How far with my request

Which please?

Mavor:
This Sygnite people are mad. 60k for courier within Lagos. @HeavenlyBang and senior men here, can you please recommend a confirmed vendor and installer here who knows his stuff who can handle everything legit? I am tired of the nonsense and stress I am seeing online.

If you haven't got an installer we can talk.

Obnoxious2001:


Dash me

Hahahahaa.....that's a possibility, you never can tell.

iraybuju:


It’s not just a relay bro, you need a 12v step down transformer or any other way to step down 220v to 12v

Some relays and ors accept direct grid voltage and work with it.

I recently rigged up one or to use at home (attached) as an ATS, and it works very well.

I know what a relay is. I have a first degree in Electrical engineering and masters degree in Telecommunications engineering.

Eh, na agba you be o

Mavor:
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!

Your laptop and phones are most likely li-ion powered, shey you know... 😂

AndroBlaze:


Interesting choice.

Did you also get the inverter that is made for it and did Fouani install for you? (they claimed to a friend of mine that condition is the only way they will respect the warranty )

they havent install it but i am waiting for the solar . they do not have it yet.

quick question

can a 6kwh inverter work with a 5kwh battery?

bassdow:
Wait Ooo, so as you tag us finish, make we use our data do the convincing, then you take the money go give people wey no follow invest See eh, as you manage tag Dam5reey1 , also tag that Valto guy and all others wey get advert to make. Include their alternate s if you sabi am.

You need to calm down...

Let me tell you that you cannot use the said lithium ion you ordered on your fan because the charging profile does not match with lithium ion.

Rechargable fans charge up to 14.6v, hence it fits a lead acid and lifepo4 batteries.

The problem is not the lithium ion but the charging profile of your fan. To use it, charge via the 12v port not the ac to ac cord ooo (this will give u 14.6v).

If you want to charge the lithium ion to 12.6v via ac to ac direct cord, you will need a buck converter to reduce the 14.6v to 12.6v as this will serve as your cc for charging.

I can actually build a 5p3s here but the rumour of lithium ion here is just too much and laced with false.

I use lithium ion( over 200ah) safely for close to 3yrs now. Recently ran a submersible on it.

Na who get sense they use solar.

Yes as long as they are off same voltage

Oh men...this is archaic way of thinking o. I used to think that resale value was a good reason to use LA, but it's really penny wise pound foolish.

Case:
I bought 4 brand new LA batteries, at 150k per one. The plan was to use for at least 2years and resell so I can buy again. About 2 years down the line, the batteries are getting weak. To replace them now from same brand is around 1m. Even if I resell them as scrap at the best price, I'll still have to add around 600k to replace them.

E no pay laslas...I'm switching over to lithium gradually.

There are many affordable Lithium batteries on the market now.

You need understand I am not saying it's what I do, rather pointing out one of the numerous reasons a lot of people do what they do.

There are things I could afford, but that doesn't mean everyOne else could do same [comfortably].

What about having 8pcs of battery and one goes bad, if it's Lithium, you're forced to replace the entire thing because it's often a single pack, BUT if na SLA / Tubular, or the likes, if you really broke, you could either remove the very bad one, and continue using the rest, or replace just the bad one alone - Yea I know it's often good to replace entire line BUT not everyOne is that fluid financially.

Me go look your situation, and it's one of the things I put into consideration.

there are lots of people who knows the top quality brands of Charge controller, batteries, etc YET go for the any how brands - most times, na money force their hands.

Yea I know about cell extraction, but it's not CHEAP either, neither do a lot of people have such time especially if they have to send / travel long distance.

would suggest @Mavor just use a 12-volt charger (even if it's goTv charger, or the likes). Just a simple connections would do. If you begin talk Buck converter or the likes, not everyOne is willing to go through the stress of either doing it themselves (if they know how), or even paying an electrician a visit.

Trippledots:

Most overFear the fire incident of Lithium. Fire is only likely when certain things ain't in place.

Have seen battery packs where they used any how thin wires inside. In fact for your sanity, be careful how you peep into some battery packs. Outside fine, no mean say na same inside.

na so some go pad am with plenty carton like woman wey no get money buy sanitary pad.

TwentySix:
Please guys, can I get a power station or solar generator just to power only a 250l freezer and for charging my phones with a 500k budget? Or is that budget sufficient for inverter+battery+ set-up just for a freezer?
Thank you all.

You mean the 500,000 naira we know

Bruteality1:


Lol, there seems to a war against Tubular here. I was a novice before I got it.

Will i get Tubular if I had the knowledge i had now? No

Do I recommend Tubular? Yes

Both tubular and lithium are good batteries. It just depends on what you want. I recommend both

You'll even get more usable capacity on Tubular than on Lithium but that's a conversation we don't want to have or we avoid having here

quick question

can a 6kwh inverter work with a 5kwh battery?

I see someone has already answered the question, but any size of battery can work with any inverter as long as the voltage is the same.

You might also want to consider getting your s from someone else, as Fouani might be dealing with low stock for a while.

bassdow:
That the Fan has an input of 15v, probably for a charger, doesn't mean it's directly sent to the Fan's motor. A couple of step-downs would be made that at end of the day, the motor might actually be taking 12-volts or less

you're right. My rechargeable fan that uses 11.1v battery, came with a 15v adaptor.

Please can you share a sketch of this connection with this or on how it works as an ATS?

Currently this page is on 2016.

Can we push it to the present time 2025

ahh, yes o

What am I oblivious of? Enlighten me abeg

mctfopt:

It's a or with 2 normally open and 2 normally close connections. Grid goes to the coil, and also to the normally open or input. Inverter output goes to the normally closed input.

The normally open and normally closed outputs are interconnected and goes as the final output

How it works:
When there is power supply, the or energizes and closes the normally open s sending power out from NEPA.

Once Nepa goes off, or is de-activated and swings back to the normally closed position, sending power out from the inverter... I have a surge protector that helps with voltage fluctuations and also my stab has a delay timer that helps the overall function of the or.

Wait o, I ordered a Lithium-ion battery 11.1v for my fan, does it mean charging it through the normal AC input is not advised?

I noticed that when I use the 12v Dc side to run the fan it runs at an even higher speed and the batteries (LA) gets hot.

Abeg make una educate me on this topic well before I go do wrong thing

Ok, the inverter pix right.

Luckily someone just d a 4000w unit. That is exactly how mine looks like.

It's one Obinna that shared one for sale.

Thank you all.

Hopefully, you plan running the Fridge during the day alone, and would switch it off by 4:30pm abi do you intend running it at Night also ?

One thing I’ve learnt from Rechargeable Dc fans is that, when you buy it, just forget about the fact that it has battery, and use it just like a normal fan. Mine runs 24/7 when I’m at home.

Why? Because they are energy efficient around (15-20Watts). I see no reason why I should bother about it lasting or not?

Running the fan from the 12V Dc input will not make it blow well enough when compared to using it directly on the ac input. The AC input will use all the necessary power to move the motor at highest speed.

Wen the battery comes let me know.

Ahyjo:
I went through the same ish. Dam5reey just coached me around it.

Glad it worked out!!

Knowledge sharing is on our vision..

So here is the Concluding part of the Haisic 4 19WH 12V Capacity test


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cSSjUeU_CE?si=cDppLjQY0bGOsuDq

What voltage is full charge on 24v lifepo4 build?

dollarnaira:

Wen the battery comes let me know.

Ok boss. Thank you

CuteMaro:

If I get a higher battery which will raise the total voltage to 14.8v, doesn't this imply that I can't charge with the normal 12v charger?

I am not even talking about charging right now as that is another hurdle entirely, you can check the voltage of the charger with a multimeter first

Let me laugh first, +9/-9v is too small in a direct DC application Are you joking? Though it is permissible in some cases with the presence of some circuitry, it won't end well in a direct DC application.

bassdow:
That would rarely be noticeable since difference between 11.1v and 12v is too small.

A reduction in Voltage, would lead to an increase in current draw, even ohm's law says this + I have done so on many occasions.

Even a few of my laptops (Core i5 and Core i7) are running directly from a 12-volts battery. AnyOne who have average knowledge, understands Laptops need approximately 19-volts to run.

But if you have been inside electronics well enough, you would understand laptops need approximately 12-volts . The rest is to enable it reCharge it's batteries; and probably power some optional things if present.

Can you now see the reason why I gave that advice?

CuteMaro:

I think I fully understand now. My own fan speed drops on the 12v battery compared to when on AC power. I think the only solution is to get that 14.8v battery to be able to maintain a decent speed.

Well I don already order, let's see how it goes if it's manageable, I just need anything besides LA batteries coz the last one I bought didn't last up to 1 month b4 doing less than 1hr back up.
