AndroBlaze:


Speak with Fouani before you get your own installer as they claimed to a friend of mine that they will only honour warranty if installed by their installers (which is clearly illegal in my opinion ).

If you stay around Lekki check the Fouani after Osapa London, they had it on discount of a few 100k earlier this year.

Also note that these are lithium-ion batteries and not Lifepo and I believe people on here have already reported that their have been problems with the setup, so make sure you are able to hold Fouani to their warranty.

Edit: I was banned for this earlier, this spambot sef

Bro thank you for this ooo!! I will never touch a lithium-ion battery. Fire hazard and all considering I live alone and I am mostly outdoors during the week cos of work. I will have to avoid this product then. Thank you so much!

Pls gurus in the house,

I need to know if this charge controller is a genuine MPPT

It was bought directly from Tasha Energy showroom in Abuja

I once bought a charge controller from TashaEnery, and I requested for a warranty. They were just beating around the bush.

If they're confident about their product, they shouldn't be hesitant to offer a warranty.

I just took the receipt and left.

see this battery also

why is lithium battery now cheap

u must be on a long thing , if u believe this is real 12v 200ah . from the shape that box, e no 12v 100ah . people should be very careful what they buy ... 95% of all lithium battery in Nigerian market now are not real capacity.

HeavenlyBang:


I did mention that. It's a risk but Aliexpress generally refunds if you don't get your order.

it will never arrive or work , it is just a gimmick. also that battery is 12v 100ah ,not any 180ah.

lithium ion battery is not same as lifep04 battery.

Lithium ion has 500 - 1500 cycles.

Where is your capacity testing data..?

Anyways due to popular demand

Haisic 4kwh is coming to Lab.

First impression Package and shipping protection 95%

E.g, like the Cworth batteries u have been marketing here

What's the most reliable/best 12v 1kva inverter brand to go for?
I was thinking of felicity 1kva 12v but haven't found it anywhere in Nigeria

Felicity has it in 1.5kva 12v.

Good day, bosses. So it's 12PM peak time. The sun is high, the sky is bright, yet my 1050w pv is only producing 100w. It's something I've noticed in recent weeks. When it was installed initially, I'd get around 500w at peak hours.

So now I've resolved to relocating the stand to an open space where the storey building wouldn't block the sunlight.

The constraint now is that I'd need at least 30yrds of 4mm² to add to my current setup. That'd cost me about 105,000 naira.

I want to know if there are cheaper alternatives that I can use inplace of the coated DC wires.

Thanks for your responses in advance.

It is true that HDDs have higher data recovery probability than SSD. However, that is where all the advantage ends. SDDs are faster and have smaller failure rates than HDD. And by the way, a good computer person will tell that if you need to recover data from a failed HDD or SSD, then you are not supposed to stand near any serious data in the first place. A serious computer person will know the rules about data backup. If your data is important to you, you should have multiple backups, onsite and at lest in one offsite location.

Data recovery is now more about forensic or accident investigations. Bottom line: SSDs are far superior to HDD, just like Lithium is far superior to Lead Acid. And like someone pointed out to you, many of us on Team Lithium were once on Lead Acid. I for instance, started my solar journey with Trailer Batteries about 1998/9 before graduating to GEL/AGM and then Tubular before finally ing Lithium train. Nothing will take me back to Lead Acid.

Similar thing on Lithium batteries also as with age, they drop in quality. apart from how long they have stayed before getting to the markets, you don't know how long they stayed on Shelves before you came to buy it.

You can't compare a lithium battery manufactured in year 2014, and bought 2-months after, with another that's bought 3-years after.

If you think I am over talking, go to where they sell laptop batteries, (or any Lithium battery) tell them to give you a new one, check it's date of manufacture.

Really have no issue with Lithium battery chemistry, but the fact people keep promoting it like it's the next best thing to ever happen to Man, like it's got no downsides of it's own.

AnyOne in Computer world would tell you how lovely SSDs are compared to the likes of Hard-disks, and it's siblings BUT na when you run into Data issues (corruption / damage / loss) you go come to appreciate Hard Disks. As in chances of recovery are much higher with hardDisks, than SSDs. In fact just leaving the SSD for long without powering it on, is enough for it to slowly loss data. But people (mostly uninformed or sellers or manufacturers) would keep singing to you how fast SSDs are compared to previous alternatives.

They would tell you how your Computer would boot-up in less than 2-seconds; as if it matters to large percentage of people. I could run my work computers (Laptops and Desktops) for months without ever restarting it. What about Servers, which are only restarted when need be.

Yes SSDs has got it's PROs, but got it's CONs also. If you come preach to me only the PROs, with no mention of the CONs, I go get your time.



if there are SSDs, and even hard-disk (which is slower than SSDs), why do big companies still use Tape Drives which are even a lot SLOWer than hard-disks which are in turn slower than SSDs ? Its nothing other than the fact everything got it's strong and weak points. You just need know where and when to use which.

Make una continue to dey argue, me go try continue to dey get time to dey type epistles.


You can refurbish a Tubular / SLA / GEL batteries, and give them a second chance; same way you still got chances to get things out of a non SSD disk, You can't, or have super Less chances with SSDs, or Lithium batteries.

What about safety issues with regards Lithium battery chemistry ? They rarely tell you those.

Who knows, a lot of people arguing here, might only be using Lithium batteries in their phones or laptops, not even as Solar battery, but still want to belong. Some of us never see 1-miillion before to begin with. Abi no be banks talk say a greather number of Nigerians no get up to 500,000 naira for .

Funny thing is, if I be una, I no go bother because lots of people don't read. When I first saw this thread, I took time to READ through over 500 pages but you go see people wey go come, read 1 or 2 pages, and begin ask questions already long discussed numerous times. Even when you ask them to read through the pages, na lie. they so so lazy.

You paid before requesting for Warantee. wow

bassdow:

I've done it several times, and that was the first time I faced hesitation. I felt it was the norm to just pay and then your warranty is attached to the product.

I guess it only applies to reputable brands.

Just received a 17kwh battery from Valto and the Growatt 6kva ES plus from Sygnite. Your contributions got me here. Thank you.

Another one for review..
LVTOPSUN.. Lithium na water for market.

mctfopt:


Felicity has it in 1.5kva 12v.

Thanks. I'll rather go for a 1kva as I just need something strictly on a budget which'll do the job of supplementing my grid/replace it on off nepa days for powering my laptop+fan.
I was going for this one specifically but no felicity dealer has it in stock, if someone knows why or has used it with reviews please let me know.

If there're other really trusted 1kva 12v hybrid inverters I can get instead I'll appreciate the information

Not a bad price. Is it LiFePo4? How did you purchase it? Valto does not seem to have a website.

You can say that again. to ensure optimal charging of the battery.That's a massive battery bank.

Kindly educate us on what you are seeing in "shapes" from tiny digital images that makes you say with confidence that they are lying even without reviewing more important specs like weight or even dimensions.

Anyway till then, we thankfully have gurus actually reviewing these "shapes" and giving us proper findings and not hearsay .

Battery capacity and Inverter capacity has nothing to do with size, he can even do No , 4, 5, 6 8, 16 if he wish.
What if Grid is available, or his load is only 300w average?
