i thought i would change the board before they came thing´s came inbetween, and smooth things with a boy who dosen't know how to talk, even gave his boy transport money back

I Believe they would have told you b4 coming/scheduled a date-----, so why not tell them not to come till a certain date when you would have fixed it, or tell them upfront then that the display is bad, so if they still want it, that you would add an mppt board as jara ,

that is how I would have handled it, if it was me.....anyway we are all wired differently

@Niyi, that is a very good question, even thou all my stuff are renewable energy efficient i have 7pcs of Airconditioning ranging from 1hp to 5hp for the house a central water heater and you know one has to keep madam happy even thou the cooker is gas used but baking is still electric and they don't know how to manage while baking still boil water with the water cooker then still on the water heater.
Really interested in the bricks if the price are not too killing

Each pylontech brick is just 3kwh 48v abi?.
And i see just 4 pieces there, how are you able to run those loads for extended periods on them?...
I guess you have huge solar array or your grid is superb

Any group purchase of cells in this forum?

Selina Li of shenzen Dery.
Check valtos posts, he has posted her alibaba link b4.

She will group your purchase with any nigeria bound cells, and save you on freight cost + she is very reliable and decent

I don't know what load bearing of those AC outdoor are but I am not sure it can bear it considering the weight should be close to 100KG+

You might need to do something DIY and the wall been very strong too. Else placing it on the ground would be the way to go.


Anchor bolts are the way to go. As the big ones are rated for 100kg, so by the time you use 4 pieces, it would be more that sufficient.

The weakest point is your wall/blocks....the average blocks may not be able to handle that type of load for a long time. Unless casted walls or specially molded blocks... the 50liter water heater tanks weigh about 70 to 90kg when full and they worked well for years...though many started collapsing in later years

I wish Felicity is reading the reviews of informed buyers ....


They don't care, because even if its under capacity, the average would not be able to know, --- only medium to advanced s would be able to decode the under-capacity, so those are the people who would find this information useful.
2ndly based on poor performance most s have experienced from leadacid battery, the felicity lithium packs would be like a breath of fresh air,.well used 2nd hand or even 3rd hand lithium battery still has some useful life in them

If a global firm can compromise quality for big bucks, what stops a Nigerian DIY coupler from coupling used and under-rated cells for ignorant buyers like me?

it seems you misunderstand my motive,

1. to let people be aware of the true price of lithium cells, and how felicity , yohako and the like lithium packs cant be true capacity based on the above.

2, to encourage you/people that they can easily build their packs, if they so desire and get true capacity

3. a diy coupled pack can easily be opened and cells inspected if new or used...factory packs are a lot more difficult to do this.

ceaser:


What I have come to realise is that Nigerians are pliable so much that once they realize that they can't get compromised quality at any place, they'll definitely look for the money to get the real quality. The problem is sellers/manufacturers that make "substandard" option available because they want to quickly sell market. Another reason is sellers that put insanely high profit margins on authentic products thereby discouraging overwhelming patronage. In saner climes, a cap is always placed on profits you are expected to make on any services offered.

You made valid points.
However this issue of insane profits may not be true at all times.
Example a 280ah brand new grade a eve cell is about 110usd in china...add freight of about 15usd to 20usd per cell ,plus 2 to 5months duration before you get the cells. +Risk of total loss, should anything happen to the ship in the high seas, the forwarder will likely not offer any repayment+ flunctuating value of naira vs dollar

1. Question 1 -- what do you think is a fair price to sell that 1 cell in naira?

2. Question 2--- if you go ahead to build a battery pack with 16 pieces of these cell+bms+ decent metal case etc, to give u 14kwh pack. How much do you think is a fair price.

I think this Jinko and Pylontech are lithium ion batteries not lithium ion phosphate.
Look at their size, which lithium ion phosphate cells can fit into these units?
They are lithium ion.

I think you guys are mixing or using them wrongly.

Boss, I got the below readings:

1. LG 32” LED Full HD TV 32LP500BPTA
Energy Saving Watts {
Off (i.e No Energy Saving) = 36.5W
Minimum = 27.5W
Medium = 19.5W
Maximum = 12.5W
}

Note: I put this in energy saving mode and without energy saving (i.e Off) to get above reading

This is link to above tv https://www.fouanistore.com/lg-products/lg-tvs/lg-led-tv-32-inch-lp500bpta-full-hd-led-tv/


2. GOTV = 3.5W
Note: Above is rated 12v 1A


3. LG XBOOM CJ44 480 watts = 10.5W
Note: Official LG website https://www.lg.com/eastafrica/audio-video/lg-CJ44 wrote that the Power Consumption is 80W


4. HP 620 Laptop = 48.7W - 68.5W {
1hr = 0.050KWh (i.e. 50W in one hour)
2hrs = 0.081KWh (i.e. 81W in one hour)
3hrs 37mins = 0.132KWh (i.e. 132W in one hour)
}



5. Qasa 18" Rechargeable Fan = 9.5W
Note: This is rated 33W, but I got 9.5W


6. Scanfrost Steam Iron SFS12304 rated 1100W - 1300W at (220v - 240v), I got 943W

I DONT THINK YOU UNDERSTOOD FULLY WHAT YOU ARE SUPPZD TO DO.


you are supposed to plug the load on the 2 different meters you have..and then compare with the devices energy name plate.

example:
Panasonic steam iron 2400w sticker
1. binatone coolguard -- 1800w
2, 2nd meter ------ 2350w

by the time you do this for a series of devices, you would deduce which is closer/accurate.

2ndly at bolded, either you wrote this wrong or understood it wrong

HP 620 Laptop = 48.7W - 68.5W {
1hr = 0.050KWh (i.e. 50W in one hour)
2hrs = 0.081KWh (i.e. 81W in one hour) --------------- if your wattmeter displayed this after 2hours, then you shud divide the kwh by time in hours to get the average consumption, which in this case should be 40.5watts and not 81 watts u wrongly state there, same goes for the other appliances you used wrong maths for there
3hrs 37mins = 0.132KWh (i.e. 132W in one hour)

I did the test separately and got same result. This is the third time am doing this test now.

Watts Meter shows 0.302Kwh at 4hra 37mins usage. It also show High current draw of 95.4W and low current draw of 67.5W.

Use a known load to determine which of the meters is correct.

A pressing iron perhaps, or a laptop

I believe we were comparing Victron vs. Schneider boss.

Deye is a decent but yet immature product in my own view and for my own purposes. I use it at home as a backup system to store and use excess PV from the Victron side of things.

Deye is setup as the mains input into my Victron's AC In 2 and comes alive every evening to preferentially discharge my EVE cells until LVD then the Victron can start discharging the Pylontech bank.

To be clear the Deye works well enough in a simple home use scenario but still needs work to become a truly pro grade inverter.


I recall earlier where you said victron isn't a DIY plug and play device....has that changed, if not best you always state that when recommending victron, b4 a newbie listens to your advice and goes to buy victron, but gets stumped and finds out, he cant install and use right out the box

the matter complex a bit, a solar generator would invariable contain a lithium battery which is very expensive to ship legally, so seller must have used corner corner shipping...what is the weight of the item??.

you could post a link of the item so we look at it from an unbiased point.

las las...aliexpress has made it clear from day 1 that custom duty payment is the buyers headache...the initial money you paid was for shipping --- doesn't include custom duty.

be careful how u handle this matter, as your chances of winning a dispute is slim #myopinion

NEAT BUILD!. the ultimate poor man lithium battery pack
just wondering, the 8amps charging limit, appears self limiting, is it not too low? or is it because of the bms you installed?

2ndly the rocker switch there, what exactly does it control?..if its battery output...you shud consider swapping it out for a beefier one or a breaker instead

It's lithium.
Also it's for electric bike 60v 40Ah
I've been using it like 8 months now and about 3 months without BMS, decided to get the BMS before i damage it.
Hence the reason why the battery has different voltages.

ok, for ebike?..then its lithium ion--this accepts up to 4.2v per cell, lithium phosphate/lifepo4 only accepts 3.65v maximum
earthrealm(m): 11:46am On Sep 15, 2022
Moneyboyz:
Top BMS, has anyone used it around here?
Hopefully it balances this battery.

this voltages are too high for lifepo4 cells, pls confirm your battery is lithium ion, and not lifepo4!

which inverter are you using that works with such extreme voltages

i do hope you know what you are doing!.

if lithium ion...you should have 14 cells...that way the voltage is within what most inverters can handle----below 60v
if lifepo4, then the 16 nos quantity is correct, but then the voltage is wrong.

kindly review your setup, b4 you damage something expensive

The Felicity 1.5Kva 12v sells for less than 125K from credible sources boss - this is a smart inverter with fully flexible voltage and LVD settings in the box.

It may be deliberate unfairness to compare 'company price' of one item with 'JUMIA price' of the other especially also comparing 1.2Kva TBB with 1.5Kva Felicity.

Anyways, whoever has need can pickup the inverters they find fits their needs best.

I don't think so I made an order of $98 last month with GTB card and it went. though my card is a new card that was activated last month.

my theory is that these banks may have an amount of USD dedicated for web purchases, so even though they have low monthly limits, most of the banks relax this limits somewhat periodically on a week by week basis, with month end having the highest.

i had spent about 89usd on my sterling card by mid august...and it stopped going tru for my purchase of 20usd and above --- surprisingly I tried again 3 days ago 37usd item, and it sailed tru, I later tried a few other purchases totalling almost 40usd ytday...and they all sailed tru... yet to try again this morning
