Health › Re: A Fellow Nairalander Needs Your Help On Bed Bugs Issue, Please Help by saint2ace(m): 8:10am On Mar 27, 2016
KIKO720:
Greetings nairalanders, Let me get straight to the point. I am a student, ALL OF A SUDDEN this semester i started noticing Numerous bed bugs in my room both on the walls, curtains, and some other places which i cant mention all, FUNNY ENOUGH i ddnt experience anything of such since my 3 years in the school.I wondered what, how and why it happening now. Please nairalanders HELP ME WITH POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS and prevention. and maybe any Insecticide that is very useful. thanks Anticipating for your help all
Lol, it's funny but a norm in places where u have multiple pple cohabiting esp in hostels etc. Just go to the store and get the bottled Baygon with a dispenser attached then get Sniper, all together it shouldn't cost more than 2k get a manual sprayer from guys selling pesticides on the street. Mix both at a ratio of 5:1 with baygon being the majority. Spray on foams, corners etc especially in places where you see the bugs, spray directly on them as much as u can and all hiding places and leave the room for at least 4-5hrs, that sh*t is strong. Repeat every 5days till they're totally eliminated. "That's what my guys used in the hostels back in the days". Enjoy

Im2Busy2Bother:
The level of charging current you see is dependent on the SOC ( State Of Charge) of the battery. The more depleted the battery is the HIGHER the charging current will be.

To achieve the maximum charge, you have to totally drain the battery ( that is use it till it goes off), then try charging back and see if it will hit the maximum rated charging current which is 20A for your set up.

Gracias
Gracias Papi, I totally agree with you, don't mind me, I was trying to compare it to another charger I have "sterling power ultra charger" it's 24v 30amp and it maintains a straight 30amp till it goes into float, then it begins to trickle charge; it is only at this stage that the amperage begins to drop.

Oh well it's 2 different technology based on the same premise, so it'll definitely not be the same. Once again thanks boss, ur post was insightful I do appreciate

I told him that u were the one that bought the brand new inverter battery for me, he shouted and said why I no tell am on time ,make he greet u very well.
Its ur turn to teach us about the 24v smart charger,
U guys with 24v ups or 1.2kva ups are u ready ?
Lol grin ceejay80s abeg I no fit laff na real "greet me well " oh well nothing spoil, the charger can do both 12v and 24v so u can choose what u want; but like I told him, he could have ordered higher amp capacity chargers doing 24v that way he'll broaden the market. He said he would try, but his problem was that the last batch of 24v chargers didn't sell at all.

So we're hoping that with the level of sales now, he'll improve on his wares.

Sorry I was busy then.
It shows green when the batteries are fully charged. If left for a few days and the charger is reconnected, the light will turn red for a few minutes then turn green again. In my case I had to charge the batteries while the UPS was disconnected from the batteries for it to work properly. When fully charged I reconnect the wires to use it. The problem was from the UPS.

Sadly, I don't use it any more, my setup got burnt from an electrical surge. Also burnt my two generators close to it.
So sorry about your loss, God will surely aid you in replacing ur losses. Remain Blessed.

GOD bless you too my brother, the guy spoke highly of you; said the charger biz started moving well after he met U.

After testing the charger I only have one reservation, the LCD indicator only showed 10.9amp at fast charge when the charger is supposed to be a 20amp charger. I was thinking it would show 20amp.

For those using the digital versions pls does ur indicator show the total amp capacity of ur chargerhuh Looking forward to ur responses.

Thanks so much for the reply. I know of the battery. It OK, the only doubt is the 2 ceiling Fans, do they consume much charge pls? I don't know the number of wt they work on. But as stated the appliances I just listed, with a very good 100ah battery will it last me for like 10 hrs after a successful battery charger?
Each of the ceiling fans has a power wattage of 45 watts each making 90watts, the TV will be like 100watts and the bulbs, decoder, laptop and phones will consume a total wattage of almost 100watts. That total load on a 100ah battery will definitely not take u more than 5hours; that's if it takes u that far. My opinion sha.

iamawara:
This is the best post I have ever seen here. And am glad, I will love to set up one of this inverter for my house. But please you guys should help me answer these questions.

1) I have 4 energy saver bulbs
2) 1 LED polystar TV, 1 startime decoder
3) 2 ceiling Fans
4) my laptop and 2 mobile phones.

I have a 1000watts inverter, and planning of buying a 100ah battery, please since I have that inverter must I buy the blue gate UPS? Plus and for how many hours will my fearly used 100ah battery will last. Thanks and God bless you guys
Welcome boss, best decision u'll ever make; on ur question it'll on depend on a number of factors ranging from how good ur battery will be to the level of charge and of course the most important being the load u'll putting on the setup. As for the UPS u don't need it since it serves the same purpose as the inverter.

But depending on your type of inverter u could either skip the smart charger if it comes with an inbuilt charger, or get a smart charger if it doesn't .

Hello Joehis2013, I don't think this unit has the capacity to do desulphation, the process involves a pulse charger with low power output or a smart charger that has a desulphation capacity. U can search on konga or jumia for pulsetech products or if you have someone who can order on amazon, try sterling power ultra charger; but dem no dey ship to naija oh.....lol

Oga ceejay,i hail oo! I bought d 20A,12v charger frm yur guy @ chidi sam ventures,but discovered it cannot charge my ups which is24v, 1500va,use 24v batteries in series inside making it difficult to use a 12v battery charger,i told d seller i will return it for a 24v or 12v/24v battery charger which he said he dnt hav b/c pple dnt demand for that he wont order for only one item,culd u use yur good rapport with him to convince him to b supplying d 24v charger,since it will not b inconvenient 4 me to be disconnecting/connecting batteries to charge in parallel anytime phcn bring light.
I'd advise you save urself the stress and just get a 12v UPS without battery for #1500 or max #2000 and keep ur 24v UPS for now, I got a 24v charger on konga, the worst 25k i've ever spent, the charger is more manual than my manual grinding machine. It's just sitting down doing nothing cos everytime the lite goes u have to reconnect it all over again and the process na jamb form.

So do urself a favor and get a 12v UPS or if u can afford it get an inverter, u can get in computer village for about 18k for a 1kva 12v series just ask around. Jah Bless.
Nairaland General › Re: Hidden Truth About The Fall Of The Naira by saint2ace(m): 10:06pm On Feb 25, 2016
ikbnice:
Please let me explain to those of
us who don't understand
Economic terms. Dollar has not
increased since Buhari became
president.


1. Dollar is not our currency so
dollar should not be our
business.

2. Our problem is not the
government but our problem is
our importers and consumers.

3. Naira has remained at 197
naira to 1 dollar since Buhari
became president.


4. Buhari has promised not to
devalue the Naira and he has
maintained that promise.

5. Both at CBN and at interbank
rates, dollar has remained 197.

6. However because we are too
lazy to produce what we use in
Nigeria we import even
toothpicks and matches.

7. Buhari does not like the
importation of luxury goods
because luxury goods is the
reason for most corruption, that
is why he banned 41 products
from having access to forex.


8. However when Nigerian
importers insisted on importing
those 41 products, FG asked
them to find their dollar at the
BDCs parallel market also known
as black market.

9. And to discourage the
pressure Nigerians are
mounting on the Naira just to
get dollars for importation, CBN
banned DMBs from selling
dollars to BDCs.

10. To survive the pressure of
excess dollar demands, BDCs
resorted to sourcing for dollars
from neighbouring countries
through illicit money laundering
routes.

11. Because of the risks faced by
BDCs to source for dollars, and
because of the increase in
demand for dollars by importers
because China just resumed
from their business holidays,
BDCs keep increasing the price
at which they exchange dollars
to naira and now it is more than 300 naira
to 1 dollars.


[b]12. However that does not mean
that gov't has changed the
exchange rate because if our
genuine importers go to CBN
and fill Form M to import raw
materials for local production,
they will get dollars at 197 naira
each.

13. So the problem is that we
love to consume luxury foreign
products yet we are too lazy to
manufacture them here.

14. For example, you will see a dull
girl using iPhone 5 without even
knowing simple physics and
computer engineering part of
how that phone was produced.

15. I want Buhari to ban every
foreign product from Nigeria
until Nigerians learn to produce
and use Made in Nigeria
products.

16. Let us stop complaining
about dollar as if dollar has
become Nigeria's currency.

17. It is even bad enough that
most of those complaining
about the high exchange rate of
dollar do not have 1 single dollar
in their purse.


PLEASE USE MADE IN NIGERIA
PRODUCTS...
God bless 9ja.

2v x 24pcs will be way too much for him, one of this 2v 1000ah battery no be moi moi,
But if he has that in his house , when fully charged, the battery can go for 2weeks or more
Hello Ceejay80 et al, I think doing 1000ah batteries Is an overkill, they can get the regular 200ah 12v batteries x 4pcs will give the required voltage, but from the load mentioned a 2.5KVA - 3.5KVA 24v inverter can do the job and save him some serious cash.

I am interested BUT isn't there risk of explosion when you convert a normal petrol (gasoline) generator to a propane generator?

ceejay80s, saint2ace, bishop4life and pato405 what do you think about this stuff?
The technology has been around for awhile but have u asked why it's not so popular? Obviously it cleaner and quieter than using a petrol gen and only involves changing the caburator to the one that channels the propane gas, or one that can use both; unfortunately the cost of using gas still outweighs the cost of petrol and that's the singular reason it's not that popular.

The only cost efficient reason to use one now would be that u're connected to the gas grid and get it at a very cheap price.

Note this is just my opinion. Cheers

Hello, do you know if Mercury Battery is a good product, I just searched on Konga and it seems to be the most affordable out all the other brand. I am thinking of buying 200ah Mercury battery for my 500 watts inverter.
I've discovered that most batteries can take you thru ur basic needs, mercury may not be top notch but it will get the job done perfectly. And because pple don't trust the brand u have less fakes in the market.

But one thing I would advise is that u get a smart charger, not only will it charge faster but it will ensure that ur battery is optimized and remain in good condition. Under or over charging na him dey finish pple for this part of the world. Regards
