Alright, so I think it is time for me to provide a personal review on the service and product of Wilmaria14, as well as share my learning experience in the last few weeks

I do not know if I would I say I was one of the "customers" or "beneficiaries" (considering the price) of the Ritar batteries he put up for sale towards the end of last year. You guys will be the judge of that...

On the 31st, I was in the Village when I made payment to Wilmaria14's account to book down one unit of the battery. The plan was for me to pick up the battery myself at Alaba on the 3rd when I come around that side for something, upon my return to Lagos. But then he informed me that the market was closed for the festive season, and wont be opening till 4th. I said, no problem, and we rescheduled for 4th.

4th came, he moved it 5th. 5th came, and he moved it to 6th, citing Logistic issues. The driver that was eventually detailed to deliver my battery didnt get to my location till 10pm that day. My folks had to go pick it up on my behalf the following day.

I got home earlier than usual and I went straight to the battery... ...but as soon as I unboxed it, I immediately doubted if it was the real Ritar battery.

The branding was a sort of sticker that was even washing away already. Plus, it looked very different from the ones I saw online. My heart skipped a beat, honestly.

Well, i just told myself, "I don buy am, be sey I don buy am. Make we rugged am". But I did draw the attention of Wilmaria14 to it, and he assured me that the battery was okay.

So the journey started. I began by charging it with my inverter, but it was taken forever to charge beyond 13v. Same thing happened when I charged it with my Anjing charger set to Automatic and Common battery setting. I had to switch to manual setting before I began to see some little improvements. I remember charging the battery with my Anjing charger for 15 good hours, on the second Saturday/Sunday of the month, and it didnt go beyond 14.6v. I was like, which kind wahala be this? Even that stone beans wey I cook for my NYSC year that time no tey like this before e don na...

Apparently, the battery had sat in stock for a long time, and it had built up a lot of resistance/sulphation that needed to be broken down with either long charging hours or larger charge current. Nepa was not helping matters either, so I kept wondering what I was going to do.

Something just ministered to me to charge the battery using both my inverter and my charger set to Manual setting. Brethren, that was my eureka moment! As soon as I plugged both in, the battery voltage moved by 0.5v in like 6 seconds. The Anjing charger was pushing in about 16.2A, while the inverter was pushing in about 10-15A. Madam had recently used it to 12.3v that evening, so in less than an hour of charging with this new combination, my beloved battery was already at 13v...

However, I noticed that the inverter stops charging, and the battery-full indicator comes on, as soon as the battery voltage hits about 13.5 (which now takes about 3hours to reach), so only the Anjing charger continues the charging process.

This is where it gets interesting...

The charging then gets slower (especially in the earlier period I bought the battery as the resistance was still high) since only the Anjing is charging now and pushing in about 15.5A. Sometimes, it would barely get to 14.2v before Nepa eventually takes the light or I have to switch off the gen and use the inverter.

But with constant usage and charging, the charging time was improving and getting shorter. Soon, the battery was hitting 14.4/5v in just 5 hours.

Without any attempt at praising or advertising the Anjing charger, I want to say that it was really helpful in this process. If not for it, this battery would have have been grossly undercharged, and Wilmaria14 and myself would have been dragging each other here.

I noticed that, even though the Anjing was set to manual charging, it does not just push out large/steady current without considering the charge level of the battery, causing it to overcharge and swell. No. As the battery eventually approached the region of 14.7 - 14.9v, the charger was reducing the current being pushed in to as low as 4A thereabout, and it began to approach Trickle charge level.

I think it is at this stage that the charger does the repair work. The current it discharges is very small (about 2A), and the battery remains at 14.9v for a long time. Infact, 2 nights ago when we had light all through the night, the battery stood at 14.9 for about 4 hours before they took the light.

Let us talk about the back up time...I know y'all so eager to here that part...

Even before the improvements in the charging process, the backup time was impressive. At first, we were using only at night, on an average load of about 50w (33w rechargeable fan, about 3 5w bulbs and chargers) and it never crossed 12.3v all through the night (about 7 - 8hours), as the battery charging improved, the backup time began to get super-impressive!

Typically, if it charges to the region of about 14.6/8v before power is cut off, the float charge then sits at 13.1. Once I put on the inverter with load, it drops to about 12.9 and tapers off gradually from there. The inverter is nearly on for 24hours now and it hardly crosses 12.3v on an average load of about 70w. It has never gotten to 12.0

My expectations have not been cut short...I just hope the battery keeps up this performance.

Summarily, would I patronize Wilmaria14 again? Hell yea! Would I recommend Wilmaria14 to people? F.uck yea!


PS: This expose would be grossly incomplete if I do not acknowledge and express my appreciation towards the efforts and support of Saint2ace and Dollarnaira. These men were super-helpful all the way! They kept on following up even before the delivery of the battery and during the testing stage.

Wilmaria14, you should thank Dollarnaira ooo...when I didnt get my battery in the first 2 days, I thought i had been scammed and I wanted to bring the matter here immediately (make we started for daylight dey find goat wey black na... ), but Dollarnaira took time to call and calm me down.

Time for photos!
This first set of pic shows the battery on the first day.

Good one,nice to hear it ended well. Enjoy ur battery

luminouz:
I'm on 12.0.5 right now.

My update settings was on automatic update download so I guess it took care of itself.


Alternatively, just go to download latest package and see what happens.

Wanted to try for 12.0.6 but Glo dey mess me up. Battery drained like hell, battery was around 89% this morning. Took the screenshot some minutes ago. Check my battery stats details below.

So na to just wait small till I switch to MTN.

Can u share a screenshot of the about page of ur phone...

Are you accusing Emefiele, of underhand dealings ........

Before Emefiele it was....

Lexusgs430:
This wan wey CBN don block moneyfex....... Nah trade by barter mata pass ........

Nobody must suffer..............


CBN no get sense at all........... Block legitimate routes simply encourages black market transactions..........

Naira dey die dey go, since inception of this dinosaur policy...............

But this was the plan all along, the black market has always been the easiest way to launder dirty money....

Valto:
oga willmaria aka mrsum17. what u are doing is becoming childish. stop using alternate monikers to promote sales. if u claim u bought from him, enjoy in peace and leave us alone. why do u keep coming here to bore us with incoherent epistles. here is not a testimony thread, rather a thread on How To Create A Locally Made Inverter With Ease

Bros u have said it all, people are learning how to start from scratch and people ar posting pictures of 8pcs of 220ah tubular batteries, or even high end batteries of 180k, some people either can't read or are too stupi.d to see right.

Abeg market don finish?

We've said it time and again, no one is stopping ads but an advert a page should be the standard so important topics are not lost.

Gosh people just have no self respect......

remi2good:
some folks just don't know when to draw the line.

I think it's time to go loco on some peeps here, dem say pickin wey no learn how to behave for house na for road stranger go teach am.

We wait.....

This nollywood home video never finish oh, stay tuned for part 2

This thread is a freaking joke...

Florence2021 stop flooding this thread.. You have been warned.. Cheers

This advert don start again...... Hmmmm

Florence2021:
Thank you Sir. I just wish I could have some money, get a shop and start selling something.

Madam, u're derailing the thread. Even a blind man knows NO when they see it, I believe u can better channel this energy thru reps in the house based on location and local governments, there are NGOs and even churches that take matter like urs seriously, I would suggest you follow thaes lines.

But it's glaring this man isn't any of that and also has a life to live, stop embrassing and bullying him online cos he decided to be nice.

Let decorum be our watchword..... Cheers

olopan:
I believe you know the terminologies

For the solar
Do 2 series and 4 parralel, with 16mm flexible cable

For battery
Do. 2 series and 4 parallel

Ensure that you use alternating terminals for charging - PWM and other for Load- Inverter.

Quick question, will the introduction of a busbar make this system more balanced and efficient?
Scenerio being a split in panels to 2pv array if 2s2p each, one connected to the own charger controller, and the second connected to the hybrid inverter to achieve more PV gains since CC is pwm on both external and hybrid (spec sheet should clarify).

Secondly, creating 2 banks of 2s1p and connecting to the busbar.

Lastly, all connections terminatiing on the busbar, drawing feed from the busbar too.

As stated above will this create a more balanced and efficient system, or there will be too much power loss.

I await responses

My Personal Review on Bison

The phone has been serving me well, no hanging, no lagging. Battery lasts very even when it's doing hard work like using so many apps at a time though gets hot which makes the battery drain faster. Used for more than 8hrs at a stretch and still have reserved battery.
Sound quality is good

The oga kpatakpata of them all. The phone enter closet for toilet for midnight and I remove and clean. To God be the glory, it is what I'm using to type and listening to music right now.
So the water resistance is real and definitely you can use to snap under water.

The phone is a good buy. I love it

Nice one. Hope people no go ask for review again?

FantasticJ:
The seller should go and open a thread for his sale and stop flooding this place.

It's all you people that made Nigeria like this and this country can never progress if una no change una attitude.

This is a clearance thread, why are you advertising new items that you can't let go at a token? Rather you want to make profit.

Anufia

If ur focal point is the seller why quote me? I will however not dignify you with a response, but let me ask a quick question: if am an anufia (wild animal) as u rightly quoted and we're in the same forum (which is obvious) what does that make u? Food for thought
Cheers brother....

ModelX:
Do not be silly. 32,000 naira after discounts( which are available to every buyer). Bought two only last week. But the point is that THIS IS A CLEARANCE THREAD! How many times do you nits have to be reminded??

Why are we like this? Even at the discounted price u started it's roughly 39,500 minus pickup feeds at the post office.
While the thread might be a clearance thread it doesn't mean that one should sell a brand new item at a loss just to please some people.

And please let's be guided in our choice of words, this is a public forum and showcases our true nature. Cheers

Lucky You...

afope:
Thannks for your response.. The technical details is not a problem and its not my focus here. My question relates to durability only. I googled Genus and Luminous inverter and got an Indian review site (something like "shutmouth"and the reviews were negative. I couldn't get anything on Prag or cyberpower.

I am just looking for advice on a durable inverter that can last me a long time.. at least 7 to 10 years with proper maintenance.. any advice ?

Get prag then, I've been using mine for 5yrs (I've fixed it once, a change of the board), the beauty of it is that they have an efficient after sales support, so no worries there.

dacool1:
Well I wanted to order one on jumia then I went to aliexpess for more reviews and I got to read lots of complaints abt the battery, speakers, mic etc
PS I have used A3, A5 pro, also have A7 pro.

U read from AliExpress and yet the least score for the phone on any store has been 4.7 out of 5. Make we dey fear God when we talk atimes.

It's a different story if u had said u were concerned about battery, speaker and mic etc than what u wrote up there, but we all have our own style of passing a msg. Cheers bro.....

dacool1:
Is anyone using bison. Please drop your real life review

Read through the pages, reviews have been given by some people here....

dacool1:
I would love review of the Bison. Heard it has lots of issues

The only thing u heard was the issues and how did u get to hear?

DeathToBEGGARS:
i have been looking for it for close to 30mins and cant find it

Go to front page and scroll down to the bottom of the page, u'll see it after the last topic on that page....

honsule:
Am using same phone, but I haven't bother to unlock the bootloader yet

I'm just tired of the google dialer and messages. If not it's an awesome device

BarrElChapo:
Seems the clear app data doesn't work anymore
Being trying it but it's ain't granting access

If u like the app buy it. I bought the unlocked for a token, and it's for life so u might give it a try.

Opengates:
Mr. Feflo, great works.

Please do you have a brand new smart charger 50AH, 12/24 volts or 12v only?

If you have, how much and can you send it through a vehicle to me?

Thanks

Why not order the famicare battery charger online, saves you all the stress....

honsule:
Which phone are u using?

Redmi note 9s

Abduletudaye:
Wawu... Maybe the gurus in the house can help...

Thanks for your input boss, waiting to hear from dem

Abduletudaye:
Never heard of this before.. what device though?

Note 9s, wanted to unlock and flash Indian ROM, tired of Google dialer and messages

Nu3L:
How's it, improvement on the system stability?

I've never had issues with performance but the phone seems a lil bit faster than normal.... Still watching sha.

uctomide:
Saw this update on my Redminote9s and I downloaded it... I was busy at work for like an hour. After which I decided to install the up but got an error that unofficial update not supported

Download the update file and flash manually, just did mine now.....

Quick question, Is anyone having issues unlocking bootloader, keeps resetting back to 168hrs, I don tire oh. 3 attempts in 30days and still same

Can we stop with the adverts already. What's happening here sef, one advert by one seller on a page is fine, but but continuous adverts back to back is annoying.

Na so Market bad reach? Abi na only for nairaland u get business.

Please u guys should go get a life. What nonsense
