You can get by if you stick to that schedule. But i think part of the fun especially with lithium things is divesting yourself of the much stress of having to frequently baby sit that battery chemistry, for it tolerates more discharge abuse than the average lead acid chemistry. I think you having to constantly look out for when it reaches 12volts may not be fun enough. What even of you have to leave home when it's charging and you are not chanced to measure it?

I think a little curiosity about lithium BMSes and try DIYing some will be of great help.

Questions
Two fans and tv power constantly, for how long, eg 24/7?

What are the fans wattage?

Pumping 2hr, re u wiling to pump during the day only or u want to pump at night?

Inverter
A good 24v 2kva inverter will handle the work.

earthrealm:


WHtas the rating of the pump, for you to advice him to get 2kva inverter??

@caecear, even though the dc pump is tempting as you can do without inverter, i still prefer an ac sumo pump..say 0.75hp, you can power it with a 3.5kva 24v/48v inverter with 4 x 200ah batts, and 6 x 250w panels, if you are afraid of not draining the batts at c/10, you can time your pumping to be during the day in good sunlight... the only drawback of a 0.75hp pump is its lower discharge volume.

the con of the dc pump is, should it develop fault, you cant easily get a replacement at a good price in the open market....unlike the ac pump, though you could manage this by ensuring you have 1 spare dc pump at all times

Oshomo12:


He said 1hp which is equal to about 750 w, so 2 kav is ok. I ve a 1 hp submersible, 2 kva handles it easily, mine pulls around 680 w (max i have seen it pull).

earthrealm:


oh i didnt see that, i guess your inverter has a good surge rating??, maybe mustpower brand??
a 4kva/3kw mustpower brand has a surge rating of 9kw, hence it can power a 2hp or even 3hp motor/pump, as motors draw as high as 6x rated energy during startup.
so at OP, make sure your inverter has a good enough surge handling capability

Thanks to earthrealm and Oshomo12.

Is your 2kw inverter Mustpower brand as earthrealm wagered? @ Oshomo12

Oshomo12:


Mustpower is good too, but I use Icellpower XX2 series, it is a decent inverter and have a good surge rating too. There is also the new model of 2.5kva, but I use the 2kva.

Does anyone have an e-copy of luminous 900va inverter users manual. I bought it brand new but the person rhat got it for me misplaced the manual. Thanks.

olaolu11:


The conversion is simple. Just open the UPS cover, connect two wires from the battery terminals inside the UPS to an external battery (s). Connect positive to positive and negative to negative. Your TV and Decoder can now run for hours.




How can i charge the UPS with solar, phcn, or gen; i mean the wiring. Thanks

Your Inverter battery wires are too tiny to carry much current for a long time that is over 10 minutes.. you may have to rewire using a bigger one.
Effects power loss, as well as possible damage..

Why not get an Inverter.. that are built to work continuously as well as effectively charge the battery

Bossman! Breaking price barriers since 1965.

You put us out of business for the battery balancers and I see same coming for Quanta batteries.

Luckily I don't carry much inventory so very happy to buy from you at this juicy price.


My Oga, you know every. Always trying to help out.

Yes you're right ! He can simply get a Famicare msw 12v inverter with inbuilt charger which we sell within 25k range and save himself the stress of ups battery cable conversions, improvised fan, external intelligent charger expenses etc

zeestone99:
Quanta have put out a disclaimer of their fake batteries going around as theirs. Truth is the battery looks so identical. If I'm to even confirm authenticity with my bare eyes, I will fail the test.
Only with the serial number will i be able to know if it's genuine.

Sellers should thread carefully, buyers should also buy from trusted source.

What waveform does the inverter deliver? pure or modified?

ceaser:


Okay.
Would those 2kva series also be able to power a 1hp inverter AC, alone I mean?

Now there is this thing I am a little confused about. Is the ratings labelled on these inverters (kva) the continuous power rating or the surge rating? The reason for seeking clarification is that I notice some products on offer online give a labelled rating to their device which eventually turns out to be the surge ratings and this makes some buyers to complain in their reviews.

Is the standard expected rating on any inverter label the continuous power or the surge power?

Thanks.

The price of Quanta battery 200AH is 117k from the Indian importer.What is the justification of selling 130k?

GeorgeD1:


primefaith,
since no one has volunteered an answer, i will.

long answer cut short: greed.

it's the same reason why we haven't made progress as a nation.

imagine the price difference: 117k - 130k! i'm sure even the manufacturer doesn't make that much profit
on a single unit of production after discounting cost of raw materials and overheads.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
AFAIK, there is no Quanta presence here, only accredited reps, importers and dealers. The foreign source is happy to sell to anyone willing to buy and bear the risks of naija importation.

A genuine battery is probably best known by establishing an unbroken chain of custody from the original manufacturer to your point of purchase.

We should allow informed buyers to test new sources and verify genuineness as healthy competition is very good for bringing down end user costs.
