A battery with 1.2kwh, 100ah. How bad is this battery?

Haven't even hit 50ah yet and it's at 80% dod

How much power does this shunt consume?

Does anyone know?

Guyyyy i said i would chat you today about this, and you are already experiencing what i planned to talk to you about. Your central stabilizer is the cause. PERIOD.... Stabilizers are crazy for leakages. I know from experience. Only 2 solutions: 1. Earth your stabilizer, not to your main DB, since it is feeding the DB or 2. Tap your inverter AC input upstream to the stabilizer i.e before the stabilizer, where the stabilizer is getting its own input from.

Hope you understand?
i totally understand you chief but out nepa light here is terrible and always fluctuating, I don't want it damaging my inverter so I won't by the central stabilizer.

What i plan doing is putting a breaker between the battery and inverter, so I'll just switch of the breaker whenever I wanna touch or access the battery since the shock is only on the battery.

If you're living in a rented apartment with a central earthing, disconnect it and install yours it will stop.

I had same experience and after I did that (t 2 4ft earth rods together and drove it to the ground and linked it to my connection) it stopped.

Jonescosmos advised me then to run an independent earthing for my setup and it's been working great since then.

I later found out that an electrician looped my neighbors neutral to the earth terminal in the DB.

omo you're right, they just took light and the shocking have stopped.

It's leaking from the mains. How do I trace this?

Try running an independent earth. When you've done this, remove the "follow come earth" which most times ain't effective.

Call Yemi 0805 two one 5447 one. FYI, that is not me, just someone that I know still have some in stock. And they are original. I bought some from him recently and I checked the serial numbers with Jinko website. He is also a highly recommended installer based in Ibadan.

what it consumes is very insignificant. 0.45w with the screen on.

Hello, what is your review on this firman / itel inverters on inductive loads and surge startup of AC compressor.

Do you have any recommendations on a 4kw/5kw hybrid inverter on 24volts?

You can buy the transformer based. If the Major Load are inductive ones.

why preset the battery at 280ah when it can pull 290ah?

Why do you still charge with phcn then? Make me understand. PhCN is your weak link in the system. If you must use Nepa, get a transfer switch. Use nepa when there is light, don't charge your battery with it.

I don't like nepa with inverter system

why not take this to a technician to save yourself the stress ?

Also, a lot of house wiring don't have (proper) earthing

mayBe him landLord no gree make He install solar s. Some people are in such situation.

Another set of people believe they have NEPA light enough they just need battery + inverter system to act like their Gen. abi you no notice say na since Fuel add plenty money per liter many people begin rush to Solar ?

Kindly disconnect it, if I must charge and solar is not enough, I use gen. Drama too much with Nepa

Though you need to rectify the earthing issue. The but is: na landlord house o

I've always loved the convenience of this transfer switch but its very expensive, is there a cheaper brand or place to get it?

it's close to 3 weeks now of active usage and I've never drained the battery no matter how hard I try.

A Fridge and a 43" smart TV with 2 ceiling fans all night has refused to drain the battery. It's very good.

My empathies about your situation, bro. This is definitely not the right time to make any mistake in choice of renewable energy components.
I have a KL110F Coulomb meter with Bluetooth app function that does an excellent job showing your charging and discharge values. I also have a crude, but detailed video showing you how to connect it

Price: 47,000


Can it do remote monitoring? How much is it together with the display meter?
