It's what I'm using. I've not had any issue since I installed it.

Thanks... For how long now?

Thank boss, I am only using it for 100Ah battery. I need smaller charger between 10A and 20A 12.6v

Have you gotten one now?

I need a device that logs daily energy usage, and stores for upto 2wks tecords.
Can you recommend any device AC or DC side...preferably AC side

Thanks Mr Ekei (Benin) for the patronage, God bless you.

I have a wireless meter that I may have up for sale. I used it for about one week before retiring it because it wasn't the model I intended to get. The range is shorter (about 10 meters in the open) compared to the one I saw on you tube which has around 20 meters. I eventually bought the 20 meters range meter which I currently have hooked up.

So the first one is available for pick up.

Edited. I realized you intended use for solar input monitoring. This one would serve purpose better for energy usage monitoring from your batteries.

Does your charge controller not have energy logging feature?

If you need a good one with basic features and non complicated wiring, check the item in this link. I have the type hooked up to a client's system monitoring the solar panel input.

How much do you want for the wireless meter? Does it use an open hall sensor or a closed one?

Do you have a link to buy?
What's the total cost including shipping?
I want to make 24v pack too.

Payment method shouldn't be a problem. I've once made payment on Alibaba with 10 cards

Alibaba sellers are not AliExpress, dudes can do virtually anything to get their hands on that USD.

Shipping too shouldn't be an issue...if time spent to get to you ain't.

Cheers

Good day bosses.

I intend to purchase a Solar inverter system to carry my TV, DSTV, lightning, fans and charge my laptop.

I found this quote online from a company in Abuja, is this fair enough?

I'm not going completely off the grid. So, my other appliances will be on the grid.

Dishtech:

Not that I don't want to use spot welder. It was deliberate because my cells are link with fuse wires for protection if BMS failed.

What I do is link only the positive poles of the cells to fuse wires (made that from 200 ohms 1w resistors). It is only those fuse wire links that are soldered onto the cells at one end and the nickel strips at the other end. The remaining connections are all made from welded nickel strips.

I tried using the spot welder to weld the resistor wire (fuse), but a lower gear is not adequate to weld. Increasing the gear to a higher one leads to the burning off of weld point on the nickel strip directly beneath the fuse wire and no weld is achieved.

What tesla did was to use Nickel strips with specific thickness to the current needed (in short, nickel strip that acts as a fuse), then use that in the spot welding process.

Some crazy criminal releases a global monster EMP and you'll still be thinking of balling in your ICE!?! hahahahaha

If that happens, that will be the least of your problems.

(And anyway, unless you drive a car made in the 80s or 90s, it'll probably fry your ICE car as well making it undrivable

It's a hybrid inverter which has a data connection. But I have no idea how to even begin to utilise that. I am looking for the wifi module on Ali to even see if I can make sense of it

maybe it used to be easy then or im not getting things right, I've settled for air freight costing almost more than the battery itself.
I tried paying with my virtual usd cards for multiple attempts now and even paypal that works for every other international transaction is being declined at Alibaba, the thing just d stress me!

10k will do.

It has a closed hall sensor, one of the reason I was mad with the seller because I specifically indicated that he includes open hall sensor according to the advertisement in his store which states that open hall can be included upon request. He was later yearning rubbish about that being the manufacturer's comment and not the seller's.

The other one I got came default with open hall sensor. Sadly it doesn't have temperature probe sensor and temp info on the screen unlike the one with short range which is up for sale. Surprisingly the temp sensor also works accurately well E ough as I tested it.

Good evening house,

Pls I need two fairly used Free To Air 100cm or 90cm dish in Abuja or Kaduna

i can imagine the kind of stress u will go through, just to import 8pcs 280ah cells. i will advise u buy those cells in Nigeria. infact it will be cheaper for you.

Please, what is idle power consumption of Growatt 3.5kva 48v ES Series?

Echoing @Valto's point, you may consider buying it in Naija.

USD rates these days is not as favourable as it used it. Also many banks no longer have great monthly USD rate with many stopping in March.

I heard (not sure) Zenith is now 20USD/month.

Access is now ₦550/$

First bank at ₦499.99

I think the only guys with better rate now is GTB @ ₦490/$ and capped at $100/month...so you'll need like 9 cards to pay for your 8 batteries.

Do not consider using air freight, you are better off buying it in Naija especially considering you are buying like 8.

But if you still want to go ahead, consider using sea shipping ETA like 4 months.

Air frieght na no go area na. 8pcs of EVE 280K cells weigh around 5.5kg x 8=44kg, plus about 3kg packaging weight =47kg.
47kg x 14$/kg/(battery goods rates) = 658$
plus customs charges per kg 600x 47kg=28200
so u spend a total of 658x 580= 381640+28200=#409840. on just air frieght that will still take more than one month before arrival.

cells are in Nigeria, there are 100ah, 120ah, 105ah, even 280ah readily available and cheaper in Nigeria.

To use nickel strips of such diamete is some how difficult, is why am using fuse wires to link each cells.

Yes, thanks

I agree with everything you've said.

I don't do air freight for any cargo bigger than 4kg.

Did a 1.2kg and ended up spending $25. Fair enough.

Dishtech:

I think the best battery for ebike or any electric vehicle is 18650 lithium batteries. Even telsa uses it because it has higher energy capacity.
480 pieces of 2.6ah of 18650 should give you 59.2v normal voltage and 67.2 at full charge. Which is about 4617.6wh or 4.6kwh.
If you were in Abuja I would have source for the battery and make one for you.

@Dishtech. Your contact for 18650s would be needed. I need cells.
