Summers are here. The time of summer vacations. The time of the fresh summer breeze. The time of everyone’s favorite ice cream.
Unfortunately, this magic of summer of fades away the moment the power goes off. Summer vacation turns into a nightmare. Summer breeze turns into a heat wave. Ice cream melts into sorrows. Power cut overshadows the fun of summers.
It is that moment when an inverter system resembles the blessings from the Almighty. We can’t thank the inverter and batteries enough. However, we can take care of them in order to keep them performing without any glitch. As the summer changes your daily lifestyle, it also changes the way you take care of your inverter battery. Here are a few tips that will keep your inverter and battery running as the sun starts to lay its wrath.

Get batteries serviced or replaced in time – This simple suggestion can save you from big trouble. Call a technician and get your inverter unit examined. If all it takes is a little service than it’s perfect, but, if a replacement is your only option then do it without any delay. 

Let the inverter and battery breathe well– The temperature of the inverter battery rises during the charging process. It can lead to compromised battery life. According to research, with every 8­­­­oC rise in temperature battery life is reduced to half. Therefore, it is crucial to install the inverter and battery in a well-ventilated room which has enough air to control the battery temperature.

Check the water level of the battery regularly – Just like us, humans, inverter battery needs to stay hydrated during summers too. The battery must be refilled once every month during the summer season. Ensure that the water level is kept between the maximum and minimum level so that there is no spillage. Furthermore, make sure that never use the tap water or rainwater for refilling. The minerals and impurities present in above-mentioned water types can affect battery performance substantially.

These simple tips can ensure proper performance and maximum life for you inverter and batteries during summers. You can also buy the best quality battery from top-class brand like Okaya to ensure international standard quality. It reduces the risk of any glitch to minimum.

How does an UPS work?

A power UPS or UPS is created in such a manner that it changes direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC).The input & output voltage along with frequency and power capacity depend on the internal mechanism of the circuit. As a standalone unit, UPS does not generate power but only stores and distributes DC. 

Choosing the most befitting UPS for you, depends on the consumption of power at your home. Once you know this, picking an UPS is a piece of cake. 

 Battery: The heart of the UPS

The battery is the most essential component of the UPS. It directly impacts the performance of the battery and the life of UPS. Therefore maintenance and care of the battery should be a top concern. Batteries don’t add aesthetic or social appeal like furniture or decorations, but it runs the show from behind the curtains. 

How to choose an inverter? 

1)      Power requirement: As you read above, daily power consumption of your home determines the type of power you need. Number of electrical appliances in your home and each of its operational cost in terms of voltage must be ascertained. Example 1 tube light cost 60 watts to operate, or a TV takes 120 watts. 

Another thing to note is the VA rating of the UPS. Calculating the power factor is necessary and easily doable. Power factor is simply ratio of amount of power needed by an appliance to the amount of energy churned out by the inverter.  

2)      The type of inverter: Every inverter fundamentally converts DC to AC, however the type of AC that an inverter generates determines its character.
3)      Durability of the battery: As you read in the start, battery is the heart of the UPS. It is the quality of the battery that determines its longevity. Also, the capacity will determine the backup hours that you get during outage.

So next time you shop for a UPS Battery, make sure to consider these tips.
