Please My engineers in the house, is joining dc cables like this okay?

Trying to move my inverter and battery father from each other.

As for me e join for my eyes. Just use black tape give am correct insulation.

I'm using the thermocool 259L (if I remember correctly) and it has been great so far.

I'll recommend it.
Thank you so much🙏🏼

Go with Scanfrost. I have a non inverter 250L Scanfrost freezer that draws a maximum of 160w. Freezer keeps everything frozen all day long after running for 8 hours daily (8am to 4pm)
Thank you chief.
Someone also told me about Scanfrost
Let me try their inverter series

This actually is much better than tying it up. Just tape it for insulation

My 1.5HP Panasonic Inverter (will find model later) drops to around 650W.
Hahahaha my normal AC is 680w my neighbor is 560w 1hp

Most of us here are having a misconception about how "inverter" air-conditioners work. The fact that it is termed "inverter" doesn't automatically amount to lower running wattage.

My Hisense as well.
Which of the hisense because the feedback I got from I got from one guy who jse the product was not so wonderful.

Which model is this boss?

LG, I may be biased as I use LG.

Their Dual Inverter model is just so energy efficient.

Maximum cold running wattage <= 1000w for the 1HP version (drops to around 600w when room is cold)

Dehumidifier mode = 230w to 600w (depends on time of day; outdoor temperature)

Fan Mode = 120w
1000W is quite high for a 1Hp AC.

Does this dehumidifier mode cool the room?

Let me tell you that you cannot use the said lithium ion you ordered on your fan because the charging profile does not match with lithium ion.

Rechargable fans charge up to 14.6v, hence it fits a lead acid and lifepo4 batteries.

The problem is not the lithium ion but the charging profile of your fan. To use it, charge via the 12v port not the ac to ac cord ooo (this will give u 14.6v).

If you want to charge the lithium ion to 12.6v via ac to ac direct cord, you will need a buck converter to reduce the 14.6v to 12.6v as this will serve as your cc for charging.

I can actually build a 5p3s here but the rumour of lithium ion here is just too much and laced with false.

I use lithium ion( over 200ah) safely for close to 3yrs now. Recently ran a submersible on it.

Na who get sense they use solar. grin
hmmm. So in your opinion, regular charging values for lead acd can work for LFPs? Or what exactly is the correlation?

No damages should occur.

I need a lithium battery of 12v 200ah . We can recommend a good brand for me. Thanks

What do you guys think of the Sumec Firman 5KW battery (grade A cells?) and inverter?

I know their generators are excellent (I have one), so I expect their batteries and inverters to be of the same or better quality.

Valto makes good batteries and offers top customer service.

Haisic sells a 280aH 12v battery for 450k which is an excellent deal too.

Firman is mostly new to the RE market, I believe. At least in Nigeria. Wouldn't be my first choice.

So I made a post yesterday, where I said that I moved my solar mount to a different location and I was getting around 700w as against 500w.

Well, it seems that'd be the first and, I hope it's not, the last time I'd get such output.

I noticed today, as the sun was high, when it's closer to 600w, it goes back down to around 27w and then gets back to 600w, as long as the sun's intensity stayed the same. It's just like a loop. It normalizes where the production is around 577w and below.

So I'm suspecting that PowMr might have overstated the PV's maximum capacity of the 12v at 720w, when in reality it's just 600w.

I might be wrong, though. It's just my layman observation. Maybe the experienced folks can help me understand what actually is going on.
Hold my beer. Just got this today on a 12v. More than stated capacity of powmr cc

Ok let me share what I know about Inverter ACs and regular ACs.

Inverter ACs require low current to start running and will continue running at constant speeds to maintain the room temperature after attaining the set temperature. On the other hand, the normal ACs require high current at startup and the compressor will stop running after attaining the set temperature. But the compressor will start running again whenever the room temperature drops below the set temperature and often requires high current at each startups, which makes it consume more wattage than the inverter ACs.

This particular charge controller inflates PV input reading jsyk.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by HeavenlyBang(m):
CodeTemplarr:

The whole point of inverter ACs is being able to run the compressor at variable speeds.

So while a regular non-inverter AC compressor only has two modes: on and off, an inverter compressor can run at different speeds.

It's why it also doesn't have a high starting current. It just slowly ramps up compressor speed till the max speed. Then when the room gets colder (or when set to any of the eco modes), the compressor slows down as well.

Current, not voltage.

Someone outside this forum said this battery gave the rated capacity when tested. And that the 3kw solar inverter did well too.

You see that LG... Na d koko
HeavenlyBang:
That's your opinion. I have An LG dual inverter and a Hisense inverter. Other than the LG working fine with low voltage while the Hisense won't function under ~180v, both ACs perform perfectly fine (cooling and efficiency).

In fact the Hisense is probably more efficient.

please the charge controller went over 800w and then stops charging, what could be the issue. It's not throwing any codes

please what could be the issue, it just stopped charging now now immediately it went over 800w which it was not even supposed to do at the first place.
