What I need is a 12V 5A charger.

Maybe I need to edit my post.
Thanks.

Sorry not available ! Cheer's

if u are on a really tight budget and watching tv on a small screen aint an issue, i will advice u just buy a tv tuner for 5-8k. Get a 50amp deep cycle battery for 25-30k. get an 80watt china panel for 13-16k, get a 500watts china inverter for 10k. Get dc 3 dc bulbs for 3k. U should be looking at 60-70k.

U could step down the battery and get 2 18amps battery for 8k each(16k total). This will bring u to arnd 50-60k

Rinsola32:


Thanks boss, but which option is the best? The first or the second?

donpata:


Guy, u are overexaggerating the whole thing. it's not as terrible as u make it sound. Run away from modified? lol. i didnt run away and i have been using it and no iss. Go to youtube and see people using modified sine wave on deep freezers with no issue whatsoever. People, it's just like when people tell u that charging ur phone on generator will kill the battery. So long as the power is stable, we are goood to go. That does not mean that if u got the money, u should not go for pure sine wave. The psw in itself is not exactly like what we get from public power but it's very close to it. Last last, if na tv, or laptop, get ur 13k msw inverter and flex. nothing do u

CSNg:


Hmmm...thank God you said Deep freezers. Their compressors are quite resistant to surges. Let them use it on LCD televisions that don't have AV protection and let's hear their story.

Not that I am totally condemning msv inverters but it is better to be safe than sorry bro.

CSNg:


Both can serve. If you go for the first option, you'd get longer viewing time than the second option which will allow you watch the tv for a much shorter period.


Alternatively, instead of buying a 500watts inverter for 10k, you could get a bluegate 650va UPS without battery to serve as an inverter since you are in a tight budget.

If you are in Abuja, I could set it up for you

Saw from your profile that you are in Lagos...oh well.

Bosses, I need your input on this.
I have 30k and I need sufficient power for laptop and 2 bulbs. I'm considering MTN lumos since 30k can't get me a nice setup. what's your take on this?

Thanks for lending your voice to my inquiry.
I didn't reply before now because the nairaland bot unjustly restricted my account from liking or commenting on this thread. Thank God it's over!

Truly, MTN lumos is a penny wise pound foolish initiative. I'm no longer considering it.
My load is basically a laptop, two power saving bulbs and 5 phones (factoring my neighbours).
So we're looking at a 80-100 watt load. I will need the laptop to run for at least 10hours daily.
My budget is still 30k.

Here,s the analysis of what I think I'll be needing.
1. Solar panel (50-80 watt)
2. Battery (30-50ah)
3. UPS or inverter
4. Charge controller.

What way can I get these components with my budget?

If you are based or supply to Abuja, I'll gladly do business with you.

And most importantly, if you have any of these components that you're no longer using, I'll be jolly glad to have you gift them to me
Thanks.

don't think of 10 hrs backup from 50ah ba3 over a load of 80-100watts ko possible

zekepio:

wow. It doesn't have to be 10hours back up.
If I can use it for 4 hours during the day when the setup is charging and I can still get 6 hours of backup at night then it's totally fine.

CSNg:


Only LGs? No Samsung?

Boss, easy on your self. I have been using a souer MSW inverter for over two years and I've been powering my LCD television with it since then without any issues whatsoever.

MSW inverters work well with most domestic appliances except Ox fans (and the likes). Your phone or lapotop chargers may also get hotter than usual but that is all that is. It won't damage the devices.

My MSW inverter hasn't damaged anything since I've started using it...

I think the actual question would be, between 650va UPS and MSW inverter which would be preferable??

Wonders7:
Hello guys! I'm impressed. I have to power on the following gadgets;
24" Led TV=60W
PS3 Slim=220-240V~1.2A=288W,
home theater=120-240V~0.5A=120W. sometimes laptop & of course charging of phones. [/b]Any suggestion as to the things I need to get? I need practical suggestions please. [b]Don't confuse me with Terminologies please. Straight to the Point. I will appreciate if you can give me options to pick from.
Anyone in Ibadan who can set this up should let's talk please. Thanks all.

CSNg:


150w Mono Solar Panel
Charge Controller
100ah Deep Cycle battery (minimum)
A 650va UPS can serve or a 1000w inverter.

Note: This will give you within a time frame of about 2 hours max in the event of a discharge without intense sunlight or at night.

Alternatively, if the power situation in your area is abit favourable or you run a generator, you can get the following:

12v Smart Battery Charger
650va UPS or 1000w inverter
100ah deep cycle battery or higher.

Remember: DISCHARGE TIMEFRAME IS ABOUT 1.5 to 2 hours max.

If you need to lengthen the time frame, then you need more batteries because your appliances are blasting about 500w

Wonders7:


Thanks bro for the contribution.
There is epileptic power supply in my area so the other option of battery charger may not be feasible though I run a Generator but I detest noise & carrying 'Keg' around. I only want to use the Gen for Pumping Machine.

Now to the 1st option; the 2hrs Max no pay me o. Looking at something like 5hrs thereabout. Moreso, I need an estimated price of these items. Thanks once again.

ceejay80s:


remove the home theatre woofer or boom box. use only the speakers ,i can connect the woofer back when u have light...
are u sure play station Is up to 288w ?
ur 24inch led TV 60w ? are u sure it's a led TV of LCD, anyway it should have economic home or eco home on picture mode option which reduces the wattage

Calculating your usage within 6 hours and using Ibadan your area which is usually cloudy with more rainfall than the northen states, your total Watt Hours per day is 2808.00watts. Which means you will need the following:

1000w of Solar panel: N200,000 (est)

45amp Charge Controller (PWT): N60,000... (MPPT: N250,000)

200ah batteries: N190,000 (est)

1.5kva inverter: N95,000

Total: N545,000

pointstores:
what kind of battery is 190,000 even u did not even quote protection inside

CSNg:


Oga... 100ah Exide Deep Cycle Battery is N95,000

95x2= 190,000

Since it is possible that a solar engineer in Ibadan will do it for him, i left the other stuff like installation cost and "protection inside"...whatever that means.
