Hmm. Thanks 👍

Too high?

What's the idle load consumption of that Haisic inverter, the 4.2kva; 24V?

1.4amps

favouredbymercy:
I don dey eye this Haisic inverter.

I'll recommend it. It's affordable although I can't tell if there are available service centers Incase of damage.

Edrizz:
If it's their 4.2kva, it isn't silent oooo both while charging alone n when load is used on it....

It's the 4.2kva. Yes the fan comes on while on heavy load, and while charging. Louder when charging with high current. But on light loads it's literally silent.

Consider cleaning the vents... Made a difference for me and now even while using submersible pump I can barely hear the fan.

favouredbymercy:
From my experience, the starting surge of pumping machine is very high. So i cant recommend a 24v system for pumping machine anymore. Just look at a 48v system. If you can leave out the water aspect, then a 24v system would do just fine.

I use 24v Haisic hybrid inverter. Great inverter, very silent. No issues with even 1.5hp submersible.

Have anybody tried "PAYING WITH AIRTIME" for their ODU using the Airtel Africa App?

You can pay with Airtime, but from another Airtel line. Most likely the primary line registered on the app.

If your airtime is loaded in the ODU line then you have to use the link for direct broadband subscription. Someone posted the link about some pages back.

I went to Check out the mtn Fiber X thread, and they also have their own complaints. I was hoping it would be a better alternative overall but alas!

NSEstudent:
They should bring it to 25k just like their FibreX. Folks in areas of strong MTN network would then try it.

This nightly speed reduction would be Airtel's undoing.

From past experience, router plans all behave the same regardless of network.

I have used an mtn router plan a few years back and regardless of how strong network reception was, it faced similar issues as Airtel router plans, barely reliable.

mrboluu:
How do we turn this off?

It's not recommended to turn it off, but if you must, then go to system, developer options, put in password and then toggle temperature control.

I think one of the reasons why the ODU consumes a lot of battery is due to the temperature control feature present.

I believe if you turn that off you should be able to get more hours out of your back up.

emmohh:
This Airtel odu powerbank doesn't last at all...can't even give me 2hrs after nepa took light. Is that what y'all are experiencing too?

Which one did you get? Mine lasts close to 5hrs.

4kwh wey pump water. Na sense

On a full charge, how long does the 4kwh battery last u on basic loads only?

So the network thing is general. Just subbed this afternoon after a long time and I have been unable to connect.

Today is my birthday guys you can send your greetings... Kudos to everyone keeping this group moving and active

Happy birthday to you Chief. Wishing you long life, success and prosperity. May your days be blessed.

Thanks for your contribution to this thread.

litaninja:
Lol. Forgive the laptop abeg

😂

I am curious. Why are you pipo stressing over using another router to link when the main router works just fine. Like works perfectly fine.

For instance I have about 10 devices connected and still stream just fine. I'm just curious though.

Adaowerri111:
The installer is strongly recommending Felicity, what do you think?

Avoid o.

Quoted capacity is way less than actual capacity. Test videos are readily available on tiktok and YouTube.

Point to note, the above account also enjoyed the free no subscription month about 2 months ago. Infact this bonus is coming immediately after enjoying 1 free month.

Apparently there's much more reward in not keeping up with subscriptions. Fingers crossed to see if we can actually do 24 months at 50%. A game changer IMO.

I can confirm the 50% subscription fee for old unused accounts.

nurez305:
MTN is already spending billions on fiber X, what will they need ODU for??... This ODU is more like advance router which still failed many time with inconsistent speed

This is way better and more realistic than Fiberx in my opinion especially due to accessibility.

Fiberx deployment rate is very poor and is none existent in most major cities & locations.

Cost wise, this Airtel model is also cheaper as it is OTA & doesn’t require much physical connection or set up.

Yes the ODU model is not perfect, but considering how long Fiberx has been in existence compared to this, the ODU is a superior business model.

With better coverage and reach, I think MTN should consider adopting this model as a form of FiberX 2.0 with similar pricing. This is the only way they can stay competitive in the unlimited internet market and make good profit for investors.

Well, I think it's okay. I do get full 5G and 4G bars. The 5G works well during the day but unstable evenings and the latency is high. More of a reception issue anyway.

Luckily I found a 4G band that works well. I locked to that and it's been working well. Getting the 50mpbs steady and the latency is much better.

The IDU has single SSID option for 2.4ghz and 5ghz (which you can disable) and it has been working flawlessly.

The powerbank should do at least 3 hours at least. Not fully tested. The performance is stable while on powerbank.

There are so many functions you can adjust on the IDU.

This is my experience so far.

This your IDU is feature packed.

bassdow:
Alternatively, enter market Buy better Tokunbo socket, those types designed and used for electric cooker in the Kitchen. Use those even if na just Fridge / Freezer you intends powering.

You have a point. In my own case my only saving grace was doing the changeover + breaker thing.

omotoda:
I am not sure it's used.I bought my 5kva for 95k and review on same Jiji even has sellers posting same 10kva for 220k.

Wow. On Jumia the 5kva type is from 150 and above.

icjunior:
I intend to get a 10kva stabilizer for my house,saw 235k on jiji....anyone used the duravolt 10kva stabilizer?

At that price it must be used I guess. I use a 5kva stabilizer to power my full house.

If your load is much avoid using wall socket connection. Get an electrician to design a circuit with a properly sized change over and possibly a breaker ( This suggestion is from experience of having repeatedly melted wall sockets)

FEGEITOK:
This must be experience talking!

Yes, bought a 16 inches one for someone, truth is the blades are so small it's not worth it.

I own an 18 inches one I've been using for years and the difference is night and day 😂

FEGEITOK:
I am in the market for an efficient fan to pair with my inverter and batteries;

Between the Maxi KYS-40AC and Qasa QSF-18R DC which would you choose and why?

Maxi has a built-in 12V 9.0Ah lithium battery and extra features like a USB port for maximum convenience and independence from an external source.

The Qasa draws a maximum of 20W, which is half the power of the Maxi, significantly extending battery run time.

What is the experience of the house with these two brands?

Don't buy a 16 inches standing fan. The blade is so small. Go for an 18 inches type instead.

Hullabaloon:
Go to page 31 of this thread. I shared how I did mine

Seen. Thanks

Who has any ideas about Airtel tv box and how to use with this Odu

I can confirm that the ZTE variant does not experience that thing with the network going bad after disconnecting from electricity.

frank155:
I don't think this refuse to browse is a position problem (network).

I think it's directly from Airtel. For example, I have been enjoying my ODU for a month plus but from last Saturday till this very moment, it's been a nightmare.

I even called them and they said it's been fixed but here we are.

I mentioned this to someone earlier. With Airtel when it's your turn to suffer the network issue you can't really escape it.

Mine was working so well and then all of a sudden I was out for 1 full week. All complaints fell on deaf ears. After 1 week we are back online. It's just crazy and doesn't make any sense.

dustmalik:
If you are using the ZTE ODU, download these apps. They will help with the best position to place the ODU

I envy pipo that have 5G.

Who knows what this means?
