Kaymax2222:
do you have this type of product

Why don't you just order for it yourself on AliExpress? I got mine for less than 10k during a crash sales on AE last year. Currently it for circa 40k on AE now depending on the buyer.

It'll get to you within 2 weeks, 3 weeks max.

Although it's just a power screwdriver for little jobs. Not for tough ones that you'll require a power drill for. It comes with two different size drill bits and a few extra sizes of wrench. Comes with about 14 pcs screwdriver tips which sadly are almost all stripped as the tip are not toughened. So I had to order toughened tips differently. A flexible neck screw adaptor accessory broke within a week as I tried using it with a tough screw, this is the second of the type that has broken on me within the past 3 years for trying to use it to unscrew tough screws.

The screwdriver still works after a year, although I notice some reduction in backup time of the rechargeable battery which didn't impress me as I expect that to happen in about the third year of constant use.

For a rought start, for 3kva system, you need like 13 to 15 kva inverter + at least 12pcs of 550w solar panels + battery whose capacity depends on if you intends running 24/7 or just to maintain them cool till next day.

Na the koko info wey I wan know be that. Gracias.

why not get in touch in that line of business.

3 projects I have handled, the owners used AirConditioner compressor. Mind you, I didn't do the building; just handled the Solar setUp side

Can you kindly do a quick rundown on the solar set up for these I dustrial freezers? I will love to have a rough idea about the implications.

By the way, the inquire about inverter compressor; it's a very good idea. But I dont think access or knowledge about it is as common as the regular compressors just yet. The inverter compressor of a 317L thermocool stopped working few months outside warranty. The technician (a good one) called to see to it said inverter compressor as replacement part is still a rarity in Nigeria market as spare part vendors won't stock them cos of Technicians` little understanding with it which invariably precludes its demand

Okay. No wàhálà.

They can continue to solder 18650s and even with wires. Why not?

They shouldnt even bother to use spot welded strips as it'll be highfalutin, isn't it?

Lols, I don’t know why you guys are scared of the battery pack, it’s safe and not hazardous. It’s about a year plus now.

But recently I just had to do a capacity test out of curiosity. Seems the cells were salvaged by the builder cos it’s not up to capacity.

In the heydays, twice I had fire outbreaks with 18650s. Not at life threatening level though. But scary enough to prompt me to capacity-test every cell (time consuming) isolate & remove warm cells, stop using solders and wires for any 18650 projects but instead use nickel or copper strips and spot welder no matter how small the pack is.

Li-ion fires are annoyingly persistent, class 4 fires irresponsive to fire extinguishers. The only thing you can do is to isolate that burning pack from other inflammable materials, take it far away and watch it burn itself out.

I know this fire hazard is almost non-existent with LFP, but easy to abuse nonetheless.

Majority of those "Normal Satchet inverter with inbuilt charger" are MSW. I think I've seen only one with inbuilt charger that is PSW. If you don't mind using a MSW, then it may be a choice. But if you want to protect sensitive electronic equipments then get a verified PSW inverter and a good, adequately rated external charger to go with it.

JoeSef0:
I see
How about using a normal sachet inverter or those other 1kva inverter that has charger along side external charger so that when there's grid input it will bypasss.
I currently use a 1kw famicare Inverter but the charging amps is too low, I'm thinking of getting an external charger to add to it

Marykhay:
Thanks Chief for pointing out that the cells are indeed balanced (negligible unbalance), meaning I have no problem with the guy’s weird configuration anymore as well as the imbalance of the system.

I use 3units of 180Watts panels. Which is 540Watts. It charges fine. No issues at all with any component of the system. However, the system doesn’t last long enough for its capacity. This is the part I don’t understand anymore.

Pointing out that I should change to an MPPT is suggesting to me that it could be that the PWM is limiting its charge to less than 3.65per cell? Meaning that it doesn’t fully charge the system?

Well, I’ll get the MPPT and see if the problem goes away or not.

The cells should get to 4.2v per cell on a 12v charger only if they're s (4 BMS wires).

4s (5 wires from BMS) means they'll share that 12v charger input which may be why it's stuck at 3.65 per cell.

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Xanderone: 9:44am On Feb 22

Marykhay:
Good morning Chiefs,

I’m having a head start with my issue.

With regards to this system I posted earlier, these are the readings I got from the 4S configuration using the BMS connection the builder did:

Battery 0 -> Battery 1 = 3.18V

Battery 1 -> Battery 2 = 3.18V

Battery 2 -> Battery 3= 3.18V

Battery 3 -> Battery 4 = 3.2V

The problem, like I mentioned earlier, was that the 768Wh 12.8V capacity does not even get to half of what it should be. I guess this result is giving me a conclusion already.

But I need to hear from experienced builders:
@dollarnaira
@Mrreed (you no even dey reason my matter 😭)
@Valto (Senior man, at least say anything)
@capnies

Please what do you think is wrong with this system?
A. Weak or refurbished cells?
B. Unbalanced cells (I don’t know if the imbalance in the reading is negligible) causing the system to not reach its complete capacity?

This may come in handy, not as a pack for your inverter cos the UPS rating doesn't support that high inverter current draw. But it can function well as a backup for your router & DC fan. Charges on 12v DC supply. Typically 3s2p 18650 config, but you can parallel each cell for extended capacity in which case the case/slip-on cover will become redundant.

Been using mine for 3 years as a back up for router & 5v tuya hub.

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Xanderone: 9:03am On Feb 22

Not good enough

Soldering 18650s isn't even the best approach. He should invest in an inexpensive spot welder. The rechargeable one I got 4 years ago for 25k is still going strong.

He should use nickel strips or even copper strips for goodness sake.

Is there a BMS in this thing 😳? Cos that pack is a fire hazard waiting to happen. 18650s aren't so forgiving with irregular charging and thermal runways unlike their counterpart in the phosphate chemistry.

Marykhay:
Seun stop banning me na

😫

Abeg dollarnaira, Valto, Mrreed and other builders, please what configuration is this? I just opened the system.

This is supposed to be 4S2P for 768Wh system.

Na where the issue dey be that. Those are some of the evils of capitalism.

Recall weeks ago that farmers and traders were dejected that prices were coming down because the are making less money.

Those that hoarded rice they bought at 85k one year ago hoping that the price will still hit a new 100k high in 2026 are bleeding massively right now.

Those that has USD dominated asset are also getting worried. I personally am in this category. My last USD savings was bought at 970 naira. So by the time it falls to 1000k before year-end as OteDollar projects, it's either I stoic ally count my losses, keep my investment and just look away or just consider selling off, perhaps converting to non-financial assets.

Despite diesel prices coming down and petrol coming down around December, transport prices remained high. And when you challenge transporters they change from "petrol is expensive" narrative to "spare parts are expensive" rhetoric.

Again I say, the EVIL of capitalism where every man aims at fleecing off the other.

As Otedollar or Dongote dey do their own to squeeze that money outta me, I should find a place to pass that burden to. Sadly it is to clients.

Cashio:
What I'm asking is this. But why are the prices of commodities not falling in tandem with the dollar. December, two years ago, dollar was over 1700, cement was sold at 7k plus. Today dollar dey 1300 plus, yet cement as at today is 11200. And just around December it was sold for 9600 even when dollar was around 1460 or so at the time.
Bought 47k per coil same December at 1460 exchange and today same wire is 59k with exchange rate dropping massively.

This is same with other commodities mind you.

bassdow:
for those looking to buy used Lithium cells especially those cylinderical ones e.g 18650 , see eh, just go to where they repair laptops, either get those bad laptop batteries for FREE or pay a little token to buy them e.g 150 naira per pack AND a single pack can contain like 8pcs or more.

Most would gladly give you for FREE if it's just 2 or 3pcs.
Additionally, to get much more, tell dem it's for school project. Most times, na Aboki go still come buy them.

Open them up and take what you need.

Most times, you end up with perfectly quality cells where it's just a single cell that rendered the entire pack unUsable.

in fact you could even use the pack to construct things if you're good with thinking. except you're the kind that have outSourced your thinking to daddyGO or the likes.
I come in PiSs

Risks:

1. You may not easily discover cells that suffer from thermal runways - quite a dangerous scenario speaking fron personal experience with 18650 fire

2. You can be okay with that approach if you're using it to construct small packs of 6, 9 or 12 cells. By the time you're going big with dissimilar capacities strung up in series, you can also end up with overcharge/overdischarge of dissimilar cells which will shorten the lifespan of the pack.

If you have a capacity tester though, you may be able to group together similar cells.

Doris4ever:
I have a 2000w inverter and charger.
So I need a battery pack to work with it.
The options I have gotten so far is

1. 12V 104ah lithium ion battery - N185,000
2. 12V 100ah Lifepo4 battery - N203,700

Which is advisable I go for.

Firstly:

12v inverter
Low Voltage alarm - 10vdc (± 0.5)
Low Voltage Shutdown - 9.5vdc (± 0.5)
Overvoltage Alarm - 15.5v

12 v Li-ion (3 series) charge parameters
Discharge cut off @ 2.7v each - 8.1v
Fully charged @ 4.2v each - 12.6v

12v Li-ion (4 series) charge parameters
Discharge cut off - 10.8v
Fully charged - 16.8v

12v LFP (4 series) charge parameters
Discharge cut off @ 2.5v per cell - 10v
Fully charged @ 3.6v per cell - 14.4v

If you examine the parameters critically, you'll realize that Li-ion falls out of the upper limit or lower limit voltages (depending on the string) of 12v inverter. However LFP 12v falls perfectly within the voltage range of most 12v inverters making it the best choice for lithium chemistry to use with 12v system.

At 24v and 48v system, Li-ion chemistry attains the range perfection that it lacks within the 12v ecosystem.

Secondly:

Li-ion chemistry is around 3000 to 4000 cycles. LFP, although with lower energy density than Li-ion still has better cycle at 8000 to 9000.

Verdict - 12v LFP

I don connect am self come down from the roof. Which kind wahala be this now.

Lol. He is right, they're rated for AC. It will melt with use on solar panel. I have a pack of that type of connector. Used one to connect 12v Led strip that draws around 45w and the shyte melted 😄

I have used these successfully in projects. If you can get any of them, you should be fine. Note that XT60 and XT90 connectors aren't quick connectors though unlike the first two that makes for easy connection. XT connectors require soldering and soldering them is a huge pain in the butt for me.

fuckboys:
well I don’t see reason why I need to retighten those screws over time cos there’s absolutely no tension on those wires. They just lay flat on the roof surface.

The only thing I’m scared of is corrosion over time. I didn’t tape it or anything, just left it bare like that after attaching the wires

You should have kukuma slide the connector under the panel where it is not unduly exposed to the elements.

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Xanderone: 7:57pm On Feb 18

Thanks. This is quite instructive.

KA24DETT:
1. Nothing beats efficiency. If you have AC fans, sell them and buy DC fans. Use inverter ACs, LED bulbs, inverter fridges and freezers.

Two "OX" standing fans recently blew the coils few weeks apart and they were constituritng scrap nuisance at home. So I got them converted into a DC fan. Removed the burnt AC motor, got a 12v - 24v power drill motor (the same motor used in these DC fans) and changed the original OX fan blades to plastic ones. A few metal drillings here and there and I got them working fine on DC. With three ceramic resistors soldered in series I was able to achieve graded 3 speed control. Because of gear teeth incompatibility, I couldn't get the oscillating/rocker component of the fans to function.

6. Turning off fridges and freezers at night reduces battery drain. Using frozen containers or bags of pure water inside helps retain cold and slows temperature rise while they’re off.

I've had a not nice experience with inverter freezer when few weeks back the condenser packed up, sadly 3 months after the 5 years warranty expired. Never used it on NEPA, always on solar. A non-inverter compressor was swapped in as replacement. Meanwhile other two non-inverter freezers have done well for 7 to 9 years now. So I'm sincerely not sure if I want to walk the inverter freezer terrain again anytime soon.

They're used for Ice block biz and cold drinks. Usually the freezers for ice block work 24/7 cos of demands that outpaces supply. But I've lately noticed that 7am to 5am schedule might be power-saving to some extent especially when the blocks are all frozen. Another alternative I've considered to meet demands is probably getting another freezer to transfer all frozen packs/blocks to and then stagger its working for like 15 hours daily hopefully enough to keep them frozen so the donor freezer will be available for new packs.

Valto has visited my site and has been very supportive of my business. His customer service has been excellent since my first battery purchase.

I might consider Valto for some purchases with this recommendation. I've seen his price trend and it seems to be cheaper than my current supplier even though he too has been highly reliable for years (about 5 years now) and mostly uses grade A cells

This reflects my company’s experience. Take it for what it is — n = 1. I went with LV instead of High voltage system, it was a business decision. The Jury is still out.

LV as how? You have 48v system, right? Can we say that is low voltage considering the offers we currently commonly have in Nigeria is the highest at 48v system, 60v or 96v still quite a rarity in the Nigeria ecosystem.
