cylindrical lifepo4 will be better suited for the voltage type in 2s config, with BMS of course. 18650 in 1s had a voltage range of between 3.0v to 4.2v which is too low for the battery and 6.0v to 8.4v for 2s which will be too much for the fan. But lifepo4 2s will be between 6.0v to 7.2v which is perfect for your fan use
went online to check for the lifepo4 battery and understands its on 3.2v. My questions are (1) will the 18650 cell 6.0v to 8.4v cause any defect on the fan? (2) how much are the lifepo4 cell sold for? (3) the battery cell states 6000mah, so can we say just a cell can matchup the fan original battery

You will need between 2 & 3 in parallel to match the old battery's capacity, You can go with more cells to have longer runtime. Saw some batteries for sale on Jiji

thanks for ur assistance...but u didn't answer the number 1. If I chose to go for the 18650 cells will it spoil the fan? And the combination should be to connect 2 series to achieve 6 to 7v and any amount of batteries in parallel to achieve more AH

It may or may not spoil it, depending on the fan voltage tolerance level

sorry for the too many questions. How do I check for this tolerance? The fan is boscon 18inch rechargeable

A good place to start is looking at the capacitors inside, a clear picture will be good

Better still, you can use a boost converter to boost a 4.2v li-ion battery voltage to around 7v

direct from their office at ojota , got their number from their website gan gan, i wanted the hgl series HGL 200, they said its 135k, fat 175 is 125k, then i asked for the fat 160 and she said 115k but........they are currently running promo on fat160 ,its 105k promo price, me sef come think am, na only 40ah remain to be 200ah and that this brand new 160ah is far better and will give u more power and last longer than a fairly used 200ah, me and saint2ace chat tire on the matter, i almost bought a used ritar but thank God for him , he convinced me wella and i transfered money to their acct and ordered for a GOKADA dispatch and it was delivered to my office, na today i go carry am go house , i will connect it with all the street light wey dey my street and the next street, na me go supply them light for 3 days.......

I HAVE A SCRAP SUKAM 200AH BATTERY FOR SALE 20K FLAT PRICE

Boss.... WELL DONE o

I also got the the FAT 160Ah Full River based on your review the following week or so.

Wanted to know if it is still serving you well as mine has dropped its glove o as it no longer retains its charge for long.

Using today as an example, the battery got full around 2pm or so and right now, its already at 11.1V (inverter reading) or a bar (solar charger indicator) with a load of less than 100W (rechargeable fan and a mac laptop).

Is there a way to salvage the battery or do I need to get another one?

what's ur load?
was ur battery fully charged before first usage?
mine is still working very fine,
what kind of charger do u use for charging and how many amp is the charger
Re: How To Create A Locally Made Inverter With Ease by yurppy(m): 7:30am On Jul 10, 2022

Greet u too semid4lyfe
How many watts is the led TV (check the back of the TV)
U don't overload it or the battery won't last long.
U can plug the home theater dvd player to it but don't add the home theater woofer ,the woofer will drain ur battery fast.
Its only a 40ah battery, Do not overload it or unless u want to add more 12v 40ah battery to it , I Have been using it for 4 months now, the only newest thing I bought is the smart Charger which I bought last week,
If this is set up where there is no electricity can it be charged with solar panel and if yes what type of solar panel? Thanks

Max load is about 350W (two laptops, TV, decoder and a rechargeable fan).

When the sun is down, I switched to jst a laptop, a fan, and a led light (14w)

Suoer 20A charger and a 50A solar charge controller.

don't know what to say anymore, the way u use ur battery might affect it, e.g when ever there's no light and I have used my battery upto 12.1v or 12.0v, I put off my inverter, over usage might be the problem, if the battery no enter 0.0v we won't put off the inverter, I sent a link some months ago concerning this, if ur charger, inverter doesn't have the voltage calculator, get the device from oshodi, when there's no light,It reads the remaining voltage or power left in ur battery, we are in rainy season,so there's no much sunlight to charge,
if u were living close to me I would have borrowed u one of my desulfating charger to see if it will help, if u needed more time u should have bought more batteries and connected in parallel, but now it's late cos ur current battery is already gone and if u can't, manage what u have and it will last,if u use a battery power down to 11.v regularly, u will kill the battery

reducing ur load will help ur battery,
I have a 40 inch TV but I still got a small 15inch TV with lower watts, my big TV can be on , if I have visitors to show off to but asides that ,when there's no light my 15imch is on....na the same thing go show for screen , until NEPA brings back light, ur 14w bulb is how many? I have 6 led bulb In my house, I don't put them on unless I need it and they are 3w each, u laptop brightness and contrast can be reduced,as long as u can see the screen, it helps reduce the full watts of the device, including ur TV shouldn't be on full power, reduce brightness and contrast and colour and if ur battery nisnt upto a year since purchase, call them and see if it can be replaced, good luck

Boss, I try to maintain the 50% DoD most of the time. grin

And I usually charge it every night. D only load on it post gen is just a fan and my phones.

The times I don't charge it at night, the only load on it overnight is just my phones and a rech. fan.

The reason it got to 11.1v still got me perplexed cos there was no significant load on it overnight .. Just woke up to see it that way.

That being said, would getting a new 200ah work fine?

Try getting a lifepo4 battery instead when getting another battery. Do you usually get a full charge everyday?

Just one 14W bulb (panel led light).. The rest are less than 10W. And I only switch on one when working.

My battery should be 15 months now.

Yes.. By 2pm - 3pm, my battery is usually full except there's a heavy load on it.

How much is lifepo4 battery?

exceeded warranty, well.....mine is still working well, maybe ur charger cos I stopped using souer the day I discovered that if that charger smoke weed, it will start over charging or damaging batteries or like I said before, usage could have affected it, ur battery should go below 12.0v when there's no light to charge
