You said exactly what I was going to say.

I use Panasonics and Daikins (inverter AC) exclusively now - I had tried LGs and other brands but always got dissappointed.

My Panasonics and Daikin ACs chug along with no issues at all, ditto the Panasonic blender and hot water kettle

FEGEITOK:


Agreed, that it is not about the brand name, but the source of the brand, my research led me to the direct representatives. I got it from the direct representative, and got it installed by a certified installer.

My Panasonic was made in Malaysia, we have have made in China and made in Indonesia. My Diakin is made in India.

That said, I am trying out Daikin having been thoroughly impressed by Japanese technology in Panasonic. Need I say I got a Panasonic blender that has lasted over 15 years and works as new, never been repaired. Daikin is also Japanese.

Disappointed as they consume more power or with issue of durability?
@niyiOmolyunade

The LG inverter ACs are pretty energy efficient (they save power). Just that they don't last long - performance starts to degrade within a relatively short time.

Panasonics just keep going on and on - of course you want to buy the made in Malaysia ones from the authorised distributor and not the chinese clones - the proper made in Japan ones are literally priced out of the reach of the common man

Fill it 3/4 full with fresh tiger nut and add 1 teacup of water, and blend till smooth.

Wicked men too plenty for this Naija

Boss you want kill the blender by force?

samir101ng:


Great to hear

You can checkout SolaX X1 Hybrid G4 and Alpha ESS SMILE-G3 range of inverters for all in one inverters with high voltage batteries. SolaX has an authorised dealer here in Nigeria https://www.atlanticwastepower.com/ with a 10yr warranty on their products. Cool setups that are an all in one package without seperate charge controllers, combiner box, batteries, etc.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Will update you once I check it out.

Everything in life is in grades.

We are not saying the other inverters don't work, neither are we saying the other brands of blenders don't work.

We are saying for how long will they work?
We are also saying what extra features do they have?
We are also concerned about the quality of the workmanship and engineering that goes into the product.

That is the driving factor in the final purchase not just the price.

Let me give an example.

Can you compare high-end high fidelity audio equipment like Accuphase or the now discontinued Kenwood with the boom boxes sold in our markets today?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUqOw_SZ4BU

The sound reproduction is not the same. Yes both will play sound, but the difference is as clear as the difference between night and day.

This is also why even those discontinued Kenwood models fetch top dollar today.

Something tells me though that you are being sarcastic.

Does anyone have any old solar panels, inverter and or batteries still functional to gift out. Lemme also join this train

NiyiOmoIyunade:
I have used both Lead Acid and Lithium.

Lead Acid I started off with the typical sealed Luminous, Genus, Sinergy which all dissappointed then moved on to Flooded US Battery which also dissappointed then ultimately went for Lithium. When I say dissappointed, I mean they did not all make the promised cycle life despite being used within charge and discharge specs and best practices. For customer installations I used Quanta AGM which did better but mostly still fell short of the expected cycle life.

I ported to Lithium 2018/2019 ish, lived offgrid exclusively off 16 units of Pylontech US2000 - 3 years and several hundred cycles later they are still going strong and no discernible performance degradation, also Lithium allowed me to move from dreading customer calls (once you hear backup time is reducing you know lead acid don dey near end of life) to answering them with my full chest and only getting calls for capacity and feature upgrades and referrals for new business.

There are some use cases where lead acid may be sufficient - when a newbie asks me for advise I always tell them to stay with 12v systems because it gives more stability and longevity. Lithium is almost always a better option but needs a lot more bells and whistles (BMS and balancer circuitry) - I daresay the BMS and balancer is one key reason why Lithium tends to do so well and if one could make a Lead Acid BMS that could balance individual cells, the lead acid story might change a lot.

Really the bane of all battery systems is how to keep cells in series well balanced - whoever solves that problem will greatly extend his battery service life. The Lithium chemistries are mostly superior to lead acid but also a lot less forgiving of mistakes (overcharge/discharge)

where can I get a good lifepo4 battery. 12v 200ah and price sir

the running wattage of my fridge is around 150w while the surge is 520w which is almost X4 of the running wattage.
According to the picture you posted, the running wattage of your fridge should be around 195w with the surge going up to around 800w which any decent 1.2kva inverter should chest comfortably. That is the reason I suggested the Tbb as I am sure it will serve you.

Boss, finally got Watts Meter, attached contain running watts readings from two devices.

Binatone Cool Guide display 156W, while Watts Meter display 79.5W both are the running watts.

Considering the Fridge is rated 0.9a with 220v - 240v, which device reading should be correct?

Penuelseun:
small tbb inverters do not have any display on them, but they sell external display meter through which you can edit the settings and look at the inverter information. Read it can be integrated online through raspberry pi.

I will be going for LFP + 1.2kva tbb, since BMS is included in the setup, do I still need external display meter before I can edit the settings?

I will believe the cool guard to be on the safe side, why don't you plug in the meters differently to see if you get a different result

since you are in Lagos, you should get it directly from there office so that the settings can be edited for you, you don't need the external display if you have the correct settings uploaded at the point of purchase

Give me the weekend to revert

No problem

A pack of 8 brand new 230ah Eve cells still available @80k each. Reachout if interested... Make a 24k pack or 2 units of 12v packs.

Still available

Anyone got link for a very portable 16s lifepo4 BMS with Bluetooth feature?

They both uses "120A JBD bms" as he stated.

I did the test separately and got same result. This is the third time am doing this test now.

Watts Meter shows 0.302Kwh at 4hra 37mins usage. It also show High current draw of 95.4W and low current draw of 67.5W.

Use a known load to determine which of the meters is correct.

A pressing iron perhaps, or a laptop

I recall that the Binatone CoolGuard I got was similarly imaccurate for watt consumption - I tried it vs various meters and known loads and it dissappoonted me each time so I threw it in the bin wherein I keep dissappointments.

Possibly it may prove to be more accurate with larger loads up to or above 1000watts but I never did that test
