Have you considered the charging time of this funny set up you are proposing?


Yes i have and that was the reason for the external battery charger to reduce the charging time.


Ever read about Michelangelo and the Sistine Chapel?

Who prevented them?
if a state generates power , it goes to the national grid.Its the law.

As if hydro-power is connected to pipeline. Worst government world over. Even Iraq and Syria that have been in war have NEVER achieve Zero generation. Rocket science my foot!!!

Nigeria is a country already planned by our egg head past leaders to fail.We always complain of poor electricity without thinking of how electricity generation works in Nigeria.
This' the only country in the world whereby a state generates electricity and injects it into the national grid which in turn distributes it to various states.

For instance,Rivers State could generate 5000MW of electricity,instead of using it in Rivers State,it'll be injected into the national grid and this very State that produced this power may not get up to 200 MW from the 5000MW.That's the kind of country we live in.

That's why true federalism remains the ultimate because you can't spoon feed a child all his life,when a child fends for himself,you'll see the man in him.

How to build your own Power Supply


This simple 'How To do it yourself article' explains an interesting topic, how to convert your computer UPS into home Inverter.

If you own a desktop computer, you may have a UPS that can power your computer for 10-15 minutes after power failure.

The purpose of the UPS is to save your work and shutdown your computer properly to avoid potential data loss and hardware loss such as Hard disk of your computer.

Most of us always underestimate the potential of the computer UPS that sits beside your computer. The average computer UPS can deliver around 600VA, which is enough to power your low power appliances such as fan, tube light, computer, television, etc.

If you own more powerful UPS such as 1KVA you can power your home appliances more.

So how much can my computer UPS provide? 600VA means the apparent power, but the real power is 60% of specified value. In other words it provides 60% of the VA rating.

For example:

If you have 600VA UPS then 600VA x 0.6 = 360W maximum output.

If you have a 1KVA UPS then 1000VA x 0.6 = 600W maximum output.

If my computer UPS can provide this much power, then why does computer UPS only power 10-15 min?

This is because most of the computer UPS is only powered by 12V 7AH battery which is sitting inside the UPS.

To increase its backup time we need to connect a higher AH battery. The purpose of this article is to make a cost effective home Inverter from a computer UPS.


It works perfectly and I and a few friends have been using this for the past three years and still running...!!!

how much is dis 1kva battery sold n how long does it last tnx

Direct me to the source of the law. Do you know states DO produce some electricity and use in some privileged parts of their states? Just direct me to the source of the law first

I could be wrong tho,but don't you think there would ve been stable electricity in some privileged states if self sufficiency as regards power generation is supported?

Bros no vex, my last sentence says, is only the wise can understand what I mean. If you read my message with understanding, you will know that what I mean is there is no power
