Obnoxious2001: You spoke well . I don't know why some people are hell bent or having sleepness night over lead acid. The truth it is cheaper and serves its purpose. I have been using tubular batteries for 4years plus and no issues. Majority of people are on tubular for one reason it is affordable and carries its weight. You go to an average Nigerian home it is lead acid, it serves its purpose especially in this difficult times. Am sure I will keep running my tubular till a different technology apart from lithium comes along. (Likely get another 5 to 6 years from those bad ass batteries). Likely then, i will jump on that one, then those that are currently on lithium i will castigate them also . And ask the question wetin you still they do with lithium....... technology has phases . 4 Likes |

Drgreatone: 5kva 48v hybrid.. with inbuilt charger 4 * 12v 200ah batteries 8 * 300w panels (everything bought new, but we were later told the panels are actually rated lower in watts but reportedly manipulated by the vendors) The Shneider DC circuit breaker could be fake (pretty sure of that) Installation is nearly 3 years now, still running, but the batteries don't seem to be getting enough charge; and we are not sure whether this is due to the panels not performing optimally or something to do with the DC circuit breaker |

samnaija:There will be no need to castigate anyone because some of those guys using lithium phosphate today may get there before you.. As I earlier said, everything in life has to do with choice. It's wrong to condemn people's choice.... What works for Mr A may not work for Mr B. Whenever I designed systems for my customers, I gave them the two battery chemistry to make a choice, even though I'm not selling lead acid batteries. There are some lead acid batteries (12v 200ah/220ah) that are currently sold within the range of 300k to 310k and they will serve the purpose at a given period. There are also lithium phosphates of the same capacity and the same amount and they will serve the purpose at a given period as well. It's all about the market flexibility, the individual budget and what they aim to achieve. 1 Like |

Morning if you read this thread from the beginning, you will notice the change in battery technology in Nigeria. About 10 to 12 years ago , generally Nigerians were using gel maintenance free batteries, while those that have money used agm batteries. I was stuck with gel batteries. Agm Of course was better but cost more. All of a sudden flooded batteries became the new baby ( trojan and one American battery ). Of course new battery tech will initially cost someone a kidney to get. But a few of us on this forum were on this new battery (flooded batteries) , and we all dreamed to acquire these batteries. All of a sudden tubular batteries walks in with a cheaper version of flooded batteries. I was on my last lap of my maintenance free batteries. It was far cheaper than the original flooded, but same tech. I joined tubular immediately and so did most nigerians leaving behind gel batteries , agm and even original flooded batteries. Then the new battery tech in Nigeria, lithium far better than original flooded, agm and tubular batteries. But like i mentioned earlier new tech wil cost an arm , a leg with even kidney this time. I am very confident a cheaper version of lithium will come along soon. And nigerians will do the needful and migrate. Till then we go manage our tubular batteries. My respect goes to those already on lithium it is not an easy fit to achieve.. someone has to break in new technology. 3 Likes |

mctfopt:Boss, even with large bank, lead acid battery can still be properly charged and managed very well. Once you get the basic things right, every other thing takes care of itself. This issue of comparing LA battery with the Lfp has been discussed extensively some years back in this forum. George_D has large LA battery bank and he has used it for about 6 years then. Maybe, it's up to 10 years now. He's one of the founder of this forum and I really learned from his knowledge and I'll always appreciate him. |

TechGeek777: TechGeek777: What does RJ port have to do with Parallel, Does Solar panels or Batteries need RJ before they give you more AH or A when you parallel them? When you Parallel a Batteries or Solar panel, you simply connect the + together and - Terminals together to give you combined AH or A. If you do that for a 100AH and 105AH it becomes 205AH, if you do that on Solar panels of 8A and 10A it becomes 18A. |

samnaija: The point is, to get me wrong, flooded lead acid batteries should NEVER come to the picture in the first instance!! Cos , it a bettery chemistry been faced out. No body on other side of this world still use flooded batteries. Its was an aberration to start using it here as a new born tech. Immediately they stopped using it out there, they started dumping it here. Flooded batteries were installed out side the living environment of any animal, not to talk of human being!! Our people started installing it in a human being living rooms! What does that make us? 1 Like |

When lifepo4 started here on this forum, I spoke for it but when I needed to replace my bank then, funds was not available, so I thought and wished. I went for lead acid, quanta (I can never use any brand of flooded, be it Trojan or so). I used my quanta well, I have a meter to check my ah in and out. I hardly go below 65%[I use around 30-35% of the capacity). 4 years is almost here of using it, the capacity has dropped to 30%. If you must use lead acid, go the route of 2v. 3 Likes |

isangjohnson: With regards to George D, it is pertinent to note that big banks of lead acid battery in series is a different ball game to big banks of lead acid battery in a series-parallel connection. Also the inverter with this combo too plays a big role. That said, I would not personally recommend big banks of lead acid battery where the energy needs is high. But as they said each user should know what works best for them, but in my experience the need to use LA battery (especially for a 12v LA battery) where the energy is high is not something I would recommend, especially for 48v system and below. |

Like every other notable person here has said, many factors determines the type of batteries to gt either old folk or newbie, the cost is the main issues for a lot of folks. Some installers always present their customers with the lowest possible solutions that wont last. Many times Hybrid inverters have been bad mouthed here saying this and that abt it, someone even came to this thread with the same idea cos he read it from past posts that Hybrid inverters are bad. Lets stop all this bad mouthing and condemnation of products, this thread was created for a purpose, its has swerved far from it. We can air out our opinions in a well respectable manner, not everyone has financial strength to buy lithium battery, while some are making it seem as if using lead-acid or tubular batteries is a big curse. If you are a lithium user share ur journey talk good things abt it make people want to adopt it bt dont condemn where u are coming from, cos you are in a better place nw which is still nt the last busstop, technology evolves everyday. Lastly i notice we dont talk more abt maintenance here all the time, if you have lead acid and tubular that has been working for you 3+ yrs , share you journey with others, what preventive methods did you adopt to get to this stage and what other equipments did you buy to make it more effective and long lasting for you, e.g battery balancers, how you use them, what kind of equipments do you power with them. Etc We are all here to learn from one another, nobody knows it all. Cheers 4 Likes |
