When it comes to reliable power solutions, High-Powered Inverters function as the best options. However, even the most seasoned users might have a lingering question in their minds: “How long will my inverter battery last?”

Nigerian homes have become accustomed to frequent power cuts and the prolonged darkness that follows. Owing to the power supply crisis, the domestic markets are flooded with highly efficient inverter batteries. Not all might be as effective as you would want them to be. 

That’s when Star Plus Battery comes as your saviour. 

In this blog, we have discussed the lifespan of our inverter batteries and guided how to care for them for long-term use. It’s time to say goodbye to power cuts. 

Check out this blog to know more. 

Understand Your Inverter Battery’s Lifespan 

The first step is to thoroughly understand your inverter battery’s lifespan. The lifespan is not just a number, but a determinant of how effectively you can rely on your power backup systems. 

Tubular batteries have a comparatively longer lifespan than flat-plate inverter batteries. Nigerian homes experiencing frequent power outages need to ensure the longevity of their inverter batteries. You need to consider the difference between cost savings and consistent energy availability. 

The average lifespan of our tubular inverter batteries ranges from 4 to 5 years. Furthermore, we offer a 24-month warranty period, providing our customers with cost-effective solutions. 

Factors Influencing Inverter Battery’s Lifespan 

As you understand the concept of your inverter battery’s lifespan, it is necessary to evaluate the factors that influence it. The following aspects will determine how long your inverter battery might last: 

Inverter Battery Type 

The lifespan of your inverter battery largely depends on the type of battery you have. As a step to increase lifespan, we have incorporated advanced spines for enhanced performance and improved current flow. 

With our high-life tubular battery, you can easily power up multiple electrical appliances. However, keep in mind that your power consumption doesn’t exceed the battery’s capacity.  

Depth of Discharge (DOD) 

The Depth of Discharge (DOD) is the percentage of a battery’s capacity that is used before it is recharged. If the DOD is deeper, it can discharge the inverter battery quickly. What makes our batteries special is that they have a low self-discharge rate. Investing in our high-backup inverter batteries can provide a reliable power backup. 

Usage Patterns 

Your usage pattern similarly impacts the lifespan of your inverter battery. For instance, one of our clients tended to use the batteries in a low-charged mode. As a result, it created pressure on the internal functioning ability of the battery and caused the battery plates to corrode quickly. 

When our experts examined the actual cause, we suggested that the client keep their inverter battery in a fully-charged condition. Not overcharged or undercharged, but a balance in between. Not only did their power consumption stabilise, but the frequent need for battery replacements automatically became nil. 

Maintenance 

Apart from checking your battery’s charge, appropriate maintenance is equally necessary for a longer lifespan of your battery. Star Plus Battery offers a low-maintenance tubular battery that suits the various power needs of Nigerian households and is affordable. 

Part of your maintenance tactic will be to clean the inverter battery terminals with a dry cloth or a brush frequently. To prevent dust and dirt deposits and effectively reduce corrosion. 

Additionally, ensure that you check the water levels of your inverter battery. If a water top-up is needed, source distilled water for topping. Use only distilled water, as other types of water may contain impurities that could affect the battery’s performance. 

Environmental Pollution 

In some instances, environmental pollution might also reduce the lifespan of your tubular inverter batteries. Although you can’t alter the changing weather patterns or the increase in pollution levels, you can surely protect your inverter batteries. 

Store your inverter batteries in a space where direct sunlight doesn’t fall. It is safe from water clogging and moisture. If you can access a thermostat, regulate the room temperature of the storage space accordingly to prevent any damage. 

Conclusion 

Ensuring a long-lasting battery need not be daunting. It’s an easy task. All you need to do is look into the battery capacity while buying, and take care by being aware. 

At Star Plus Battery, we will help you determine your specific battery needs, enabling you to select a battery capacity that meets your requirements. You can also use the Inverter Battery Load Calculator on our website to determine your battery requirements based on your power consumption.
