Please, is there anyone selling a 200l solar water heater?

Good morning everyone
Just thought I should share this...
Going through the Felicity Solar website, I discovered that the package for 150ah and 200ah lithium phosphate batteries are labeled the same. The detail is what separates the two battery sizes.
The batteries sold in Nigeria are the 150ah size. This corresponds with the weight of 68kg on the packaging.
And the price on the website also matches what we are paying...if one factors in the custom charges.
Just thought I should share.

[color=#000099][/color]This is a special thank you message to @justcallmenuel for delivering on his promise. I purchased 2# 200ah 48v Felicity lithium batteries from him and he delivered it to Calabar within the time frame he promised...3 days. Please, keep this good customer service relationship alive.

I have done capacity test on the batteries. Here are my findings...

* The two batteries were connected in parallel.

* Batteries were fully charged (there was no further intake of amps as indicated by the coulomb meter)

* All external power sources were isolated.

* Load of greater than 2kw was introduced to the inverter. Inverter cut-out voltage was set at 48.5v.

* After inverter cut-out, the meter readings were:

Voltage: 48.6v

Energy: 12.442kwh (about 6.221kwh useable energy per 200ah 48v Felicity lithium battery)

Amp Hour: 239.7ah (about 120ah useable amps per 200ah 48v Felicity lithium battery)

* It is possible that I could have gotten a little more out of the batteries... But this is where I had the heart to stop.

* Is it wise to put money on this battery as compared to lead acid? I guess it is down to individual preference.

* For me, I am still experimenting... The financial implications of Felicity lithium to lead acid batteries is almost the same.

12# Ritar batteries @120k each cost 1,440,000 naira.
Useable energy cost is 100 naira per 1wh
(3 banks X 48v X 200ah = 28,800wh ÷ 2 = 14,400wh)
1,440,000 naira ÷ 14400wh = 100 naira per wh or 1k per KWh.

2# Felicity 200ah 48v lithium batteries @700k each cost 1,400,000 naira.
Useable energy (based on personal capacity test) cost is 113 naira per wh
(1400000 naira cost of 2# batteries ÷ 12442wh = ~113 naira per wh or 1.03k per kwh.

As I said, I'm still experimenting. Durability and rate of degradation is hanging for now.
