Stop fooling around with tiger gen.

Perkins and Mikano is not that expensive na..

Then buy one for me because I don't have the cash to buy Perkins and Mikano

Because of the terrible situation of light where I currently stay, I've decided to add phone charging to the list of services I render. I have "I pass my neighbor" generator but the popular view here is that small generators shorting battery life. Most people I've spoken to about it advised me against it and told me they won't even patronize me. But is it really true that small generators damage phone batteries?

Consider this:
1. Electric current is measured in volts.

2.Coil is the primary source of electric current.

3. For the coil to produce electric current, there must be an energy that drives/powers the coil.

4. The energy might be wind turbine, solar panel, water(hydro) turbine, petrol/diesel engine etc.

5. The number of Wats produced by a particular unit of generator could be determined by the strength of the force (energy) that drives/powers it and is measured in Horsepower(HP).

6. The current thus produced is called Alternate Current (AC).

7. phone batteries are charged with Direct Current (DC).

8. It is the duty of phone chargers to covert AC to DC in order to charge the phone.

9. Most phone chargers accept voltage between 100-220V.

10. What phones recognize is the number of volts (voltage) that flows from the charger...

11. What chargers recognize is the number of volts that flows from the AC.

CONCLUSION
It does not mater the size of your generator, what matters is the output voltage and the stability. A PHCN light of 110V will charge a phone slower than a small generator that produces 200V all things being equal.

P.S. I am not an engineer, I studied History/International Studies in school, but I've learnt a lot from the street. So please don't take my words as absolute. Engineers in the house can correct me.

It affects everything. Your phone, your charger, your battery, your ear, your neighbors, etc. Tiger generator is a killer. It also disappoints you when you have important visitor or have important program to watch.

This is the most reasonable post I've seen on niaraland in a while so I had to log back in to comment, (should've commented last night sha)

AVR (Automatic voltage regulator) helps keep the voltage at 220v or around that level no matter the speed of the generator engine..

Small gen uses one small capacitors only and lack AVR

Big Gens and even those smallest elepaq yellow standard Gens (the cousins of I pass my neighbor that are similar to medium Gens in look) use both small AVRs and bigger capacitors (those white big ones)

Your phcn aka NEPA uses large AVR grids at transformers powerline stops to help keep voltage at 220v which sometimes fails when more than needed buildings (load) connect to a single transformer stop which leads to low voltage and sometimes spoils the transformer or the AVR equipment


In conclusion I pass my neighbor gen is not good for use at all, because of lack of AVR in the small gen nothing regulates the voltage and it's fluctuations can be unpredictable which could lead to damage of your electronics I end it here

GraGra247:


It damages both laptop and phone batteries, charger and sometimes components.

Proven by thousands. Ask a phone repair professional.

The culprit is the irregular flow of fluctuating current from the tiger gen.

lordskid:


There's your answer, Op

1000angstroms:

Oga stop displaying and preaching ignorance, which phone engineers? The ones who never saw the four walls of any electrical engineering classroom?
Size of generator will not affect your battery except your phone or laptop charger or the phone is faulty.
AC power from mains supply socket at 220v gets into the charger, no matter how much harmonics accompanying the fundamental frequency, the stepdown transformer converts it down to either 12v or less which is still AC power, the diodes which may be configured in half bridge or full bridge will convert it to DC but this DC still fluctuates because diodes allow electricity flow only in one direction, your charger will now use capacitors and sometimes inductors but they are obsolete now to filter the fluctuating DC, the capacitors filter the DC by charging at one cycle when the diode is conducting and discharging at the point when the diode ain't conducting thereby ensuring the DC voltage and current has definite or clipped amplitude. This good DC electricity is now passed through a regulator of 5v that produces pure DC for your phone to charge. This is how it happens even if you use an inverter that produces square wave. Generator has got noting to do with your battery.
Your battery will get bad when you are using it while charging it because of heat and you shaking the cord input to the charging port that Sparks.
Be guided.

This is precise, detailed and extremely enlightening. You too sabi book I swear

Debramaye:
thanks

GraGra247:


Mr know it all, please how do you explain the countless incidents of people that got their batteries, chargers and devices damaged by the singular use of tiger generators.

Since everyone else is ignorant and you are not, please kindly show us. While at it also prove to us that there is no difference between pure sine wave and modified sine wave.

Even highly advanced scientists are humble enough to admit that sometimes they get it wrong.

femi4:
The standard measurement is in Kva or KW

And its "Watts" not "Wats"

Electric current is measured in "Amperes " while the voltage across is measured in "Volts"

Finally, about no9....you cannot use an input charger of 110v in a 220v socket outlet without a step up transformer, it will blow the charger

1000angstroms:
how can I admit that am wrong when am not, how many of them have you witnessed that got damaged by tiger generator? When you don't use the manufacturers prescribed charger to charge your phone and still want your battery to survive? When you don't service your generator that it gives your charger a voltage higher than it can accept and that makes the inrush current too high causing too much heat for your battery to deteriorate or charging your phone and using it at same time that heats up your phone, phone battery and heat are sworn enermies and that is the major culprit and not the generator, except you have a substandard phone that has a substandard battery so magic is bound to happen. Am authoritatively speaking from electrical engineering theory that your generator has got nothing to do with your battery based on the context of size as you lots hypothesize, it is sheer ignorance to make such claims period, it is same synchronous machine used as alternator in kainji dam to produce electricity that is used in tiger generators, so I don't know how their electricity will differ.

GraGra247:



Mr know it all, You're yet to explained why tiger generators have destroyed countless appliances, batteries and chargers.

1000angstroms:

Did you just decide to ignore one of my reasons of most Nigerians that have poor maintenance culture, if you don't maintain your generator, it will damage your devices and like I said, if your generator is faulty, it might supply an unacceptable voltage to your charger, sometimes the transformers and diodes will survive but filtering capacitors will burn out meaning your phone is getting an unfiltered dc current, in this case your battery and phone will suffer but most recent modern phones do have smart circuits to detect this failure in the charger and will cut off charging to save your phone.

1000angstroms:


[s] What do you mean by irregular flow of current? Is AC current suppose to be steady? Tiger or small generator has noting to do with your battery. Google how the phone charger works and read it up so as to be well informed and stop spreading ignorance. [/s]
