Thanks for the reply This is the store that is selling them http://li-iontech.co.za/index.php/product/12kwh-lithium-ion-batteries-with-10yrs-warranty-last-year-stock-clearance-sale-50-off/ Anyone know if this store is actually at Moffitt retail park in pe

Has anyone had any experience with the 6kw Li-iron tech batteries from Li-iron tech RSA in moffet Retail park in port Elizabeth. Im looking to buy 2 for my 5kva axpert Inverter Any advice would be welcomed

Where did you buy your batteries. I'm also looking to buy 2 batteries to work with my axpert 5kva and will also need the settings

Sorry. Should have said live and neutral. Yes it the braker on a external DB It is still under warranty and took it back to the supplier this morning. They said they will contact me on Monday. My worry is it could take ages to get new parts if that's the problem. How available are replacement parts? Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

It seems to be just tha ac input. Because the inverter continued to work off the solar and batteries. I would not have known there was a problem if I did not check solarMon and see there was no AC power coming onto the inverter Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Hi guys I've been running my inverter for a few months and yesterday I noticed there was no eskom power into my inverter. I found that the braker had tripped. And would not go back up. There is a dead short between the positive and negative. I disconnected the power into the inver and the short is in the inverter. Has anyone had this problem and is this by any chance a small problem like a fuse. Or do I need to disconnect everything and take the inverter back. Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Ya. From what I've read is the naradas are back up batteries. And not ment for daily cycles. So I've kinda decided of trojans over narada. Is there anything better than the trojans for my price range Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Hi guys. I am going to be buying a new battery bank. 24v. I'm looking to spend around 20k on this bank. I'm looking for batteries that will give me the most bang for buck. I can get 8 trojan t105re for around that price. Does anyone have any other suggestions. My other option is 4 narada 12NDT200. But I can not find what the life span of these would be in daily cycles. Considering I would be cycling them ever day Any suggestions would help. Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Im needing a BMV-700, or 702. Are you still able to get? What is the price?

Its not to clear if its 1600 or 1650. Don't think it will make to much of a difference.

This is from the Data Sheet

Here goes my 2 cents Iv been looking at a 24v bank of the Torjan T105RE. 4 batteries at R9 984.80 My calculations go as follows: 225ah X 24v X 50% x 1750 cycles. = 4725KwH From the bank. Devided by the R9 940.80 Is R2.10/ KwH. But here is the difference, I currently use 2.7KwH from Eskom and 1.4 Kwh direct from the panels. That makes my cost of power R1.38/Kwh. Now I'm working it this way because i have already paid for my setup, and it was never intended to make me money, but more of a hobby. I'm currently paying R1.87/KwH before the increase. By this calculation, I'll be making money, and I;m happy. Anyone see any flaws in my calculations.

it does seem to be a reputable seller on bid or buy. Thanx TTT for the link, I did find that one as well, buy don't seem to see the cycle rates on there. Is there anyone else using these batteries and how they are finding them.

Yes that's the ones I'm looking at. Any ideas on the cycle rates at the different states of discharge. I can find the data sheet, but no luck with the cycle rate.

Hi Guys Hope you can offer some advice. I need to replace my batteries in my solar setup and am looking at these Narada 12NDT200. I have a 24v sustem and would use 4 Batteries, Thus i would have 400ah at 24v. I have a Axpert 3kva inverter with 1200w solar. Has anyone used these batteries in a solar setup and what is your experience with them. The batteries are second hand, and were used as backup in a cell tower. They are selling for R2600 each. Do you think this is worth it? Thank you Charl

TTT that is me neighbours house. I know it's close but it's a small complex I was not expecting them to last long. I was using it as back up during load shedding. And then it stopped soon as my system was up and running. I then added the solar and realised how terrible the batteries actually are. I was planning to use them until they are finished. And then replace them. I'm thinking they will need to go very early next year. This is why I'm calculating mu usage to see what size batteries I should buy Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

I have 100ah 24v batteries. It is just 2 x 100ah fmf102. Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

I see what you mean. I guess my average draw in my house once I'm home in the evening is 350watts. Bellow is a table of what I have been keeping track of my usage since I added kw meters to the input and output of the inverter. So I know I need more batteries and better batteries for my back up. By looking at the table. On average I am 1.9kwh short and most is 2.5kwh per day. So when sizing my new batteries is should add the 1.2kwh from my existing batteries. Any suggestions on what batteries I should get and size to see me through the night Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Could anyone offer some assistance with the battery settings. I have a 24v system and don't know what voltages to set in watchpower. It seems though I have my back to grid voltage to low. Theoretically I should have 1.2kwh of power once the sun goes down. 24v X 100ah X 50% It seems like it cuts over way to quick. Does anyone know what the settings should be for the batteries Thanx Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Well. If you need another person to test the software I am available Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Wow. This is fantastic. I have the axpert 3kva with 1.2kw of solar. I have had to install a kw meter on the input and output of the inverter. To see how much savings I have. The software that comes with the inverter is useless. I know nothing about programming. Would you be making this software available for download or selling it? If so I would definitely be interested. Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

I have the 3kVA plus. And it can take 1500w of solar. Try and get the plus rather Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Thought I would add a photo of the inverter aswell Sent from my C6833 using Tapatalk

Here are some pics of my instalation today. Got the 2 panels up and connected in series. I only completed it at about 3pm. Was generating around 350watts from the 600. I'm intrested to see what they generate tomorrow in peek sun. The panels are facing more north East than true north. So don't think I'll get the best full days power from them

Thanx for all the input. I'll be installing the panels over the weekend. I'll post some pics once it's all up and connected
