If you get solar, just draw wire from charge controller or battery to it , finish

Put the dead battery back Inside like that

Connect red and black wires to the terminals or even without the battery

Draw the wire to your charge controller

If it doesn't run from charge controller and the battery still works, though weak, put the battery back there, connect wire from charge controller to battery terminals (leave space on the battery terminals so wires from the fan internals can slide in... It should work

Only disadvantage is that you will not be able to be carrying it about again or you will need really long wires if the place you usually use it is far from where your solar set up is

Voltage go drop if wire too long. As for mobility, if done well, could still be mobile

We're in 2026 please. Let's end these beer parlor yarns.

That's my personal experience.

650 bluegate UPS wey I buy 3 years ago still dey work and e dey carry everything without issues. I just naked am remove the cover and connect small fridge fan to it, finish

Transformer inverter I bought still dey work

But 2 souer sachet inverters don't last 6 months before MOSFETs blow.

You repair am, e blow again ... If you are lucky it can still be repaired a second time

If e blow again after second repair , e don condemned finally grin

You too see wetin u mention.
Buy better thing and be free.

I used Ups/souer well for years.
However, don't use anyone of them for fridge or freezer as they will damage your compressor in the long run.

Try upgrade to better product and see wonders.

Good morning my chairmen them, where can I get this in lithium battery or have it built with lithium battery?

I don tire to dey change this fan battery every 4 months.

Available on Jumia for cheap. And yes the internal charging system will charge it. Just connect red to red and black to black and voila.

Been using mine for close to a year now. Lasts about 5hrs on a full charge. My fan is rated 40w. More recent ones draw as low as 25w so would probably last longer.

It could be 1000ah sef
Main thing is the voltage

Ok lifepo4 is ok. But 2s is just 6.4v and 3s too big 9.6v, you plan to step down with buck converyer

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Unfaized: 11:28am On Feb 02

sofdoc1:
Thanks your response, I wanted to go for Felicity products too, but based on some research, I learn that their batteries do not give out the full capacity as stated on rating.

It appears c worth is doing well in that regard. And as for service centers, I browsed and saw cworth have one in lekki.

Do you have any experience using the product?

Kindly do more research on Cworth actual capacity sha...

So because you bought two sachet inverters, probably of low quality, and they blew up that means transformerless inverters in general are unreliable.

What sort of logic is that?

Better still get 23ah from Valto, it will suffice bc it can power a 32" tv for 7hrs. Possibly will do it for free for you depending on your location. grin

Don't buy transformerless inverter

Their MOSFETs blow easily after a while.

Visit any electrician/radionic shop where they repair inverters, you will see mountain of dead sachet inverters there.

Some don't last 6 months before they blow and they're over-rated too.

2,000W written on it but if you put 1,000w load continually, MOSFETs will blow.

I would rather buy tokunbo blue gate ups in good condition than buy sachet inverter again

buy from the likes of Valto or mrReed and they should be able to help you do it probably for free sef BUT if you already have the cells or intends using harvested cells, then people wey go help you dey here. unfortunately, I am too far away for you and not sure it's worth doing wayBill for

My dear friend, please stop putting out wrong information due to your singular experience.

That you bought a car and it got involved in an accident doesn't mean all cars must... Just an instance OK..

I have used my currently 5kw sachet inverter for a while now powering my AC+2bigTV +fans + lightings or 1fridge+1freezer+2bigtv+ligtings etc without issues. Infact 4years now.

Earlier I used 3kw with not issues too..

You can check by pages behind or search. Know over 6persons here using same sachet inverter and 2 of them use same 5kw

This does not imply transformer based are bad but if you don't mind it's self consumption. But again, why burn energy redundantly without beneficial use

Also if you are not really after super mobility, a much cheaper option could be a USEd 100ah leadAcid battery. A used but still working one should cost about 50,000 naira or less. Everything no need be Lithium Just like everything is almost AI nowAdays

I think He only shared his own personal experience which if He used liked most people, should experience just what he shared.
e get reason why me dey insert clause and phrases when talking sometimes. When someone says they could use 3.5kva inverter power many heavy loads, if they fail to share how they're able to accomplish such, most people would attempt and fail even when it worked for the other person.

5kva 96v inverter for s a l e .

Let me remind us that a 96v inverter requires at least 8pcs of 12v batteries and if using Lithium batteries, must be 96v.

for team efficiency, it's much more powerful and efficient than even our 48v systems.

na for people wey get mind or know what they want.

Good morning brother, please why did you persuade him to use 23ah instead of the 50ah he wanted, which is easier to build because it doesn’t require spot welding machine.

Wrong.

Sachet inverters are typically rated at their surge capacity, not running capacity. Once you know this, operate it within it's recommended specs and it should serve you. I'm talk about pure sine wave ones.

I've had a sachet inverter take in water from rainfall and still continued working. I only found out by chance that where it was installed was getting soaked during windy rain. The unit still works till date.

Wether txmer or txmerless, if you use it outside it's recommended specs, expect signs and wonders.

My bro, you say kindly? Lolz...if I like make I no do am.

On a serious note, I have done some research, I am not saying cworth is great, but from the capacity tests (usually for smaller capacity batteries) I've seen, it has done slightly better than felicity.

Please if you have evidence to dispute this based on your own research, kindly share.
Thank you
