There are 3 types of inverter batteries<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] A tubular battery is a lead-acid battery that is generally big in size when compared to a flat plate battery. These best inverter batteries are suited for areas with long and fewer power cuts.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Tubular batteries are best fitted for long power backup requirements and have a longer service life. These batteries require minimum effort to maintain and need fewer water top-ups. They are more reliable and usually come with a longer warranty period compared to a flat plate battery. A tubular battery is more expensive and takes more space to store than a flat plate battery.<\/span><\/p>\n Tubular batteries come in various container sizes, and it should be selected based on the space available in the house to store the inverter battery. \u00a0Also, the tubular battery price is affordable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Tall tubular inverter battery is larger in height than a short tubular battery and a flat plate battery but lesser in width. A tall tubular battery always provides a slightly longer backup time and is preferred for homes where storage space is not a constraint.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Gel batteries give a more consistent power backup over a longer period than a normal lead-acid battery as it has a special crisscross structure of gel inside them that holds the acid and prevents it from settling down. They also offer more power backup per cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The biggest advantage of a gel battery is that it is environment friendly and emits minimal harmful gas into the atmosphere making your home\/office a healthier place. It is also sealed due to which there is zero risk of acid spillage. This best inverter battery is also easy to install and maintenance-free. <\/span><\/p>\n No water top-up is required during the entire lifecycle of these batteries. The cost of battery for inverter is decreasing day by day, and hence the importance is increasing rapidly. Lastly, these inverter batteries provided consistent power backup throughout its life, unlike normal lead-acid batteries, where power backup reduces after a certain no. of years.<\/span><\/p>\n Recommended: Tubular Battery<\/p><\/blockquote>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n A battery is a critical part of an inverter. An inverter’s output and life largely depend on its battery.<\/span><\/p>\n The first thing you should understand before buying an inverter battery for home or office is your power requirement. There are two important factors determine your power backup requirement, based on which you should decide what capacity of the battery is suitable for your need.<\/span><\/p>\n Accordingly, you can decide the ampere-hour (Ah) rating of the inverter battery for your purchase. Please note that the inverter battery’s capacity varies with the above 2 factors, the load and the duration of power backup. The more is the load and more is the duration of power backup, higher will be the battery capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n You can find inverter batteries with various capacities in the market ranging from 80 Ah to 230 Ah.<\/span><\/p>\n So how do you decide which one is best suited for your requirement?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Based on the factors mentioned above, you can choose a battery with capacity that is perfect for your requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n Please note that the inverter Battery Voltage rating is 12 V for almost all inverter batteries available in the market. As the load increases, the inverter wattage increases accordingly. Higher inverter capacity runs at a higher voltage in multiple of 12V, i.e. 24 V, 36 V, etc. A 24 V inverter requires 2 batteries of 12 V each.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The main points that need to be considered while buying a battery are\u00a0<\/span>capacity<\/b>,\u00a0<\/span>warranty, technology, and size.\u00a0<\/b>When buying a new inverter battery, we suggest you to purchase a battery with the highest Ah rating and warranty possible. Physical size and technology must also be taken into consideration.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Please ensure that you purchase the best inverter battery best suited for your requirement, from a renowned brand\u00a0 to ensure good product quality and service.<\/span><\/p>\n Apart from the above parameters, the freshness of a new inverter battery is also very important. The performance of a battery deteriorates if it does not go through a regular charge\/discharge process.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The formula to calculate the capacity of an inverter battery is simple formula and here it is:<\/span><\/p>\n Battery Capacity = Total Load In Watts X Usage time (in hours) \/ Input voltage<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Total Load (in watts):<\/span><\/p>\n This is the total load your inverter battery will be able to carry. The more capacity your battery has, the more load it will be able to carry for long hours.<\/span><\/p>\n So, it comes down to the number of appliances you want to power with your inverter.<\/span><\/p>\n As an example, let\u2019s assume you want to power, 5 lights of 20 watts,1 no 100 watts TV,1computer with 200watts and 2 fans of 80 watts each. Total load in this case will be:<\/span><\/p>\n 5*20+1*100+1*200+2*80 = 560 Watts<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Hence, the load on inverter will be of 560 watts.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n This simply means, how long do you want the battery to last when there is a power shutdown. You can estimate this by calculating the average time of power cut your area gets.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, usually if power cuts in your area are 2 hours long, that means that you would usually need a power backup of 2 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n This simply means the voltage of the battery. In India, almost all the inverter batteries have 12V of the input voltage. However, some inverters have 24V of input voltage too.<\/span><\/p>\n The Calculation:<\/span><\/p>\n 560 X 2\/12 = 93.3 Ah<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n Therefore, in this case a battery of near 100AH capacity should serve good.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The capacity of your battery and the load you put on it will determine how long your battery will last after every charge.<\/span><\/p>\n For example, if your battery is 100AH and you put 100A of load on it, it would last for around 1 hour. If you put 10A of load, it would last for 10 <\/span>hours.<\/span><\/p>\n Example:<\/strong><\/p>\n So, let\u2019s take an example to understand it better.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s assume, you have 2 lights of 40 watt each and 2 fans of 75 watts each and you have an inverter with a 150AH of capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n Load of appliances:<\/b><\/p>\n Total Load = 60 + 240 = 300 watts<\/span><\/p>\n Input Voltage = 12V<\/span><\/p>\n Load on inverter battery = 300\/12 = 25 Amp<\/span><\/p>\n Inverter Battery Capacity = 100 AH<\/span><\/p>\n Estimated hours = 100\/25 = 4 Hours<\/span><\/p>\n Approximate 80% of the time will be the back up time ie.3.2hrs.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Quick tips for maintenance and handling<\/b><\/p>\n Whenever you check your inverter battery, follow these 3 steps to ensure good health of the battery. Checking these aspects should take just 10-15 minutes of your time.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The battery terminals should always be clean. If you find something fishy with the battery terminals, you might need to contact the support team of the company.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The battery surface gets dirt from time to time. Make sure you clean it with a soft cotton cloth. Keep it as clean as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The water level of the battery should not go below the minimum limit. My recommendation would be to check every 30-40 days and ensure that the water level is above the minimum limit.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Here are some tips that you should keep in mind to ensure better battery life:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n My inverter battery doesn\u2019t last long anymore<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n This is a popular complaint from users of power backup systems.<\/span><\/p>\n The inverter is an electronic device that converts Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC). <\/span>The battery is the live-wire of an inverter. <\/span>The lifespan of a battery depends mainly on its usage and maintenance. <\/span>All batteries require some form of maintenance to maintain their lifespan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n To enjoy your inverter, your batteries must be well taken care of. But most people don\u2019t know how to go about doing that. <\/span>Below are useful tips\u00a0on how to take care of your batteries:<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text]<\/p>\n The working performance, lifespan, voltage and chemical reactions of a battery can be affected by temperature \u2014 hot or cold. The effect of temperature on a battery is dependent on the technology and design of the battery.<\/span><\/p>\n The general optimal operating temperature of some batteries, e.g Lead-acid batteries is about 25\u00b0C (77\u00b0F). Therefore, your battery will discharge at a normal rate when stored at this temperature. The hotter a battery, the faster chemical reactions will occur. <\/span><\/p>\n Although the high temperatures sometimes cause increased performance of the batteries, they will result in faster discharge and a corresponding loss of battery life. At temperatures below the normal operating normal temperature, 25\u00b0C (77\u00b0F), batteries have a decreased capacity and longer life.<\/span><\/p>\n According to\u00a0<\/span>\n
