Dabss:
the one I bought was burnt by a stainless plate.
Never knew a pot can burn a cooker. I will wait to confirm myself.

Induction cooker also work with all the common stainless pot and cup and they are not magnetic. So dont be misled by the magnetic test only.
All stainless steel cookwares has magnetic properties in them though not as pronounced as that of straight pure metallic materials. Hence, they are slightly magnetic and will work with induction cooker. Another thing is that most stainless steel are light weight and hence they easily burn food

Yet they work. You dont have to spend 100k plus for induction pots, if you have stainless pots and you are short of fund.

I tested with magnet, dem no magnet anything.

issue is, not all of them. saying all can be misLeading.

either way, Good thing someone shared this BUT still we need point out not all though many are.

Thank you everyone, I thought about fouani also but I thought I can get another genuine distributor with lower price compared to fouani.
Which location are you trying to buy the panel?

I once drop a stainless spoon on induction cooker, it didn't heat up.
But it worked on a stainless plate cover.

i have some stainless pot, only the one that work with magnet work with the induction cooker others did not work, so not all with written stainless steel works. can you share the picture of your own cooker

what is the difference between infrared and hot plate?

infrared consumes more energy than induction

In all you get, get yourself a good pressure pot and enjoy cooking under 20 minutes grin

If you buy the cheapo. Have been using mine for more than 4 years now with no issue.

Buy a good brand, don't cheap out and you are good.

Recently upgraded mine this year. Same result.

Don't just buy cheaply made one.

The pot cover of my recent purchase weighs 1.62kg

Lots of people don't get it when we speak of Quality. They think saving a few pennies is CHEAP till they find themselves spending more later. e get person wey I go try help install solar. see as inverter wey e buy dey shock like say e dey vex dem buy am. lasLas the ediot1 no grey charge.
Still, one needs know when they paying for logo vs quality

There are places where you can get away with just losing money, buying a cheap pressure pot is not one of them; you may likely lose more than money grin

How much did you get it?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by blexxonmak(m): 10:02am On Jul 02
Get a good Active Balancer


codemaster2much:
good morning,please ia their a special device I can get to properly balance the cells in my battery? Charging with my lifepo4 charger alone doesn't fix the imbalance . My BMS is passive
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Whytehandy: 10:05am On Jul 02
Good morning all

I am outside Lagos and want to order for the Dayo induction cooker and can't find it in mama home's website

Konga too doesn't have it either.

Pls l need recommendations on genuine place to get it at a good price

Thanks in anticipation
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by twinskenny(m): 10:11am On Jul 02
Yesterday installations @ obanikoro Lagos

6kva deye inverter

10kwh deye lithium battery


5 no of 620w jinko panels


You need great carefulness installing panels on a slate roof.. delicate

Excellent installation, as always.
Please chief, house, between jinko and longi, which one performs better?

Spoke to guy in Ikeja he doesn't have it either only the one they name James! Let me attach pictures

Longi if you get the right one BUT still, they both have their uniqueNess.

Thanks bro. I was able to balance the cells in my battery by following a YouTube guide.

This is what worked for me:

1. Set the **absorption voltage** on your MPPT just below the total battery voltage where your BMS triggers over-voltage/full charge. In my case, the BMS would cut off when one cell reached 3.6V while the others were around 3.4V, with the total pack voltage at about 13.8V. So I initially set the absorption voltage to **13.7V** and used a long absorption time.

2. Set the **absorption time** to somewhere between **2 and 6 hours**.

3. Each time the battery reached full charge without the BMS cutting off, I gradually increased the absorption voltage. I went from **13.7V** (around 88% SOC) to **13.9V** (around 90% SOC), then gradually up to **14.4V**, and finally **14.5V**.

4. If you're using a **passive BMS** (which is what my battery came with), you'll probably need to repeat this process over several charge cycles—mine took about a week.
3
**End result:** The cell voltage difference dropped from **0.125V** to **0.007V**, then **0.003V**, and it's now less than **0.003V**. The cells are now almost perfectly balanced.

Thanks for the assistance.

It's just that I prefer to get the induction cooker with users experience since most people on this thread have given a good review of the Dayo cooker and maxi induction cooker

I already have 4 electric cookers that I'm not satisfied with it's either they are not energy efficient or cook too slow so will not want to take the risk of getting a 5th cooker without good reviews.

I'm seeing it advertised on jiji for #35,000 but have never bought items there before, I won't mind buying the maxi induction cooker if I see it at a fair price

Thanks once again

It's a Chinese brand, Shuanghang. Kinda popular in China

₦87k in China.

I swear I'm afraid installing this on my roof... my landlord sef told me he saw online that solar panel dey burn house chaii . Is it true house?

Also, pls I wanna ask isn't this a flat roof, I heard some people said it can be placed on it directly without using that rack

Kindly do understand that an induction cooker's technology differs completely froma regular cooker. Enter market buy any Good enough quality one New / USEd. So long it's an induction cooker, it's energy efficiency would always be much better
