I've been using normal pressing iron on my 5kW Deye for several months now, a pressing iron is a resistive load and I don't see any reason why an appropriately rated inverter should not comfortably carry it.

I have 8 units of this Green Kapital 230ah batteries for sale.
Owner is relocating.
Batteries are about 2 years old. Only used for lighting points, Tvs and 1 deep freezer ( only during the day with panels charging)

I have been using my 5kva hybrid inverter to cook, iron,pump since 2021. No issues. 5kva have enough headroom to power those loads talk more of an higher capacity inverter. Don't on all the loads at once. Whatever you do, do it at your own discretion....your inverter can power those loads easily.

Good morning everyone

Abeg why is it that inverter installers always tell you not to use pressing irons? They never offer any meaningful explanation.

My inverter is a 5.5KVA with 4 batteries (12v 220AH)

Note: I've used a pressing iron and air fryer on the inverter without any issues but I sometimes wonder if I'm low key damaging the inverter.

Thanks

Juror:

What's your battery chemistry, specs and panels capacity.

Juror:

Where they drained?

tsiriman:


28kWh DIY lifepo4 batteries made up of 2units of 48V 280Ah lifepo4 banks.
Panel capacity is 6kW.

They are playing safe, usually cos majority of owners aren't so knowledgeable or the installer himself. The weakest link is usually the battery...

A dry iron consumes btw 800watts to 1400w, while a steam iron between 1600w and 2500watts.
Now if you have 4 batteries, you may escape damage to the batteries if using dry iron. Of stated wattage range above., But steam iron will likely damage the battery.

Always have the c/10 rule at the back of your mind when using lead acid batteries.

Lithium batteries on the other hand has no issues with load and can do 1c, though 0.5C is the norm.

C in this scenario is capacity of the battery in AH

Juror:

Damaging your batteries not your inverter, except you're using it during high yield solar period of the day.

vta2008:


The pressing iron uses around 850W max according to my wattmeter.

The 4 pieces of tubular battery are setup to make a total of 24V 440AH.

How do I avoid damaging the batteries? Thanks

NOTE: I mainly use the dry pressing iron and oven when the solar panels are at their maximum output of about 800W

This quote reeks of cheap and inferior products.

Your batteries and panels especially. Tell him to get you better products. If you can't afford it yet, it's better you chill and save more.

Has anyone used afriipower inverter? What is your experience like? I’m about to purchase one

Juror:


You're simply just diverting from the main issue by bringing up history which you also profited from.

This particular case is simple. He required that you deliver the battery by a timeframe which you didn't meetup with (either your fault or not), yet you want him to suffer on two counts, his integrity because he couldn't deliver to the hospital which was a life threatening situation, you want him to lose funds after he has found an alternative.
You could've simply returned the battery back to the main seller you sourced it from or even try to pacify your customer and reach an agreement which wouldn't allow the matter come here but it looks like you don't always really seem to care about your end users, they must always take the fall, especially when money has changed hands.

This is quite cheap, and what is classified as a cheap install here.

Are the panels used?.....it's better to get a quality panel than plenty half-baked, overated panels.

Pojomojo:
What's this?

herrlekan:


what you see is what you get. IYDGIFAI

earthrealm:


the c/10 is same where you apply it singly or cumulatively. c/10 of 440ah is 44amps, so you shud try to keep ur total running load below this at sundown/no sun periods...multiply this by the system voltage to get about 960watts. ie 24v x 44ah.

the iron of 850watts wudnt damage your battery.....i even use a steam iron of 1200w on my 4 flooded batteries...no issues. this is because the thermostat of the iron regulates the load..heats for 60secs or so and turns off..n cycles again. am sure the battery might hv gotten damaged, if it was a constant 1200 watts draw..like sumo/ac etc.

pls the quality of battery plays a big role as thicker plated batteries are more durable. 2ndly flooded batteries are tougher n recover from abuse better than the normal dry cells. find below my ranking of batteries

lifepo4 >>> 2v 600ah and above cells >>>>>> flooded battery/AGM >>>>>>>>>Other sealed battery types

Hello house which of these solar panel charge batteries during rainfall, Monocrystalline or polycrystalline. Thanks
