Indian cities are synonymous with extensive power cuts and load shedding. It not only interrupts our normal routine but also affects the longevity of the various gadgets and appliances at home. Various brands understand the requirements of the Indian households and device products that are fulfilling the numerous needs and requirements. Livguard is also one of the leading brands in India that manufactures the best inverters and inverter batteries for home. Our world-class inverters are designed and built for your convenience and comfort.

Double battery inverters are a good choice of inverters for homes that experience substantial and long hour power cuts. They are a great choice for both home and commercial establishments. These inverters are meant to easily run appliances like electric iron, refrigerators, mixer grinders, printers, etc., for a longer duration. Inverters less than 1500 VA are called low-capacity inverters and supports one battery, while inverters with 1500 VA or more are high-capacity inverters and supports multiple batteries.

A single battery inverter is designed with a 12V system where the lead-acid battery has 6 cells of 2V each and gives an output of 12V.  Whereas a double battery inverter works on a 24V system in which 2 batteries of 12V are fitted in series. This inverter helps you run several appliances and run your home and manage your important tasks with more effectiveness.

Factors To Consider While Choosing The Best Battery For Your Inverter

  • Your power requirement: This factor is a few of the important factors to consider while making the decision of buying the inverter for your home. In simple words, you have to decide the number of appliances and gadgets you wish to run on this reliable power source at the time of power failure.
  • Find the VA rating of your inverter: VA stands for the volt-ampere rating. It is the amount of voltage and current supplied by the inverter to the appliances. If the inverter functions with 100% efficiency, this implies that the power requirement of the appliances and power supplied by the inverter is the same. But due to what is called as the power factor of the inverter, this is ideally not possible. Thus, the combination of your power requirement and inverter’s power factor decides the VA ratings of an inverter.
  • Choice of battery: The battery carries the main essence of an inverter. It won’t be wrong to call it the backbone for it. Thus, the life and performance of an inverter are very much dependent on the quality of the battery. The battery capacity is measured by the number of hours it can provide power to the appliances. It is measured in Ampere hours (Ah). The battery capacity is calculated with the power requirement, no of backup hours required and the voltage of the battery. This simple calculation will save you from any misleading information.
  • Choice of place from where you’ll buy the battery: You can choose to buy from local manufactures, or you can buy from a trusted online store. A trusted manufacturer gives the assurance of safety, high-performance, robust quality and quality in its every make and design. Thus, one should be very careful in picking up the dealer or company for their requirement.
  • Various ways to maintain your inverter battery: It’s important to understand the various ways and tips as to how to maintain your inverter and inverter batteries to optimize their performance and increase durability.  

It is very imperative to take careful measures to maintain and increase the lifespan of an inverter. Listed below are a few of the tips that will be useful in taking care of the inverter battery.

  • Perform the battery check when the battery is fully charged: In order to conduct a maintenance check on the inverter battery at home, it needs to be fully charged. It will be able to perform to the optimum, and the underlying issues can be easily spotted in such a case.
  • Check the acid level: In order to check the acid level, look at the float indicators. The acid level should be equal in all the cells for the proper working of the inverter battery. Ensure batteries are not overfilled. Filling up the battery even after the specified limit may become dangerous for operation.
  • Check for the acid colour: Open the vent plugs/float indications and test the acid colour. The acid needs to be colourless, indicating the good health of the inverter battery. Brown or black colour acid suggests that the battery is contaminated or at the end of its life
  • Regularly clean the battery terminal area: The lead sulphate produced by the inverter battery gets deposited at the interconnection region of the battery and inverter at the time of its normal operation. This increases the electric resistance of the current-conducting path and deters current flow from the inverter to the converter. It needs to be regularly cleaned for continuous and effective working of the inverter.
  • Check for damaged wire: The battery wires, if damaged, affect the working of the inverter. One needs to check the wire for any crimp, break, and insulation melt. Damaged or meddled battery wires not only reduce battery output but increases the risk of short circuits and other dangers at home.

One also needs to be aware of the inverter’s input power line condition as its functioning gets affected if the mainline power cord is loosely plugged or if the wall socket power is working fine. While buying a double battery inverter for home use, one should keep the inverter and batteries in a safe and well-ventilated area with no direct sunlight or heat. This ensures safe and proper battery functioning.

Livguard is one such trusted brand, which manufactures outstanding inverters and inverter batteries for the smooth working of your home. Inconsistent power cuts can be a halt to your happiness, fun and living. But with Livguard double battery inverters, everyone can enjoy an uninterrupted power supply and smooth working of all your appliances and gadgets at all times.
