Inverter Battery
Inverter battery is also known as UPS battery. It is a lead acid rechargeable battery used with home Inverter & UPS. The main component of an inverter battery is the lead inside it. Higher lead ensures better performance and quality. Lead acid inverter batteries usually require water top-up once in 3-6 months. The power factor is usually measured in Ampere Hour(Ah). The following factors are to be considered before buying any inverter battery.
-
How much backup time do you need? It depends on the Ah of the battery. More Ah means more backup time. Eg. - A battery of 150 ah provides a backup time of 3 - 4 hrs. at full load.
-
Depending on the internal structure, you can choose between a Flat Plate inverter Battery and a Tubular Inverter Battery. Most people don't know that a Tubular inverter battery has a better lifespan while a Flat Plate inverter battery provides better backup.
-
The warranty of the inverter battery is a crucial factor. Remember to read the warranty details carefully as there are two terms related to it - Replacement Guarantee and Pro-rata Warranty. Battery with 36 months(18+18 months) means that the first 18 months are for free replacement and the rest 18 months are for providing a new battery at a discounted price.
