Technical FAQs 4

What type of batteries are used in inverter systems?

The most commonly used batteries in inverter systems are tubular lead-acid batteries and flat plate lead-acid batteries, with lithium-ion batteries becoming more popular in recent years. Tubular batteries are preferred for their deep discharge capacity and long life, making them ideal for homes with frequent power cuts.

How do I Choose an inverter battery?

It's a good idea to choose an inverter battery that is slightly larger than your needs. This will give you some room to grow and will ensure that you have enough power for your devices. When choosing an inverter battery, it's also important to consider the type of waveform that you need.

Do inverters need batteries?

For most residential and small commercial setups, the traditional battery and power inverter combo is the preferred choice to ensure continuous power supply during blackouts. So, while some inverter types do not require batteries, if your priority is uninterrupted backup power, investing in a quality battery in inverter system is essential.

What is an inverter battery?

Hence, an inverter battery is the device that stores the energy (when available from the main grid) to allow its usage during power outages. The battery stores the grid electricity in DC form (referred to as charging) and supplies it to the inverter for usage (discharging). There are multiple types of batteries.
