Does anyone have any experience with these batteries/inverters?

Afripower is a rugged inverter sir. I have used their 1.7kva inverters for several installations.
Takes load like a champ.

For Eastman, I have no idea.

150w SMS floodlight is still available, #25,000. Call/WhatsApp us on 08168986461

Thank you.

ojeysky:


Hmm.... actually i think oversizing by almost 50% maybe too much(budget wise) so just do 280 X 4 or something like your present one of 300 X 4. You should be fine with the Voc at 2s2p

Thanks for the info.
My aim is to get something that will last for 4 years plus (with 50% DoD during use) within 120-140k budget.

I have gel 200ah

Mileage varies immensely with sealed batteries as they're less tolerant of overcharging.

I've used both on request. Both work wonderfully for streetlights. Under typical home (ab)use, do not expect more than 18 months deep discharge lifespan. They live 24 months and more but you're unlikely to be disappointed if you stick with 18 months

That's good to hear. I'm eyeing that Afripower 24v 1.7kva. The only major load it will carry is a small fridge rated 100w. Going by your review, it should handle it without any issues. I believe the compressor surge power is still within the inverter's capacity.

Even if the fridge is 500w it will handle it perfectly. I have used it on a 350w fridge & freezer.

Morning guys, please I need answers to these questions

1. What can you say about Afripower and Eastman inverters as regards durability and idle power consumption?

2. Also how good are NXT index batteries? (lifespan following at most 50% DOD) Compare it with Quanta batteries.

i get about 30w idle draw from my 0.85kva/12v inverter. its up for sale btw

Great!
Please does it allow you to set/change the voltage at which the low battery alarm will come on or is it fixed/preset?

Okay thanks.

My fangpusun cc 70amsp mppt with separate display is not displaying ok, I set my float at 13.7 and absorb at 14.7, but the battery will be reading 13v or even 12.8v at float and 14v and lower during absorb, if i read the battery directly with a digital multimeter.

Meanwhile the fangpusun display will be reading the preset value. Has anybody experienced this before?.
Juo seems to be the fangpusun guru, abeg chook mouth.

I fear i may be undercharging & possibly hv damaged my battery if it turns out the dmm readings are the correct readings

Good day, so I have a 2.4kw Mercury inverter I would like to sell, I was holding it as a back up after a recent upgrade but I am ready to sell for 45k, slightly negotiable

Watchout this space

For does of you who want a solar set up at a low rate and will want to enjoy it I will recommend these lifepro4 lithium battery for a start, it comes with a
# 200ah 12v bank (rate same ss acid battery 200ah 12v)
# inverter
# lithium charger
# And also be charger with 150w panel
Works with your
# TV
# DC FAN
# LAPTOPS
# DC BULBS
  Very easy to maintain and cheep too

Price please and can it be used with a regular inverter? Or what is the charging protocol if one has an inverter with an adjustable charging algorithm?

I need help, this time from tech guru. I have a clone of MPPSolar MPPT charge controller, PCM60x and I need to get the reading out using my Linux server.
The CC has a serial port. There is a python code that is supposed to work, but I'm not up to the task. Any help is appreciated.

Installation done and dusted. 3 unit of 200Ah 48v felicity lithium battery, 3 unit of 10kva 48v felicity PSW inverter, 3 unit of 60A MPPT charge controller bought from MANUEL SOLAR ENERGY ENTERPRISES. Thanks to Mr shola for the patronage, I’m glad I was part of the project.

God bless you richly sir!

3.5kva 24v felicity inverter now available, #170,000. Call/WhatsApp us on 08168986461

Does the server have a GUI? You may use solpiplog if it does.

Yes, I installed GUI to be able to run the solpiplog in GUI, but the PCM60X is a different thing, isn't it?

Pls I need 200ah 12v lithium battery

I can be used with ur regular inverter

Right, mind was on the MPP PIP hybrids

10kva felicity on a 200AH* LFP is an interesting one, I wonder if the buyer is here and can update on whether this was supposed to be a short or long backup system, will also be good to know how much the 10kva consumes (it's efficiency)

saint2ace:



Price?

lithium bank alone is 45k with out inverter

I need a 12v 0.5kva to 1.2kva hybrid inverter. anybody knows of a reliable one, apart from luminous? or recommend a decent 400w to 1kva 12v inverter with idle consumption below 15w

massive installation, 600ah 48volts on 30kva 48volts inverter, omo..i guess this is a backup system for office computers or something, designed to sustain the system while back up generators come online. or the person wants to run high energy Air conditioning units for a less than an hour,

i dey scratch my head, cos the inverter capacity really dwarfs the battery bank,
care to tell us the application this was deployed for?
