Inverter Batteries have become an essential component for Nigerian households experiencing frequent power outages. Over the years, the demand for high-powered inverter batteries has enhanced across the nation. Nonetheless, most users are concerned about their battery life and longevity as they need to receive an uninterrupted power supply for a more extended period.
We at Star Plus Battery offer Nigerian homes with high-quality inverter batteries. However, more awareness of maintaining inverter batteries can be needed to reduce product lifespan. Don’t worry, we can help you.
In this blog, we’ll discuss easy tips for homeowners to extend the lifespan of their inverter batteries so that their rooms stay lit even during prolonged power cuts.
Maintenance Tips to Increase Your Battery’s Lifespan
1. Proper Installation
Correct installation is necessary to increase the lifespan of your inverter batteries. You should position your inverters in an adequately ventilated space and a dry location. Although our long-lasting inverter batteries can withstand temperature change, it is better to store them in a dry place.
Moisture increases the chance of rust deposition in the battery terminals. This will not only hinder battery performance but also significantly increase its lifespan.
2. Regular Maintenance
Regular maintenance is essential for extending your battery’s lifespan. Check for battery leaks and rust deposition in terminals. Battery leaks signify severe internal damage and might require immediate replacement or repair.
Proper maintenance can be done through regular monitoring and inspection. Cleaning battery surfaces is simultaneously helpful for preventing dirt deposition and the heat caused by it.
3. Keep Battery Charged
Your inverter batteries need to remain adequately charged. Avoid deep discharging and overcharging. Deep discharging might cause irreparable damage to the battery plates. Our strong-built tubular battery is designed to withstand deep discharge cycles. However, excessive discharge will threaten your battery’s functioning.
Similarly, overcharging can substantially shorten an inverter battery’s lifespan. It burns internal ducts and thereby permanently damages the battery. Check the battery charges. It’s best to use an automated charge monitor and controller.

4. Check Capacity and Power Output
Knowing your power capacity is essential for choosing the right inverter type. If you are using lead-acid inverter batteries, the faster the rate of discharge, the lower the capacity.
Evaluate how much load you consume from the units displayed in your electricity bills. Based on your load, choose the most suitable inverter batteries.
You can check your inverter battery capacity by accessing the Load Calculator on our website. Based on the electricity units you consume, we will suggest a suitable capacity for inverter batteries.
5. Do not mix different types of Batteries
Do not mix different types of batteries for optimal performance and lifespan. All our maintenance-free inverter batteries are equally strong enough to support power demands. However, combining them might cause heavy voltage fluctuations and significant malfunction.
If your inverter batteries have been facing severe voltage fluctuations, make sure that they belong to the same category and have similar functioning abilities. In such cases, you should change the entire battery bank to avoid extensive damage.
Avoid replacing individual inverter batteries with an entirely new battery bank so that your household will remain safe and brighten up over a prolonged period.
6. Top-Up with Distilled Water
Wet Gel Cell batteries are topped up regularly with distilled water. Avoid filling any battery with normal water. Add distilled water after your inverter battery is ultimately charged. Make sure that there is enough water to cover the plate before charging.
After a complete charge, try to keep the water level at a proper level. Our inverter batteries have an in-built water level monitoring system. This feature reduces the manual involvement of water topping and helps people avoid the tension of water topping.
