Abg what should I set as float voltage for my 12v 3.6kwh Lithium Iron battery? It's currently at 13.8V

bassdow:
You obviously don't get the logic. Whether BUYing brand new or USEd cable / wire that's sold in measurements (Yards / Meters), I walk in and ask for the cable of my choice. I would have the tape inside my down pocket (me dey wear 3-quarter shorts enter market) or in my bag BUT of course you wouldn't know. So you show me your cables, along with their prices; I show you the one I want, you tell me your price, we do some negotiations if need BE and I tell you the length I want e.g 25meter or 20yards or whatever. After you done measuring and probably about packaging it, me would ask you once again "Shey e complete; You Sure ?" to which you respond YES along with whatever you choose to add to your woords. Me would dip my hands into my pocket BUT rather than money coming out, na measuring tape go come out. I go use am measure the wire and if e short, I show you. If you like call the enntire market to come and see where you did your measurement, how it's same spot you've been using for donkey years, me go just dey look you like Buhari.

Last last, you go complete am for me or I walk away.

These people fit comot 21feet from 25meter yards of 16mm copper cable. Imagine how much loss be that.

Oh nice one

cdcare

A search on them on nairaland will not make you use their app

Exactly. I went Tru a thread dedicated to them in this forum and it was really discouraging.
After I registered, I got a call from there Rep the next day; asking when I'am making a purchase on the platform, I just told her I dnt think I will; considering the ill reviews I'am seeing everywhere. She went on to say I should try them by purchasing something small like a Bulb and see if they dnt deliver in time, Omo, I told her to leave me fess abg. Lol

Ninaffivadit:
sha be careful to avoid being scammed

Stephen ayantoye is everywhere with his charm to scam innocent nairalander

Use Truecaller to confirm the number or use escrow for the deal

Check my recent post to confirm

Will do. Thank you very much.

osayuwamwen:
Check cdcare

Solar panels made me download their app and registered, but then I started seeing bad reviews about them everywhere concerning how they take too long to deliver items u paid for and how Der customer care team is very poor. What was ur Exp like?

cyif2003:
I even bought 10mm abi 6mm for 1800 in arena per yard. This was when someone stole my conduit wiring in my compound

What year was this?

Sharp. Thanks

Gshems:
arena.

Thanks. Any phone number of a contact? To walka for market dey taya me

bassdow:
both Jinko, Longi, Ja are all good and in same category.

As for price of DC cables, 30m is same as 33Yards same as 99Feet. You either buy brand new or buy USEd or kukuma buy Aluminium cable if you can't afford to save up at all. Either way, ensure you go with a measuring tape, don't let them know you came with measuring tape and allow them sell to you what you tell them. When they are DONE, before payingthem a penny, bring out your measuring tape and measure to confirm it's complete. Those Guys sabi run person street while calling you Oga and Madam. Shine ya eyes.

As for the Solar panels, be sure you getting quality Solar panels.

So after u hav hidden ur measuring tape and it happens that u wer shortchanged on the cable anyways, wat now happens? U'd ask the seller to balance u with the remaining cable den u join am with tape?

Also, abg where una dey buy this used cable abg?

Gshems:
Make he go buy tokunbo wires. I bought one last month in arena. I measured against the 6mm I bought when I wanted to set up my system. The difference is clear

How much didyu buy?

bassdow:
YES. That one that draw light fron NEPA pole directly into your compound. It's same wire NEPA cuts when you fail to pay them for darkNess. Those Omo Ibo shops along the street / road sells it. Just tell them you want to by made In Nigeria wire; and ask for the full bundle because they do have 2 sizes and most times, would try to sell to you the smaller bundle. Price am 17,000 naira or slightly lower

Wow! Just hearing this for the first time. Thanks

dollarnaira:
Out of stock few hours ago.

Oh. Wen are u stocking again?

bassdow:
to me, I suggest @cyif2003 first get the solar panels and charge controller. His only complain is they (mostly the wife + baby) now spend more time at home than before hence issue of NEPA is not morenow obvious.

No need getting another inverter or upgrading if their current system still serves them HENCE me suggestion to get the solar panels and charge contorller which costs between 50,000 naira to 100,000 naira depending on if it's used or new. That way, He doesn't spend unnecessarily.

The Solar panels + charge controller takes over the role of NEPA in life of the inverter. He saves the rest.

Should he spend all that budget now, he would end up repeating the system He already has which is small to begin with. He currently owns a 12v solar system; following the suggestions I see above means He would be repeating same thing again.

But by just getting the solar panels + charge controller, He's on his way to building a better upgraded system of either 24v or 36v or 48v .

Mind you, if not for the baby, madam wouldn't be on maternity leave hence the entire home leaves early in the morning and returns late at night/evening hence what they mostly need is Fan, lights, and a couple of others like phone charging, etc. Maternity leave no be forever; it's just for a while.

Once again, @cyif2003; you should buy:
2pcs of 400w / 450w / 500w solar panels (total of 200,000 naira or less),
a good MPPT charge controller (50,000 to 100,000 naira max)
1 bundle of NEPA wire (20,000 naira max) as PV cable

You continue using your current inverter and battery. Only think of changing the battery if after a while, you have valid reason(s) to. With the solar panels, the battery would mostly be used at NIGHT or during prolonged heavy rain else the Solar panels are the ones doing the heavy lifting.

Again, if you must buy a battery, look into going 24v or 48v which means you would have to also upgrade your inverter. A used 24v or 48v inverter would be much cheaper. Don't go and do 12v system twice abeg.

NB: There are lots of rubbish out there in the market. you're are less likely to buy them if you open your eyes + your're informed enough + spend better. For instance, a lot of inverters out there don't have quality copper coil. na mostly aluminium coil coated with copper and guess what; they're rarely as efficient as those with full copper.
Same with Lithium batteries sef. They just flood the market with those things while influencing buyers decision.

Hold on, you mean this Aluminium Nepa cable?

dollarnaira:
Watt and quantity?

2pcs of 600w or 525w half cut. Preferably monofacial.

Or any good brand (original)

Peoples, please where else can I get original Jinko solar panels? There mostly sold out on Fouani..

Bobodee09:
This will be first time I will be given review about item I got from a vendor here.

I have gotten things from couple of people here and recently I got the fitbit ionic smart watch from future focus.

First I must confess the watch is very clean and working perfectly. I just want people that want to deal with him to be very patience. Like be very patience , just communicate with him and exercise patience.

Whatever issues he must had with previous customers I think he now a change person....because at some point we almost had a fall out but with patience we were able to understand each other and things went smoothly.

Patience is the key.

Even if I do, my money will NEVER have patience bro.

cyif2003:
Omo I just noticed my 60inches l.g smart tv is 205 watts. That's is much ohh..

The TV should have Eco Mode or Energy Saving function. Whenever I'am on battery backup, I make sure my 50" TV is on Eco Mode.

Donald3d:
Available

30k for the Sketchers and Adidas Literacer 3.0

fuckboys:

Bwilliam:
I want to make it clear that I don't know who Letloveheal is. I have never met him and have definitely never done business with him, whether directly or indirectly.

DenreleDave, I don't know if you made a mistake or you're trying to intentionally link me with Letloveheal, but please try and go see a doctor today, you may be hemorrhaging and don't even know it.

You left your business of hawking your overpriced shoes on what is supposed to be a clearance thread, and tagged me on an issue that I have nothing to do with.

.......overpriced shoes.

cyif2003:
This is an inverter and battery in one unit ryt??

Nope. Just the Lithium battery.

i currently use a 10kg washing machine on a 1.5kva haisic inverter when the washer is 450watts and dryer is 250 watt i do do run both at once its a 6 years old QASA washine machine top loader. will go for haier thermocool

Nice. I use a 7.5kg QASA Washing Machine, it's 9yrs+ old nw. Good to knw I can connect it to my 1.5kva Haisic hybrid inverter. What's ur battery bank like?

Abruptly:
good morning good people, I am going to be the first in my family to own a washing machine so I want clarification, those using washing machine, what's the best product that washes and "dry" the clothes and how many kw inverter are you using to power it. bassdow, dollsrnaira

Bro, was the first part necessary??

adimx:
The battery is good, but there is no Bluetooth monitoreing.
The BMS can handle 150amps current without issues.
Its a good buy at that price.
The likes that have bluetooth monitoring is from 450k above.

Oh that's great.

I wanted to purchase 230Ah Henry LiFePO4 battery cos a friend purchased the 100Ah type and it has Bluetooth monitoring for a very good price. The 230Ah isn't even upto 400k. Unfortunately, Henry Energy only has 100Ah and 150Ah in stock in Nigeria, telling me others will Com in 2 months.

adimx:
Just add 30k and get colar 3.6kwh, 280AH LFP Battery and enjoy.

Bro, tell me about this battery pls, I posted it here some days ago and asked for user reviews but got no response. How good is it? Grade of cells? BMS? Does it have Bluetooth remote monitoring?

Abg best 12v 200Ah LiFePO4 battery to buy with a budget of 370k??

It all depends on how "Professional and Experienced' the Installer is, in doing Roof Jobs.
I used one called @Zeestone99 / MAZINE Energy / MAZINE GROUP and everywhere on my Roof was leaking after the installation

Read about it here and decide for yourself.

https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta/1207#114911187

There is a guy here with the username called @Olopan, he does excellent Roof Installation

Thank you for bringing this up to me Chief.
I will sure stay clear of this person or his likes.
Meanwhile, I will consider your recommendation

I finally met with @ceejay80s yesterday concerning the Henry Lithium Battery, really cool dude. We fess leave test wey I com for dey knack ogogoro untop gist for hours . Everything went well anyways. The battery seems good from what iv seen. I'am really pumped to make a purchase but I'll just take a week to make up my mind since I have other brands in mind too.

bassdow:
it happens when it happens. Mostly when done by someone ill experienced or a mistake was made as even experts can make mistakes.

OK Thanks.

The idea doesn't sit well with my Landlord and honestly, I won't want to start battling a leaky roof afterwards. Really skeptical.

Guys, what are the odds of a roof leak after solar panels installation and has anyone here experienced that?
