How much did you get the portable ac. Any chance of seeing the real life pix of it (especially how you did the exhaust hose connection )? My Landlord has a do-not-alter-building clause in my rent contract

ceejay80s:

Bought it 20k then with the hose, my window is slide,buy a very thick cardboard, cut a hole as it is on the hose on the thick cardboard, make sure its a thick cardboard,pass the hose through the cardboard hole and make sure it grips, open one side of ur slide window half way place the cardboard on it and glue it to ur window , do it neatly, if u stay in a house that has roof boards on the ceiling, call a carpenter to cut a hole through the ceiling board and pass the hose of the ac through there, do it neatly ,u could buy wall clip ,to clip the ac hose on the wall to the roof, hope u comprehend?
Some seller would give u a hose and some won't , if u are buying one, make sure its long ,incase u want to pass it thrugh the ceiling roof board

Hello Ceejay80, nice setup u have there; great thinking too, my question is more on the smart charger, what the input current to power the small charger? Is is prepaid meter compliant or is it a power sucker, like the popular recitifiers I have been seeing around? Looking forward to ur swift response. King regards.

I have one maxtron 650va ups hope it will work well with high amp batteries

radiokilla:
hi mate, i read from the fist page of this thread to the last post before mine and i must say that i am impressed with you patience in answering the questions posed by novices like me. i will like to setup similar stuff. we spend over 40k a month on fuel down here and i will like to know if it is possible to have a setup that could power about 3 laptops, tv, decoder and fan for 16 hours. the tv will only be on for about 4 hours a day. the cost implication will also be appreciated.

ceejay80s:

That 40k for fuel a month is a waste of money,
650Va ups= N1500
12v 40ah or 42ah battery x 5 = N30000
Smart charger = N7000
Red & back cable & celotape = N300
Total= N32,800

Or

650Va ups=1500
12v 200ah battery= 28000
Smart charger = N7000
Red & back cable & celotape = N300
Total=36800
And it will serve u up to 2-3 years of usage or more
Always make sure it plugged into power electricity always
Check the watts of ur fan ,if its high, u will need to buy a less electricity consuming fan like 20watts and below ,hope ur TV is lcd or led?
U will definitely get upto 24hrs depending on what u are using ,ur laptop screen backlight is turned off or turn off in 1 minuite when not in use, these floricent lights inside ur laptops consume power too,

But I don't power with my battery o!!!!! Its 15000btu ac,
Mine is very good and its 2yrs now but it fairly used, if u want to buy a used portable ac, once the sellers put it on ,put ur hand where the cool air comes out from, if its not cold enough, don't buy it , the trick these seller use is by telling u that ur hands are dirty they will bring water and when u deep ur hands in water and put it in front of the ac where cool air comes out from ,ur hands will be cool, just make sure u don't deep ur hand in water before u test the cooling capacity of any ac, don't let them deceive u, if its not cold,don't buy it and if its not tested, don't buy it, always go for 15000btu and above on portable ac 15000btu is 1.5hp ,anything lesser than that is for very small rooms
Before u buy portable ac ,search through google for reviews and find out about it from those that have used it, that's how I bought mine, I no need any ac tech to follow me go there and chop my money, thanks to my phone and google, I did so many research and I am enjoying it now

Please your batteries of 200ah if 28k. Are they new ones
I thought new 200ah batteries are sold around 45 to 50+ thousand

moski5:


thanks alot

Someone on this thread mentioned something about connecting a charger so goodbye Phcn ... how does it work?

also is der a cheap solar panel dt can do same?

ceejay80s:

Don't know much about solar panel and price though I have seen it at alaba shops, I only know it gets its electricity generated from the sun like superman who gets his energy from the sun and then charges the battery through the power of the sun

ceejay80s:
Simple & easy to setup on ur own

kolomax:
I want to use samsung 32 inch led for mine please how much will it cost for set up bro adding either DVD player or gotv

ceejay80s:

whats the watts of ur lcd tv and how loñg are u looking at?

kolomax:
It's 54w targeting like 7-8hrs plus charging of my phone

ceejay80s:

smart charger = 7k
12v 40ah (2) battery= 16k
or 12v 100ah (1) = 17k
650va ups = 1,500naira
red & black wire + black celotape= 200 naira
if u buy the 100ah battery u will get more than 12hrs
to hell with generator.
But we fit exchange lcd tv? Ur 32inch is just 54watts when my 32inch dey gym with 160watts.

kolomax:

ceejay80s:

about 25,700naira with 100ah battery or 24,700 with 40ah x 2 = 80ah
ur choice, my advice , go for 100ah

kolomax:
you were talking of 175 or 200ah how much is that

ceejay80s:

175ah= 28k
200ah= 25k
no ask me why 175ah cost pass 200ah, the seller said na so him buy am
remember he had fullriver and panasonic 40ah for 6k but now has yausa and its 8k so na him know how he dey buy him market

ceejay80s:

ceejay80s:

175ah= 28k
200ah= 25k

kolomax:
hope this kind of smart charger isn't bad I don't really know much about it

ceejay80s:

u hear say something smart , u still dey say it fit bad, some nairalander have bought it, i dont know why they are not commenting about it , except one person.
My dear its the best available now, the first charger i bought from ladipo almost fried my fullriver battery, i sell am off on olx. That charger dull,it over charges, no short circuit protection and so on, but this one i am using now na baba, i no dey sleep with one eye open again
