Pretty weird thing to say without having as much as a hint of that actually being the case. Almost reads like an accusation.

Could you be right? Yes. But asking people to be wary simply because of a broad possibility doesn't sit right with me.

I do agree that Dam5reey1 should state if review units are provided by OEM, though.

This is how Google AI described "Be wary". "Be wary" means to be cautious and watchful, especially of potential danger or trickery. It implies a need for carefulness and alertness in the face of something unknown or potentially harmful. Essentially, it's about being on guard and taking precautions

I have not made an accusation; I was only telling people not be carried away with glowing (or weak) reviews. In reality, no smart person bases their buying decisions on a single review, no matter how glowing or bad. And users' reviews are the most reliable reviews especially when aggregated. I will take the views of a regular user over that of a professional reviewer every day of the week and even weekends.

I noticed weired noise from my inverter when the battery was charging via solar. I think it's the mppt cos it stopped when the sun went down this evening.

What could be the issue my ogas?

People need to be wary of these reviews. It is important to know how the "samples" were sourced. The reviewers also need to declare any conflicts of interest like free samples, paid reviews and commercial partnership with marketers and companies.

Even big companies like Samsung have been known to game the review systems by supplying reviewers with "supercharged" samples. For example, I think Samsung once had a hidden code that detects benchmarking software and then ramp up CPU and GPU to achieve scores that are not achievable in normal use.

It is not impossible for battery makers/marketers to supply top-grade batteries for reviewers and park their commercial stocks with low performing components.

The best REVIEWS are what users on the field say about the batteries and other components.

I really like this perspective, and I gave you a like for it. But looking at it from another angle, I don’t think this applies to this guy or anyone here who is a DIY person or installer.

Why? Take a look at those guys who promotes products in the name of reviews using their channels, it is not their main job. For example, a guy reviewing Oraimo power bank does not have any business with you telling him to refund you your money because the Oraimo battery bank you bought performed way poorer than what he advertised on his channel.

Now this guy in question is an installer and a DIY person, so tell me how on earth will he do a review on a supercharged battery, and will come to install for you a subpar battery without costing him a good name and good recommendations?

At the end of the day the bolded quote from you still encourages us to take reviews from the same type of person you just told us to be wary of.

Now, if you ask me what Damrey guy thinks about what you posted, well, I’m Preety sure you know how disappointing and discouraging it would for him. So in some ways, I just don’t think it was necessary in the first place. We still need people like him. I learn a lot from him as a matter of fact.

Cheers.

You just said my mind about reviews in general.

Most times when I watch these review videos I mostly pay attention to the comment sessions cuz that's where you'd get the real review.

I ask WAEC question, you change am to JAMB question 😁😁🤣.

It'll only replace gen, meaning it's purpose is only to take up those hours when there's no nepa (let's say max 5 hours no nepa - but you can't trust nepa sha). They still intend to use nepa.
Forget the fridge watts, u can clearly see it's a mistake.
Assume that they'll be powered at same time.
Any where could be upgraded any time.

Quick question.
How many users, real, actual end users, post reviews about their products?

I have searched the internet for actual Nigerian users' reviews about AlpSolarr. Nothing, yet it boasts impressive specs.
[This guy][/https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Smk1wjJvrbc] started posting about it, yet it was too late for me. I had already purchased another well-reviewed brand.

So this is not to take away from the procurement disclaimer. Just a plea for both installers and end users to document experiences about products, both negative and positive.

Good evening y’all
Please I need opinion about this inverter, I know it’s a non hybrid but I’d like to know if it make sense to buy or it’s a no go area.
And also any idea about its idle power consumption and repairability?

Great advice. One review cannot be superior to an amalgamation of different reviews and comments, it is actually common sense.

What we should be asking for is more people getting involved and doing reviews like Damreey, great advice again.

I kinda believe that what really matters isn't about number of people doing the REVIEWs BUT the reason why they're doing it in the first place.

If you're there [mostly] for the MONEY, it really would show in the result no matter how smart you try to get. Take NAFDAC for instance, the only person who really dealt with fraudulent traders was someone who lost a family member due to FAKEs.

My Reviews were never sponsored, I paid fully as regular buyers do.
If it was sent by Company I will mention it, just as I did for POWMR, Seller sent to me.

Haisic, Deriy, Cworth, Taico, LVTOPSUN, I paid in full.

After reviews many come for where to get products, I seize the opportunity to sell as well.

Hello Everyone, please can anyone guide me properly? I use a Felicity IVEM 5048 inverter, with a LIFEPO4 15kWh DIY battery, and I noticed that the Felicity inverter has only two charging stages: Bulk and absorption charge. but in the setting, what is confusing me is that it states Battery C.V charging voltage and Battery floating charge voltage.

When I set the float charge, it works as the absorption charge value, so will I be right to say that the felicity inverter does not have a float charge stage under the LIB? Please see attached for what I am trying to explain.

It is recommended that for battery type you should select 'user' and then input battery recommended charge voltage parameters. Your DIY battery is from what source? Because the 55.4v i see here is low. Most BMS cell balancing starts from 3.5v per cell, i.e 56v for a 16s pack like yours. And if your balancer is passive, you would need to go even a little higher.

Na only emotions people them Dey take Argue, Facts no dey.

Chief, seems you are solaris surge (or something like that) on Tiktok.
Weldone for all the efforts you do for this solar field.

You've always said that one day you'll test DIY battery packs of valto and mrreed to confirm the grade A cells they use for their set up. We know they've been tested by them and went above stated ahm capacity. But from a 3rd party will be cool for scientific and fun purpose.

Lastly... That elejoy mppt tester you got is the wrong one. Yours is showing EY1800W with green body outline. Elejoy doesn't produce anything like that. Its a fake knockoff. I saw an American guy testing with same one you have and he tested even when panel was facing down and it gave 500w+ 🤣🤣. You all bought the fake.

Always buy the EY800W that has red body outline. It's the best.

55.4v is low? Omo 😁😁. That's 3.46v which is over 90% of full charge. That's a very ok charge voltage.

Don't forget that LFP maintenance are rated based on 25ºc. That's temp for summer in Oyibo land. I'm Nigeria that's a cool temperature coz 90% of 365 days in naija we are above 25ºc ambient temp not to talk of temp of cells in the park as calculated by bms.

Where i stay ambient temp gets to 42ºc. If you charge regularly even at 3.5v in our high temp you are reducing LFP lifespan. That's a fact.

I always set active balancer to start balancing from 3.4v. My max charge around 3.46v. You'll not gain anything from 3.5v to 3.65v apart from heating ur cells and reducing lifespan.

Good morning fellow enthusiasts,
I need the most budget friendly inverter that can

1. invert 12V DC into 220v AC
2. Use Grid power to charge backup battery when available and switchover to solar when appropriate.

Th set up is just 300w panel, PWM controller and 100AH battery.
