Please folks,
Lately I have keenly observed a pattern of discharge of my phone battery. I do charge at least 4x a week with my Neighbour's Solar System. He's using the SunKing 500x with 32inches tv set.

The rest of the days I charge the battery with Generator or any time those "agents of darkness" decides to come for their bill.

My phone battery discharges faster whenever I charge it with Solar but slower if charged with Generator.

Is it peculiar issue? Has anybody has similar experience? Is my phone under any threat from the solar stuff?
All these are technically and technologically illiteracy belief, your phone doesn't take electrical current directly from solar or generator it's the USB charger or type c charger adapter that charges your phone, it's like saying power bank damage battery phones it's a big fallacy and a lie , smart power banks these days has overcharge protection, over heat protection, voltage regulator same way most android chargers with know brand like Tecno infinix oppo vivo Samsung itel etc are safe to use to charge your device that's why phone manufacturing company would advise you use recommended chargers for your smartphones or devices nothing concerns solar system or generator in your phone battery not lasting longer, use a recommended cable and charger you are good to go , all these year's I have used smartphones I have never experienced battery issues because I use recommended chargers and original follow come cable , where I work I use solar to charge both my itel power bank and other devices, I have used even I pass my neighbors generator to charge my phone over two years now , even sound proof generators and lister generators .

NEPA has Alternating Current (AC) while Solar and Generators has Direct Current(DC).

And AC is far better and more stable that DC.

Same way they'll tell you generator damages battery. It's all lies.
It does especially if it's those tiger head tuke tuke generations. Only the larger ones are good for battery charging and other uses because they give full power.

Is your battery the factory fitted one? Don’t come here with China batteries to confuse somebody. Buy a new phone then try the experiment.

I have been using solar energy to charge my phones for over 5 years, I never noticed anything!

Wow. I guess I have to stop doing that now.

After Nepa comes generator, speaking long experience
solar and power bank ruins battery health faster.

It's all fallacies unless your solar system is of the lowest grade. May be you're using the lowest grade. Solar is one of the best form if electricity so check your solar system. If possible, upgrade.

na lie. As long as them Dey supply 220v, your observations are just a figment of your imagination.

It could also be that he's using the lowest grade solar system. Wack solar system can give such experience.

Check the voltage output of the generator. You might have lowered it to maximize your fuel. Hence the reason for slow phone charging.

Re: Phone Charging: Solar Vs Generator/disappointment (NEPA) by Ikenna977: 11:49am On Apr 01, 2025
I think about of you here is misleading the public with your informations real solar with pure sine wave inverter and battery gives you accurate voltage 220v against National grid that fluctuates. Generator is the worst can never be stable . As a matter of fact if you want any of your gadgets to last well I strongly advise the use of solar system. Thank you

sometimes somethings are lies you probably haven’t experienced it.. I’m one of those who never believe in those things until there epileptic power supply in my area. I don’t have generator so I had to pay at an outlet to charge my power bank the 50 thousand maH.. believe me my power bank go to zero from 30 percent on 2 occasions that I charged with the generator and with nepa light most time it’ll read to 0 person and since I e haven’t used that it either off at 5 percent of get to zero but with generator it offs from 30 percent

Big fallacy people needs to be educated properly if your phone battery is bad I will advise you to replace it rather than attributing it to solar charging
I wouldn’t have agree to this if I haven’t experienced and almost experimented it..

There is not like solar charging, just as nothing like low current statement commonly made when public power supply voltage is low

Solar system comprises

Solar panels

Hybrid or non hybrid pure sine wave inverter ( non hybrid cannot use solar panels without external solar controller pwm or mppt) that converts your inverted dc volts rated battery to stable non flicking AC volts, to power TV, home theater sound system, fridge or freezer,fan and low energy airconditioner, electric handheld tools, phone and laptop charging, lights, small microwave anything rated at 200 to 240volts.
Match your equipment accordingly with the rated kwh or kva value of your inverter.

Lithium, AGM, lead acid, flooded or smf batteries.
Proper gauge wires for connectivity between equipment and accessories.

Just say AVR built generator, they give good stable power

my low energy fridge works faster on my gen than electricity, strange but thats my long observation

Get a lithium rechargeable solar generator lithium is the same element that powers transformers used for power grids.
I supply most of the generators in town and they don't require panels they are rechargable through NEPA light and serve well without challenges.

It is not.

Talk about what you know.

What do you know about electricity, batteries, and what happens during the charging of a battery?

If stability of current and voltage isn't a concern, why is there 24/7 monitoring of these entities in power stations and the swift actions always taken to correct it to be very close or to the set value?

I use solar, I don't understand wat u guys are saying here.
Solar is excellent

Use inverter based solar system to charge your phone sir

Inverter convert DC to AC

DC charging is not as strong as ac

DC solar is different from inverter based solar system
Yes, it's better for him to charge from an AC outlet. Though, it's worth noting that phones charge on DC power, not AC. The main issue lies with the DC power output from the solar system and its conversion process.

If the DC power is properly converted to AC by an inverter, a standard phone charger can then efficiently convert that AC back to DC, ensuring optimal charging for the device.

Same thing with power bank too.

When charging, off the phone,don't use it, I use both solar and AEDC and still last as usual.
Re: Phone Charging: Solar Vs Generator/disappointment (NEPA) by omsglobal: 12:58pm On Apr 01, 2025
Very funny, what people say, so what about me that didn’t connect any nepa wire to my house? Since the past 6years all my appliances runs on solar, my 3 phones has been working every fine wether charged or discharged.

And some people will say nepa is the best light, you can only praise Nepa because of the capacity. But you cannot the electricity generated from solar to that of NEPA, a solar generate 220/230 pure sine wave,? Pure means all through the generation, you are getting a standard voltage all through. Can NEPA give you a standard 220v in full for 24hrs without up and down .

Is there any solar system that supplies electricity that don't have alternator component?
