Technical FAQs 4

Why are inverted lithium batteries better than lead acid batteries?

Inverted Lithium batteries have a significantly higher cycle life than lead acid batteries. This means that our batteries can support a higher number of complete charge & discharge cycles. Lithium-ion batteries are cleaner, live longer, recycle better, and require much less maintenance

What are the different types of batteries for home power inverters?

Batteries are the backbone of any residential energy storage system, providing backup power when needed. The most common battery types for home power inverters are lead-acid and lithium-ion. Understanding the benefits and limitations of each will help you make an informed decision based on your power needs. Lead-Acid Batteries

Should you choose a lead-acid battery?

One cannot ignore the economic implications of selecting a battery type. Lead-acid batteries, particularly the 12V lead-acid battery, are substantially less expensive on a per-watt basis. This makes them a preferred option for large installations or when buying backup batteries in bulk.

How do I choose the right inverter battery?

When it comes to choosing the right inverter battery for your needs, the decision usually boils down to two main types: lead acid batteries and lithium batteries which each have a system of pros, cons and cons. The point of this blog is to separate these differences and help you settle on education options on your specific prerequisites.
