The man in that video has been debunked as false.
If you knew the charging curve of LFP you won't say this. When charging from 3.39v sef to 3.65 is sharp upward line that could take only 3 minutes to attain. When discharging, LFP takes same quick time to move from 3.65 to 3.37 then begins an almost straight but long curve to 2.6 or below.
Keeping charge at 3.65v you are not only producing heat but putting it at the high threshold and risking overcharging errors. It's good to keep it far from 3.65v to be save from charger errors, and for LFP, be it 3.4v or 3.65v, it won't take 5 minutes to return it's sitting voltage of 3.31-3.37

This guy, you dey always amuse me with your comments🤣🤣🤣🤣 Will Prowse debunked as false… By who?😂 Your local government chairman?😂 Before you even knew anything called solar, Will Prowse has been cutting batteries in and out. Even though this your comment has been more than a month, I couldn’t help but laugh😂😂😂 He say na debunked as false. Even Tesla now advise their s whose cars come with LIFEPO4 battery to charge to 100% as Lithium Ion Phosphate chemistry is not the-same as NMC which is the one everyone is advised to charge to 80%. Also, you said “over-charging errors”. What do you think the BMS in your batteries do? This guy😂😂

Prowse is a human, he had made errors and made videos to correct such errors. He is not a demigod in solar. Most of the knowledge most of us based our argument on is via a 3rd party and not personal researched experiments.

orientation, air flow, and cable length are super keys to output generation. My test pv of 190w bought used few years output average of 7a on a good sunlight. Pv : 38v 10a max and surprisingly during September before this dusty days, I experienced 9.7,9.8 and 9.9a max. I was surprised to see this though that I had to use a clamp meter to confirm and it was affirmative......Keeper's series powmr 20a mppt.

Yes they re both 12/20V s with max current of 10. However the highest current I get from their parallel connection is around 4.5Amps-5Amps. The highest voltage is 14.8Volts.

I just did a quick test on both s separately around 4:50pm today. Here are my observations:

Africell 13.5V, 1.1Amp = 14.85Watts
Twin Tech 13.5V, 0.9Amp = 12.15Watts
Parallel connection of both 13.6V 1.6Amp = 21.76Watts


The connection should have given me 27Watts, but I’m getting 21Watts, which is very bad. What do you think of the whole thing?

are you sure your multimeter is okay?, the problem might be from cable...disconnect the cable and read from directly... you should get nothing less then 4/5amp from each

It’s a PWM charge controller that shows the readings.
This is from this morning:
Reading by 9:00am
Twin Tech 12.5V 1.0Amp = 13.75Watts
Africell 12.5V 1.0Amp =12.5Watts
Parallel Connection 2.6Amp 12.9V =33.54Watts

Reading by 9:26am
Africell 13.0V 1.8Amp = 23.4Watts
Twin Tech 12.9V 1.5Amp = 19.35Watts
Parallel Connection 2.9Amp 13.2V = 38.28Watts


This is way too low for a 360Watts . What could be the issue here?

Well oriented, a short cable length: my house is a bungalow and the whole roof to my charge controller is not far at all. This is today’s reading using my PWM CC:

Reading by 9:00am and few minutes later
Twin Tech 12.5V 1.0Amp = 13.75Watts
Africell 12.5V 1.0Amp =12.5Watts
Parallel Connection 2.6Amp 12.9V =33.54Watts

What do you think of this for a 360Watts

I love how you quietly skipped the main point I spoke about about the charging and discharge curve, but rather focused on easy trivialities.
Charging to full doesn't add any substantial extra minutes to your discharge in LFP tech.
And by 100% I mean 3.65v, and not just your BMS or other device telling you 100%.
My BMS is set to show 100% at 3.45v

Dear Professionals, please I am new here even though I was able to go through the last 20 pages of this thread. You guys are awesome. I have learnt new things from the little read.
Please, I need response to the following questions for a possible system set up.
1. Using Felicity products as case study, can a 3.5kva 24v transformer inverter be used on a 5kwh 48v 100ah lithium battery?
2. If the answer to (1) above is YES, Assuming a total load power of 700w with an average of 7 hours of daily use, is the set up in (1) sufficient?
3. If the answer is NO, what closest alternative do you think is possible?
4. Using Jinko s, how many s am I likely going to get to achieve (2) above? Also, the power rating of the charge controller to use.

Please note that my area mostly enjoys grid electricity at night, from 10:30pm to like 4:00am on the average, except during exceptional cases.
Thank you as I await responses from my "ogas" at the top.

700w x 7hrs =4.9kwh. u need atleast a 7kwh lithuim battery

3. If the answer is NO, what closest alternative do you think is possible?
Special Xmas offer from VALTECH Energy! 24v 7.1kwh lifepo4 lithium battery made with brand new EVE 280k cells of 8000 cycles + 24v 4.2kw hybrid inverter with inbuilt 120A Mppt 6200w pv capacity for 1.750m
4. Using Jinko s, how many s am I likely going to get to achieve (2) above? Also, the power rating of the charge controller to use.
u don't need an external charger controller. order 5 or 6pcs of jinko 555w from faouni.

Welcome fellow enthusiast.

1. Get a 48V inverter (3.5kva, 5kva, 6kva) for a 48V battery, especially ones with inbuilt Mppt charge controller.

2. Yes a 5kwh Lithium battery is more than sufficient to run that load especially considering your last note.

3. You're already good to go.

4. Get 2-4 600W (if possible, even higher wattage) Jinko s. You can get from Fouani if they have in stock, I have 625W ones for sale and it's what I use to run my loads.

Note: I'm completely off-grid (been over a year now) and find even 8 of those specific s an overkill. My energy needs is about 10 times yours and everything runs on a 15Kwh Lithium battery. The s are that efficient and as a bonus you save roof space.

Good morning great people of Nairaland🫡🫡🫡
Is Techland a reliable company(in of original product) to deal with?
Considering buying from them as delivery is swift compared to Fouani.
Jinko s or Canadian s…Which one should I rather go for?

Good morning.

Roughly same tier. Depends on value for money. I'd compare the wattage and price of both then pick whichever is the more affordable one.

I think they are legit based on what I've read here from those that have. Doesn't hurt to do your due diligence.
The Canadian s are a good choice in that case.

I have a 1.5HP Hisense inverter AC that somehow consumes about 1.25kw.

Does anyone know how to set them to a lower consumption mode?

For example, my LG 1HP AC drops down to about 570w on Gen Mode even at full blast. A feature like that on Hisense would be nice.

Never mind, did some experimentation and managed to have it run at ~650w (I have a load of about 200w aside the AC).

Good stuff. Set at 27•C on economy mode and chugging along efficiently. Obviously not super cold but more than good enough for me and most people I'd presume.
