Good evening house. I'm planning on getting an inverter battery for a 1kva setup tomorrow. How much can I get a lifePo4 battery for this need?

Second asking this.

somebody02:
Good day house.
Please I need help with 500w-800w inverter
And the best 12v 150ah/200ah battery.
Just something small.

Something similar to this thread without the solar panel.
https://www.nairaland.com/6868224/how-managed-light-situation-apartment
Please I need recommendations.

Yesterday, when I visited that thread, was the first time I would be seeing that type of inverter. Apparently it is not very common and you may have issues with getting support and first-hand experiences from people who may have used it.

Also, since you are on a budget, I will advise that you get a modular system with stand-alone components. This will give you as much flexibility as possible, especially when you need to upgrade. This inverter system thing is a journey. You will keep modifying your system as your needs vary.

How soon do you need the inverter? I am expecting some 1000w (peak, and 500w continuous) and 1,600w pure sine transformerless inverter in a week time, and their prices promise to bep affordable.

If you wish to add a solar feature, I could throw in my new 60A PWM Solar Charge Controller you can start with for a measly 10k.

I won't advise you to buy his type of battery though. Go for something better.

Sometime recently a member @En0uwem of this forum had a problem with his solar setup not charging well and not serving him as expected, he reached out to perform audit at his site

It was discovered his Kartel inverter consumed up to 240W while inverting and his base loads were hovering between 700-800W, from calculations it is noted that his daily usage had taken the energy generated by the panels leaving him with little energy by days end.

We were able to
1. Add extra panels to allow for more charge time and load provision via self consumption
2. Allow increased airflow and optimised the solar panel angles
3. Arrange the DC terminals to charge and discharge equally
4. Protect the setup against surge arising from lightning
5. Introduced OCPD and a means of shutdown in cases of fault or mainteance

Now the setup has seen improved charge time and usage

our Team will like to thank you for the hospitality and attention given to us while with you.

That is a job well-done.
You seem to have an eye for details and that is a good thing for an RE Installer.
Keep it Up Sir.

Would the 1600w come in 24v?

Would the 1600w come in 24v?

Sadly, no. All our inverters are 12v for now. Our model, for now, focuses on people on a budget. We will scale up from there...

Not using HA I think @Ceasar does

@Ojesky,

Thank you so much for your guidance on the Node-Red Configuration. You are really a nice gentleman. You have really saved me time and energy and made it simple for me. My critical appliances are now turned off at the configured threshold thereby protecting my battery. In addition, i can now throw more things at it when the sun is really shinning. Solar Energy is the best.

Cheers.

gadgetplanetng:
Reasons why I would go for them over Tubular are:

1. They charge faster, can take much more charging amps
2. They last for roughly 10x cycles more (all things equal, they would still be running when an equivalent Tubular is due for replacement)
3. Consume less space and can be indoors as they don't vent acid
4. They are lighter to move about
5. I'd rather just monitor voltages and parameters on my screen than do this in addition to monitoring acid level.

cool although I'm more concerned but the capacity duration in par with tabs

Ok

If you would prefer an MPPT charge controller, we have a 60A Powmr solar charge controller going for 52,000 firm.

Prices may go up anytime, and without notice

ceaser:


You're still getting it wrong. LFP is not complicated, Felicity messed up by declaring wrong capacity, firstly; and secondly the BMS that failed isn't a nail in the coffin of the battery itself. It's just to replace the darn thing and work goes on.

As per the battery that died after 5 days, aside from the fact that the person may have abused the battery, a more plausible and likely reason is that Felicity did a bad job in the battery. If such company can declare false capacity, then I wouldn't take it past them that they could as well package rubbish/substandard stuff in that battery that failed.

That being said, no amount of Felicity fails will make me romance lead acid again except maybe for small jobs and experimentations. I like the freedom and rest of mind I have from nursing a battery as if I'm nursing a patient on bed, ensuring it gets the yèyé periodic equalisation or getting worried if it's unable to achieve float in any one day. You will even need to be giving some distilled water as if it's one ancestral diety that receives palm oil drops and libation, haba! s'ógun l'ayé ni?

And well, I just took delivery of two more 24v/105ah from a 9ja DIY supplier, one for me use and the other for a friend who also got interested in switching to LFP after his lead has served a little above 2 years. Well packaged even if not at a seeminly industrial look like the Felicity's but not bad nonetheless.

Like someone said, if we are to have only battleborn (hear the name sef sound like war, na only warriors like earthrealm fit buy am) available, the closest majority of us would still have gotten to LFP is to discuss it. And even though I can manage to, but I would feel imprudent putting that much down on a product whose price is probably overrated because it's not widely available and because it's from the west.

Were can I get lifepo4 battery

Very, very true.

I have been underutilizing my setup before but with node red, my ACs work even at night and only go off when the threshold is breached and keeps the battery healthy. Before, I will be checking and turning appliances off through the internet but now, its done automatically. Solar is sweet

Please can you direct me to resources to achieve this. I am very interested. Thanks.

@ameh99 also seem to have affordable ones but I have not bought from him before

gadgetplanetng:


I use LiFePo4.

I'd rather use x1.5 if I want to use a factor but for peace of mind I use the same size.

It's not advisable draining LiFePo4 to 0% regularly (sometimes you drain your phone/laptop and it doesn't come on anymore)

Rule of Thumb for Lithium to last long is Charging[b] to 80%[/b] and draining to 20% (usable 60%) which is a bit more than the ideal usable 50% of Lead Acid.

90 to 10% or 100 to 20% is much more like it. The lower boundary is more critical than the upper boundary. If you are doing 80% on LFP, an equivalent of LA won't be 50% but rather 30% DOD

Thanks to master J for providing this natural source of energy otherwise gas and phcn would have caused more havoc

I've an app on my phone that doesn't let me charge above 80%.

I actually do about 80% to 50% on my own batteries, I hyper-sized for my load but knowing I can do 20/10% if it gets critical is re-assuring

https://news.umich.edu/tips-for-extending-the-lifetime-of-lithium-ion-batteries/

Minimize the amount of time the battery spends at either 100% or 0% charge. Both extremely high and low “states of charge” stress batteries. Consider using a partial charge that restores the battery to 80% SoC, instead of 100%. If that’s not possible, then unplug the device as soon as it reaches 100%.
Samsung and LG suggest that their phones should be recharged when they reach a 20% state of charge.
