you obviously don't know meaning of /
I am not here to banter words with you.
You always add tubular to your suggestions here.
A new Tubular in 2026 is a bad investment, yet you always suggest used.
Advice them to go for lithium that their money can afford because going the used tubular route will be spending twice on the long run.
No offence meant, just my observation.

Good morning house, pls how do I connect and activate this smart BMS?
I have gotten this JBD 50A Smart BMS but it's not connecting whenever I try to connect, it does not give output and the bluetooth connection will later go out and disconnect
Balance Leads (Voltage Sensing): Connect the thick black wire (B-) to the pack's most negative terminal. Attach thin white wires sequentially to each cell's positive terminal (B1 to first cell +, B2 to second, up to your S count, e.g., B16 for 16S; unused leads stay uncut). Red wire (if present) or final Bx to pack positive. Verify voltages rise ~3.3V per wire with multimeter before plugging into BMS port.

I can see the discharge MOSFET is off. Turn it back on. I hope the balance leads (voltage sensing wires) are correctly connected.

I will have to ask my questions in bits and pieces.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 9:06am On Mar 06
Good day. I currently using 1 USED tubular battery with a 900watts sukam inverter without a panel. And light nowadays hardly comes (like 2hrs light or more every 2days). I see myself depleting d battery most tyms.

I need a system that can be suitable for the following
1 60inch LED TV
One standing fan of 40watts and 1 celing fan. (Or 2 standing fans)
An l.g inverter fridge or deep freezer (either must be on during d day and will b switched off by 3 or 4pm)
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 9:07am On Mar 06
At night
2 led bulbs
1 celing fan
1 standing fan (this can be changed to a standing fan).
1 tv which will b turned off before midnight.
I want an all in one system (lithium battery and inverter in one) because I feel it's cheaper dan getting charge controller and inverter seperatly. I might b wrong.

Normally we go out in d morning and come back by 6pm Monday to Friday.
But madam is on maternity leave.

Please I don't need sometin dat will tear my pocket.
Budget is btw 600k to 800k

Pls advice

for now, would suggest you keep a bulk of your money and not spend much.

Start by adding 2pcs of 350w or 2pcs of 400w or 1pcs of 600w MONO solar panels. Please go for halfCut if possible. Then also budget like 100,000 naira for good MPPT charge contorller.
Just the above 2 things are enough to change things; as during the day from 8am to 4pm, the solar panels keeps replenshing the battery. Most inverter's inbuilt battery charger ain't effective enough even with daily NEPA.

For now, don't bother anbout changing or adding more batteries. Do the above first and if after a while, you see a valid reason to consider the battery, let's know.

Keep rest of the money for the baby as you never know what emergencies might arise. Now is not time to go on spending spree.

You do naming ceremony, you no invite us, you come get wahala, you remember us. This life sha.

Throw away that Tubular battery.

Suggestion:
CWORTH ENERGY 2.56kWH 12V Lithium = 400k
4 units of Africell 200watts = 160k
Powmr 60Amps MPPT controller = 125k
Solar Cable = 40k

Total = 725k
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 12:03pm On Mar 06
I no dey do baby dedication oh. No money for dat. Well I am worried kus I spend nothing less dan 200k on fuel monthly... I will take ur advise .

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Gshems: 4:01pm On Mar 06
Lol. You no Wan tear pocket but you want to enjoy premium. 600k can't give you what you have listed. You are starting from scratch. You need at least a 200ah lithium battery, you need hybrid inverter that one alone Na like 200-220k, now panels. At least 2 550w

Watt and quantity?
2pcs of 600w or 525w half cut. Preferably monofacial.

Or any good brand (original)

Go with the advice @AyobamiOluwole gave you. New 2.5kwh LFP battery will give you peace of mind on your tight budget.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Gshems: 4:08pm On Mar 06
Almost Everything he said is good but buy an hybrid then go for 450-550w panels. Buy as much as you can afford

to me, I suggest @cyif2003 first get the solar panels and charge controller. His only complain is they (mostly the wife + baby) now spend more time at home than before hence issue of NEPA is not morenow obvious.

No need getting another inverter or upgrading if their current system still serves them HENCE me suggestion to get the solar panels and charge contorller which costs between 50,000 naira to 100,000 naira depending on if it's used or new. That way, He doesn't spend unnecessarily.

The Solar panels + charge controller takes over the role of NEPA in life of the inverter. He saves the rest.

Should he spend all that budget now, he would end up repeating the system He already has which is small to begin with. He currently owns a 12v solar system; following the suggestions I see above means He would be repeating same thing again.

But by just getting the solar panels + charge controller, He's on his way to building a better upgraded system of either 24v or 36v or 48v .

Mind you, if not for the baby, madam wouldn't be on maternity leave hence the entire home leaves early in the morning and returns late at night/evening hence what they mostly need is Fan, lights, and a couple of others like phone charging, etc. Maternity leave no be forever; it's just for a while.

Once again, @cyif2003; you should buy:
2pcs of 400w / 450w / 500w solar panels (total of 200,000 naira or less),
a good MPPT charge controller (50,000 to 100,000 naira max)
1 bundle of NEPA wire (20,000 naira max) as PV cable

You continue using your current inverter and battery. Only think of changing the battery if after a while, you have valid reason(s) to. With the solar panels, the battery would mostly be used at NIGHT or during prolonged heavy rain else the Solar panels are the ones doing the heavy lifting.

Again, if you must buy a battery, look into going 24v or 48v which means you would have to also upgrade your inverter. A used 24v or 48v inverter would be much cheaper. Don't go and do 12v system twice abeg.

NB: There are lots of rubbish out there in the market. you're are less likely to buy them if you open your eyes + your're informed enough + spend better. For instance, a lot of inverters out there don't have quality copper coil. na mostly aluminium coil coated with copper and guess what; they're rarely as efficient as those with full copper.
Same with Lithium batteries sef. They just flood the market with those things while influencing buyers decision.

You go just open your mouth waaa. What does he want to do with 200w panel
Grow up Bro.
Give him your own suggestion and not quote me.

I gain nothing from the quote I gave him but an idea for him to work with cos I use something similar too.

If he buys the idea, no Wahala, and if he doesn’t, it’s his f****g business.
