This is bullshit. You can't talk about billing where the infrastructure is non existent. What people are saying is make the infrastructure available first. That is where successive governments have failed woefully.

You have a very warped perspective of reality as a person. Stop excusing failure of government by assumption that citizens cannot pay for services. Is the infrastructure available?

Nobody is asking for free electricity, for each administration a certain amount is drawn as budget to improve electricity generation and distribution, your questions should be directed at the lack of results and not based on uneducated guesses.

Ask why Nigeria is still below 10k MW after releasing billions of $ down from Obj's administration till this one.

your plan getting expired as nothing to do with your network speed, my plan expired b4 paying for another one , if u are experiencing a bad network, restart it and you are good to go

Lol. Ontop my own experience o 😂
No worry just do what works for you Chairman. If na restarting be my problem I for no even locate this thread.

NSEstudent:
Do you not think that if the inverter was efficiently drawing a max of 500W from your Gen, no problem or damage would have occurred to your Gen if its capacity rating is also true?

I don't think so. The gen usually powers my submersible + deep freezer which has a greater power draw overall without issues. With charging the inverter, somehow even at low wattage something was obviously wrong. Worked for a few days and then started failing. So it's not really a case of overloading.

I don learn my lessons sha. Never again.

dollarnaira:
Change mine last 3 months around 7k.
Gen was overly abused for welding - a 2.0/2.2kva max Tigmax gen with great copper coil.

Ok thanks.

OgogoroFreak:
was your generator an inverter generator?

Mine is inverter generator that produces cleaner energy than regular generator.

Oh. Inverter gen should do way better. Got no idea sha coz I've never owned one.

dollarnaira:
Replace the avr.
Most gen these days are aluminium

I see. An original Sumec Firman o. Got an idea how much AVR cost?

The problem is when I put on a relatively heavy load like the Submersible, it starts jerking and then goes off.

NSEstudent:
I see. Reducing grid charging current may do the work. Problem is if the inverter handles it correctly.

I don't charge with gen. I do charge with grid if absolutely needed, especially on very bad days and days the storage was overused.

Oh well it's different. I was talking about my experience charging with gen. With grid it's not an issue.

It bloodied my gen and after a while it couldn't handle it anymore. A 3.5 kva gen, now it can't handle 0.75hp submersible.

NSEstudent:
Which stuff did you reduce? What inverter do you use?

The charging current. I use Haisic 24v 4.2kva inverter.

Do you use gen in charging ur system?

NSEstudent:
If your inverter has grid peak shaving, you can limit the amount of power it draws from the gen to about 2kw or less.

I reduced this stuff even down to about 500w. Will charge for a day max, next day can't handle it anymore. Even from the sound of the gen u can tell.

OgogoroFreak:
Can a 3kw generator be used with 6kw deye inverter to charge my battery?

From personal experience I wouldn't recommend. That stuff bloodied my gen so bad that it can't power my submersible anymore.

I never understood why, but the issue came from using it to charge for about a week.

Gshems:
I no even trust you. This Stephen matter, you too carry am for head.
Your account was created on the 13th of June.
Are you Stephen?

Lol 😂
Thing is both buyer and seller o, you can't even trust anyone these days. Anything is possible.

fuckboys:
you didn't know X25pro is a universal 5g router when unlocked?

I'd probably still use my x25pro with the MTN ODU when it's out. I use to use it with spectranet and glo unlimited plans before switching to the Airtel ODU sim.

I knew but it didn't fully dawn on me.

I just reason the stuff today.

Ozone007:
But, your account na new account oh

Lol be careful sir 😂

NSEstudent:
There are firmware changes. It probably should have higher specs but X25pro has more second hand value because its firmware can be unlocked. The Max 2 cannot be unlocked for now.

Now I think I understand why selling my x25 pro was a mistake. I didn't look at the future advantages especially when unlocked 🤦🏾‍♂️

I didn't see beyond Airtel's ODU plans.

OgogoroFreak:
But there has to be a pot on the cooker before you can adjust wattage

Do you use an induction cooker?

Of course I do. I own 2.

Mama home's starts at 140C, you can adjust before placing pot but it's already low enough. Although adjustment window is very low like about a second b4 it recognises there's no pot.

For Maxi, you can do all your adjustments b4.

NSEstudent:
The Maxi doesn't 'start' until you select a cooking programme and have a pot on top of it. If you selected Simmer, I don't see how it would start from 2100W.

Once the power button is touched, it's turned on but won't work until you select a cooking programme and add a pot. Or is your own different?

I'm talking about the type that came with Pot. There's no 'Simmer' option.

Once you turn on, press the function button it enters the 1st mode which is 'Fry' @ 2100w, you can then adjust wattage before placing pot.

After adjustment it starts a countdown with beeps if pot isn't placed yet.

So technically it doesn't 'start' but comes on, however if you place your pot before turning on then it immediately starts at the highest wattage on first press.

chadbasin:
Thanks for this, hope he can be trusted, with no issues whatsoever.

I haven't patronized him but he is quite reputable and deals on various electronics. Do your research sha.

bassdow:
You no see say even me sef tire to respond. If you respond now, another person go come ask for 700w sachet inverter. probably if said induction cooker locks in previous settings, one could find a workAround by using NEPA / Gen to first set things up the very first time, then use solar later

The both I use doesn't work with 'memory'
Infact the mama home's starts by default at 140C which is low, while the Maxi starts at 2100w regardless of your last cooking.

However you can turn it down before placing your pot so it won't really pick up at that high wattage. Which product do you use?

OgogoroFreak:
Most induction cookers starts at 1600w when turned on.
Your 1.5kva inverter is not upto 1.5kw considering power factor.
I think your inverter will trip off once the cooker is turned on.

Not really. When turned on, you can safely reduce wattage before putting your pot ontop. However, it's really not recommended to stress a 1.5kva inverter that much.

bassdow:
Even with enough storage, if it's not 48v, or a big enough 24v, it's really pennyWisePoundsFoolish as the life span of the battery would be really affected. That it would work, doesn't mean it's worth it.

in fact if it's big enough 12v or 24v, cooking should only be done during the day when there's enough sun else that battery no go last enough number of years for the money spent to make sense.

Not true. If you cook at 1000w for instance, depending on what you're cooking it won't take more than 1hr. That's about 50a for a 24v system.

Most bms can safely discharge up to 100a for sustained hours and won't make much difference for overall battery life as long as components are properly sized. While it's good to recommend cooking when sunlight is at full blast, saying it affects the battery life significantly is being overly dramatic.

Amovingman:
Quick reminder to y'all

Noted. Thanks

chadbasin:
Evening house, please does anyone know where I can get Electric Bikes, the type that looks like Power Bikes?

Go on tiktok. Search for electric bikes. Or search Darlingtee bikes.. That guy has different varieties.

NSEstudent:
I use the maximum 2100W when I want to cook something quickly. Sometimes I use the max power to start up before reducing it to about 800W or so for continuous cooking. The performance is good enough but I wouldn't mind testing new cookers.

The Maxi is faster, but no harm in having 2.

Depends on what I'm cooking I also usually start at 2100w but then dial down to 800w after boiling have started.

hoover420:
Omoh but can this cooker work conveniently with a 12v 1.5kva hybrid inverter? Cos this gas palaver fit make person Dey think, especially for family man like us

It should work, but make sure to cook at 1000w

fuckboys:
4pcs of 400 watts panels

Where una dey see Sun 🥹?

If you get solar and you still dey buy gas sorry o 🥱

This induction cooker gets really hot so fast I'm tired of burning food. Now na 800w I dey use and it does the job well.

osayuwamwen:
lol I cleaned up everything in and out, it looked like it was not tempered with

Hahaha.. Hope they were able to fix it though.

osayuwamwen:
the first issue I was having was wen the induction cooker start misbehaving if I increase the cooking power it will decrease on it own, so one day I open it up and I saw lots of little cockroach hiding undernith The touch panel, I clean it up and screw it up and everything was working fine same thing happened again and I decided to buy green leaf(cockroach killer) I put it in every comer inside the induction cooker and I couple it up again, it was after this I notice the cooker was working and stopping occasionally while the power light is still on, right now am in fouani service center with the cooker for repair, I came with the receipt and they are working on it bcus it still under warranty

Opening it should have void your warranty. You're lucky if they honor that warranty sha.

NSEstudent:
Person fit call you for WhatsApp make the thing hang when una never talk finish.

Lol why? It's just for transactions and miscellaneous whenever I'm out and about. I have never finished it. The beauty of it is that the data accumulates. God bless Airtel sha.

NSEstudent:
It's a steal. I travel with the sim in MIFIs and don't have to sub extra data for the whole month.

On my phone I do the weekly 200 for 1.25gb as a back up.

fuckboys:
wow, my X25pro is literally more valuable to me than the ODU.


I gave out my ODU for free and here you are doing the same for the X25pro. Plot twist.

Real plot twist. I tested my ODU sim many times on the X25pro and it didn't even work. Had no option than to sell off.

NSEstudent:
Keep testing this theory, it might hold true.

Na so so experiment we don dey do since Airtel launch this ODU project.

Lol.. Airtel turn all of us to troubleshooters.

Truth is the ODU plans are the best thing to happen to 9ja internet space, if you can find your way around the downtimes then it's a steal.
