Aside from the fact that I can't even afford anything at the moment. But considering cost, i know a jumpstarter is multipurpose, but then a new battery and a jumpstarter cost almost around the same range, maybe few thousands naira difference but not much, I'm the type of person that sits in my car, put it on accessory mode only to listen to music or charge my phone.. I can't do that anymore because the car would probably not start due to weak battery.
Use am run some bolt or I drive runs to raise money na.

Charge with your cc or grid at 48v then parallel them for few hours IT WILL WORK. Since battery can serve as a charger to one another in parallel. DO IT!!!
This seems to be half of the story though since LFP cells can be at the same voltage but different SOC. The ideal thing should be to parallel them and charge to 3.6 ish volts with a CC-CV charger.

They are all full when the charge current drops to a very very low value.

I also need a charger like Tdoctor said.

Will a buck converter work? Any one with experience?
I get experience. E no go work.

I need Price
5kva IVPS 24v @ 490,000
5kva IVPS 48v @ 490,000

Hybrid

5kva IVPM @ 690,000


Transformer-less

5kva IVEM @ 450,000



I am not sure of the price currently

This is like 1 month ago

It's easier said than done.
Fares on bolt are ridiculously cheap, indrive is a bit manageable. But then if you factor fuel cost and maintenance especially the fact that my car takes 1 liter/6km. It's not really worth it. My calculations in from my personal experience. Not dem say

Yes it works.

This is the type I was using before I upgraded: Power Supply Module XY6020L

I dont know why people underate that device. The thing dey deliver for my end finish. Presently, that is the only thing powering my battery (presently using our favourite 24v 3000w sachet inverter, as my hybrid is decomissioned for now). 2 Jinko 590w panels in series (SW facing), on a 25.6v battery, and all my loads are used as i suppose to including all my family COOKING needs (all thanks to induction cooking).

I like the CC finish... Your slogan here legit... Na sense dem dey use for solar matter...
I've been using mine for God knows how long. If not for the advantage of high PV voltage of hybrid inverters, this would have been my best budget CC, recommended.

Although some cons about it are:
1. Can't set max charging current so it usually overheats when amps approach 40 and beyond
2. The cooling fan can't handle heat dissipation well at high watts values. External cooling helps plus the over temp protection works.
3. Cable connectors are too small for the max rated load, this also affects max cable gauge you can use.
4. Voltage, current and watts calibration is usually off by a significant margin. Newer models with updated software has a zero calibration feature for the voltage which helps a lot.

See a pair I deployed at one senior man place....pix was taken today. One did max 1.3kw in my presence while the other one did around 500w max.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by JoeSef0(m): 10:21pm On Dec 08, 2025
Thanks.. The person i asked said 800k. I was like for 5kva inverter, i knew something was wrong.

Do you have the contact of any supplier by any chance?

I am in the market for a 10kVA inverter.

I am thinking about SRNE but what other brands would the house recommend that I consider?

Hi,


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIv7KNvp7h4?si=P8e4NPhdYwN4jKQO

Those claiming LF has better surge than HF inverters and using it as an excuse to buying bulking LF inverters in this 2025.

This video is for you, look at the almighty victron, showing overload already at its rated 5kva and then have a massive voltage drop from 120v all the way to 106v and a spike up to 140v when overloaded.

If victron, a quality dutch made product can behave this way, imagine how poorly those terrible cheap LF Chinese inverters will behave under surge. F and C and the rest brands.

HF is the future, enjoy the video.

Transformer based or transformerless?

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ferdiwar: 8:20pm On Dec 09, 2025
You can go with the SRNE or 12kw Deye

Please,where can I get Znshne (not sure of spelling) of higher watts?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cutefy: 5:50am On Dec 10, 2025
Good 👍. What's the capacity of the inverter? Can you send a picture.



Fakeisfake:
Dears,

Just FYI only for those who wants to know, I tried the pump this morning and it all went fine. 45min plus or minus water was full and no issues..

I forgot to check the current rush or lets say I couldn't do much findings alone because I live upstairs, pump switch downstairs and family gone to church... All I wanted to do was just to test the pump while downstairs looking at the only bulb outside when I turned on the pump and there was no blink. It's the EAsun modular inverter anyways... because some of the modular inverters are not really pure sine wave just for the info...

Greetings to you Cutefy, Its a 5kw Modular/Sachet Easun inverter i think I had shared the picture on this account or my lost acct "Contease". Just type either moniker on the search of NL you must see. I am out of the house for work am sorry...

Deye is good, but I totally forgot the brand.

Thanks for prompting my memory.

Stumbled over this recently and I don't know if the price is right---442k with 200a smart bms

But seems Valto or Mrreed is cheaper.

Deriy 3.6kwh is 450k, and at least you know what you're getting. Much better deal than this.

When will your 20 kwh debut?

My system hasn't known a low battery since installation of 7 months now, I think today is the day it might 🤔.

Not up to capacity.

Deriy, Mrreed, and Valto all offer better batteries at similar prices.
