The oracle says u have to get :

A 650va ups or 150watt inverter

12v 200ah inverter battery

20 or 30amp smart charger

1 yard 2.5mm red and black cable wire

One black celotape

When u get all these items, I can begin the sacrifice for u

[b]Ceejay / makavele please I will be grateful if you can answer my questions.

Q1. When a device does not have power rating in watts but has voltage and current rating. It is correct to calculate the power with P=IV.

A1. You are correct.

Q2. If the above is correct a device with 100-240v rating. Which voltage should we use 100 or 240 or there average.

A2. Most devices rated this way are smps powered. They have the circuit to keep their power consumption constant by adjusting the current that they consume.
They consume maximum current at the minimum voltage.
E.g 200 watt at 100 to 240 volt
P = IV.
I = P ÷ V
At 240v , current is 0.83 amps
220v, current is 0.91 amps
100v , current is 2.0 amps

Q3. And lastly how do we determine the power rating of a laptop? From its adaptor/charger or from the laptop itself. Because mine has different rating.
Does the power consumption of a laptop on use differ from its shutdown but charging mode.

A3. Power consumption of laptop varies according to the tasks been performed at anytime. E.g the CD drive doesn't work all the time. The speakers too. And sometimes the external devices plugged to the USB makes power consumption to vary.
Highest consumption is during charging and heavy CPU usage.

bros na wah! the battery is reliable.

wait a minute! did I hear you say charge the battery before use? yawah don gas be that o! I used it straight 8hrs yesterday without charging! I put it off myself as it didn't go off and my inverter didn't signal that the battery was weak. no light since Wednesday, to make matters worse, NEPA (PHCN or DISCO) or whatever they call themselves has forsaken us in Gbagada. Light situation demands urgent declaration of 'state of EMERGENCY' ..no light to charge and no fuel. I don tire! solve one problem, another one emerges. up till now that I type these words, still no light. I'm thinking of buying one 80watt solar panel (10k) with a 10amp solar charge controller, so I can forget DISCO and their stupid supply. the most annoying is that they bring estimated bill of 10k for me every month.

pato405:


loooool! very funy

ceejay80s:

Pato, u see wetin I tell u, close eye buy one is one, now u are enjoying 8hrs + , abeg tell us ur load on that 65ah fullriver battery
8hrs on 65ah battery? Na the load wey u put on top I wan know

ceejay80s:

Enjoy!!!
Its advisable to charge a brand new battery atleast 6hrs before use
But if the battery is not brand new, then I dosent need first charge, u near me na, how manage nepa no give una light? ,I dey Charley boy area or second pedro, they just took my light a few hrs ago ,
When I build my own house then I go buy solar panel, my area shomolu na lions den, [b]I no wan wake up one day I no go see my roof and solar pane[/b]l

pato405:




wetin man go do? No light, no fuel as at y'day that I bought it. Just managed to check my gen now, and I observed a very little quantity of fuel inside, I've switched it on and it's running now (generator), so I'm charging it. I dey Ifako. Power situation there na wahala.

ceejay80s:

As long as nepa is concerned in nigeria, every home dey experience am , before my setup, my house dry, but now especially weekends my TV is on almost 24hrs , I want to really know how long my batteries will last but nepa no gree, the highest my battery has gone is 8hrs before nepa go remember us, I Wish nepa won't give me light the whole of next week sunday, let me see how long my battery will last, but I am planning on adding one more 40ah battery to make mine 200ah, I wan beat initialize record 360ah!!!!

***My whole setup cost***

2pcs Used 180AH Batteries @ #25,000/pcs = #50,000

1pcs New Mercury 2.4KVa Inverter = #22,000

Transportation + Overhead cost = #3,000


Total = #75,000


The cheapest I've seen this on eCommerce sites is #180,000, so i feel good

Ceejay80, no talk plenty oh some dudes for ur area go fight u oh. Just dey enjoy am dey go like that, na we dey suffer for my area, no lite since friday but I still dey jam 24/7 light . No ask how many batteries

pato405:


that guy vex seriously. I had to read the 2 X 180ah twice to be sure of what I was seeing. . Only 65ah wey I buy, I'm enjoying like this talk much less of 360 (6 times my current amperage!). May be him wan power AC and freezer!

I'm not combining my new battery with the old one. As a matter of fact, I have called one guy who deals in old inverter batteries some streets adjacent to mine. He is offering 3k for the old 100AH and 1.5K for another car battery I replaced sometime ago, that totals 4k.. . Na something. I go add am small cash buy the 80watt solar. Little by little I go push DICO behind.

JESUS dey heaven oh. No worry I owe you a 100ah battery by January. Make salary show

Ini,

Nice one. Thanks for the update.
Just wondering, does you inverter that is rated for 2.4KVA supply the full 4.3KW (24 x 180) that is available from the batteries?
