I have seen videos suggesting that aged AGM batteries can be revitalised.

But those were car batteries. Can thesame be done to SMF batteries.

Also if done, how many more months or years of service to expect?

My first set of AGM batteries are on their last legs.

Those stuff don't work except some car batteries.

As said earlier, I disconnected the charge controller earlier this morning around 7am and I'm still blazing my solar with all household equipments on as I type. Before now, when the charge controller was still connected ,

1. The inverter starts beeping and goes off if cloud manages to cover sunlight for as little as 3 minutes. I have to start reducing load instantly so it won't go off. I.e I instantly swith off my TV , fan, PlayStation etc.

2. I no fit even use am for night. Under 2 minutes it has gone off without load even on it. The charge controller will be indicating that the battery is low..


All these while I always thought it was my battery that was bad but seems its not. There is simply something wrong somewhere.

Picture of the charger controller attaches.
Although MPPT is written boldly on it, this is a glorified PWM charge controller so what you're experiencing is normal. A quick fix is to get a genuine MPPT charge controller and watch as it tracks sunlight and charges your batteries even under less than ideal weather condition

Thanks. Please can you advice on the one to buy for my setup? Picture would be much appreciated.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by JoeSef0(m): 7:48am On Apr 07, 2025
You mean i can use the inverter to power load with just sunlight and total absent of battery?

And does the inverter have a service center in lagos?

That isn't a smart thing to do btw, considering how much sunlight fluctuates. At least buy a small battery for it, even if it's a 50aH one.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by KaylaDeriy(f): 10:50am On Apr 07, 2025
Who said Deriy cost 1850000 each one if you buy 3.

If you buy 3 of the white hithium battery, the price is 1780950, so 3*1780950=5342950.

If you buy 3 of the black hithium battery, the price is 1687950, so 3*1687950=5063850.

Dam5reey1:
Assumptions:
Mercury Tall Tubular 220AH 12V X 16 units = 42.2KWH
16x 340,000 = 5,440,000

Deriy Batteries LFP 14.3kwh X 3 units = 42.9KWH
3 x 1,850,000 = 5,550,000...

So why Should you Buy Lead acidhuh

There are a few. I think Powmr brand has good CC for affordable price. Sunfield, Felicity, Must, CWorth all have good ones. It all depends on budget. Linnov8, Valto sells some from genuine brands

Your existing controller is NOT an MPPT controller. It is PWM, plastered with MPPT signage. So there is no basis for comparison for both of them.
