Jefferyzz:No voltage at the terminals using multimeter. CC does not see the battery Inverter does not too. Guess it's time to send it back. Their china technical office sent a message now saying a fuse must have broken inside and should be returned to the service center. Thought I could rectify it without tempering the screws and save to and fro 40k for waybil and time. |

That's high extra cost. See if y'all can split the waybill. You shouldn't bear the brunt alone. futurenix: |

JaySterling:Most premium / quality batteries would service you up to 5-years and more. but, you don't get such long life just like that. You need play your part as well. You don't stress the batteries. You don't run the batteries more than 20%. in fact the less, the better. Those wey dey do things such as "3.5KVA with 24-volts 220AH battery" go hardly see up to 3-years complete. You maintain the batteries, ensuring they're comfortable. meanwhile, there's a known brand that's known to last 8+ years. It's name is Trojan. Problem be say, the price go discourage you. Even at exchange rate of ₦400 per Dollar. but mind you, even the best premium battery, could go bad in less than 1-day if abused |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 4:23am On Feb 22 |
Jirilistic: I would say disconnect the solar panel cables first, then the battery cables, so the charge controller goes off. wait few seconds, then reconnect the battery cables, followed by the Solar panel cables. Hopefully, that resets the issue. Abeg Ooo, whenever disconnecting batteries from charge controller, firstly disconnect the Solar panel cable first. This is very important for those of una wey dey use those funny charge Controllers of questionable quality. We wey dey use charge controllers such as morningStar, epEver, etc don't often have to follow such doctrine. |

Dam5reey:I dey here SIR. but you failed stating that, those people suggesting people go for leadAcid batteries, do so due to the non-Straight forward difficulty in purchasing good quality Lithium batteries. Just like I didn't dodge when you shyly called me out, hopefully you don't whenever anyOne cry about how their expensive lithium batteries. why ain't ISPs (MTN, Airtel, etc) using Lithium batteries on their network masts, or, Banks, etc, in their setUps ? 1 Like |

toscotech: Bros, I tried to keep mute on this matter. Also, dem no tell us say person no fit easily reSale him spent / deCommissioned lithium batteries when they're retired. Person wey get 8pcs of 200AH acid batteies, can still make as little as ₦50,000 per battery hence ₦50,000 x 8pcs = ₦400,000 naira. Should it be sold as USED battery, you fit make more than that sef. Abeg na how much person fit make from Spent Lithium batteries ? Also, how easy, is it, getting quality Lithiu batteries ? last I checked, you're at mercy of the dealer ? How come, despite how wealthy the Banks, ISPs (MTN, Airtel, etc) are, they still rely on Acid batteries ? Let's not even talk of the fact, those stated amounts, are only for thhe Cells Ooo, e go still spend on other [compulsory] accessories which ain't cheap. And you know what, Cost for cells, ain't same as cost per battery pack. Advert no go tell you such things. Let me not talk about suitable uses of Lithium batteries, compared to Acid batteries. There are [good] reasons despite how good Lithium batteries look on papaer, its adoption, ain't wideSpread. Make I go pupu. I dey come. 4 Likes |

BlueStripper: To avoid communication gaps speak in plain language so everyone both experienced and otherwise go understand your setUp. How many watts are the solar Panels each ? You equally mentioned Lithium setUp, when did you use the lithium setUp ? Before or after you transitioned to Acid batteries ? |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by BlueStripper: 8:05am On Feb 22 |
Good Morning Everyone, My apologies for the confusion. I was so angry yesterday. I have an independent lithium setup that's different from the lead acid setup. Each setup has its specific load assigned to it. Like I said, I decommissioned the Fullriver batteries because they have served me for many years. I wanted a longer runtime so I switched to Tall Tubular Batteries. My panels are 1pcs of 560 watts generic solar panel and 2 Pcs of 180 watts Africell solar panels connected in 2S1P array configuration. For charging, sometimes I get over 900 watts of energy from the panel at full sunlight. And over 60amps from the CC to these batteries. I believe I have answered all the questions asked. Thank you so much |

bbally: It's always full. Infact one day I decided to charge them without any load. I charged them independently for two days then reconnected. Guess what? It still same thing. Nothing changed. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Jefferyzz(m): 8:09am On Feb 22 |
What is your bulk and float charging voltage on ur charge controller u used to av a sealed lead acid now u own a flooded battery. I assumed u didn't change the charging profile. U series 2 180w(say 36v 10a) then parallel them with 540w(41v 13a). U will putting 36v 23a(828w max) through ur cables(6mm). All these are assumed figure, I no africell don't perform up to the stated capacity. Here is where u should suspect foul play. Ur CC displaying 900w max is misleading I'll advise u get a DC meter to know the true figure If ure using 6mm cable (assumed) n d length is above 10meters. U will experience voltage drop u won't get up to that 36v Check d body of ur battery if there is a c rating written on it. Most lead acid are charged at 10-20% of their capacity. D cable between ur CC n battery too should b 23mm since ure moving 60a into d dem. BlueStripper: 1 Like |

Jefferyzz: Bulk 14.4 volts Float 13.9 volts. I changed to these figures. Please advise. |
