Sorry once again if my sincere question made anyone uncomfortable, or if my question was a bad one, or seen as an attempt to demarket anyone.

Valto:
oya get this, but better soup na money kill am. if u will be into DIY stuff for years to come u need to have correct tools

this is a 0v-60v 50A fully programmable adjustable charger , there is also a 0V-120V 25A version .

Valto:
i am very sorry if u misunderstood my reply. the price of my 24v 4.5kwh battery is 720k, price can go far far lower, if i use a cheaper bms and accessories .it is made with Brand new EVE 178ah cells(everyone knows EVE cells can be very pricey) we are also using a JK 200A smart bms with jk display too.. i currently don't have any 5kwh , but i have 48v 6.4kwh ,9.1kwh and 16.8kwh, 20kwh.

You need stuff bro. Something like this:
Took some days to fully charge 314ah...

bassdow:
in situations such as this, you employ "elimination method" hence you first need ensure issue ain't the inverter first, then you move to the next. trying to randomly figure things out this way, especially with little knowledge na just gamble and a waste of time.

If you doubt it's a setting issue, try look for "ReSet" button and use that.

Good luck sha

dollarnaira:
Try bypass the bms

You can paste your BMS settings screen here, let's go through it together

adibo:
Good morning. Thanks for your reply. First of all, let me re-emphasise that I did not make the post with a mindset of slighting anyone. Not at all, I have even tried convincing my brother who installs solar panels to buy from Mr Valto several times.

Secondly, you can't come and just say that what I said is not true, when you are not in his chats and daily discussions. I am not a kid that will come to a public platform and be posting lies.

I asked him if he has 5kwh battery and he gave me a price for it. If you now say that it is actually not 5kwh but 4.5kwh, does that make my statement false?

I am not an expert, if the true capacity is 4.5kwh, how am I supposed to know that? I only spoke based on the fact that he gave me a price for a 5kwh battery. That chat is in my phone, but I don't need to post it, cus like I said, I am not here to cause issues. I just wanted clarification.

Hi Guys,
I forgot Batteries inside this Multi Tester l bought and the Batteries leaked juice inside it.
Now, it does not come up again.
Can it be repaired, has anyone faced this issue and how did you resolve it.
I hate to think l have to throw it away, cost me #180K.

oluchibabe:
Thanks guys.
I will post my BMS settings, which l got from a You-tube Video of Installer, below.

Bit-by-bit, l am getting the hang of it.
My instincts are leaning towards "Low Inverter Capacity". or some limiting Factor by the BMS settings, on the Maximum Watts l can draw from the battery, through the inverter, at a time
My Inverter is 5KVA,
When l put on the Fridge, along with basic things that are always on (Phone Chargers, 3 Routers, about six LED bulbs, four Cameras, Two fans), it does not shut-off.
But despite turning off the Fridge and Fans (Other things remain On), Once l put on the Electric Cooker or Boiling Kettle or Microwave, it just Shutdown almost immediately and Battery Capacity goes to Zero (from the display on the Inverter!)

But strangely, if l then remove any of the high Power appliance above that caused the shutdown, and reboot the Inverter, the Battery Capacity displayed goes to about 50% - 75% and it could Power Fan and all those small-small items above, for the whole Night.

- So, reckon the Inverter display of Zero battery Capacity left, is false, otherwise it wont power small items through the whole night.
- If Battery can work all night on those small items, it means it has capacity more than 3KW that the Cooker should draw (but shuts it down).
This is why l am suspecting BMS is the one shutting things down

Or maybe l just need a bigger Capacity Inverter?
I would have thought about a 10KVA Inverter but that would require l sell my current 5KVA which is working perfectly, aside this unexplained shut down when l load a Cooker or AC or some other heavy load.

I want to ask, my current Inverter does not indicate l can Parallel it with another %KVA of same type.
Is there any workaround to this, whereby l buy the same 5KVA type and l am able to make them work together as a 10KVA

Has anyone been able to "join" two HYBRID Inverters (not the standard ones that has Parallel capability originally), to produce bigger output, maybe by WIRING Configuration (say, for example, join the 5kva output of one, with the 5kva of the other, into one single Output of 10kva, to Power Appliances and charge the Battery Bank?
I know some people are already wondering whether l get sense at all, nor vex, l am just exploring Options.

Apologies for my long story.

is this not equivalent to kukuma just asking him not to make any attempt again.

You for share with am soemthing within his level. Cost of wetin you suggest is enough for some people to just giveUp

Good evening everyone…please I need help I’m just about setting up a solar set up that could power a freezer, 2 fans, 2 TVs but not at the same time so it’s just one TV, PS4, blender and bulbs….maybe 1hp inverter AC but not necessary tho…please I need advice on best products to buy for inverter, battery, panels and other accessories and what budget I should be looking at…I’m thinking 3.5 to 4kva set up will work….please I really need the advice….thanks

How much is the 10.2kwh?

justasitis:
This Clamp Metre can be repaired, what’s your location or WhatsApp number?

bassdow:
this is very easy if it's what I am thinking.

if the battery juice leaked onto the battery terminals / contacts, and probably ate up those shiny metals, na to just change or fix them which is super simple.

dollarnaira:
Post the terminals

No max Budget
No location

You didn't even indicate the size of your appliances e.g freezer abi small table Top is same as big freezer; common TV sef, you didn't indicate it's size or if na plasma or the Ancient box type

either way, hope your budget is at least 1.5 million naira

Also, though we don't have clear clue of your load yet, you would be needing anywhere from 5kva except you want to be switching off some heavy loads e.g Freezer before running another heavy load e.g Pumping machine.

at end of the day, na your budget go follow tell whether you go buy all things Brand new or mix of New + Used or completely USEd.

You guys rarely go through past posts and me don tire to dey talk same things almost everytime

Terminals are clean but it is the Board behind that looks scary



I opened it up and saw that the battery Juice had reached the Board and left some blue residue on it.
It is likely alkaline in nature and may have corroded some things.

Attached are HEAVILY-blown-up pictures.
Can it still be repaired and if so HOW?
Can anyone walk me through the process of what to do

Thanks
