Nigeria open market price system aint the way u assume .. The only item i see price dropping fast the way dollar rate is dropping is SCRAP BATTERY PRICE from 20-25k to 15k now ! Cheers

Yes bro.. Most Nigerians lack proper maintenance culture .. Clients who actually manage their batteries like mother's taking care of babies enjoy batteries on the long run.. Batteries die prematurely when you don't observer proper charging algorithms (gel/agm/flooded) and observe reasonable 30-50% depth of discharge for those with little load and oversized battery bank OR 60-75% depth of discharge for those managing their renewable hybrid-offgrid systems ! I know 50% DOD is a tough task for those whose house is always filled up and grid supply for 100% charging is also very poor likewise solar set up not really charging the said batt bank .. I use FLOODED batteries and I make sure I equalise them monthly , I stay within 40-50% DOD and optimal float charge daily ..The MAX I have drained my batteries esp when I run my split AC(mostly at night is 22.5V(customized low battery cut off for cyberpower inverter 3.5kva 24v) ! Cheers

To the Solar Gurus in the house,
Good Morning All!
I have been following this thread for awhile and am fascinated with testimonies from those who have upgraded to RE.
I am looking at upgrading my 3.5KW, 200AH, 48V inverter system to solar since power utility company has gone on strike (LOL) in my area, can you kindly advice number of solar panels and charge controller size that will charge the system perfectly, I understand that best performing devices are not the most costly at times, kindly advice the brand and the model (solar panel & CC & others) that is cheap but yet powerful (tested and trusted) and other things I might need for the Upgrade.
Thanks to all, do have a great Sunday!

Please people, I need your advice urgently, someone is selling modified sine wave inverter instead of prag pure sine inverter 2kva. His argument is that the modified one does not consume batteries as much as the pure sine.
My load is quite low though. Please should I accept the modified inverter?

Your question makes me think of d difference btw 1985 volkswagen bettle & 2010 Toyota Camry. Honestly, Which do you prefer?

Do not compromise quality. Save ur electronics from unnecessary stress.

Ask the guy that he should borrow u his standing fan to test it for a day on the inverter. If it doesn't stop working(affect d coil) u will buy it and hear his response.

My submission is same as those given by the two Men above.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by abunafiu(m): 9:36pm On Mar 29, 2017
So many questions have been asked both online and offline about my 16 units of T105RE Trojan batteries.
Yes I have had some bad days with them. I had to retire 2 units when they were reading as low as 4v each.
I then connected 2 panels in parallel (200w/24v panel) to the batteries for almost 3 weeks. The highest I got was 14.7v.
Remember that I reconfigured my system to 42v which made my inverter cry low voltage all night.
Problem now started afresh when I noticed my Batts were low on distllied water and decided to top it. The whole system just start to misbehave. I almost gave up on them.
I then reunited the 2 units back to the system.
I was depressed by the whorible performance of the whole system. Imagine a battery bank you charge to 59v and absorbs for 2hrs+. Under a load of 1 fan, 1 TV , 1 fridge (less than 200w)...you will discover that by 8pm the battery is reading 49.5v. Before 49v was my battery voltage by 6am following day under same load. By 6am now, my battery reads 48v and most times less. All these events were recorded after topping up the water.
I just took k heart and began to use all I can generate per day.. That was d reason for my increased daily harvest I posted Few days ago.
Out of frustration I then read a post on an online forum where some one wrote that we (flooded users) we're mislead by the battery manufacturers with respect to charging algorithm especially for off grid applications.
The guy recommend higher absorb voltage and time. He never stated what voltage setting to adopt. But in my own case, I adopted 62.5v absorption voltage for 5 hrs( which means it's going to Gas all day).
After 4 days of using this setting I began to observe improvement since yestday that I had the courage of adding a small chest freezer to my load. In short the performance is encouraging.
Note: the 62.5v absorption voltage is a temporary setting which shall be reverted to 59v (Trojan recommended) when I achieve satisfactory performance and then hope to repeat this for 5 days in every 30 days to serve as equalisation.


This long story is to give every other silent Trojan user hope just like sir Chris AWPS always say. He said all you need to do is equalise them. But honestly I have been equalising with no result.

Maybe my new method might work for others too.

Pls remember to share your thoughts on this as well.
Cheers.

NB. When is the best time to top up with water. Trojans are known to drop in performance after topping but in few days (usually less than a week) it gets back to full performance.

Topping Trojans up with distilled water is best done on charge mode "absorption - equalisation" ! If not , you will make a caricature of your batt bank as time goes on !
