Signs Your Inverter Battery Needs Replacement
Is your inverter not lasting through power cuts like it used to? It could be time for a battery replacement. Over time, inverter batteries lose their capacity to hold charge, especially if not maintained properly.
Key warning signs include: shorter backup time, slow charging, corrosion on terminals, unusual sounds, or a swollen battery case. You may also notice that appliances flicker or your inverter switches off abruptly.
Battery lifespan depends on usage, type, and maintenance. Tubular batteries usually last 4-6 years, while flat-plate ones may last only 2-3 years. If your battery is beyond its life cycle or shows any of the above symptoms, replacement is essential to avoid sudden blackouts.
Investing in a new, branded battery not only restores reliable power backup but also ensures better energy efficiency and safety. Don’t wait until you’re left in the dark — recognize the signs early and take action!
