Valto:
u should take it easy with the rep. they work according to instructions given to them. btw, because of present realities(inflation, foreign exchange e.t.c)prices of goods can change within few hrs, talkless of 2days.

herrlekan:
I don't know the model number but I believe if they have more than one inverter of the same specifications, I would have been give at least two prices.

You can call Michael, his number is in the screenshot.

Juror:
That's odd, I got the 132k quote this morning also from them or isn't it the FL-IVPS1512 , 12V 1.5kVA?

Juror:
Are you sure it's 123k or rather 132k ?
Please confirm.

coldcandy:
Pls drop Felicity contact. I need their lifepo4 battery

Bought from a user who upgraded.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
You contacted the official Nigeria representative for price and you are still looking for a credible source?

The 300% surge rating is a common claim made by inverters of that form factor so nothing unique to Felicity or TBB.

Measuring idle/no load draw is a bit of a misnomer since no one just keeps the inverter on with zero loads - the charger can be set to run while the unit is off if your plan is to use it for charging batteries and not run loads off it.

dollarnaira:
Small 105A

dollarnaira:
Lol

Fear of LifePO4 is aggressively overhyped.
U dont v a bms for detecting d fuel gauge of generators, cars, etc use coner eye check and it ends there. My opinion o. My LifePO4 hardly do 12.9v sef.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
The Felicity 1.5Kva 12v sells for less than 125K from credible sources boss - this is a smart inverter with fully flexible voltage and LVD settings in the box.

It may be deliberate unfairness to compare 'company price' of one item with 'JUMIA price' of the other especially also comparing 1.2Kva TBB with 1.5Kva Felicity.

Anyways, whoever has need can pickup the inverters they find fits their needs best.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
I have been following this TBB matter with some interest.

I do not know what special benefits the TBB has but Felicity sell fully user programmable units all the way from 1.5Kva to 10kva. Below 5kva there are 12v and 24v models. The ability to program your inverter to your taste comes fully available out of the box.

Apart from very good after sales service, you can set flexible charge voltages (absorb and float) and even flexible LVD on these Felicity units making them suitable for lead acid and Lithium.

The above should satisfy entry level needs robustly I do not know if there is any extra advantage to these dumber seeming TBBs? Could it be price perhaps?

Valto:
sorry,12v 230ah is not available.i cant sell 4pcs

your tbb inverter can be set at thier office to charge at specific voltage.

Valto:
Assembled with high quality brand new EVE 230ah lifepo4 cells, DALY Bluetooth bms and thick metal box. Oga Valto how much will fully assembled 12.8v 230ah LFP cost?

Also, is "lifepo4 lithium battery fast charger" required when tbb 1.2kva inverter with 40a will be used?

netotse:
Sey you have deleted that post where you shaded us sha?

IRAPADA:
I bought for 40k on jumia,it 30a mppt

Juror:
Yes you can specify battery type and some other parameters directly on the inverter using the dip switch combinations but this doesn't still give you the flexibility of setting the voltages.

No VCC doesn't take care of that. Temperature affects the battery charging process, the TBB inverter comes with a temperature sensor which would be attached to the battery and enables the inverter to adjust the charging voltage based on the battery temperature.
That's what that part you share is referring to.

Juror:
Equalization isn't for all batteries, just for flooded batteries and the batteries used in that installation wasn't flooded.
Specifying the battery type and [b]setting the required voltage[/b]s had to be done at the point of purchase and that's the major disadvantage of the tbb inverter, except you decide to buy the display.

Juror:
For the load on inverter,
You may need external peripherals for that. For example, add a wattmeter or limiter that gives details of output voltage and current. That's what I did for an installation with TBB inverter.

And you may be asking for too much when asking for how long the battery would take to charge full or how long it'll last. Most inverters don't provide this information too, you may be able to estimate it based on other devices & plugins (Charge controller that logs, BMS that communicates, in-line amp meters etc etc )or history.


Possibly your next question would be to ask for Charge controllers that logs etc? lol

While not intending to ruin your parade, I hope you don't end up in a questioning loop/abyss. You need to take a decision based on the myriads of information provided to you(for some weeks now) while taking into consideration your constraints (budget, load, environment).

odimbannamdi:
It mustn't be stated. You should be able to set it manually by yourself.

The Pow Mr CC, for instance, has profiles for different battery types. Within each battery profile, you can also set the floating and absorption voltages. You can choose as high 16.0v as floating voltage and 17.0v as absorption voltage. But i honestly don't know which of the stated profiles should suit tubular batteries. I am guessing Sealed thiugh. Hopefully, veterans will clarify.

Penuelseun:
No, I didn't get those devices, I went directly to their office, told them what I wanted and they programed the inverter appropriately

NiyiOmoIyunade:
So without meaning to rain on your parade, it is entirely possible to get confused in a multitude of counsel - you have received info from so many contributors here that I fear you may make a suboptimal decision when/if all that sound advise freely given is not interpreted in the right context.

Please may I suggest you retable your needs simply as below;

My load is averagely """"300""""""watts (consisting of a, b, c appliances). I am looking for a system that will give me ?X hours of backup with the primary battery recharge source being PHCN or Gen or Solar??. I already decided to use 12v flooded batteries so I just need help choosing a matching inverter/ solar charge controller and other accessories. I have no plans of upgrading the system in the next X? months/years

This should help you much better to get all your support in one place and in a format you can safely use. DIY is sweet but there is a framework required as a base to do it properly.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
If you have an inverter that can put out 40a per 12v 220Ah battery then certainly you do not need an extra standalone charger.

Your inverter at 40a can already refill your single 220Ah battery within 4 to 8 hours which is fast enough. The math here is not linear as there is how deep the battery was discharged as well as the physics of absorb and float charge stages to consider.

You should never run the battery empty neither should you charge it too fast - about 30a is the max that should go into a single flooded 12v 220Ah battery so you are in a good place with your inverter alone.

Penuelseun:
I think it will be better if you send them a mail

Penuelseun:
You can trigger equalization voltage yourself by raising the battery voltage to between 15.5v and 16v for about 3hrs maybe monthly depending on usage. It is not a must for it to be stated there

Penuelseun:
small tbb inverters do not have any display on them, but they sell external display meter through which you can edit the settings and look at the inverter information. Read it can be integrated online through raspberry pi.

Penuelseun:
It is stated there clearly na, that the voltage can be adjusted from 12v to 17v

NiyiOmoIyunade:
At 40a per 12v 220Ah battery you should have more than enough especially if your primary charge source will be solar.

The next thing to make sure of is that your inverter and solar charger have editable charge voltage settings or at worst a charge profile selection that is suitable for your flooded batteries - on average flooded batteries need 14.6v or more per 12v and most basic inverters are incapable of getting to that voltage level.

Trippledots:
Solar sweet oh... So after mustering courage and finance and grace to relocate from a house that the landlord doesn't allow solar installation, only one tenant has the gate key, needs you to get permission before putting mosquito nets, etc... I moved into a bigger apart5with the landlord in full support of your convenience. In his words... "My son, make the place comfortable as you want.". I installed some of those beoken panels I also helped some persons here procure.... My harvest with a dull sky hit about 5 times what my former installation could do on a very good day.... . Plus upgrade from about 1kw panels to around 1.7kw....and i never exhaust all my pv panels I bought.

Na to upgrade enter 48v system de my mind now.

Join me thank God my people.

Apologies but Epever doesn't seem to have an official store on AliExpress. However, you can check out the Powmr Official Store i posted and amongst the products on sale in that store you will see Epever charge controllers from the same vendor. If your interested in Fangpusun Charge Controllers, Inverters kindly check out their official store also:

1. Wenzhou Xihe Electric Co., Ltd. (Fangpusun)

https://www.aliexpress.com/store/535617?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.41d87223hKBIUT

Fangpusun products are chinese clones of reputable brands like Victron, Studer & Outback but they give decent performance for the price range more than some unnamed chinese brands. Their firmware maybe out of date compared to the original which affects performance.
