BetaTechnicians: Lol.... that is just the price of a plyontech 2000 yet you get double the capacity of a plyontech (disclaimer: only focusing on capacity and cost, not the bells and packaging). You can reach the local guy, he certain couples 12, 24v, 48v variants at reasonable prices. Here is his number: 0 eight 030 six 3 three 202 Disclaimer: I am just his customer not business partner so you may also do your due diligence ![]() I will actually be interested to hear experiences from those who have tried his product |

Problem not solved Its a 1.5kva/24v luminous inverter Inverter still works fine. Charges battery with power supply And still powers all my appliances But shows the Service Assistance indicator light mctfopt:

quest4s: You may need to troubleshoot with various scenarios: 1. What happens if you disconnect solar 2. What happens if you disconnect utility charging source 3. What happens if you disconnect inverter output load |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 1:18pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
quest4s: Disconnect and reconnect the battery. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 1:19pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
quest4s: DISCONNECT inverter from battery for about 20secs and reconnect. this simple reset resolves over 50% os simple inverter malfunctions |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by quest4s: 1:20pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
Done that several times Disconnected everything connected to it reconnected again and powered it. Same thing Even waited for an a hour at some point. Yet same thing. Started yesterday afternoon. mctfopt: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 1:24pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
mctfopt: True and this is still valid up till now. I have just secured my BMV 712 (and by the way I happen to have extra BMVs which should get to me sometime next month, if anyone is interested to buy you can pm me). Regards |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by quest4s: 1:25pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
I only use PHCN or Generator no solar connected on it yet 2. If I disconnect power battery kicks in seamlessly 3. Continues running on no load ojeysky: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 1:28pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
quest4s: So there is no scenario where the maintenance error goes off? |

ojeysky:chai, na this fan jumia de sell 8000 ![]() |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by quest4s: 1:33pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
Yes it doesn't. Tried all permutations and combinations still error persisted. Am still using it on battery now and everything is powered just fine but I want to get the error message cleared and also the possible cause Could there be a way to reset the inverter memory or something as this error prompt could also be an error ojeysky: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 1:58pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
Valto: My brother na wa o....there was a time I ordered standing qasa fan from a NL alaba person but I then found the same fan at 5k less on Jumia..... So I guess you win some and loose some with this naija online shopping mata 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 2:02pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
quest4s: There was a time I used that kind of inverter before I transferred it to my Bro, the charger indicator stopped blinking when charging but since every other thing seem to work fine. I just kept firing the thing and it's still serving to date. So if all is fine with its operation just no worry much ![]() |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 2:49pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
quest4s: If under warranty, you may need to consult the seller about the issue. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Systrom(m): 3:59pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
Can someone give me a reliable contact of inverter and solar dealers in Alaba market Thanks |

eleojo23: Which charger did you get as a replacement? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by spartacus11(m): 4:21pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
ojeysky: Wow see wonders |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eleojo23: 4:23pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
spartacus11:Non yet. I am eyeing some on AliExpress. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Penuelseun(m): 4:26pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
eleojo23:Did you confirm the voltage with an external meter? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eleojo23: 4:42pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
Penuelseun: Yes. I have a smaller charger with a voltmeter and I also used one of these DIY voltmeters. The bulk voltage was still over 15V and float 14V. I could tell the AGM battery was pissed by the 14V the charger was giving it as float voltage because it was hissing considerably. ![]() Hissing can't be a good thing or can it? 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by spartacus11(m): 4:42pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
eleojo23: Ok bro, do share wen u do, i hear boiling sound on my small 100Ah wen it is almost getting full, at that point i know say the charing voltage is too high |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by spartacus11(m): 4:43pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
eleojo23: I've read about it every article keep saying it is not. Me I'm just tired, |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eleojo23: 4:44pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
spartacus11: Which charger do you use? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eleojo23: 4:45pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
spartacus11:Same here. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by spartacus11(m): 4:47pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
eleojo23:i was using the inbuilt charger of Suoer SAA-1000C then i bought FoxSur 12V 8A- 24V 4A same thing on the boiling sound when it is getting full |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eleojo23: 4:51pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
spartacus11: I think that FoxSur charger also reaches 15V from reviews on AliExpress. I am looking for a charger that stops at around 14.5-14.8V bulk and 13.5-13.8v for float. I have found some on AliExpress but still studying the details so as not to make the same mistake again. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by spartacus11(m): 5:01pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
eleojo23: The Fuxsur start charging from a lower voltage as the battery gets full the voltage will keep increasing whe the Amp will be reducing. It stops charge at 14.8V 1.1A (Full Charge) It charges around 13.5-13.8V between 50-75% of battery charger anything from 85% battery charge it picks up to 14.0-14.3V thats wen the Amp starts dropping 14.5-14.8V 5A- 1.1A I think it is just best for Flooded battery i just dey sorry for my 100AH GBM Gel battery |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eleojo23: 5:07pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
spartacus11: In that case, it will be good for my AGM. I need between 14.4 to 14.8v for full charge and 13.7 for float. But since you are using Gel, I think you need something that will stop at around 14.5v bulk and 13.5v for float. I have this 6A charger (screenshot below) that I use for my Gel battery. It stops at around 14.5v and occasionally shows 14.6v. The float voltage is 13.5v The gel battery seems to be enjoying the charge it gets but time will tell...although it's been 9 months now without issues. It still charges the AGM but I needed something with higher Amps for faster charge, that's why I went for the Suoer.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Topmost11(m): 6:30pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
Explain this reverse polarity pls. Fan port says 12-15v in. So I guess it will take my 12v panels. If 7ah battery serves me overnight, 40ah should serve 3 fans(7ah×3=21ah)overnight and leave for day use when/if necessary. I am still weighing my options and seeking opinions. unicmarket: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by eleojo23: 6:37pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
Topmost11:I think what he means is ensure you connect positive to positive and negative to negative. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Topmost11(m): 6:40pm On Mar 09, 2020 |
eleojo23: So I thought too. But I had to ask to be sure. |
