BATTERY PACK FOR MY PAS 12 V / ABOUT MY SOLAR HYBRID BATTERY INVERTER
[4/1, 5:49 PM] Alaba Babalola: Hello my friend, I'm in Nigeria, I have a Century Automatic Voltage Stabilizer model CVR-TUB 1000 VA and a new LG UHD AI UAE73 43 inches / 108 cm TV, as well as hybrid Solar inverter battery - Hithium HeroEE 2. Is it okay, proper or necessary to use the stabilizer with the new TV, even though the electric power is provided by the inverter?
[4/1, 5:49 PM] Alaba Babalola: Good question—this is a very practical setup, especially in Nigeria where power quality can vary.
Your setup
TV: LG UHD AI UAE73 43-inch TV
Stabilizer: Century CVR-TUB 1000VA Automatic Voltage Stabilizer
Power source: Hithium HeroEE 2 Hybrid Solar Inverter Battery
✅ Short answer
You generally do NOT need to use the stabilizer when powering the TV from your inverter.
💡 Why that’s the case
1. Inverter output is already regulated
A good hybrid inverter like your Hithium system typically:
Produces stable voltage (around 220–230V)
Maintains consistent frequency (50Hz)
Often outputs a pure sine wave
That’s already what a stabilizer is meant to fix from unstable grid power.
2. Your LG TV already has internal protection
Modern TVs like your LG UHD model:
Are designed to handle voltage fluctuations
Usually support a wide input range (often ~100–240V)
Include built-in power regulation circuits
So adding a stabilizer on top is usually redundant.
3. Using a stabilizer on inverter power can be unnecessary (or even problematic)
Stabilizers can sometimes distort or delay voltage correction
Some don’t work perfectly with inverter output (especially if not pure sine wave)
It adds extra load and inefficiency
⚠️ When you might still use the stabilizer
Use the Century stabilizer only if:
You are switching back to PHCN / grid power frequently
Your inverter output is not pure sine wave (some cheaper ones are modified sine)
You notice voltage swings or flickering even on inverter (unlikely with your setup)
🔌 Best practice setup
Ideal connection:
Inverter → TV directly ✅
Optional (if you mix power sources):
Grid → Stabilizer → TV
Inverter → TV (bypass stabilizer if possible)
🧠 Simple rule of thumb
Grid power? → Use stabilizer ✔️
Inverter power? → Skip stabilizer ✔️
👍 Final advice
With your Hithium hybrid inverter + modern LG TV, you’re already in a safe and clean power environment. Using the stabilizer is not necessary and doesn’t add meaningful protection.
If you want, I can help you double-check whether your inverter outputs pure sine wave (just tell me the exact model details or settings).
That’s a very sharp observation—and what you’re seeing is actually normal behavior, not a problem 👍
Let’s break it down clearly.
☀️ Why your power station turns on by itself
Your Hithium 2 2000Wh Portable Power Station likely has:
👉 Auto solar charging (MPPT controller)
This means:
As soon as sunlight hits the panel
The system automatically wakes up and starts charging
✔️ Even if you previously turned it “off”
🧠 Now to your real concern
“What if I don’t want it to recharge yet?”
👉 Short answer:
You actually don’t need to stop it.
🔋 Important truth about lithium batteries
Unlike old batteries:
❌ They do NOT suffer from “memory effect”
❌ You do NOT need to wait until they are empty before charging
👉 In fact:
✔️ Partial charging is GOOD for the battery
📊 What happens when it auto-recharges early?
Let’s say:
You stopped using at 40%
Sun comes out → it starts charging
👉 That is actually: ✅ Ideal battery behavior ✅ Reduces stress on the battery
✅ Extends lifespan
⚠️ When should you worry?
Only if:
The battery is constantly sitting at 100% for many days in hot conditions
Or overheating
👉 Otherwise, auto-charging is perfectly fine
🔧 If you REALLY want to stop it (optional)
Only do this if you have a specific reason:
Option 1:
Disconnect the solar panel
Option 2:
Some models allow disabling solar input (check settings/manual)
💡 Best real-world practice (for your case)
With your usage (fan + projector + sound):
👉 This is the ideal cycle:
Use at night
Battery drops to 30–50%
Sun comes → recharges automatically
✔️ This is perfect usage pattern
👍 Final advice
Don’t fight the auto-charging—it’s working in your favor
You’re not harming the battery by charging early
In fact, you’re extending its life
🔚 Simple conclusion
👉 Let it charge whenever the sun is available
👉 Avoid only:
Constant deep discharge (0%)
Excessive heat
If you want, I can also explain: 👉 The best daily charging cycle to make your battery last 5–10 years
👉 Or how to know if your battery is LiFePO₄ or lithium-ion (this affects everything)
Great question—this is the exact concept that determines how long your power station will last over the years.
🔋 What “Depth of Discharge (DoD)” means
Depth of Discharge (DoD) simply means:
👉 How much of your battery you have used before recharging
Example with your Hithium 2 2000Wh Portable Power Station:
If you use 1000Wh out of 2000Wh
👉 That’s 50% DoD
If you use 1600Wh
👉 That’s 80% DoD
If you use all 2000Wh (battery goes to 0%)
👉 That’s 100% DoD
📊 Why DoD matters
The deeper you discharge a battery, the more wear it experiences.
Think of it like this:
Shallow use = gentle on battery ✅
Deep draining = more stress ⚠️
🔢 Safe vs risky discharge levels
🟢 Best range (for long life)
20% – 80% usage
Equivalent DoD: 20% – 60%
👉 Example:
Start at 100%
Recharge at 30%–40%
✔️ This can give you many more years of battery life
🟡 Acceptable (normal everyday use)
Down to 15% – 20%
✔️ Still safe, especially for lithium batteries
✔️ Good balance of runtime + lifespan
🔴 Not ideal (frequent use)
Below 10%
⚠️ Occasional use is fine
❌ But don’t make it a habit
⛔ Worst case (avoid often)
0% (fully drained)
👉 This is 100% DoD
The battery isn’t instantly damaged
But doing this regularly shortens lifespan significantly
🧠 Real-life guidance for YOU
With your setup (~320W load):
After ~5 hours → battery ≈ 20–30% left
👉 That’s actually perfect usage 👍
So instead of running it till it shuts off:
✅ Stop around 20–25%
✅ Recharge
💡 Important truth (many people don’t know this)
Most modern power stations:
Have built-in protection
Won’t allow “true” deep damage
👉 Even at 0%, the system usually keeps a small hidden reserve
BUT:
That doesn’t mean you should rely on it daily
👍 Simple summary
DoD = how much battery you use
Best practice: 👉 Recharge at 20–30% remaining
Avoid: 👉 Frequent 0% drain
🔚 Final reassurance
You’re already using your system in a very healthy way:
Moderate load
Reasonable runtime
👉 Just avoid draining to zero every time, and your battery should serve you well for years.
If you want, I can estimate: 👉 How many years/cycles your battery may last based on your current usage pattern 👍
You’re thinking in the right direction—but let me correct one key fear straight away:
👉 You won’t “overuse” or damage your power station just by running appliances within its limits.
Your Hithium 2 2000Wh Portable Power Station is designed to be used. The real things to watch are:
Total load (watts at a time)
Depth of discharge (how empty you drain it)
Heat and ventilation
🧠 Let’s answer your main concern
✅ Do you need a rechargeable fan?
Honestly: No—you don’t.
Your 26" OX fan:
Is much more powerful than most rechargeable fans
Already gives that strong “church-level” airflow
Works perfectly with your power station
👉 A rechargeable fan would actually:
Give weaker airflow
Add another device to charge/manage
Not significantly improve your setup
⚡ Is your setup safe for the power station?
Let’s recap your load:
Fan (low): ~100W
Projector: ~120W
Sound: ~100W
👉 Total ≈ 320W
🔋 What your power station can handle:
Most 2000Wh units like your Hithium 2 typically support:
1000W – 2000W output (or more)
👉 So your load (320W) is: ✔️ Very safe ✔️ Nowhere near the limit
😌 About your fear of “overusing” it
Let’s be real:
❌ What DOESN’T damage it:
Running appliances for several hours
Using up the battery daily
Powering fan + projector + sound
⚠️ What CAN reduce lifespan over time:
Draining to 0% every time
Constant overheating
Using near max load for long periods (you are NOT doing this)
🟢 Best Practice (this is the sweet spot)
To keep your battery healthy for years:
✅ Try to stop usage around 20–30% remaining
✅ Recharge before it hits 0%
✅ Keep it in a well-ventilated area
✅ Avoid constant full-load usage (you’re far below that 👍)
💡 Smart perspective
Think of your power station like a fuel tank:
2000Wh = your fuel
You are using it at a very comfortable rate
Nothing you described is “stressful” to the system
👍 Final honest advice
👉 Your current setup is already well-balanced and efficient
✔️ Keep using your OX fan + power station
✔️ No need to buy a rechargeable fan
✔️ Your load is safe and reasonable
🔚 Simple conclusion
You are not overloading anything
You are using the system correctly
Your setup should comfortably give you ~5 hours of cooling + entertainment
If you want next, I can help you: 👉 Optimize your setup to push it to 6–7 hours runtime
👉 Or calculate how many batteries you’d need for all-night use
Great—this is exactly the kind of practical calculation that helps you avoid surprises 👍
Let’s break it down step by step using your 26" OX fan and your Hithium 2 2000Wh Portable Power Station.
🔋 Your Battery Capacity
Capacity = 2000Wh (2 kWh)
Real usable power (after inverter losses):
👉 ~85% usable ≈ 1700Wh
⚡ Your Equipment Consumption
1️⃣ Your OX 26" Fan
Low speed: ~100W
Medium: ~150W
High: ~220W
2️⃣ Projector (typical range)
Small LED projector: 80W – 150W
Brighter models: 150W – 250W
👉 Let’s assume: ~120W (average realistic use)
3️⃣ Stereo sound system
Small/medium setup: 50W – 150W
Large system: 200W+
👉 Let’s assume: ~100W
🔢 Total Load Estimate
✅ On LOW fan speed:
Fan = 100W
Projector = 120W
Sound = 100W
👉 Total ≈ 320W
⏱️ Runtime Calculation
Formula:
👉 Using usable capacity (1700Wh):
🧾 Final Answer (Realistic Use)
🟢 On LOW speed
👉 ≈ 5 to 5.5 hours
🟡 On MEDIUM speed
Load ≈ 370W
👉 ≈ 4.5 hours
🔴 On HIGH speed
Load ≈ 440W
👉 ≈ 3.8 – 4 hours
⚠️ Important Real-Life Factors
These can reduce runtime slightly:
Projector brightness mode (higher = more watts)
Sound system volume (bass consumes more power)
Battery age / efficiency
Inverter losses
👉 So in real life, expect:
4.5 – 5 hours (safe estimate on low speed)
🧠 Smart Tips to Extend Runtime
✅ Use fan on low or medium
✅ Reduce projector brightness
✅ Avoid max volume on sound system
✅ Turn off devices when not in use
👍 Simple Summary
Your setup will last about:
👉 ~5 hours (low fan speed)
Heavy use (high speed):
👉 ~4 hours or less
If you want, tell me:
Your exact projector model
Your sound system type
…and I’ll give you a more precise runtime (down to the hour) 👌
Great question—this is something many people with solar + hybrid inverters wonder about.
🔋 What happens when your battery reaches 100%?
When your hybrid inverter shows 100% battery, it simply means the battery is fully charged. At that point:
The system stops sending more energy into the battery
The inverter will limit or shut down solar charging automatically
Any extra solar energy is either:
Not harvested (curtailed), or
Diverted elsewhere (depending on your setup)
So no, the battery does not keep storing beyond 100%—it’s designed to prevent overcharging.
⚠️ Can it be harmful?
In a properly installed system: No, it’s not harmful.
Modern hybrid inverters and batteries have:
Battery Management Systems (BMS)
Charge controllers
These protect against:
Overcharging
Overheating
Battery damage
So you don’t need to worry about “excess electricity” damaging your battery.
⚡ What happens to extra solar energy?
If you’re not using power and your battery is full:
The solar panels simply reduce output (this is normal)
Some systems may:
Send power back to the grid (if grid-tied and allowed)
Or just waste/curtail the excess energy
💡 Optional: What you can do with excess energy
If you want to make better use of it, you could:
Run high-energy appliances during the day (washing machine, pumping water, etc.)
Add a dump load (like a water heater)
Upgrade to a system that supports grid export (if available in your area)
Expand battery storage (if you often hit 100% early in the day)
✅ Bottom line
Your system is working normally
You don’t need to “use up” power to protect it
No harm will occur from the battery sitting at 100%
If you want, tell me the brand/model of your inverter, and I can explain exactly how your specific system handles excess solar.
Here is a clear comparison of the three power stations you are considering:

🔌 Additional Tips Before Purchase
⚡ Solar Panels
To use it with solar, you’ll also need solar panels with proper connectors (e.g., Jackery SolarSaga).
Panels are often sold separately — consider adding at least 1× 200 W panel to recharge faster in sunlight.
⚠ Pure Sine Wave
Make sure the station provides pure sine wave AC output, which is safer for sensitive devices like music equipment and phone chargers.
📦 Buying Locally
Local power stations on Jumia may be cheaper but often lack brand support or solar accessory compatibility — so Jackery remains a premium and more reliable choice.
🟡 Recommendation
For your goals — powering:
Fridge
PA system & amplifier
Fans, phones
Any household equipment (one at a time)
— the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 (~1070 Wh, ~1500 W AC output, solar-ready) is a great long-term investment and the best quality pickup you can get even if shipped from abroad. �

If you want, I can also show specific solar panel options that pair well with the Explorer 1000 V2 for home use — just let me know your budget for the solar setup!
Absolutely — a 1000 Wh (or higher) solar-compatible power station with a good inverter is exactly what you should be looking at for your needs: powering your fridge, music engine/amplifier, PA system, phones, fans, lights, etc., one at a time or even simultaneously (depending on load). A well-built unit will also charge from solar panels and from *grid/public power, giving you flexibility for home backup, outdoor use, or emergencies.
Here are good options you can consider — especially ones you can find from Nigerian retailers or order online:

⚡ What You Can Power with a 1000 Wh Solar Station
Below are typical devices and rough runtime estimates (actual run time depends on exact power draw and usage):
Device
Power Draw (Est.)
Expected Runtime from ~1000 Wh
Small Fridge (50–90 W)
~80 W
~10–12+ hrs running (depending on compressor cycle)
Fans (20–40 W)
~30 W
~25–30+ hrs
PA System (~80–100 W)
~90 W
~9–11 hrs
Music Amplifier (~50–200 W)
~100 W avg
~9–10 hrs (varies with volume)
Phones / Laptops
5–60 W
Many charges, many hours
TV (60 W)
~60 W
~12–15 hrs
💡 These are ballpark estimates — real runtime will vary based on conditions, device efficiency, and total loads used together.
🔌 Solar Compatibility
The Jackery Explorer 1000 models and most good power stations support:
✅ MPPT solar charge controller built-in
✅ Charging from solar panel inputs (panels sold separately)
✅ Charging from AC wall plug
✅ Car charging input
This means you can: ✔ Keep the station topped up from solar panels during the day
✔ Use public/grid power to recharge when needed
✔ Use it as a solar + battery + inverter backup setup — ideal for household use in places with inconsistent grid power. �

📌 Tips Before You Buy
✔ Pure sine wave inverter — ensures sensitive electronics (TV, laptops, music gear) run safely.
✔ AC output rating ≥ device power — e.g., if your fridge draws 200 W, the station should handle at least that continuously.
✔ Surge capacity — especially relevant for fridge compressors and some amplifiers.
✔ Solar panel wattage — ideally 200 W+ panels to recharge more quickly.
✔ Battery type — LiFePO4 lasts longer than basic Li-ion.
🛒 Final Recommendations
🔹 Best all-around choice: Jackery Explorer 1000 — excellent balance of capacity, reliability, and solar support.
🔹 Best performance upgrade: Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 — stronger inverter and longer battery life.
🔹 Local alternatives: On-Energy or Jordyele 1000 Wh units — good if Jackery models are hard to source locally.
If you want, share your budget range, and I can tailor a list of specific units with price ranges and runtime estimates you can realistically find and buy in Nigeria.
Thank you for this. Now I know exactly what I need. I need a power station that has the capacity to power any household equipment conveniently even if I have to use them separately one at a time. I am talking about Fridge, Music engine, PA, Phone, fans etc, and which is Solar compatible with inverter and can also be charged with public power supply. Perhaps a 1000 wh version of Jackery Explorer that you suggested can do the trick. What do you think?
