  1. Kodak 7.2W to fix or spares. The Kodak have a short on DC battery side. no smoke came out. and cant smell or see anything "burned" Want to sell as is R1500 ono once fixed probably worth R8k+
  2. I have similar Esener 14;.33kWh, it retails for R29k VAT Included and it is really nice with colour touchscreen the works: How i see it/calculate it: It works out to R9963 for an 5kWh battery. No brainer. The Deyness @ R36000 work out to R12371 for an 5kWh battery. So there you are close to buying separate 5kWh batteries. The Esener 16kWh now retails for about R32k
  3. WANTED Looking for Solar panel installer in George If anyone have or used someone that is well priced. Thanks
  4. jlr replied to DiceAir's topic in Solar Power
    is a recent problem (change) or always been like that? Are your neutrals bonded? Are you using an extension lead or plug it direct into the wallplug?
  5. I know there are technical people that maybe will appreciate it, so i am posting a few pics of the inside of the giter battery.
  6. if i get the time i will open them to see thanks.
  7. no havent opened them as yet.
  8. Selling both for R3000, they sometimes give cell over voltage error, so i assume one or two cells in each battery maybe need replacement. They are still working. So buy both and make one good one. for the more technical DIY type of person. Centrurion.
  9. I have two left. R8000 for both or R5k each Centurion
  10. ReVOV Batteries - Your Opinion Please To buy or not to buy Revov R100?
  11. Itis LiFePO4 I have this battery (new) not using or going to use it. Battery Type-Chemistry: LiFePO4 Nominal Voltage: 51.2V Nominal Capacity: 100Ah Case Material: Metal BMS Built-in: Yes Cycle Life(0.2°C, 25°C @ 80% DOD): >4000 Cycles Max Continuous Discharge Current: 100A [b]Reason for sale[/b]: Not using it. [b]Viewing Location[/b]: Centurion, can ship COurier Guy probably +-R300 [b]Price[/b]: R10500 [b]Payment methods:[/b] EFT, Cash, No e-Wallet [b]Other information[/b]: [b]Contact details of owner[/b]: By Private Message [b]Pictures[/b]:
  12. If i understand correctly most rechargeable lithium batteries are part op the Lithium Iron family. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery What is a lithium-ion battery? A lithium-ion battery is a rechargeable battery that uses lithium ions as the primary component of its electrolyte. How long will a lithium-ion battery last? Typically, a lithium-ion battery lasts between 2000 to 5000 charge cycles. Is lithium battery the same as lithium-ion battery? No, lithium battery refers to a family of batteries with lithium as a component, while lithium-ion is a subset within this family. What is a disadvantage of lithium batteries? Some disadvantages include sensitivity to high temperatures, risk of thermal runaway, high cost, and gradual loss of capacity over time. What are the 3 types of lithium batteries? The three types are Lithium-ion (Li-ion), Lithium Polymer (Li-Po), and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4). What are the 3 types of batteries? The three general types of batteries are lithium, nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), and lead-acid. Is a lithium-ion battery rechargeable? Yes, lithium-ion batteries are rechargeable. How do you charge a lithium-ion battery? Charge it before it completely discharges, and avoid exposing it to high temperatures during charging. What is another name for a lithium battery? Depending on the composition, lithium batteries may be referred to as Lithium Cobalt Oxide (LiCoO2) batteries or Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries, among others. Can you overcharge a lithium-ion battery? Modern lithium-ion batteries generally have built-in circuitry to prevent overcharging. However, it’s best to unplug once fully charged to avoid heat buildup.
  13. The pic is on the battery itself so maybe you can tell us? Anyway sorry i was i bit harsh, but we all have our days. I think at some stage LI-ION was used as a broader word to say Lithium family, i do recall when i bought them i spoke to Segen and they confirmed LIFePO4.
  14. yes if you want to use the comms, i have a Kodak 7.2kW and works well, i just want to add some more kWh and the giters are not for sale anymore unfortunately. They will still work with most inverters without comms by setting the voltages manually. They served me well.
  15. oh and btw maybe first get your facts straight, you do not know everything...
  16. Always interesting that people that say "Not by any measure am i trying to discredit your sale.." normally have bad things to say" or try to get other people not to buy the items? Anyway according to the specs from segen.i bought them new from segen, used for 2 years with loadshedding : The Giter G2500-24/G2500-48 is the perfect entry level Li-ion battery for any small-medium residential installation. With an incredible DoD of 95% and a charge/discharge power of 1200W, the Giter Li-ion has great performance. Some more features that can be expected from the Giter range: Modular design, easy to upgrade your bank up to 6 batteries 2.56kWh Safe design ensure optimal safety Easy to intall 0.5C charge/discharge rate (1200W) CAN and RS-485 communication 4000 Cycles Yes it is a cheaper option, i paid R11k each new for them (2.58kWh each), i never stated they are other than what is in specs.

  18. Good TECHNICAL explanation
  19. Not sure what you mean by too low? The Victron starts balancing at 27V, thus normally only on the charge cycle. The HA02 works differently, it will try to balance from a lower voltage true, so not just with the charge cycle. The Victron balances at 1A and the HA02 much less depending on the Voltage difference.
  20. Yes they have a BMS on battery, 100A charge and discharge.
