I could sense that usual mentality from afar.

Well, I have tried

My brother, enough has been said. All of us don try for the matter, like I said earlier I hope someone learns from the narratives being churned out.....

Lol @ the watching a movie bit bro, I believe its a compliment.

I was certain you were the lucky person who came before me and scooped away most of the Quantas, he said the person was also a nairalander and was the person who even made him sell cheaper.

Funnily I use the Wanlesanhe to charge the Quanta's and it usually takes it to 14.2v with no issues noticed. I once tried to go higher with the charger in manual mode and instantly I stopped once I started smelling acid.

Even my solar is set to take it to 14.4 and not noticed any degradation yet.

I can't remember where i read that it's a good thing to take used LA batteries above their manufacturer voltage.... apparently helps to fight sulphation.

Good battery brands make sense, a word is enough for the wise on this.

I was the first to get there on the said day, all the batteries were still there could have scooped the whole bunch if I wanted to then lolz, but that's in the past, I have no regrets whatsoever, I believe it was the price to pay for experience.

Good to hear ur batteries are jamming to the beats, I hope we get to hear positive feedbacks from individuals once we begin to shun fake products and embrace more premium brands, pricey yes but definitely worth its weight in gold.

Shalom!!!

Lol! @ blender can grind bottle to powder. That means it will probably not have problem in grinding beans for moi-moi.

Please confirm if it can effectively do this function, so that I can contact you for one. Thanks

Remember that a lot of factors will determine the final consistency of ur beans paste, the most important being that it should be too thick and the cup shouldn't be too full. There's a reason why the engine guys grind it severally to achieve the smooth paste.

Just my 2 kobo....

Ok this is going to be long, but I should have dropped this post ages ago.

Late last year I was in the need of some new batteries as my gels had died prematurely and my experiment of using car batteries as backup was becoming spent.

Luckily for me, one of the top posters on the top alternative energy thread on NL posted that he had some used batteries for sale. A hoard of Quanta and Genus batteries. My instinct was to seal the deal on the Quantas as universal (including international) feedback on them has been positive, the only issue was the said poster felt that the Quantas were "average" and he could only vouch for the Genus.

I got to his house, as lovers of AE we gisted a bit. He brought out a device, I am almost certain it is better than the one you posted and tested the batteries for me. The Genus passed the test with flying colours while the Quantas performed poorly. He then thought me a very important lesson about "Resistance" which is one of the main parameters these devices use to tell you if a battery is good or not.

In simple terms for us here, Resistance is how well a battery holds a load without dropping voltage i.e. if I put 12 amps on a 200amp battery that has been fully charged and reads 13v.... roughly it should maintain 12.7-12.8v (12.7 is a full battery) for at least 30 mins or more. So long and short, the measure of voltage drop when load is applied. The Quantas failed miserably in this.

So I went ahead, against my instinct, and only got 2 of the Quantas and then 2 Genus as my host had been kind enough to educate me and give me the history of the batteries (the Genus were clearly newer and seemed to have also been charged regularly with Solar, and the Quantas looked abandoned). The price of the Genus was almost double the Quanta because he could vouch for them. In fact he was kind enough to still give me a discount on the Quantas further. Easily my best experience buying batteries.

Once I got home, for the first few days, my Walensehe was exclusively charging the "Average" Quantas individually. I had about 2 ammeters at that time so I was easily able to measure amps going into the battery and amps going out. Within 2 days I was messaging my host that the scrap Quantas were easily giving me 100amps individually and staying above 12.2v. I thanked him profusely.

After a week or 2 I decided to try my "genius" Genus batteies which I now wanted to sell seeing as the 2 Amarons are quite sufficient for my power needs. Once again I tetsted individually. I slapped 12amps of load on it and again it was doing perfect, voltage not even flickering and staying above 12.8v.

I felt so blessed.

Not up to 2 hours I heard a strange cry......my inverter was screaming .....I checked all my devices and I couldn't believe what I saw. Voltage on my Genus was saying 10.5....I checked load, still the same 12 amps and finally I checked my cumulative amps 16amps!! 16amps from a 200 amp battery that had passed all tests and I bought at a premium!! I was stunned.

I quickly tested the second one and the exact same behaviour was noticed. It cut off at around 17amps. I don't think any batterys have shocked me as badly as this did.

Now i did not inform my gracious host about this as it clearly was not his fault. These are the dangers of buying used batteries, they are a gamble, and you must always be ready to sell as scrap. But the lessons learned are tremendous.

I also blamed myself a bit and I would tell you why. You see I did not want to buy the brand Genus, as i had previous experience of it. A friend that I had introduced to the inverter world earlier bought 2 brand new batteries from the main distributor Simba and within 6 months he was calling in warranty and they replaced one for him. I put it down to the fact that the cheap inverter he got from Simba could have poorly charged it. A few months later the whole system became pointless. That was my experience of Genus and why I showed hesitation in buying them.

So to answer your question, no test is superior to a properly run load test.... and clearly a properly run load test for Hours and not a few seconds as these devices do!

4 months later, I am still enjoying my Quantas- even added solar and the Genus bank (now connected together in parallel) can now produce 60amps ( from 400 oh, lol) but only about 50 amps if put on that same load of 12 amps.

@ saint2ace

How far? Did you also buy the Genus or only the Quanta?

Reading ur write up is just like watching a movie with you as the main character, lucky you I must say cos u got the quanta, I so wanted to take the quanta cos like u said it was sold for dirt cheap but the charging algorithm for quanta discouraged me, as the users had a prag inverter which means absorb charge would hit 14.5v and quanta could only take 13.8v max.

Long story short 2pcs of Genus batteries connected in parallel couldn't do a 100w load for 1hr, so I counted my losses and sold as scrap, lost half my money I less than 4days, even crypto no bad reach that one..lolz

So lessons learnt, always stick to an established brand.

However, not all used battery scenerios are sad, as I bought 2pcs fullriver batteries from a nairalander in October for dirt cheap, bros wanted to swap out his old batteries of 2yrs for 2 brand new ones, so I went on a trip to gbagada, took the batteries off him for an amazing price (bros God bless you for ur good heart) and got home; charged the batteries full and dropped a load of 400w on the batteries. I was waiting for the inverter to sing the melodious tune it was known for, but Celine never sang, waited for almost 6hrs before Celine rose from her slumber.
Wow, I was impressed and funny as it sounds that's my main battery bank till date and it's still firing on all cylinders.

So the tales of used batteries are one of beauty and the beast, but for well established brands like fullriver, quanta, monbat and if u're lucky to get the original then Ritar, it's a worthwhile risk.

I hope these has been able to educate someone out there. Cheers...

Just a thought, is it that people can't phrase questions or responses properly, or we as Nigerians have this mentality that we know it all?

If we're sure of our facts and already have a mindset based on whatever notion, why come to a public forum to ask for enlightenment when one already has their mind made up.

Food for thought I guess.

Una well done oh

The phone specs is ok
The phone battery is awful,[/b]which you lied about
[b]Also the phone display flickers at low brightness, which you lied the phone doesn't have any issue
But I've been looking for a phone with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset,and it runs game perfectly
I will use it for browsing watching movies and playing games
I will have to save another money for a small android phone that doesn't have any issues
Then the small android phone is going to be my daily driver
So...I'm keeping it
But at least next time be honest before selling phones and don't be lying that the phones don't have any issues when u yourselves have not tested it thoroughly
Just my own piece of advice

The conclusion of the bolded makes no sense to me but do enjoy ur 30secs of fame. Enjoy ur device...... Cheers

eternityk:
also the screen is flickering, when I decrease the brightness
I cannot use the phone in low brightness
the screen flickering is too much

I waited for ur call all day and didn't hear from you. I'm extending ur drop off time to 4pm tomorrow to return the device and get ur full refund and pls make sure the tamper evidence seal is not broken.

Thanks......

Lovelynife:
Good morning. Please this is my second Anjing charger I bought from jumia. After usage like twice or thrice, I always hear a sound of 'Tarr' and it will stop working. please what am I doing wrong or am getting a fake product?

Anjing chargers cannot handle surge so if ur power supply fluctuates a lot please use a stabilizer.....

It can also be easily fixed by changing a MOSFET in the unit. Take it to a good electronic repair person to check...

eternityk:

Return the phone before 4pm today and get a full refund no questions asked. Thanks

eternityk:
OK lemme ask u this single question
Based on your answer I will accept I'm at fault
During the time you were charging the phone
Did you open many apps and put pressure on the processing power of the phone while charging it,including browsing heavily on it
The simple answer I want is a yes or no

Let me ask you a singular question too, can u sneeze and open ur eyes at the same time?

First law of maintaining a healthy charging system for ur device, never use ur phone and charge at the same time, u'll destroy your battery.

Leave ur phone to charge and use it when it's done. The phone cannot power a charging cycle and powering ur phone at the same time and u expect it to charge fast, what do u think is keeping the screen on and powering ur processor?

Uncle don't buy a dog and expect it to work like a donkey, no one is saying it's ur fault, we're only saying u should read up about batteries, charging, effects of charging and using ur device and how it all affects the general well being of ur device.

Lastly and most importantly, that phone is 3yrs old, don't put it at par with recent devices, battery and performance can never be same, that's why u're buying cheap... Food for thought

As for u telling me to answer yes or no, I won't dignify u with a response.......

eternityk:
I offed the phone removed the battery,after inserting the battery back,I plugged the charger. it started charging, I then on it and didn't on Internet and it quickly got to 100%
this phone is somehow

Return the phone....

eternityk:
sorry for disturbing you ooo
the phone is charging slowly, very slowly
the phone that was stolen from me with 4000mah battery and using it on 4g constantly, the phone still charges well
this phone is stuck on 80% for more than 3 hours now on ordinary 3g
I'm just only on opera mini ooo
I'm using original Samsung charger head,with original new age USB that is fast with any phone I've tested it with
what's the meaning of this now

This is very funny, what's the charging current of ur brick head and what's the current output of ur cable? I charged that same phone from 0 - 100% in 1hr 20mins.

Like Oga Lexus said, return the phone and get ur refund, life no hard abeg......

But food for thought, u might need to understand a bit about charging algorithms, power output of accessories especially ur chargers and cables, and finally fast charge protocols for phones and phone types.

Cheers.....

This is actually the first time that I am using Umidigi phone, so are you saying that I shouldn't expect an Android 11 update for my A9 pro?

Umidigi doesn't do android updates they only do security patches and fixed via incremental updates. If u want android 11 on umidigi, u have to buy a device with android 11 out of the box or u unlock bootloader, flash twrp custom recovery and flash custom roms based on A11.
