He might have a good inverter. But the same things keep happening to most people, like my friends. They all start complaining after 8month that their batteries are messed up. I keep telling them to get and use supercharger but we all need to learn after an expensive repair or damage. Lol
Wetin we talk reach there be say, he say inverter dey charge battery. I com say if u don’t have external charger inverter cannot charge the battery else maybe u are using solar with it.
He com upload him own inverter and it has charger, I had to accept say inverter dey charge battery cos me I never see inverter whey charge battery without external charger.
As I com see ur own external charger now, e mean say wetin I know b4 no b fluke. That is my external charger

Hey guys, I’m new to this

How will I know when my inverter battery is full?

I charge with solar panels and Nepa too.

Well sir, every inverter is different. I might not be able to answer this questions. But some inverters have indicators to show it is fully charged, some make noise. Some just cut charging when fully charged, so don't even show or make noise.

It all depends on the brand of inverter though.

Generally inverters should charge batteries, or that is what they make you think. I have been using inverter for 5yrs and the first 3years where problem upon problem.

Either batteries are weak or they didn't charge well. I had to use my guarantee to change batteries twice. Then I realize at times they will tell you to bring the batteries and supercharge it and then return it to you. Then it hit me, why don't I just get the damn super charger.

Since the supercharger, my guy no more issues oo. Na him I add more batteries to make am better. But like I said somepeople don't have problem with their own so let them enjoy it while it last. It is still better than generator repairs and waking up at 2am to change over to NEPA, only to enter your house and they take light again. Lol grin grin

Okay plan for a replacement in near future unless you've been discharging below 50%

I think he's well below the 50% DOD, that's why it takes about 30mins to charge his battery full. I light be wrong but I think he's doing okay

Fisher007:


Yes I guess that is it, I am not sure about the 10a. Although I switched it to the 24v instead of the 12v. It takes almost 30mins to 1hr at times with the super charger, depending on how low the batteries are. It shows full and makes a noise to indicate it is completely charged.


I believe it's the same. I just wonder why people ain't buying it if it's so good? Find attached the picture of the one I saw

@Timileyin1234 @Fisher007

I dont need an external charger. My inverter is Charger built in. Look around, a normal efficient system should have Inverter and Charger in one unit, that's why you will find most top brand inverters not making an Inverter then making separate charger.

Plus, my battery is not lead acid, Fisher007, if your friends complain after 8months, they're either using a low quality battery or bad algorithm charger. I use Lithium Ion, not even iron Phosphate, you might want to read the differences between them. Read through several threads and find if anyone using "lithium" complains of messed up battery.

@Timileyin1234, you are funny to ask if my unit is a UPS. So you think everyone MUST have a separate inverter and external charger to have a complete Solar system? You need read further.

Lol, there is noting wrong with my charging and I don't understand the supercharging that folks are saying. My battery saps the hell out of my charging system which has a max charging capacity of 60A. It's super enough for me grin

The lithium ion part, caught my interest though, never knew those batteries are in Naija. I will look up on that. Thanks and have a great day.

From the pics u posted, Ur inverter is a stand alone inverter without an inbuilt charger. Most inverter systems connected to grid have an all in one system so it's not a fallacy, infact more people in Nigeria have the inbuilt system more, only those off grid with solar systems do more of standalone units. And even at that some solar inverters are hybrids with inbuilt solar charge controllers.

Try and read more and u'll find out the prevalent trend

Hi Guys.. What load can a single normal car battery carry? That's the only thing i have at the moment. What else do i have to get and who can assemble it for me. I just need to power my laptop and a standing fan

If budget isn't much an issue , you can use a pure sinewave inverter as seen below (50k) ! An improvised ups with modified sinewave output can affect your fan coil on the short run , you will also need an intelligent charger (12-18k) attached to car battery .

Hey guys, I want to go totally off grid

But I guess it’s not all possible

Because in my current setup, PHCN light from the mains charges my inverter

But now, we have not had light in my area for over 24 hours

Does that mean once my inverter battery runs out, I’ll be in total blackout ? Since it’s the Nepa light that is charging the inverter

Is there anyway my installer can reconnect the setup in a way that the Solar panels charges the inverter too?

Thanks

Hmm... good morning sir

Please note that Inverters are not for storage of power, they only convert dc voltage or Battery voltage if you may to AC ( normal electricity if you may).


So once your battery is used up, that’s all, all required is a recharge.

It’s more like saying after your phone battery is used up, is there a way to charge the phone to make sure you have more backup time, no, you can only charge a phone battery not the phone in particular.

@ewizard1: You are right. most people here on this thread are dealers that knows little or nothing about Renewable Energy Systems using Solar Powering.

After one week of training, they think they are certified engineers not even near a newbie technician.

In every power systems, there is NO SINGLE KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL THAT IS UNIVERSAL or ONE SIZE THAT FITS ALL that is a solution for a client or project.

You just need to have an intensive training practically on the field, work with one or more experienced engineer or technician to learn.

Balance of System is highly needed Renewable Energy (Solar Powering).

Once a comprehensive site survey had been carried out on your location.

Specifics will be given to you according to your POWER NEEDS and BUDGET.

You do need anyone to tell you this is the inverter or battery or other stuffs you need is this.- Most are dealers that just want to make money not proffer solutions to a client.

Hmm when one thinks he or she knows it all too Then that proves to me that person knows nothing too.

Now yes some inverters might come with inbuilt charger which I didn't disagree with. But you might need a supercharger. Most time the batteries goes low below the normal charging level point and for inverters with inbuilt charger to bring it back up might be impossible.

That is why I suggested the use of a supercharger. I am not a renewables energy expert but from experience of using inverter with inbuilt charger for 3yrs and then added supercharger to it for 2yrs. I observed the difference in life span of the batteries. It last way longer than before . I noticed this and that is why I always advocate for the use of a supercharger with ones inverter to help keep the batteries alive.

It was just an opinion to help others out there who are having issues with their batteries or inverter. I didn't come to claim Mr right or expert in renewable energy. Simple

But the superchargers overcharge the battery if not checked. pls who has a rectifier or psu of 14v to 15v to sell or build. I believe if i can get it my battery will be saved from overcharging or is there any correct automatic smart charger one could get? Famicare is not smart at all.
