Frequently Asked Questions?

Inverters and UPS systems both provide power from batteries in the absence of AC power. A UPS typically includes the battery and battery charger in one standalone unit. Batteries for an inverter are generally user-supplied.

Depending on the inverter, it will respond to a power outage in 4.2 to 16.7 milliseconds. A UPS responds in a fraction of that time, making the UPS a better choice for applications that must remain powered, such as computer networking equipment.

Inverter is a device which is used for converting the DC electricity from batteries to AC electricity. This is because most of the household appliances along with other electrical equipment and fixtures purely depend on AC electricity.

Yes, it is generally safe to use a sine wave inverter. A sine wave inverter is designed to convert direct current (DC) power from a battery or other DC source into alternating current (AC) power that resembles the smooth and continuous sine wave pattern of utility power.

This type of inverter is commonly used to power electronic devices, appliances, and other sensitive equipment. Modern sine wave inverters often include built-in protection mechanisms to safeguard against various issues. These may include overload protection, short-circuit protection, over-temperature protection, and low-voltage shutdown. These safety features help prevent damage to the inverter and connected devices.

Proper installation is essential for the safe and efficient operation of your home inverter. Follow these guidelines:

  • Choose a suitable location: Install the inverter in a cool, dry, and wellventilated area, away from direct sunlight and water sources.
  • Ensure easy accessibility: Place the inverter in an area that allows easy access for maintenance and repairs.
  • Use a dedicated electrical circuit: Connect the inverter to a dedicated electrical circuit to prevent overloading and ensure stable power supply.
  • Follow manufacturer instructions: Adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines for installation, wiring, and grounding to ensure the safe and efficient operation of your inverter.
  • Hire a professional: Engage a qualified technician to install your home inverter to ensure proper installation and adherence to safety standards.

The capacity of the inverter determines the number of appliances it can power. If you select an inverter with sufficient capacity, it can potentially power your entire house. However, it is more common to use home inverters to power essential appliances during power outages.

Yes, you can use solar panels with your home inverter to harness renewable energy and reduce your dependence on grid power. You will need a solar-Charge Controller to connect your solar panels to the system. This type of inverter setup can efficiently manage power input from both the solar panels and the grid to charge the battery, ensuring optimal use of solar energy.

The backup time provided by a home inverter depends on the battery capacity and the power consumption of the connected appliances. Larger batteries can provide longer backup times, while using fewer or lower-wattage appliances will extend the backup duration.

Batteries have a limited lifespan and will eventually need replacement. Some signs thatit’s time to replace your inverter battery include reduced backup time, frequent low battery warnings, and swelling or leakage.

To avoid drastically shortening of the life span on your lead-acid batteries, In normal use, you should ideally hold over 70-75 percent of the battery capacity. Gel and AGM batteries are more durable.

Maintenance-free lead acid batteries are sealed lead acid batteries which do not require liquid replenishment and maintenance. These batteries are designed so that the gas and electrolyte cannot leak and their automatic regulation solution system keeps the electrolyte in the battery at the correct level.

The ideal ambient temperature for batteries is in the range of 20-25 degrees Celsius. Within this temperature range, the battery has the highest electrochemical reaction rate and the best battery performance. Therefore, special attention needs to be paid to the conditions of use and storage of batteries in hot or cold weather

In a word, “don’t."

Many of our customers who currently have a battery bank later desire to expand their capacity or in some cases replace batteries that have failed for one reason or another.

Mixing different batteries is never a good idea. First, mixing batteries which are different in type, size, brand or voltage will not even work. Worse still, it can lead to battery bank failure.

The easiest and best way to reduce charging time is by ensuring that rise in battery temperature is controlled and in fact reduced by appropriate cooling. The charge current can then be increased with a continuous monitoring mechanism in place to note the temperature throughout the period of charging.

The amount of water to be added to a flooded lead acid battery depends on the qty of water component of electrolyte which has evaporated from a particular cell.

In cases where batteries are overcharged and heated with a resultant loss of electrolyte the water needs to be added to ensure that electrolyte concentration is within the desired range and is back to original level.

Under no circumstances should water be added to such an extent that it overflows from the vent hole of the vent plug out of the cell. Excessive filling of this nature reduces the concentration of electrolyte in those cells where such over filling has been done.

Lead acid batteries contain electrolyte which is sulphuric acid. This is corrosive in nature.

This corrosive acid sometimes leaches out between the cover and terminal insert through its gap. The gap is mostly due to a possible moulding defect at the time of manufacture of the plastic cover.

The cable connected to the battery is of copper and sometimes the copper of the cable is exposed. This copper reacts with sulphuric acid to form copper sulphate and is seen as a layer of corrosion at the terminals.

The terminals used to connect the copper cables to the battery are usually of brass and this gets damaged due to sulphuric acid damaging the brass and is visible as corrosion.

Loose contact at the terminal connection leads to sparking and heating. This in turn leads to melting of lead terminals and reduction of size of lead terminal and more loose contact. Finally, there is corrosion due to this physical deformation.

The reason for drying of water in a battery connected to inverter may be any one or a combination of the following reasons:

  • Battery is at end of life. Battery needs to be replaced.
  • The charger is faulty and delivering a higher current than required. The charger current needs to be adjusted to a lower value by repairs or replacement of charger part of the inverter.
  • The battery is not matched to inverter's charger. You may have been given a smaller capacity battery keeping only voltage as required. Check the recommended battery capacity which has to be connected to the inverter.
  • The battery may have been topped up using acid instead of water at some point of time due to which it is heavily sulfated. If acid has been added there is a possibility that specific gravity is high and the plates are not able to release sulphate when charged resulting in temperature going up. Contact battery manufacturer and try to get the needful done.
  • You may have kept the battery near a source of heat like near a generator engine or steam generator or near some furnace. Move battery and inverter to a cooler place.
  • The battery and inverter may be in a place having poor ventilation. Arrange to provide better ventilation.

I presume that you are asking for tricks to enhance the life of a lead acid inverter battery and shall offer a few guaranteed tips to you.

  1. Ensure that the level of electrolyte is maintained uniformly in all cells by regular and periodic topping up using distilled or demineralised battery grade water.
  2. Never top up with acid.
  3. Apply petroleum jelly to avoid corrosion at the terminals after cleaning the battery terminals. This helps avoid sulphate build up at the contact points and ensures that there is no voltage drop to the load.
  4. Ensure periodic check up of inverter or UPS to verify that the charger is functioning in a manner suitable for proper upkeep of the battery and is neither overcharging or under charging of the battery.
  5. Keep the battery in a cool place away from sources of heat like furnaces or boilers. You may shield the battery from dusty and dirty environment & do not expose it to direct sunlight if possible.
  6. Ensure that the vent holes of the vent plugs are clean enough to allow hydrogen gas to escape as and when the battery has to vent out these gases. If possible remove vent plugs and clean it as and when required in normal water.
  7. Check the output wires for tightness of connection since loose contacts can cause sparking in addition to voltage drops during discharge and consequent inefficient operation of inverter.

All these are not very difficult to carry out and only water topping up may need to be done once in a month or once in 3 months depending on usage. The other maintenance activities are need based and may be required to be done once a year.

Series connection

A series connection is used to increase voltage, while keeping capacity at the same level. Two serially connected 12 V/120 Ah batteries make a combined battery set of 24 V/120 Ah. In a series connection, the positive pole of one battery is connected to the negative pole of the other, with the poles that remain at the ends being connected to the system. Batteries with different capacities should never be linked in series.

Parallel connection

Parallel connection is used when you need to increase your capacity. The positive leads are connected together, as are the negative leads. The cabling from the battery to the system should be: Positive from battery 1 and negative from battery 2 (or the last in the parallel connection).

Series/parallel connection

If you need a 24 V battery set with a higher capacity, you can combine series and parallel connections. The cables from the battery to the system must be crossed: Positive from battery 1 and negative from battery 2 (or the last in the parallel connection)

An inverter simply inverts power from Alternating Current (AC) to Direct Current (DC) or DC to AC power. A solar inverter inverts DC power generated from the solar panel to AC power and helps move the power to your home or the electric grid.

As main function of the inverter is to convert the DC Power into AC, while charger’s main function is to charge battery bank from PV Power.

Solar Inverters are categorized in Different segments, such as Grid tied inverter, Off Grid Inverters and Hybrid Inverters.

Where Grid tied, inverters are used to generate the Solar power and feed to grid for the purpose of reduction in energy consumption, while Off Grid inverters are used to become self-sufficient for energy requirements where either grid power is not available or if power cuts are huge.

At the end, Hybrid inverters are most advanced inverters which combines the features of grid tied inverters as well as off grid inverter, so it allows you to power all your devices using Solar energy and then charge the batteries to be used during night, further also allows you to feed the grid with excess energy when devices are power off and battery is also fully charged.

It depends on the grid availability, usage and at your budget to decide which type of inverters you should select, however in a Broadway it can be considered that if 24 hours grid power is available at a reasonable cost and if the purpose is to reduce the energy bills by adding solar power, then grid tied inverters are most ideal.

On the other hand, off grid inverters are ideal in remote areas where either grid is not available or the cost to connect the grid is very high or if power cuts are huge in your area, then you need to be self sufficient by storing energy in batteries to be used later.

Further, hybrid inverters are useful when the user wants to get the benefit of on grid and off grid system both at same time and can pay higher than the off-grid installation cost.

Usually, grid inverters are made to feed the excess energy to the grid and hybrid inverters are most suitable to charge batteries with grid connection.

Although you need to keep your inverter power on all the time, grid inverters are in the ideal position during night. While off grid and hybrid inverter operated battery during the night as per the power requirements.

To select the right size of the inverter, our authorized installer will calculate your total load and as per the budget you can select the right inverter, however size of inverter should match the size of your solar panels to ensure the maximum energy generation.

Solar inverters are generally safe when installed, operated, and maintained properly. They are designed and tested to comply with safety standards, which include protections against electrical and fire hazards.

Solar inverters convert DC power from solar panels into AC power suitable for home use. This conversion process involves high voltages, and inverters have built-in safety features such as grounding, isolation, and protective circuits to manage these voltages safely.

Solar inverters have features to connect with web portal and mobile applications using Wi fi / GPRS, so it’s possible to keep your eyes on energy generation any time.

Check the LED lights and make sure there is no red or flashing lights. Look at the screen of the inverter and see if there are any error codes showing. Most inverters will have a default display showing numbers that vary up and down ranging from a few hundred up to a few thousand.

Or else you can test and troubleshoot your inverter is to check the input and output voltage using a multi meter. The input voltage should match the rated voltage of your inverter, which is usually 12V, 24V, or 48V for DC input.

It depends on several factors such as the capacity of the battery bank, the amount of sunlight available to recharge the batteries, and the amount of power being used by appliances and equipment.

Depending on the system design, usually it’s possible to add more solar panels to your solar system or to add a parallel inverter to the existing system.

MPPT controllers offer higher efficiency, faster charging times, and increased energy harvest, making them suitable for larger solar systems. PWM controllers provide a cost-effective and reliable solution for smaller systems.

Solar inverters do not require much maintenance, you just need to check the cable connections are proper and not loosen, and to check display if power generation is same as the system power and there is not any alarm or error in system. Apart from it, keeping the system clean and secure is a basic need.

Solar electricity refers to the generation of electricity using solar photovoltaic (PV) technology. Solar PV panels capture renewable energy from the sun and convert it into electricity.

A solar PV system comprises cells containing a material that converts solar radiation into direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity can power lighting and electrical equipment in homes.

The number of solar panels required depends on factors such as energy usage, household size, and property size. Generally, smaller homes may need a 1kW system with at least 8 square meters of roof space, while larger systems like a 4kW one may need over 25 square meters.

Solar energy is renewable and does not produce greenhouse gases, making it environmentally friendly. By utilizing renewable energy sources, individuals can reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a cleaner environment.

A solar battery stores excess energy generated by solar panels for later use, particularly during times when solar panels are not producing energy, such as at night.

Solar energy offers reduced electricity bills, lower carbon emissions, no running costs post-installation, low maintenance, and the potential to charge electric vehicles for free.

Integrating solar energy with electric vehicle charging can significantly reduce fuel costs and environmental impact, requiring a larger solar PV system.

Solar panels can generate electricity even on cloudy days, as they rely on solar radiation rather than direct sunlight.

Solar PV generates electricity, while solar thermal systems provide domestic hot water.

Solar panel maintenance is minimal, typically requiring periodic checks outlined by installers.

Bifacial solar panels generate energy from both sides, enhancing energy production compared to conventional panels.

The decreasing costs of solar panels make them a popular and beneficial investment, offering lower energy bills, reduced emissions, and potentially increasing property value.

A VRLA stands for valve-regulated lead acid batteries. They may also be referred to as sealed lead acid or SLA batteries. The two primary types of VRLA batteries are absorbent glass mat or AGM batteries and gel cell batteries or gel batteries.

Freshening charge implies charging batteries during or after storage, when the voltage or specific gravity falls below a given level. Equalizing charge is given to restore batteries that have been discharged or to restore voltages to batteries whose voltage has fallen outside of the recommended range.

Potentially, some of the cells could “reverse.” The active material on the plated could be stressed and sloughed. This over-discharge can reduce the life expectancy of the cell. If over-discharged at a very low rate, the cell could become hydrated resulting in “through separator" shorts.

Yes, two 12 volt batteries can be connected in a series to create a 24 volt battery.

Overcharging a lead acid battery leads to excess charge voltage and current flow into the battery upon reaching full charge. This leads to premature aging of the battery due to decomposition of the water in the electrolyte. At high rates of overcharge a battery will progressively heat up. As it gets hotter it will accept more current, heating up even further. This can lead to thermal runaway, where the battery heats up and can be destroyed in just a few hours.

A VRLA battery is a “recombinant” battery. This means that the oxygen normally produced on the positive plates of all lead-acid batteries is absorbed by the negative plate. This suppresses the production of hydrogen at the negative plate. Water (H2O) is produced instead, retaining the moisture within the battery.

Sealed lead acid battery life is determined by many factors. These include temperature, depth and rate of discharge, and the number of charges and discharges(called cycles).

A float application requires the battery to be on constant charge with an occasional discharge. Cycle applications charge and discharge the battery on a regular basis.

Our car battery operates by harnessing the chemical energy within its lead-acid composition. It consists of metal plates immersed in sulfuric acid, contained within a plastic casing. When we turn the ignition, this chemical energy is converted into electrical energy, powering our car to life.

Some batteries require occasional maintenance by topping up with distilled water to ensure the electrolyte solution remains properly balanced. However, the majority of newer car batteries are now labeled as maintenance-free. In these cases, there's typically no need for us to top them up, as their design is sealed to prevent electrolyte loss.

Yes, most modern batteries fall under the category of maintenance-free. However, it's important not to entirely overlook their care. We should still ensure that the battery's connections are free of corrosion, the cables are in good condition, and the battery is securely positioned in its housing.

We can determine the age of our battery by checking the label usually found on the side of the casing. The label typically contains an alphabet from A to V, representing each month of the year, followed by a digit indicating the year of manufacture.

It's not advisable to leave our battery unused for long periods, as they will gradually discharge over time. If left discharged for too long, permanent damage can occur. The rate of discharge depends on factors like battery type and storage temperature.

The time needed to recharge a battery varies depending on its condition. Generally, a deeply depleted battery may take up to 12 hours to recharge fully, depending on the charger's strength.

No, a standard car battery doesn't contain sufficient voltage to initiate the recharging process for a depleted battery.

While driving, the alternator replenishes the battery's charge, but the extent of this recharge depends on factors such as battery condition, temperature, driving duration, and alternator output.

Yes, overcharging a battery can lead to overheating and subsequent damage. This overheating can escalate, causing a phenomenon known as thermal runaway, which can destroy the battery and potentially lead to an explosion.

Yes, car battery explosions can occur due to factors like thermal runaway, especially in older lead-acid batteries. Additionally, age-related issues such as loss of water and warping of lead plates can increase the risk of explosion upon ignition.

On average, a conventional lead-acid car battery lasts around four to five years. However, various factors like climate, usage patterns, and maintenance practices can influence its lifespan.

During extended periods of storage, it's advisable to disconnect the battery or connect it to a battery maintainer. Regular charging or using a battery tender can help prolong the battery's life and prevent issues arising from prolonged disuse.

A car battery warranty provides coverage against material and workmanship defects for a specified period, starting from the original purchase date. It ensures replacement in case of qualifying issues during the warranty period.

We must always recycle old car batteries due to their toxic components like acid and lead. Instead of throwing them in regular recycling or trash bins, most battery centers accept old batteries for proper recycling.

Lead-acid batteries are entirely recyclable, including components like lead, plastic, and electrolyte. Recycling these batteries helps minimize environmental impact and ensures responsible disposal of hazardous materials.
