It was lightning.

twosquare:
How come? Was it connected to the grid or solar panel when it happened?

How come? Was it connected to the grid or solar panel when it happened? Because I am wondering how lightning could have penetrated it.

Babatundehy:
The number one threat to any systme using solar panels to charge is the solar panel, lightning loves to take strolls through it 🫣 many reports of this happening, I advise to join the FB Ecoflow group for stories, hacks, tricks, and useful info.

Debroslink:
Solar panel. It was a Saturday and I went out. Heavy rain fell while I was away. Came back to meet a dead power station. I saw "short" written on it when I tried to turn it on. Sent an email immediately, and they came on Tuesday to pick it up. It was returned almost 2 weeks later in perfect condition. Since then, I learnt my lesson never to leave it plugged while going out for long hours.

Which product? You can connect via Bluetooth or add the device to your internet network.

I was feeling funky today. So because I live in a bungalow, I fetched a bucket of water and poured over my solar panel. This led increase in output of about 30Watts, having washed away the harmattan dust.

They delivered my solar panel this evening from Fouani.

Ọmọ, what you see is not what you get. I no know say that thing big like that and a bit heavy. The kain stunt I do today after they passed by my house, I no fit do am again on top okada

Hydronium:
Yeah. The thing is quite big. Had to charter a car eventually? Your location is Lagos, right?
After connection, Do update on the power input to your D2

twosquare:
No, Osun, Ifẹ̀. Okay. I'll update you when I do that. I'm yet to receive the Mc4 connection I ordered.

Hydronium:
Kai. I didn't know they did interstate delivery. Mind telling how much you paid for logistics?

oladele239:
How many watts is this and how much please

twosquare:
555 watts. Price: 125k + 15k delivery. Total= ₦140k

oladele239:
Pls send me purchase link via WhatsApp in my signature

Debroslink:
Don't buy cloud energy dc fan from jumia, it's more expensive. Type the name of the fan on Google and enter their eshop website. It's way cheaper and delivery option is available.

snezBaba:
Omo, those guys are beginning to move like scammers

Since Friday which I made the order, they have not sent it. One of the staff messaged me yesterday concerning delivery and nothing came out of it. Since then, they've not replied to my messages or picked my calls

Debroslink:
Which website did you use?

snezBaba:
/eShop.com.ng

Debroslink:
Na 4kup o. Are you're in Lagos? If yes, Na to go their office and bombard them with criticism.

National grid is down again...now my unit has been on since 9 till now...Can I be on the generator for about 7+ hours now and not cry? Anyway...solar is the way, portable ones are the future and now

oladele239:
How far bro have you connected your D2 to the panel
If so pls walk me through the cables I need to get apart from the panel itself.

Kindly send me a message via WhatsApp please.

My signature has my digits

Not yet; I am still awaiting the MC4 to XT60 Extension Cable I ordered from Temu. I think we mentioned it in past threads. This is the only cable you need: https://share.temu.com/oitxVarFCyA You can now add circuit breaker later when you are buoyant.

The how-to is in the ecoflow manual....easy peasy. Anyway, it is also on Jumia, but expensive. You can only get that of 1 metre on Jumia, and you may need more than that.

oladele239:
The highest I can see is 3 metres
300 cm that won't be enough for me though

Babatundehy:
Let's say your inverter somehow conveniently powers up this traditional compressor refrigerator of yours, how many hours will it stay on for with other loads especially from sundown till sunrise? Best thing to do is throw away your refrigerator and buy an inverter refrigerator, an inverter refrigerator is smart, energy efficient and they do start the compressor gradually, unlike your non inverter tech refrigerator, inverter refrigerators do not have a fixed running watts or starting watts, they will consume as low as 40 watts when it is already very cool inside, shut off when set temperature is reached, etc,
Your traditional refrigerator will have crazy start up watts and consume the rated watts for forever even if you have nothing in it and it is already very cool inside, it'll be a constant power draw like your 100 watts incandescent light bulb (after startup), sell it or throw it away.

snezBaba:
I've gotten the product chief. Bombarded all their SM pages and they took action finally

fuckboys:
Best advice, sold my fridge and bought this under a week.

My inverter will thank me for this gift.
