Valto:
i bought my 2 solar panels, 1pc 200amps and my 3000watts inverter from the same person in alaba int. bright solar energy investment limited. i bought my 200watts 35k each, but not sure it will go like that for now. call him for 250watts inquiries
08067803774, 08051148679

Thanks boss much obliged. Has anyone in the house been able to source 200ah batteries for less than 55k? Did anyone call the ibadan guy??

Please I need advise.

I noticed that my ups is normally hot after 30mins of usage... It is normal...? Can I continue using it.. It is a 640v ups. Bluewater.

I am. Afraid it will catch fire or blow. So I normally put it off every 1 hr..

Any solution for d internal heat inside it..pls advise

I only connected it to a 54 amp battery

It depends on how hot, its supposed to be hot but not extremely hot like overheating, my 650va blue gate is one of the latest model type, it doesn't overheat and I don't have the cooling fan inside and atimes its ON for 24hrs, don't know how hot ur ups is but u can buy a cooling fan, if u have read through dis thread from page one , u will see a picture of it and how to install it urself, or give it to an electrician, at oshodi ,the cooling fan is 300naira but other places its 500naira, its square in shape, and its 12volts, don't buy the small ones, ur electrician will install in inside the ups and the fan should face the transformer, if u don't know how a cooling fan looks like, just check ur smart charger, it has the small ones installed inside or check the back of ur stabilizers or inverters too, but first find out how hot it is, use for more than 30min and touch, if its too hot that u can't put ur hand on it, then u need the fan,its normal if its hot but not extremely hot

Hi,

Can a single 80watts solar with pwm charger charge my 80a two battery solution
Ikeja Electric has refused to cooperate. I want to use a combination generator and solar to charge my solution.

Once fully charged it actually works fine but I cant keep using generator only.

Also do fairly used solar panals work?

gurus ideas?

It will take probably 4 days or more for an 80w panels to charge 2 80ah batteries from low state to full charge.

thanks.

actually its two 40a battery totalling 80a.
so that means it will take 2 days to get to full charge

I just need something to put charge on the battery during the day.

Okay then, that's should work fine if u don't use more than 50% of d batteries daily.

I have a 1.5kva inverter and 2pcs of 200 ahms battery. Recently I had to support my battery with 4 pieces of 150 watts solar panel and a 20 ahms pwm charge controller.My question is: how many 150 watts panel do I need to charge my battery equivalent to Phcn power?
2ndly I have this feeling that an mppt charge controller would have been a better option. Pls gurus in the house shld come to my rescue.

How good & fast ur solar panels will charge your batteries depends on
1. Panel
2. Most importantly, CHARGE CONTROLLER

We use 12v batteries and is low at 11v, some 10v. The same batteries are full at 14v, some 13v.

So, bear in mind you are charging your batteries from 11 or 10v to 13 or 14v and not Ov to 12v.

On charge controllers, if you like set up 2kw of solar panels for example and use a 30a Mppt charge controller that allows max power of 800w for 24v systems and 400w for 12v systems. Here you can see you are wasting or underutilizing your panels, cos it will take a max power of 800w on detecting a 24v battery system and ignore the rest of the power its getting.

So, size your charge controller on the corresponding size of panels you intend installing in your system.

Please where can I get that type of battery?

that was the battery used during 2007 inec election. Wasting in there offices. I don't know how you will get it... And I don't think it is commonly sold.

Good morning ceejays80s,pls it advisble to connect a cooling fan to the ups because i use it for 24hrs a day,7days a week,because nepa do give us 12hours light a day,and the ups is fully automatic no change over required,and pls if you can help me get fairly used two 200ah batteries because i heard that is more cheaper in lagos,the one i saw in edo state was a fairly new 200ah for 15,000 each in a battery sellers shop in edo state

Are you running on 12v or 24v, if you are running on 12v, then your battery bank is 400ah,and you need a 40amp charge controller. MPPT is better

Valto:
u dont always have to trust the % displayed on solar charger controller. if your sukam inverter comes with full lcd display like mine, i believe the battery % will be more accurate. but 1500watts solar panels and 60amps mppt is enough to charge your batteries full every day and still u will still av a little more to run during the day. depends on how much load u put on your inverter too.

valto it looks like you reside in yenagoa?

The batteries u uploaded the pic looks like car batteries, I hope I am seeing well sha ? 15k for 200ah deepcycle battery ?

How efficient is the battery?

Yes they are 100ah wet cells car battery,thinking of changing it to a dry cell battery of 200ah each,the battery i said the seller wants to sell is a dry cell tipper batteries,sold @ 15k each.
Fairly used batteries are usually cheap in edo state,you can get a 100ah dry cell battery for 7-8k each,these batteries are tested&6 months warranty given to buyers....

Ceejay80s,
Appreciations for some good leads here.
Pls my external charger just blow up. I have 400 amp battery with Ups converted inverter.

What type of external charger do you use and how rugged is it. Whats its working life? Pls also include the Cost.
Thanks a Million

I am using the 12v 30amp smart charger now, its 12,500
Mine's working fine, but will advise u to change the head that goes to electricity main source to the 13amp fused one , if u can get a 5-10amp fuse and change the 13amp, it will be better

Please why did you buy your smart charger? Am in Portharcourt could you please arrange one for me i will mostly appreciate.

30amps smart battery charger for sale, used for about a month, working perfectly, comes with the carton and manual.. also a WELLSEE 30amps PWM solar charger controller for sale at an affordable price. all are working perfectly. location yenagoa Bayelsa state.

Car and trailer batteries are different from deep cycle batteries. The Exide battery you posted looks like a 60ah lead acid car battery and the brand new of 75ah lead acid car battery goes for less than 15k the last time I checked (14th May, 2016). The cheapest used 200ah deep cycle that's been posted here was for 30k if my memory serves me well. Please double check label before purchase of the used batteries.

Valto my brother, seems you've gone off grid completely? Nice one sha; we dey follow u for back.

very efficient, stronger than car battery. I use it for plasma 28inches and go tv and charge like five phones at a time... Will use 2hrs or so then due to depreciation of the battery. Listening to music on portable woover it lasts 4 like 6hrs. The battery got spoilt because I do exhaust the battery b4 the next charge. Add me on what's app make I send you the imag

I am currently using a 1000watts inverter, I want to know if there is any difference using a UPS in terms of more energy savings.

lol, off grid ke when i av just 2pcs 200amps batteries and 2pcs 200watts panel.. phcn and gen still used occasionally, infact still important.

My installer told me that since my inverter is a 1.5 kva and a 400 ahms battery bank, I do not need a 30 ahms charger controller talk more of a 40 ahms charge controller. My question still goes thus: how many 150 watts panel do I need to charge my 400 ahms battery bank at maximum speed. I run on a 12v system. Answers will be appreciated.
