So can you build a pack for me 200AH 48V?

If you have the time, it's more affordable for you to buy cells and do your packs yourself, but if you don't have the time reach me on phone. we can easily do that for you. my contact is a bove

Sorry I didn't know that has been responded to.

But sha bro ICraft grin wehdone o.

How have you managed with 18650 for so long? I believe your pack isn't DIY but most likely factory made.

purely DIY, I have a very stringent test process, first test for heaters with thermal camera, we then test for capacity( I have 180 liitokala Lii-500 capacity testers that can test 720 batteries per day. 4 batteries each) then we test for self discharge. out of lets say 10,000 cells, only about 4,0000 may pass. we don't solder cells, we spot weld to avoid corrosion. finally we use 4amp fuse wire to link all the cells to the bus bars. we also use active cell balancers lastly, a well caliberated BMS that you can trust. I dont expect any less than 5 years from my batteries. you are right my office is a factory, and its open to the diy community to come in, test and build packs for a litttle fee and go. all tools you need and more available. powered by 42 pcs 320 watts solar panels and 80KWH of 18650cells.

Thanks. That's a huge investment in processing you have there.

I have a Daly BMS. Planning to get a Balancer instead. What type of BMS do you use?

in my house, I use Batrium BMS with 14 longmons, In my office I use a diy bms that I assembled. it has separate sensor boards for each cell or pack and a central wifi control module. its very user friendly. it can shut down charging, discharging or both based on over voltage, under voltage, over current or temperature. all parameters are user adjustable from android or iphone

I agree that putting the lithium consistently at 100% DOD will certainly affect life span in the long run (just as doing 50% lead will as well). However the intention was to give a capacity equivalent else I will actually say the better DOD spot for a lead acid will be 20/30% while that of lithium is good at 70/80%. That way the lead acid may be able to survive up to 75% life span of a lithium. It still won't last the years of a good lithium but should be close.

That said, am curious at your lithium voltage figures, do you mean your batteries actually hold voltage at 4.1v? As that seem like a max charge voltage to me (though I don't even get the high in my case).

I believe your Battery is Lithium ion Phosphate (LifePO4). your max voltage per cell is considerably lower, about 3.6v per cell. I use Lithium Ion. Max charge voltage per cell is 4.2v. I set my BMS to shut down Charging once any cell pack reaches that set voltage (4.1v). I don't do float charge

Am open to correction Sir, I assumed 100% DOD for lithium and 50% DOD for Lead Acid....Oya tell me where I misyarn

from my Opinion, there is no battery that is happy with 100%DOD, that's an invitation to short lifespan. I am completely off grid in my office, I use Lithium Ion and my BMS allows maximum voltage per cell 4.1v during charging and lowest discharge level is 3.2v per cell. that range accounts for about 70%DOD. I have had no noticeable capacity loss since I installed the Lithium ion (December 2016). The case would have been different if I do 100%DOD

Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ICraft(m): 1:12am On Feb 04, 2020
the truth is that most people don't obey the 50% DOD rule for Lead Acid Batteries, a good number of Inverters in the market shut down at 40v for 48v models, which is 10 volt for a 12 v model, this is already way below the 50% DOD target for battery longevity. My point is that its not practical to believe that you need only half your lead acid battery capacity if you are switching over to any Lithium Chemistry. I used 24 pieces of Agisson 2v 500AH (48v 500AH) from 2011 to December 2016 when I switched over to Lithium. for those slightly over 5 years, my battery bank never got below 47.4v. I sold the batteries to a friend who just retired them last December and embraced Lithium also. Lead acid batteries can last a long time if well managed.

I love to call it Pack, as it is made up of several cells in parallel. All cells were well processed and each pack have very close voltages.

With the BMS, yes I know. I already installed and enjoying my battery before my BMS arrived and I'm feeling lazy to install it. Since my packs are already doing well without it.

To build and sell? Yes I intend to but would be so difficult to.

Please install your BMS! lithium fire is real, I build and sell Lithium Batteries, I also make my own BMS which has adjustable upper and lower voltages per cell. Pls take the BMS seriously. secondly do not trust any BMS that has no dashboard, you need to see your system status every once in a while.

I have a solar power system of 3KVA 12 volt inverter and 2 pieces 200AH battery. I use it to power only 1 chest freezer of 169 watt 1.2A but the issue is that the battery gets drained and drop to around 10.8 whenever the sun starts setting (around 4pm). I have a feeling the battery is not good or is this normal. The set up was done about 3 months ago and initially it last over the night till when the sun begins to rise but recently, the battery gets drained so fast. Pls advise

First of all, your batteries are bad, they suffered undercharge for a long time and gave up. Secondly the daily yield from your solar array has reduced drastically as a result of dust cover. that's what destroyed the batteries. you need to wash them clean and replace your batteries. you also need to clean your panels routinely during the dry season, at least once in a month.

THE CHAMPION:

I have been hearing about this new development but I haven’t seen any. I have attended a seminar concerning this fuelless generator and it really works, it is reliable to work with.

Fuelless generator is very good because I am a witness to it that is what I use in my office and household.



When I want to talk about myself, what I will say is that fuelless generator business is what I do for a living because wealthcreationtechnology..coim has all what it takes to do it.

From the data above, it is obvious that these 6 people are the same person, The funny part is that THE CHAMPION has been hearing about this new development but he has not seen any, yet he is a witness to the same 'fuel less generator' also note that it is same he uses in his office and household. very interesting.

come on people, let us reason for once. if this fuel less generator actually works, don't we all know that the simplified chinese version of it would have flooded our markets by now? The scientific law which states that energy can neither be created no destroyed has only one exception, which is the nuclear/atomic reaction where a radioactive material decays to release energy. when I was in the secondary school, I built this so called fuelless generator for my school Jets club exhibition. even though my school won the contest on that account, I was disappointed when the so called fuel less gen died a natural death after 2 days and half without carrying any load. The design concept was using an electric motor, an alternator, a rectifier and a 12 volts battery The battery powered the electric motor which was belt driving the alternator to produce electricity to charge the battery and the cycle continues. if there were zero energy loses ie, friction, heat and sound, the setup would have been running endlessly if there was zero load on it, but unfortunately we are in a world where forces are always against each other. I have also tried to use inverter and power a charger that charges the battery powering the inverter, that one was even worse. it did not last more than nine hours. note that on a good day my inverter lasts about 13 hours.

Because Most buyers are finding it difficult to get the extra LNBs and Diseq Switch required, we have decided to include them in the package. While stock last you can get the whole Multisat Upgrade kit for NGN 5,800. this includes 1 alignment jack, 1 caliberated LNB boom arm, 4 lnb holders, 3 extra lnbs and 1 diseq switch. If you don't have an existing Dish, we can add that for an extra NGN 3,500. I am finding it difficult to upload pictures of some of the installations we did today, but I will keep trying
For the people asking me to make a list of the channels. I will try and do that but arrangement of channels may vary from decoder to decoder because of the order you scan your TPs and satellites. but the total number of channels will be the same.

Assuming you have an existing 90cm or 1m dish, you will need an alignment jack, a caliberated LNB boom arm, 4 lnb holders, 3 extra lnbs and a diseq switch.
The package which cost NGN4,800 includes 1 alignment jack, 1 caliberated LNB boom arm, 4 identical lnb holders and an installation DVD video
the owner will provide 3 extra lnbs and diseq switch. these items do not come with the package.
The installation DVD is easy to follow and Installation is quite simple but time consuming.
for non technical people, we do installation for an extra fee of NGN5,000 within Lagos.

You can combine any satellites from Zero degrees east to 40 degrees east.the birds must have at least 6 degrees gap to avoid LNB overlap.
