Inverter Battery FAQs

An inverter converts DC power from batteries into AC power to run household appliances during power cuts. In Kerala, frequent outages make inverters essential for uninterrupted electricity. They help maintain comfort and prevent appliance damage. Choosing the right inverter ensures energy efficiency and longer backup time.

Common inverter batteries include lead-acid (flat plate and tubular) and lithium-ion. Lead-acid batteries are affordable but require maintenance, while lithium-ion batteries are more durable and maintenance-free. Tubular batteries are preferred in humid climates like Kerala due to better performance and lifespan.

Battery life depends on type, usage, and maintenance. Lead-acid batteries usually last 3–5 years, while lithium-ion batteries can last up to 10 years. Proper care, including regular charging and avoiding deep discharge, extends battery life. Kerala’s humid climate requires corrosion-resistant batteries for durability.

Calculate the total wattage of appliances you want to run during power cuts. For most Kerala homes, 900VA to 1500VA inverters are sufficient for basic needs like fans and lights. Larger homes or heavy loads require higher capacity. Always factor in future power needs when selecting inverter size.

It’s recommended to use authorized professionals for installation. Proper installation ensures safety, optimal performance, and maintains product warranty. Our online store offers expert installation services across Kerala for hassle-free setup. DIY installation risks damage and voids warranties.

Lithium-ion batteries offer longer lifespan, faster charging, and are maintenance-free. However, they have a higher upfront cost compared to lead-acid batteries. For humid regions like Kerala, lithium-ion batteries resist corrosion better and provide efficient backup. Choose based on budget and power needs.

Keep the battery clean and dry, especially during Kerala’s monsoon season. Regularly check water levels in lead-acid batteries and top up with distilled water if needed. Avoid deep discharge and recharge promptly after power cuts. Scheduled servicing helps maintain battery efficiency.

Most inverter batteries come with a 1 to 3-year warranty depending on brand and type. Lithium-ion batteries often offer longer warranty periods. Always buy from authorized dealers to ensure valid warranties and prompt service support across Kerala.

Yes, many modern inverters are solar-compatible or hybrid types designed to integrate with solar panels. Solar inverters reduce electricity bills and provide eco-friendly power solutions. Kerala’s rising solar adoption makes solar-compatible inverters an attractive option.

Backup duration depends on battery capacity and load connected. A 150Ah tubular battery can provide 6–8 hours of backup for basic appliances. To maximize backup time, use energy-efficient appliances and match inverter capacity with battery size.
