Samething re-occured just this morning, could it be that the battery had gone really bad?
How many batteries are you using ?

Are they in series or parallel or combination of both ?

Have you checked connections ?

What's your location ?

As for those suggesting you buy Lithium next time, I wold once again sing my song. When buying lithium, you really need be super sure your dealer / seller is trust worthy as it's way easier buying Rubbish in Lithium, than in normal acid batteries.

This is exactly what came to my mind and the thing is that when it's other people that's doing it to their systems that they can't DIY it gets labeled as by bad work.

What's the voltage of your inverter ? is it 12volts and 24volts ? Asking to know if mayBe you could try the batteries individually.

Could you attempt disconnecting the batteries, and charging them separately first. You could take it to battery charger to reCharge it for like 6-hours but not longer as most of them don't use correct chargers.

Another is to check connections to ensure all is well.

Then you measure with multi-meter / ammeter and allow to sit idle for a while BEFORE reconnecting it.

You want to be sure the Solar panel is delivering accurate charge. Don't be quick to conclude on the batteries.

there are few other things I might do BUT only if you willing to pay for transportation to your location. I could send someone if you prefer.

Batteries (Fake or quality) don cost wella hence hopefully it doesn't get to having them replaced

DIY ain't really bad work.

DIY is more of you Doing things yourSelf, rather than paying someone to do same on your behalf. That's all DIY is all about.

Then there are those of us knowledgeable enough that we take things further.

Mind you, DIY differs from trial and errors Ooo

To really really accurately conclude if it's the batteries that are bad, take it to a battery charger to reCharge them. Please ensure they don't try to make any repairs, not even to change / top Up acid.

Now that reminds me, since it's Tubular battery, when last did you top up the water with Distilled water / electrolyte. that equally could be a factor. Happened to a client of mine and all directions I gave over the phone failed till I went over to their place and I saw it's almost dried up.

You could even tell us what level the electrolyte is on.

Please do the BOLDed part first, before my earlier suggestion.

if the electrolyte level is [too] low, e no go gree reCharge rara

However, if you are okay with burning down your house down because you are trying to save some few naira, that is up to you. I'm just trying to advise others to be careful. It is not everyone that have the means to burn two laptops for meaningless experiments. There is nothing you have described here that have not being accomplished in safer ways. If you want to use DC for your TV, buy a DC TV!

On AC vs DC in solar setup

I have seen a lot of argument about bypassing inverters and using the DC that comes from your battery directly. The argument is that it is efficient since it bypasses the inverter consumption and the loss due to the back and forth conversion.

The problem with this argument is that it is not novel. In fact AC and DC competed for approval when electricity transmission was to start. AC won for many reasons. Anyone interested in the AC vs DC drama between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla can read it up online.

The best situation with bypassing the inverter is if your appliances are in the voltage of your battery. That way, there will be no need for any kind of conversion and there will be no loss. In fact this is why a lot of DC appliances were 12V and why most early solar setups were in 12 volts. But 12V is inefficient for high wattage appliances because you end up with high current. The cost of cable to handle such current outweighs potential savings. Moving AC from 110 or 220V to 12V also create greater losses. That is how higher voltage equipment became popular.

So, unless you are using appliances that are in the voltage of your batteries, you still end up doing conversion. AC to DC conversion and DC to DC conversions both results in loss of efficiency. So, the idea that powering your equipment with DC is somehow better and more efficient than AC is not a universal truth. Your mileage will vary based on the efficiency of your conversion. With some inverters doing better than 95% efficiency, the argument for any kind of DC-DC conversion becomes difficult to sustain.

In addition, DC suffers from the indignity of voltage drop over some distance. From my power house to my server room (about 12m), my 14V source drops to about 11V. In the days of Lead Acid battery when the battery voltage itself can drop to below 12V, my 12V routers used to shut down or become erratic due to voltage drop. I know I could have mitigated the drop with a thick wire, but that will be costlier than buying a sachet inverter to power my routers. So, if you have a normal sized house, DC is not going to serve you well unless you are going to put buck converters in every corner of your house which will increase your costs and increase power loss due to conversion at multiple points.

Ultimately, inverters provide better solution than messing around with DC-DC conversion and messing with your electronics.

This is not to say that there is no place for using DC in some situations. A few of my gadgets that are in the power room are powered directly with DC from the batteries. My system is 48V so, I got some 12v and 5v step down to power some load including a router. The advantage of that is that if your inverter goes down for any reason, you may still have access to your network for troubleshooting.

One time I travelled and my inverter went into protection mode. My people panicked and called me. Because of the things powered directly from the battery including the sachet inverter in the server room, I was able to reach my system, saw that it was the inverter and asked them to restart it.

I kukuma no come here hustle clients though I sometimes get clients (a few big ones) BUT when in here, na to respond to questions, and sometimes share ideas. Had everyOne relied only on what's existing, I doubt there ever would have been any new inventions.

See Oga @adrusa , even God no fit follow me argue certain things. Recently had a bank manager who paid me a visit - him wan give us contract (just so you know, I'm software developer, and a server administrator full time. Solar and few other things na hobbyist pet project) BUT insisted on knowing where I reside.

As Oga come, I took him to my home office space and the man was surprised at the many irregular things He saw including the fact my Laptop PC is hung on the wall.

I even have an external Tv antenna inside the room. When he asked why said antenna ain't outdoors, I told him I modified it to act as booster and for some reasons, preferred it staying inside.

On top table, Oga only saw external keyboard and mouse + my 32-inch LED Tv-Monitor (still working then). He didn't ask me where the PC was but was looking for it until I showed him by point at what's on the wall. it's then He saw the blinking light.

wetin come give me extra work na when I tell am say all these including the Fan and the big 32-inch Tv-Monitor all run off a single 12-volts 150AH battery which is very close by. oga refused to believe. Equally told him it can run for 3-straight days without reCharging. Have done the test (when the chargeController was moved elsewhere) so I'm sure. And mind you, the battery gan sef na Tokunbo I buy am.

What further WOWed him was when I informed him the setUp doesn't require an inverter and Oga said na lie so gave him a brief class. All the while, i wasn't trying to sell him anything.
A lot of us spend time trying to sell to people we end up loosing them. me na freeStyle. I'm happy being all chatty and a lot of times, they get really interested. rarely do I do thins just to make a sale.

I have a much larger solar array hence whenever I upgrade, I mostly relegate the weak but strong batteries elsewhere. Before me go sell battery as condem, e no go fit hold charge for 5-minutes. Even at that, I fit still use am as stepDown.

At end of the day, the big man use style calm down. few weeks later, na me dey him place dey do something similar for him. As for the actual reason he paid me a visit, that one is currently being discussed as Oga first jump do Solar.

Guess what, they already have professional Solar installers who handled his house project. Even said He's got contact of those that handles those at his place of work (bank) YET na me him give work. Guess why, it's because I was able to offer something much different.

A lot of una mostly have single source of income hence always and often under pressure to make a sale. Let me ignore the fact a lot of una no even cool down learn work finish.

Imagine 2 landLords - 1 has got other sources of inCome while the other one's only source of inCome is the building. Una experience go really vary

Everyone seems to just gloss over your repeated referral to God. Pray tell, what do you mean by even God no fit follow me argue.

Abeg tone down on ur chest beating. Many innovative technologies started off this way. We don agree say u sabi convert appliances to 12v and you are a full stack web developer abi software engineer with a knack for experimenting.

Thank you and hopefully your DIY skills will translate into something humanity will benefit from in the nearest future.

Let me give you the response you so desire - what I meant is even God can't easily argue with me with no solid evidence on something I'm so so sure about. In order words, I'm so sure the color of my 5,000 Litre GeePee tank is black, if you coming to tell me it's RED, you better have prove strong enough to convince me even if you are God himself.

If you see it as chest Beating, no problem.

na una go start argument expecting the other party to keep mute so una go win. Me go follow you enter gutter if I choose to be silly enough ELSE una go win in discouraging others to think outta the BOX.

Me sef be installer wey a lot of una dey claim. I have seen a lot of so-Called professional solar installers who don't use Solar themselves. I first became a core Solar user as far back as Jonathan regime when I started running 12pcs 300-watts Solar panel, which I even installed myself.
Then through convincing people to use solar to reduce reliance on NEPA, and referrals, I slowly started doing for others.

A lot of us lack critical thinking ability hence must do things the way we were taught even if it ain't the best way.

Of course from my comments, it's easy seeing I am not the kind that waits on God to make use of the brain in my skull.
