mctfopt: I went through the link. The marketer was selling 6 pieces of the battery for 130k. If you factor in inflation and other things, it should now be about 200k. It is quite affordable...abi am i not getting something right? |

earthrealm: I am interested in getting 1 or 2 pieces of the Flames brand - the ones you said were recently installed. Can we create a group (with other interested persons) so that we can pool funds and buy at once? I am in Lagos |

ojeysky: Very pricey, indeed, for just batteries. But can one do 12v for starters? And does it use the normal inverter-panel models? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 10:10am On Sep 12, 2020 |
BeardedTraveler: The first pic, however both look the same, apart from the efficiency sticker on the first. Lemme let you in on a lil secret. The single reason aparently same ac have different prices is the evaporator/condenser, expensive models come with copper, which resists corrosion, while cheaper variants hv the evaporator made with an aluminum alloy, wch will corrode and leak within 5 yrs, especially if refilled or left unused for long periods |

ojeysky: 24 x 130k is 3.1m for a 48v 2000ah bank. Incountry price of 48v 600ah lifepo4 bank is Abt 3m. 40 x 12v 200ah quanta = 48v 2000ah is abt 6m I would take a 48v 2000ah lead acid bank over 48v 600ah lithuims. Wish the batts came in 6v 2000ah, would be a lot easier and affordable for a 48v bank owner. I wonder the price of 2v 1000ah |

IYGEAL: The lowest battery system for most inverter is 12v, meaning you'll need at least 6 of this battery (6*2=12) to make this happen. 1 Like |

ceaser: i tend to agree with the dod bit as part of a wider range of factors that helped prolong the life of my zenith batteries. right from day one, my battery lvd was set at 48v cut-off. This translates to 12v for each of the 12 batteries in the pack. and for the almost 8yrs they were in service, i can count on my fingers the number of times inverter tripped due to low battery voltage (it rarely does). in my experience, i have come to see lead acid as a "if you do me well, i will pay you back handsomely" kind of battery chemistry. provided you don't abuse them, they are ready to give their life, their all for you. and the zeniths seem to have done this in grand style in my own case. as for lithium, the good news is that i wouldn't be waiting another 15yrs before i jump on the bandwagon. i know the value of keeping abreast with technology so i intend doing a little experimenting in that space. maybe a little lithium bank side-by-side the massive lead acids might not be out of place. but first i would need a little time to recover from this huge dent the sonnenscheins have inflicted on my balance sheet. ![]() 4 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 3:35pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
odimbannamdi: Most 12v inverters comes with 20/30A charging, so charging 12v 2000AH will require a number of multiple external chargers. Some of those external chargers do up to 70A or more @12v. Ultimately I won't think of trying it for 12v even if am gifted, I can make an attempt with 24v but it won't be optimal for a solar setup unless external charging is involved. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 3:36pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
mctfopt: you're right bro, but i didn't get mine from him. i guess other guys (probably not on this forum) saw the great bargain and quickly grabbed them. by the time i made contact, they were long gone. so, yes. those batteries are actually industrial type off-grid lead acid batteries (if you check the specs i posted earlier on). they are the type you find at telecoms base stations, bank ups rooms, remote sites for weather monitoring equipment, etc given their size and weight, they are an "install and forget" kind of investment. nobody expects to be changing out such massive size of batteries every two, three or five years. it's really back-breaking work aside the financial outflow. how they suddenly became available to the public as "project left over" is still a puzzle i'm yet to resolve... 1 Like |

earthrealm: We've not factored in waybill as well, you will probably need a truck to move 48v 2000AH and also a large room space while with 3.5m max I can have a 48v 1000AH LFP in my car trunk 5 Likes |

This type of battery connection always confuses me when I see it. Each battery has 6 terminals, how does that work? Do you have a drawing for it? GeorgeD1: 1 Like |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by essegis(m): 5:29pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
ojesymsym: Terminals on the battery relate to the individual cells that make it up. Each comes with their positive & negative terminal which you have to parallel to get the full AH as printed on the battery. Number of cells is determined by the amount of AH on offer. From here you connect in series to make up your desired bank voltage. Remember the batteries are nominal 2v. Quite easy to get around though. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 6:06pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
GeorgeD1: Especially base stations and switch. It's truly "install and forget". Congratulations, you probably won't be buying battery for the next decade or more. |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by adrusa: 8:11pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
ojeysky: One fear I had about this kind of setup is if a few of the batteries developed faults. 1. They are rare batteries, not easy to come by and 2. The cost of replacement. That is one of the advantages of 12v systems in parallel. A bad battery will not immobilize the entire system. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by adrusa: 8:18pm On Sep 12, 2020 |
ojeysky: With my experience with Lead Acid and LFP, I will take 600AH LFP over 2000AH Lead Acid. I don't know the characteristics of this particular battery, but a 2000AH LAB does not give you 2000AH, maybe about 1000AH or a little more if your load is light. 4 Likes |

adrusa: It's c10 lead acid I think it may give close to the spec since one won't be doing up to 0.1C discharge concurrent; a typical household won't be pulling more than 200A @48v consistently. I think the battery gives 3500cycle at 50% so it's not the normal lead acid out there. |

Good day all. I recently got two 220AH Luminous NRGT batteries (Tall Tubular) and my inverter indicates the batteries are full. When measured with voltmeter without load they jointly read 25.6V. But when I put load on the inverter, and put on like 5 led bulbs, the volmeter immediately drops to 24.4V. I'm surprised in the sudden drop in voltage. Is this normal or there is something wrong with the batteries. Inverter is Luminous Hybrid also bought newly |
