Good evening gurus on the platform, please Im interested in this battery I saw on jumia .
Please is it a good battery and can I charge it with the 250 watts solar panels that I presently use to charge my now exusted Sunfit deap cycle Gel100AH battery? 🙏

Hasic black 8kwh (real capacity7.2kwh) goes for 800-850k.
Thanks for the recommendation. Have they been good reviews on the battery? I'm seriously considering it right now.

What is the ideal 24v inverter that can power a 1.5hpower 10a submersible pump without any issue on the long run and how many kilowatt of solar panel is required also
I see you have asked this question a few times in the past and been advised to consider going up to a 48v system and a dc pump, if you want to be doing this regularly.

I believe that earlier advice is still the safest and best for longevity, but the advice below is ok, especially if you will be disciplined and pump mostly during the day.


eghos12:
Go for the highest 24v available. Some brands have 4.2kw and some have 5kw. For the panels 4kw array is okay. I.e 600+ by 8 panels

The brand has been reviewed on youtube a few times and pulls capacity.

But I do think the Henry LIFEPO person you quoted offers better value.

For offgrid, i'ld suggest you put two modules in parallel for your use. Optimize your installation well to maximize your PV harvest too.
Ok, thank you.

For the past 1 year that it is trending no bad reviews yet.

Good morning house, does anyone have an idea about these two batteries and their reliability? I'm just looking for a cheaper lithium battery that can serve me.
These are Alaba trash

Guys please I need recommendations on Solar panel to buy to power the Itel 500w, 1kwh power tank. It is rated for 400w panels, however the only available jinko panels are Bifacial 550w and above. Is it safe to use this?

Heard Cworth 500w panels are overrated 370w, how true is this?

What other reliable options are available?
Use the 550w. It would take what it need.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by DavisBloom: 3:22pm On Jan 13
Good day House
Please I need recommendation and approx. cost for a budget solar setup that can power

- About 4-5 ceiling fans, max of 3 at night
- 6 Energy saver bulb
- 65" TV
- Then charging of mobile phones and/or a laptop

Location is in the north

Expert in the house, please help/assist.
Thank you

It has been topped up. Tried charging one of d batteries but it indicated battery full after 3mins of charge.... D oda once just last about an hour on 300watt load. I was advices to take Dem to a battery charger. Do no if that will work . Kus d stress on of carrying 4 tubular batteries up and down no b here ohh
bassdow:
what issue are you having at the moment ?

Have you topped up the electrolyte (water)
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 3:33pm On Jan 13
C worth lithium 100ah 1.3kwh is cheaper than this battery

End of life for the battery.
No stress yourself as it will die as soon as it gives few hours of hope.

How does dc pump works? Can a DC pump be used on NEPA LIGHT?

Check this on Jumia. 600watts, but it’s a 1.5litres Jug.
I ordered for this and I was refunded and the page has been pulled down from jumia. I guess it’s out of stock or something.

what I would suggest is, first fill the 4 of them with distilled water and not electrolyte to cover the plates or the mark, and charge full without being used at all.

After charging is complete, disconnect them and reCharge individually. All through charging, ensure it's not in use. WHen you done, resume light usage and monitor it.

After charging is complete, if you have means of using the batteries individually, please do so you're able to tell which one drops rapidly and which doesn't.

Hopefully it's usage wasn't much while the water was that low ELSE all the above just might be a waste of time.

If after doing the above, you still have (serious) issues, get in touch with me.

You gave a quote without stating your state of residence + closest city.

Also we don't even know the load hence things such as "Cable for Connection" wouldn't make much sense to us since we don't even know the type or size the person meant.

Most of us being weary of overCharges, would overCharge others when opportunity arises.

Not really
But if I could at least get recommendation of the minimum solar setup requirement for the above, it ll be very helpful still.
