There is a caveat to this. In the days of Lead acid battery, it also meant that before you can be able to have power, you must have a certain number of batteries. 48 v needs four functional batteries BUT if you have four batteries for a 24v system and one becomes faulty, you will just remove it and made do with two.


bassdow:
it's not bad. Just not as good as 48v system.

Same way a 12v system ain't that bad; just not as good as 24v system.

Same way a 48v system ain't that bad, just not as good as a 96v system,

and so on.

It mostly depends on your kind of load. If running AirConditioners, and other high inductive loads, then if you care for efficiency and long term health of your batteries, your minimum should be 488v system and above.

For simple loads, 12v is good enough. Followed by 24v.

Then there are other not so obvious things such as, cost of breakers, wires, fuses, etc. The higher the voltage of the system, the cheaper they get. For example, wires are priced by thickNess and if you needed 16mm on 12v, for 24v, you might need 10m or less and for 48v, you probably need just 6mm. Same with other things.

Your batteries also runs cooler hence have many more years to serve you.

Of course if using solar panels, the higher thhe voltage, the hiigher is total wattage you could run. Most 12v system can't run beyond 700w to 800w but 24v system can ruun approximately 1,600w while 36v system would allow about 2,400w and 48v system would run at least 3,200w and so on

Most rarely understand until they've been there.

is 24v system that bad, everyone seems to promote 48v huh
No system is BAD, your choice is highly dependent on your needs + efficiency.

If any was bad then it won't be available in the market don't you think?

This is it set at 800w. The way it is made, if there is no compatible pot on it, even if you put it on, the cooker won't come on. That is also a good safety feature I guess, incase one mistakenly puts it on without knowing. So, I can't snap the surface when it is working, although it does not even show any red colour, it just starts working
So following your posts I said to also get my hands on this bad boy yesterday..

I have never seen anything cook so fast in my life. At 2,100w water started boiling in seconds. And the beauty of it is the adjustable power draw.

Technology is insane.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Gshems: 11:28am On Apr 17
My bosses in the house. My inverter threw a fault code 03, which is over voltage according to the manual. I have reduced the bulk and float to 14.4v and 13.8v respectively but it has done the same today. What can be the cause? My charge current is 60A. Inverter is bread 1.5kva and haisic 4kw.

thanks for your response, I am trying to upgrade from 12v but it felt like why "waste" extra 500k for 48v when I can just stick with 24v but again, I think soon my load will increase. I dun close eyes start my process to upgrade.

BTW, where did you get the cooker, online or physical store?

Physical store. Couldn't find that exact type from the online stores.

You have been unreasonable for almost 1 hour. I have been expecting the battery i paid for, you said you'll send this morning. Kindly reach me, you can't be ignoring the calls of someone you received money from.
Unreachable you meant?

The fault is not from Bulk or Floating Voltage Setting, it’s from the AC input. You will need to install a voltage/current regulator to protect your inverter from high voltage. See it below 👇

what you should check is the output from Solar panels or NEPA if connected to PHCN. That's likely where the issue is coming from

1 year used

1pcs Litime 12v 100ah LiFePO4 battery
2pcs Redodo 12v 100ah LiFePO4 battery
1pcs PowMr 12v 100ah LiFePO4 battery up for sale.
I bought all of them from US.

Reason for selling: Was using them in series as a 48v battery bank, but I have now bought a single piece 16kwhr Deriy battery and I want to sell these ones.

Price per piece: N195,000. If you buy all four batteries which is 5kwhr.. Price: N750,000

Each battery still pulls full capacity. You can run a capacity test on them with your shunt.
If you buy all 4, I can give you an external equalizer for free

Glad you are enjoying yours. It is really fantastic. I am trying to see if I can get one with two burners. If not, I will try to get another one so I can cook two things at the same time. I want to be free from using gas as much as possible

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by adibo(m):
Also, is Gennex technology a trusted online platform? I saw an inverter for 570, 900k on fouani but Gennex is selling for 502k.

Also, is Growatt 6kva 48v inverter with dual mppt a good buy?

Ok. But with that kind of speed 1 can definitely do the job pretty well though.

Honestly don't give ur system unnecessary overload. If it's a bit slow u can increase to like 1,800w. Should cook faster.

This is the cheapest induction cooker you can get online currently, it's on konga, it comes with free pot

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by zenith4biz(m): 7:32pm On Apr 17
Cheaper on their site

Sure but since there are no reviews how can you tell?

There's also a cheaper one on Jumia but guess what the reviews say? Glass got broken in a few days. So it's not really about the price but reliability that counts.

Check adibo's previous quotes. It's available in stores depending on your location. Price is 50k. Got mine from a tiktok vendor based in Lagos.
