I don go mess up I tried connecting the communication cable to my Cc . As i on pv breaker na so my inverter that was off blow and now reads 12v same with the cc. If u connect 24v battery to the cc, e go the blink error but if u connect 12v the cc go start to the charge normal. Pls guys watin be my hope.

cutefy:
I just saw your post. Sorry this is coming late.

There's one thing about stand-alone inverters, they need to be connected directly to the battery terminal.

The charge controller should also be connected separately and directly to the battery terminals, (except you're using hybrid inverter where just one wire to the battery serves as both charge input and discharge output).

When you do this, the CC will detect the potential difference between the terminals of the battery and prepare for charging.

The inverter does not have such potential difference across it's terminals.

Now you've learnt your lesson, don't repeat same mistake.

bassdow:
though haven't used this product for any client BUT it looks like it should autoSelect battery voltage.

Are you sure you connected the battery cable to the right terminal and right polarity ? Certain mistakes are easy to make aTimes

bassdow:
what communication cable ?

Doubt that charge controller is meant to communicate anyThing. Na to just connect battery and solar panels.

try connecting again, they show us image of the error you getting and terminals.

AyarmBoye:
yea a good controller should

AyarmBoye:
you need to set the CC to 24v before you connect the battery to it since the battery is 24v….

Ezimuoh:
Your charge controller is supposed to have settings for system voltage, I guess its currently set at 12V, you need to change it to 24v. Share a picture of the cc

bassdow:
This also would work. Either way, just ensure to keep cables as SHORT as possible

bassdow:
Wait Ooo, You guys still doing your every Monday Holiday over there ? Public servants dey enjoy Ooo

Rather than TRYing to say it, attach clear pictures.

But without even waiting for pictures, would suggest you get someone who's comfortable with things like this or follow our lead.

First you got at least 2 Options:

OPTION 1:
Since the battery hehad doesn't use Bolt and Nut, kukuma connect the inverter's cables to the charge controller terminals. Just twist them together firstly, before inserting innto the terminal blocks hole before TIGHTening.

OPTION 2:
Buy long Bolt and Nut + washer. Ensure the bolts are at least 2-inches long. Also every bolt and Nut should have 2 washers.

Now connect the first end of the cable to the inverter. For the other end, attach a screw onto it and ensure it still got enough portion left.

Now take a section of the battery's cable and peel off the rubber protector a little, you see the flexible wires inside, divide them into 2 parts (still don't cut), just divide them, then pass the bolt (alreadying containing the waire coming from inverter) at the center, add washer and tightening with NUT.

After doing that, use enough Black tape to ensure everything is properly covered.

Would have done a SKETCH but just too lazy.

The battery head of that itel battery is not bolt and screw, it is more of socket and plug. That is what he’s try to say

AyarmBoye:
Guys please is this panel up to 300w before I go buy 4 pieces….im skeptical about it..The sticker shows 300w

First get home and get settled. No worry, we understand.

Then it's always RED (+ve) of inverter goes to POSITIVE (+ve) of battery. Then BLACK (-ve) of inverter goes to NEGATIVE (-ve) of battery.

Since you using external Charge controller, the +ve of the charge controller also goes to the POSITIVE (+ve) of the battery, while the -ve of the charge controller also goes to NEGATIVE (-ve) of the battery.

Hopefully said battery came with battery cables else you would need purchase appropriate cables. Don't use just any cable Ooo.

Hopefully your external charge controller is the type that autoSelects battery voltage. Most are, BUT still it's worth mentioning as there are those that ain't e.g the first time I connected my FangPuSun controller, glad I was quick to hear the sound of boiling inside the dryCell battery and my curiousity quickly kicked in to realize it doesn't autoSelect.

micxwell:
It's not heavy. Go and try 16kwh batteries, you'll understand the meaning of "damn"

You mean connect the sachet inverter to the battery or what ?

prince4pro2:
My itel 2.5khw just arrived . Guys hope I can use without charging or do I need to wait and charge fist? Cuz the thing just enter this evening. Is dam heavy!

AyarmBoye:
please charge to full first o….how many panels do you have to charge this?

chadbasin:
Please is Konga the best place to buy it from, and is Dayo the best brand?
Thanks.

Unfaized:
Can't remember the last time I used gas sha. I hear say gas don cost 🥱

dollarnaira:
No.

Turn on wall switch= standby
Turn on power botton= start
Click on fry and edit accordingly.

It stays in that memory next time.

N.B : Avoid boil at all cost bc it starts from the highest. Note too that the 1800w is actually around 1400w.

dollarnaira:
The cooker has no surge hence, you can use the 800 to 1000w from "fry" editable function. Your battery capacity is the main thing here.

temizeee:
Dayo induction cooker got here. Thanks to everyone that contributed to the question i asked earlier.

AyarmBoye:
father Laud…how many panels do you use and what’s the wattage? Which charge controller? Mppt or pwm?

Sorry for too many questions

bassdow:
if person carry better battery give una now, na same Una go talk say e too cost. When I got into Solar newly, na so I dey change battery almost every 8 to 9 months till I grew sense.

The Used ones I currently use now, don't see myself having to replace them even in 3 years time. Na so e suppose be.

AyarmBoye:
at least you have done experiments with it and have knowledge…Cause that GBM battery nah rubbish normally

bassdow:
GEL batteries are known to be sensitive like Lithium batteries. That's if it's the quality ones to begin with.
