There was a time a discussion about how to connect batteries in series/parallel but can't seem to find that discussion again. Please I have 4 X 150AH 12v AGM batteries and like to know how best to connect them together for a 24v setup? |

Connect two in series two in parallel

Who can recommend a decent 24v 2kva to 3.5kva inverter with charging current upto 40amps..or 35amps worst case |

Malevonent: I wholeheartedly recommend the Victron Multiplus 24V 3KVA Inverter/Charger, available for only N425k. This is a premium inverter with a 5 year global warranty. It’s maximum charging current is 70A but it can be limited to 40A or any other value. So, it can conveniently charge 6 units of 12V 200Ah batteries. It has Powerassist and other features. so, It can be used with small generators for charging. It can also be used together with the small generator to power loads far above the capacity of the small generator. Pls call/whatsapp 08118419901 |

Felicity (MustPower type design) have 2.5kva & 3.5kva 24v inverters that meet your spec and well under 200k too. Basically any decent MustPower brand can do what you want but I always choose Felicity on account of their strong local presence, professional service center and good customer service - unlike most Nigerian sellers, they actually understand what a warranty means and are committed to honoring it. The Axpert type inverters (Zinox and Gennex) can also meet your need but because they are hybrids (built in solar charge controller) may come a bit higher on budget and scanter on protections. I hope this helps Malevonent: Malevonent: 4 Likes |

NiyiOmoIyunade: thanks, yup, its quite helpful? any idea if the idle consumption is as high as mustpower?. 4kva 48v mustpower has 30amps charging current, i guess the 3.5kva 24v felicity would be a lil higher. i want to use 4 12v 200ah battery is series and paralle, for a 24v setup finally. do you have any for sale? 1 Like |

Bluegate 3.5KVA, 24V. Charge current max at 50A. The charge current is selectable from 10A to 50A. Cost: 140k Warranty: 1 year. I've used this inverter over the years and it's quite very rugged. It's available. Malevonent: 3 Likes

Hello leaders of our great forum.. Have being seeing lead battery DOD need to be 50% to save the battery... How can I cut of the battery supply when it get to 50%?... I thought charge controller also serve that purpose of cutting the battery flow.. |
| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eleojo23: 12:22pm On Oct 07, 2019 |
Easylearner: One method I know of is, some inverters can be set/programed to ring the low voltage alarm when it gets to a certian voltage (between 12.2-12.0v) Or You can manually monitor the voltage drop and stop using the setup when it gets to around 12.1 which is about 50% of the battery. I believe the Ogas have more to add...stay tuned  |

If the inverter has inbuilt customizable LVD (cutoff) this is your best bet - you simply set your desired cutoff voltage allowing for transient voltage sag with large loads and possibly also hysteresis and the inverter does the rest - shutdown power to loads and enter standby mode once the set threshold is reached. Second strategy is to employ an external LVD device connected to the batteries - the LVD will either have a relay built in or you add on a relay - in this scenario you will typically be cutting off the AC supply to loads - DC between inverter and batteries is still online so the inverter will still consume some battery power in idle mode (relevant for long term idle after cutoff) I have seen someone here employ the load terminals of an el-cheapo PWM CC to (de)energise a relay which connects or disconnects the AC supply to act as an LVD - this is altogether a clever way to DIY this arrangement once you take care of hsyteresis in the circuit. Pertinent to note, the CC load terminals should carry no load beyond their rating if used as LVD - they should simply signal a suitable relay when to open or close the load bearing contacts.

Easylearner: Prag inverter is only one of the moderately priced inverters with DOD setting capability, and its over 80k mor e expensive that its contemporaries, 4kva 48v prag is about 250k, while mustpower and felicity of same capacity is about 160k - 180k |

SolnergyPower: does it hv battery selector switch? i hv a bias against mecury products, their inverters are usually nor pure sine wave and their battery is nt durable, except perhaps the flooded |

Topmost11: brother, i guess that invention is still a work in progress - like so many other promising ones yet to see the light of day. who knows what the future might hold? |
| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 7:38pm On Oct 07, 2019 |
I can confirm that the Felicity IVPL models all have user customizable DoD cutoff settings. Because the Felicity DoD setting is made via software (part of inverter setup) it offers more precise control than the Prag models I have seen where the DoD is analog (you rotate a small dial) and the Prag requires some trial and error to get the desired voltage cutoff point. earthrealm: 1 Like |

Yes we have Felicity inverters for sale - please reach out directly to me. The idle consumption for the 24v models (no load applied) maxes out at 80w. The inverter self consumption (energy consumed internally by the inverter while powering loads) is about 40-60w max. This is often the real factor to measure as the inverters are all capable of bypass charging (allow battery charging while switched off). Malevonent: 1 Like |

Good evening my ogas.... I'm just a newbie, and I need inverter that can power just my 32 inches led TV and Ps4 slim console and just a standing fan... For like 5-6 hours daily..... I can charge with my generator and public power ...please what is the least amount Dat can set this up...?thanks in anticipation |
| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by SolnergyPower: 8:37pm On Oct 07, 2019 |
What I'm offering you is BLUEGATE 3.5KVA, 24V Inverter and not Mercury. It doesn't have battery selector switch. We installed this inverter for a farm, it worked morning and evening for over a year without complaints. We have to remove it and install a solar pump when the water demands of the farm increased. We've installed quite a lot over the years. Warranty and support are top notch. You can reach me on Ca.ll/What's.App: 080.333.439.11 Malevonent: |

Please look at my inverter and help me with any info please..new to this..would like to know if it was a good buy and how long it can go when fully charged.and loads i can put on it..thanks

| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 11:12pm On Oct 07, 2019 |
itzmoni: Luminous is a good rugged Indian inverter. The only downside is the low charging current (~13 to 15A) which shouldn't be much of an issue since the battery you have is 150ah. 1 Like |

NiyiOmoIyunade: That seem quite high, my GK series inverter has <35w in its documentation. Does anyone know how I can find the actual idle consumption of the inverter? |
| Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by NiyiOmoIyunade(m): 8:48am On Oct 08, 2019 |
Put a DC Clamp meter around the +ve or -ve battery cable with the AC loads disconnected - adjust or compensate appropriately if your meter is sensitive to the direction of current flow. The GK series inverter is transformerless so barring any superior engineering should likely have less idle consumption than a transformer based inverter. ojeysky: |

Amps × Battery Voltage will give you how many watts are being consumed.
