What battery chemistry is inside? If it's lead acid, my brother it's not it o. Like I always say, those 12v4.5ah batteries in those fans are crap. Short run time and 3 months, maximum 6 months lifetime.

I have settled for DC powered QASA fan and diyed solar charged lithium battery pack for it. It runs 9 hrs max speed after full charge.

isahx04:
For your rechargeable fan

Replace the lead acid battery with lithium ion / lithium polymer battery. The battery protection circuit in most of the rechargeable fans are poorly design which in no time kill the battery. To get optimum performance from the rechargeable fan replace it with lithium battery

I looked the way of li-on batteries too but my fear Is this "catch fire, catch fire" issue everybody keeps talking about li-on batteries. I can't afford the ready made and will have to build one myself. Hence my increased fear. Supposing a member of my family made a mistake or something happens? I am hardly home.

What is the ah of the battery that goes 9 hrs

I sent you an email. Thanks for your concern.

I can help u build 12v 4.5ah pack for a token...i have all materials currently on ground.

saint2ace:


Can u build up to 7ah with incorporated bms at same 12v and at what price?

earthrealm:


Oh...if so the Voc of most 250w panels is about 38v, thus 3 in series will exceed 100v, which is the max rating of your cc..some cc cant accept a lil above, some don't..so to play it safe, getting 2 more 250w panels and doing a 2s2p setup may be the best route

ok, stilll a lil crude, as it simply groups batts into flooded, sealed etc...and doesnt state the corresponding voltage charge setpoints..

take quanta batts for example, its float is 13.5v, boost 13.8v, while Long Batt has float 13.8v, boost 14.6v, and they are both smf agm batts.
so hope you now understand, the shortcomings of the luminous inverter

good the owner 's primary charging source is solar, and not grid.
left for me luminous isnt in my top 5 chinco makes when am considering a serious 2.5kva and above inverter...unless its for off grid installation

sent

earthrealm:


how soon are you getting the genpal?, ..am tempted to buy the GK series as well.
4.8kwh for a setup that goes into float by noon isnt bad...as most systems usually produce 40 to 50% of their capacity by noon. this implies you wud be hitting 3.5kwh to 4kwh by noon

ojeysky:


GenPal secured will hopefully get through with installation this week but will only be able to provide some useful info next week. That said I checked my log today and was at 2.7kwh by 11am and the system did 5.2kwh on Friday, which is the highest have done so far. Will see how far it goes with at least 3hrs constant GenPal load from next week.

Cheers!

I LIKE THE GRAPHS, did it come with the inverter?..or another app?

@ house, anybbody running a batteryless inverter? in battreyless mode?

kadorzy:


Your array can hit 8kWhr

ojeysky:


I guess that will show that, the Panels/controllers does not need to be the expensive big names to serve well

kadorzy:


Hahaha.... with the big leagues you get more.
I did squeezed 7.8kWh/D from a 1.5kWp kuMax array on a FlexMax 60.

kadorzy:


GenPal for 3hrs will be in the range of 1~1.5 kWhr or even less if your preset temperature is above 28°

earthrealm:


your array is 2kw right?. 8kwh isnt big leagues then, let it hit 10kwh wch is 500% and above, then we will believe

efuro:
Check your mail. Feed me back with your results!
Welcome to flexmax family.

Thanks for the forensic analysis bro.

I'm planning to get at least another panel to augment what I have.

Between getting a 300 watts panel and getting 2 150 watts panel, which do u recommend.

I'm asking because of the amps I should expect in harvest

Good Day to everyone,

I have few questions to ask

(1) Is it all inverters that does automatic changeover when there is power outage? If not, how can I know the one that has automatic changeover?
(2) I have a load of 950 watts (14 energy saving bulbs, 5 celing fans, a TV, a laptop and other small loads), Is it advisable to go for 1.5KVA or 2.4 KVA inverter system ?
(3) is it all inverters that come with chargers for self charging?
(4) I have ordered for two new 100ah batteries, can i complement it with one used 200ah battery?

earthrealm:


BROS, think this your new biz idea well well o

@HOUSE, who has canadian/german solar panels for sale 300/330watts
