GEL batteries are known to be sensitive like Lithium batteries. That's if it's the quality ones to begin with.

He clearly said Gel there. They are inferior to Tubular LA so I don't even know what you are trying to say.

Anyone knows good TV brands that are extremely low consumption TV? Preferably 32 inches for my gamehouse. I want to buy 6 pcs to change all the PS3 Tvs as I'm presently using LCDs that are 140 watts which are not inverter friendly

Get samsung ue32j5500(it's a smart tv though)
It doesn't consume up to 40w on normal usage, at times even lower than 30 depending on some factors.

Before you buy a new TV, please lower the backlight of your current LCD TVs and check the result. Your answer might be the best investment wise in the long run, 6 TVs no be joke

honestly, this induction cooker is amazing! You made the right call by not buying the version that includes a pot. The bundled pots are usually way too wide for the actual heating surface, which is marked by the white circle. Using a pot that is too large causes uneven heating, leaving parts of your food undercooked. Once you pair this cooker with the correctly sized pot, you will be blown away by its speed and efficiency. Plus, even when running it on an inverter or a prepaid meter, it is still significantly cheaper than using gas. It is a superb investment!

Boss you no lie. I reduced my TV back light to the middle. A TV tasted 150w only using 55w.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by oloet: 5:32pm On Jun 02
From my research, the old LCD durability are worth draining out every last penny from them and when the backlight is reduced,they suddenly compete with the newer techs in power consumption

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by HustlingHustler:
Hi Engineers!
My 5Kva Felicity Solar inverter now goes off immediately Nepa takes light. It can't power my Fridge and AC anymore without it tripping off.
It has been powering every items in my house since I bought it 2 years ago but now, anytime I put on AC or Fridge, it goes off. All other items are working fine with it now except Fridge and AC.
Please, I would love to know if the inverter or battery is what is faulty.
Thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. Also what's the best power saving non smart TV you know about?

What’s your battery type and capacity? Posting a picture of your setup here will help us highlight and proffer solution.

I was just talking to a dealer this morning and he suggested similar to what you did

Can you educate me more on the two wattages printed at the back of the TV in the below pic? Why are there two wattage?

Are you sure those are LCDs ?

meanWhile, most LEDs (actually all) are very energy efficient. If you already own the TVs and you sure they're LCDs, no need having them replaced. Just adjust brightNess and see how far. Also the bigger the display, the more the consumption. Also have you considered the consumption of the games themselves. Your FANs also should all be DC.

If on Solar, you barely would have any issue during the day (Mornings till 4pm)

Obviously your battery. Wonder the kind of battery una dey use wey no dey last more than 2 years. So long the inverter only trips when heavy appliance e.g Fridge / freezer is connected, means the battery is gone. One to believe this didn't start overNight

Check the contacts between your battery and inverter to check if there is looseness or burning, as the battery may not have been charging.
