HONDA LAUNCHES POWER SOURCE TO COMPETE WITH MTN LUMOUS
LAGOS, Nigeria – Honda today launched potable battery inverter power source that can compete favourably and surpass the now popular MTN Lumous battery inverter power source based on facts available to the writer.
Honda announced that it will commence Japan-wide sales of its LiB-AID E500 portable battery inverter power source, through Honda Cars retail dealerships from September 1, 2017.
The Honda device which is 500W(VA) comes at a giveaway price of 80, 000 Yen, about $724 and N259, 554. No further payment, whereas the MTN Lumos is DC (solar) Compatible appliances, up to 100W (accumulative) and 12V. Initial payment was N26, 000 now N19, 000 to buy but not outright purchase.
The buyer must pay N46, 720 yearly for five years. “However, a minimum of 20 days of electricity must be paid every month, whether you use the system or not”, MTN said. After 5 years of use and 1800 paid days, the system becomes yours to own and you get Free Electricity! That is after payment of 233, 600 plus initial payment of N26, 000 equals N259, 600.

However, the Honda E500 can supply the same, stable high-quality electricity as that of household power grid, allowing the use with confidence of appliances that are affected by the quality of the power supply, such as personal computers and microprocessor-controlled equipment.
“The E500 not only supplies direct current (DC) electricity as conventional batteries and power sources can, but is also equipped with an inverter that can supply 100V alternating current (AC) electricity, enabling the use of everyday electric equipment”.
