more protective layers than he sent it down with.

Dude called me after and claimed that the TV I sent back now had a line on one side of the screen. How does a TV develop such within 72hrs for goodness sake? Well, all I just aimed at was getting back the money even if not in full. So I settled for 55k payback from this dude (that's 30k less within 5 days). I was pissed with myself for expecting so much from such arrangement, so the following day out of annoyance I went to pick up a "made for Nigeria and Africa" android TV from a walk in shop for 132k and I've had rest of mind using it ever since.

What I learnt from that experience was that most fairly used and maybe new LG and few Sony products are easily repairable and imitated in the Nigerian market because of the high demand for such. In fact, fake and Chinese made replacement boards and screens for such abound in Alaba so it's quite easy for guys to couple boards and TV screens from different models into a casing from a totally different model and just slap a sticker from another desired model on it, then sell to unsuspecting victims like me. It's sad.

This story is fairly long, but it was a traumatic experience for me and I licked my wound in silence that time. This event by my friend here just unlocked the memory and I can really identify with his pain and disappointment too.

Valto:

I really feel the pain of Sintolord.

This dude claimed that because the TV now has lines on one side of the screen, I won't be able to get back the full money because it would have to be repaired or at worst a new buyer will buy it at devalued price.

Even if I use my money do MMM and lose thirty large in 5 days, I will be more satisfied than that irrationality I got myself into.

The bot banned me so I had to upload the screenshots of the comments.

samnaija:

I disagree, no one is a baby you should make your research your self before buying a product. Besides it was greed that brought the buyer to just emmanuel.
Every nigerian knows fouani is the original importer of genuine lg products, but he chose alaba boys because of price.
Warning only buy from alaba boys when you have done your own investigation. This is greed plain...just emmanuel don start.

Please you can't blame sinolord for this. Fouani does not have outlets all over Nigeria. Even their website online, the last time I checked about a year ago, does not have ease of making orders and delivery. So the next best places you can get their products is either on Fouani listing on outlets like Jumia or Konga or even accredited LG distributors/outlets (not Fouani) that dot the states of the federation. Such outlets themselves have listings on places like Konga, Jumia or Jiji which are also places of convergence for Alaba merchants, both fake and genuine.

I could have easily assumed that an Alaba merchant can also be an LG accredited distributor since it's not only Fouani that sells genuine LG products. This experience with Acunon was 7 months ago. The walk in shop I eventually got the android TV from is the same shop I got the Hisense smart TV from. I've purchased 2 different deep freezers from same shop, both serving well. I only needed a replacement TV for the bedroom hence my scouting around for something not too expensive. And I thought I could get a fair deal from that Acunon dude.

If a merchant in Lagos claims to sell genuine product and the price is 15 k or 20 k less than what it costs in places like Ondo, Ekiti, Enugu or Warri, it is easy to assume that the higher price is due to logistics down to such places. Therefore if it would take me to just spend 5 k to transport it down to such places and save 15 k, then why not.

JustCryptos:


Similar to this man's experience, I purchased a DC iron from Emmanuel sometime last year. I inquire about the hotness of the iron before making the purchase and he assured me that it was very hot.

Sadly, I made payment, had a lot of issues collecting the item from the transport company used, and finally tested the product. The performance was less than expected.

I chatted him up and his response was that o was the only one that had complained about the product and I shouldn't expect a DC iron to perform like an AC iron.

I wasn't seeking a refund. I was just not okay with the said product. The experience was indeed a terrible one. The iron has been in my box since then.

You should have made inquiries about the DC iron here. In fact it has been discussed severally on this forum and I can remember commenting on it. I bought one on Konga over three years ago and it has not been useful for one day. Most vendors here do not even have the least idea of the specs or performance of what they sell and even if they do, they'll rather hide the gloom and doom under a cloak of praise singing for the item in order to sell, which is their primary objective, your comfort and satisfaction coming in at a distant 100th objective. Hence, occasionally the workings of some items are best judged from personal experience, more like taking a blind leap and turning oneself to a lab rat. A recent example is the Felicity Lithium packs. So try to ask around here for someone who may have used such items before making decision to also get it. Here, we learn from one anothers' failures and pitfalls.

I will not lay the blame at the feet of the buyer, I too almost fell for that huge price discrepancy, but because of my familiarity with trading with Alaba sources I had to caution myself.
Last night when I read the bitter experience from the buyer I felt very bad, if he'd made his intentions known maybe someone here would offer a free review for him.

For sellers, we know it is not easy to have a first hand experience with every item in your cart, but please put yourself in your potential clients shoes, how would you feel if you found out you were offered less on the value you paid for?

Good day guys.
Please can anyone sell spares or replacement parts for this DC terminal. A friends inverter terminal is melted and kaput.
Any link or contact is welcome.

Unscrew, cut off burnt part with cable lock, buy new cable lock, crimp and install back.
Cable lock is about 200 naira for 20mm

Dont see justmenuel or most sellers on this forum having that type of waranty/after sales service.

Their first strategy is to try and blame you for the malfunction and later graduate to pleading, if they are boxed in a corner

I still maintain my claim, the seller cannot know everything in his/her cart.
As well as you have outright dubious guys in Alaba, so are others who fall victim either out of ignorance or grid for quick profit.
I worked in an electronics retail firm some years ago where we fell for this backdoor substandard appliances. What attracted my boss was the cheaper offer as against major distributors of Samsung and LG. The Alaba sources claimed all the brands are mass produced from same factory in China but the major distributors like fouani & Sims were ripping Nigerians off with their high prices to maintain their business profiles. The imitation was close to legit until you power the TV units here the difference is clear.
Fast forward to 6 months, we started to have returns........ Alaba guys don chop and clean mouth already. we were on our own.

However, the boss didn't stop buying, instead he sold at a lower price with a caveat of 3months warranty.

Though, this group being what it is, @justcallmenuel has to throw more light as to what happened in this case & ensure this is settled amicably. I don't subscribe to simply disregarding the complainant.

cheers you'll

Thanks for the prompt reply. Never knew the 24v 3.5kva Felicity inverter had editable dod settings. Thanks. On the fake on no fake issue. If it were a sane country, most Alaba shops should have been closed by now and our guy wet sell fake will be collecting hot breeze for prison now. Its a criminal offence.

I ask a lot of questions here so I can at least beat this dubious boys at their game.

I once almost fell for a trick in Alaba. I wanted to buy hiscense TV. We agreed on price. Only to test TV and its showing only black and white. They wanted to give me one lg TV as replacement. Called my guy in the market, told me its a lie, that I should collect the black nd white like that. Las las they did not want me to go with the so called black and white. They gave me my money back completely. They were angry we got the drift though.

Morale. If you want to buy correct electronics from Alaba, go with someone who knows his onions well else just buy from accredited Lg office.

What is not good is not good. I prefer going for big names that honor warranty. At least I will have so peace of mind. Just stay away for Alaba products as much as you can. A word is enough for the wise.

That dude you mentioned is a low-key scam artist. He knows how to take pictures of TVs to make it look inviting while the real deal is so bad you wonder if it's a different tv. Same dude sold TV to a guy I know and it arrived without remote. TV that was touted to be super flat screen appear like the energy guzzler LCD TVs of the early 2000's era. It was supposed to come with remote and he surprisingly "forgot" to add it. Quality of the TV is just poor. At best the owner had to go to a local dealership and got himself a tv. Ended up sending the scrap he sold as 2019 TV to the village. Did I mention that this same fraud waybilled this tv and somehow "forgot" to pay for it even though he has collected the waybill fee?

These days I won't advise anyone to buy tv from that dude or even try any "fairly" used tv as there is no fair deal with em. As usual he'll only read this review and disappear back to his thread without saying jack.

I don't even know where to start on the matter of fake stuff , it is really a hard one . I have come to realized that a lot of the TVs and other stuffs are fake and of low quality in Alaba. This year I have bought 3 used TVs from Alaba only from one seller and they all work very fine . Truth is you really have to know your stuff before buying them .Most london used Tvs always needs to be repaired in Nigeria so one has to factor that risk into your spending '

Please make we dey shine our eyes before paying or products .Those Alaba sellers are out to make money without any consideration

Wao, sorry for the experience, it's a very sad one. I was looking for a tv to buy about the time u did. I had bought LG tvs some years back, 2012-2015. All new from LG main sellers, in akure, Ibadan and Ogbomosho. Mine, 125k, my brother, 90k, my in law 85k and my flat mate, 100k. Reason I went all out for Lg was, I had one from UK, up till this moment, no stab or surge protector or anything. The tv is connected to mains 24/7 it goes off whenever there is power outages. Still working fine. So, back to the Lgs I bought, none survived the surge, or any irregular voltage, mind you, all was connected to stabs! Except the one from UK. Since then I vowed never to near anything labelled LG. Except the ones from UK or Europe. So I went in search of used Tv, my first stop was here, naira land, and I got to those threads, including the one u talked about. All they were posting and specs are not just adding up, including the pictures(mind you, women can't collect money from me, but electronics will), so before I pay, I do my research. That's was when I discovered that this guys in Alaba do couple this stuff together, though I do repair tv in Alaba way back, I know my people very well there. After none could convince me, I just locked up I went for Sony that nearly cost an eye

I'll like to think you mean 768WH. That's almost 1kwh. I would've said not too bad until I saw the inverter is a modified sine wave inverter. At least kudos for seller for showing all the works. Some will just mention that's it's a 12V 1kva inverter without stating the output waveform format.

My question is this, you mentioned lithium batteries. What type of lithium batteries? Li-on or lifepo4? Also, you did not mention the make of the cells? Or if they are brand new or cells built from discarded laptop batteries.

All these will allow us make assessment of how bad or good the deal is.

Got picture of setup? Please share.

I was in this situation once. Over tightened a lug and broke off the inverter terminal screw.

Scoured Arena Oshodi and all they had were old rusty cast aways and mostly didnt fit.

If you visit a service center for your mustpower brand, they are likely to have a pristine looking sample from a dead or abandoned inverter that they can sell to you.

In my case I drilled a snug hole in the broken terminal, passed a 16mm cable through the hole and crimped suitable connectors to both ends and bolted to the terminal from inside the inverter. This way you can bolt a cable from the battery onto the newly DIYed terminal.

The cable has to be very short so that the exposed terminal on the outside does not touch the chassis or opposite battery connection.
