Mavor:
I have done the total consumption estimate calculation. Please see below. And the 2.5m covers panels (4 x Jinko 550w and above minimum), accessories and installation fee.

Device Quantity Power (Watt) per unit Total Power (Watts)

52" LG Flat TV 1 ~120 W 120 W
Laptop 2 ~60 W 120 W
PS5 Pro 1 ~220 W 220 W
Xbox Series X 1 ~200 W 200 W
Standing Fan 2 ~70 W 140 W
Refrigerator (medium) 1 ~150 W (avg running) 150 W
Energy Bulbs (LED, 10W) 10 10 W 100 W
Water Dispenser 1 ~550 W (heating + cooling) 550 W

You need to factor our your watt-hour consumption..not just the watts.

Na miracle be that o,looking at d dateu hide your face for so long boss

Lol... greetings baba.

12.3v, and your inverter isn't screaming low battery?

I don't know what's wrong with mine. My battery tends to discharge at a faster rate when it's at 12.7v and below. I'm using Cworth's 200ah battery.

I'm using Cworth's recommended charge settings of 13.8v for boost, and 13.6v for float.

Maybe there's something I'm not doing right. I don't know.

Some cworth batteries have been shown to not be grade A, matched cells

This man get time for NL today..

Its being a while.. Hope you good boss?

yes o...trying to catch up on old pages. I'm good chief, you?

Dharyhor:
Good afternoon everyone

My Haier thermocool inverter freezer rated for 100watts consumes around 100watts whenever I put in on but as time goes on, the consumption can rise to as high as 320watts.

What could likely be the problem?

It should settle down later, I think

Ferdiwar:
I've been doing some research on it but my I'm still looking for a BSM that can handle 750amps as my car takes up to 700 amps to start.

Some BMS allow for parallel connection to increase amperage.

samnaija:
Am trying hard. I dont sell batteries like you.
I am full diy, not a marketer like you .I still say it from my personal opinion nothing wrong with lead battery , size it properly. And i will still say ,it sells the most on Nigeria.

Chief, it's not about wether he is a battery seller or not. I also use LA chemistry, but the difference in performance is like night and day.


IMO Previously the constraints for LFPs were cost and maybe low widespread understanding of how the chemistry works. But now, all of that has been taken care of.

I have a bank of 4 LA batteries I have been using for maybe two years. I recently got 2.5kwh of LFP cells and since my LA batteries still have some juice in them, I connected both chemistries together. It's not an ideal situation but it works better than just my LA bank. Heck, the LFP boys charge very fast and utilize my solar harvest way better than the LA babies.

So it would be a huge disservice to this thread to still be advising people that it's ok to go for LA chemistry at this time. If you already have one in use, just quietly enjoy it till you replace it.

Cheers

Assumptions:
Mercury Tall Tubular 220AH 12V X 16 units = 42.2KWH
16x 340,000 = 5,440,000

Deriy Batteries LFP 14.3kwh X 3 units = 42.9KWH
3 x 1,850,000 = 5,550,000...

So why Should you Buy Lead acid

You didn't even factor in usable capacity. If you do that tubular cost will about double itself. So it's even costlier.

HeavenlyBang:
No need for long talk.

Na so dem say carburetor better pass injectors too.

Sodium batteries...hmmmm. this may give lithium a run for the money very soon o.

samnaija:
Bashing of lead acid batteries, on this thread. Na wa.

Like what someone said earlier, it depends on your pocket. But has of Nigerian market is concerned, lead acid is going nowhere. Battery banks of all types all depend on how you build it (size).and the source.

Has far has your battery bank is serving you efficiently i dont see any reason to change from one type to another. This is my 6 th year on lead and no complain.

Your build is very important from the beginning, that is all.

To be honest, the cost of lithium batteries to LA has become very comparable these days per usable Wh. I think the only difference would be the scrap value of LA which is better than lithium.

KudozInteriors:
Please is there a way of confirming the actual capacity of a LifePO4 battery asides what is written on the company sticker? Is there a way of knowing the exact KWH that is in the battery?

Doing a capacity test.
1. Charge Stations he battery till it's full
2. put a significant load and measure discharge with a coulomb counter (battery monitor)
3. Record your findings and maybe share with the world.

HeavenlyBang:
How do these Cworth inverters perform?

Not bad. I've installed this same 6kw hybrid in three phase configuration as UPS for an Electric Vehicle charging station, and so far so good.

I had one of the inverters spark multiple times when you Introduce grid supply, however the inverter output was still working. I later got it replaced on warranty, and since then no issues.

HeavenlyBang:
Use something and cover some cells

Might cause hot spots on those cells, as they become loads instead of current sources.

obinna37:
Used Trina 250w poly solar panel for sales,just offloaded,

If you're buying more from 4 pieces #32,000

A battery with 1.2kwh, 100ah. How bad is this battery?

Haven't even hit 50ah yet and it's at 80% dod

Hmmm. From experience, not all lithium batteries are born the same. Different grade cells, unmatched cells in a pack, imbalanced cells. All these and probably some more salient factors can turn a supposed sweet experience into a bitter one. Even branded factory assembled products are not left out not to talk of locally assembled products.

You can't go wrong with user review of any battery before committing funds to it, and this is to thank all those who review batteries, other products and share the information. Y'all are the real MVPs.

AinsSama:
That's more than sufficient

I assume the panels will do an average of 45kwh daily, which is around what the load will consume. So what will charge the battery? I'm curious please.

fuckboys:
Went to Cworth alaba today.

I used the Armstrong format, I learnt something new.
When you go there never ask them for price or how much they're selling. Just use the prices below. Works like charm.

Asking them price or how much they're selling and then they know you're jjc and inflate prices.

Got 2 500w panels and a 100a 12v battery.

But their prices do fluctuate and it's not available on their website, so where do you get that price list from?

cutefy:
I just confirmed the price. It's 177k

Is this still same price? Can you confirm what their 4kw hybrid is?

moneymind:
Lithium cells for sale. Recently upgraded my pack to lfp cells.

N600 per piece. N500 if you are buying everything. 17s bms also for sale, 100amps, N35k.
I'm in Benin. 08036761triple8

Still available?

isangjohnson:
Has anyone here stored Lifepo4 battery for 3 years?
If yes, what was the health of the battery (individual voltage measurement)?
I've only stored mine for 1 year at 50% soc and the cells were all sound when I returned.

One of my customers want to travel for 3 years.

SaintUlot:
You can plug individual appliance you want to save energy on to it and you can as well connect it to the house wiring, it is an energy saver as I said earlier, it reduces the energy consumption on your inverter, prepaid meter and generator from 25 - 50%.

You didn't answer the question still. How does it reduce the energy?

What type of device is this? How does it work?

Haykay2001:
During my research, I discovered a solar-powered freezer that I believe would be ideal for my customer's ice block production business, enabling them to manufacture ice blocks for sale. Attached is the picture.

Has anyone had hands-on experience with this solar freezer? I've learned that it can operate on both AC and solar power, which is convenient. However, my client's specific requirement is a freezer capable of producing ice blocks, and I'd love to hear from someone with practical experience in this area.

A few weeks ago, we purchased a Hisense chest freezer, which unfortunately turned out to be a disappointing investment. Despite running it for three days, it failed to produce a full ice block, falling short of our expectations.

I'm seeking recommendations for a reliable freezer specifically designed for ice block production, beyond homemade solutions. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Will be waiting in the comment section.
Thanks all

This company is the same company that makes Hzsolar battery. I took a leap of faith to use their battery for an installation on the past, but it turned out to be a very bad decision. Use this information as you may.

Update March 18, 2025: Battery still showing me shege and I'm learning the truth bit by bit.
1. I suspect grade B cells were used
2. Battery can't charge above 27.4v
3. The company reps are just full of lies and deception.
4. Their boss, a Chinese man seems to be a good sport. But the naija guys are just trash.

Sheuns:
When you get to Lagos, try to bleed the pump. Remove all the fluid and put a new one. You can check YouTube for videos on how to bleed the system. I’ll recommend you do it yourself. It’s quite easy.

Ok. You mean the steering pump?

Sheuns:
Check the power steering fluid level. Also check if there’s bubbles in the fluid container. If yes, top up the fluid.

Yeah, I checked and topped it up already. I'ld have to embark on my trip to lag like that. Hoping it doesn't fail in some way.

2cribz:
Ball joint,hub...loose hub..that woobling sound..loose worn out hub bushings..cant be repaired can only be replaced.it can actually be repaired without issues if in India,but in naija,give it just 2 days,it will reappear.

Actually it's like a whine more than a wobble.

Namaster:
This is a woman at her CORE.

She's a WELL-EDUCATED woman with above-average intelligence. Has degrees in Bioengineering and Computer Science. She was working her way through a PhD after securing both a Bachelor's and Master's Degrees.

Yet she threw EVERYTHING away to become a PORRNSTAR!

She was NOT exploited, trafficked or forced. She made the choice to make money using her breasts and vagina. Her brain be DAMNED.

ALL women want to be sex objects!

Regardless of their level of education or the conservativeness of their upbringing, they still want to be viewed as a SEX object.

It's a lie! She went for what paid faster not because it's what she loves doing.

Stop thinking like a used condom!

2cribz:
Noise from which angle.driver side or passengers side. Abi na from back

From the front left side. But it's so subtle it could actually be anywhere from the front.

2cribz:
your oil has dried up and your bearings and rods have done meet and greet,engine has knocked out.well honda engine no too cost ...

Thanks for the input. Contrary to that, the oil is gauged.

So I topped up my gear oil, steering oil, and even replaced my right wheel bearing, yet the noise persists.

freeAgent99:
Please do you have any idea where I can get controller board?

At their shop in Alaba. Chat me up.

MSW inverters are not all equal..some are actually square wave design. Others are stepped square wave.

Just use PSW and have peace of mind
