Please like this, what's the capacity or specs and what can it pwere and for how long after sunset? What size can charge it fully. officialfestus: |

officialfestus: Okay, noted. |

iraybuju: Mail replied. They are the cells from my "Zinox LifePo4" power pack. |

tetralogyfallot:What voltage can I limit the charge controller to? |
officialfestus(m): 9:22am On May 17 |
psucc:duration depends on your power consumption. |

Borgia1:Thats just a marketing term that zinox uses...LiFePO4 stands for Lithium (Li) Iron (Fe) Phosphate (PO4), the chemical composition of what you were trying to refer to and not what is contained in the box. 2 Likes |

After sunset, I only. Power phone, tv of 32", decoder and 6 10w bulbs

Making steady progress in this journey. This is truly awesome. Does it Waka with the 3000w inverter? officialfestus: |
officialfestus(m): 9:01am On May 19 |
psucc:Yes. |

How much could afford that? Also what size can comfortably charge it? officialfestus: |

Quick question, please Are 4 units of the standard used 250w poly Canadian solar s enough to charge a 220ah tubular battery during the day and still carry max load of 200w simultaneously before sunset using a PWM CC? For someone looking to buy a new tubular battery at the range of 250-300k, what’s the best lifepo4 alternative for around the same price even if the price is sightly higher? I look forward to your contributions. Thanks a lot |

Elizkid: Question1 if you connect 240w all in parallel due to pwm standard specification you will get 1000w at stp. But if we want to give actual real life fact your pwm will be over expensive to run. I.e because of pwm you will need to parallel the s thereby getting upto 25-40amps currentt flowing through your wires,so for it not to burn you have to go for 16mm dc cables. If you go for mppt you just series all of them, 6mm cables will be adequate. Question1b. On paper 1000w should be able to charge your 220 ah battery to full in 2.6 hours but practically 3+ hours will surface and the rest can be use to carry the 200w load. N.b the above applies if the solar s are able to generate 1000w because many s fail to give there normal ratings. So can't even generate 50% of its intended capacity. Question 2. The lifepo4 equivalent is 12v 100ah battery. Good ones will cost you more between 280-320k. 1 Like |

Elizkid: 12v 146ah cost just 240k 2 Likes 1 Share |

eghos12: Thanks so much Since I’ll be using a sachet inverter and a pwm, will it be enough to charge the 100ah Lifepo4 with 200w load simultaneously? Also forgive my dumb question, why do people buy tubular batteries when the lifepo4 equivalent is only slightly higher in price? Is there a disadvantage to using lifepo4? I’m asking cause I’ve only used Tubular and Lead since 2020. I don’t know much about these things. Lastly, which is better? Four 250w Canadian-used poly s? Or one 650w Jinko mono ? Again, forgive my dumb questions please. |
Elizkid: 6:22pm On May 21 |
dollarnaira: What? Really? Where can I get buy that? Or I have to build like you guys? |
dollarnaira: 8:01pm On May 21 |
Elizkid:Cells only @Valto |
officialfestus(m): 8:07pm On May 21 |
Most of my orders arrived today, but I'm very happy for this.

officialfestus:running a capacity test right now. |
eghos12(m): 11:13pm On May 21 |
Elizkid: The sachet inveter will be enough. But the pwm will be the major issue for it to charge your battery and carry your load. As I say before for pwm to work your have to buy thick 16mm wires o. Beacsue it's only parallel connection it accepts. There is no disadvantages of lipo4 over tabular. It is all misconception. It's just a new technology which is long lasting and better than tabular. The 250w will give you 1000w and 0ne jinko is 650w if the jinko is direct from fouani which is original you will need two of it to get to 1000w+ |

Elizkid: If you Will be using a pwm cc, the 250w is okay just make sure the cc is the type that's compatible for lithium battery. Buying a mppt for 12v Wil limit you to just 800w of PV. Will the 4 unit of 250w run the 200w load and charge yes. So it's your decision |
obinna37(m): 9:32am On May 23 |
Obnoxious2001:what of if the 250w solar s are 24v,will it work well with pwm charge controller |
Obnoxious2001(m): 11:50am On May 23 |
obinna37:Yes. |
