Inverter battery provides power backup to a system when the primary source of power is unavailable. Inverter backup batteries range from small single cells to retain high power clock battery room facilities that power uninterruptible power supply systems for large data centers.
Inverter Battery Features
From the discussion it is easy to conclude that the first feature of an inverter battery is that it has to be the deep cycle type. This will ensure it supplies the required power without reducing the longevity of the battery.
Types of Inverter Battery
You basically have two types of inverter battery to choose from; the sealed-maintenance-free (SMF) battery and the tubular battery. The SMF battery is the most convenient type of inverter battery. You just connect it and forget it as it requires no maintenance. It is also safe indoors since it is sealed and emits no harmful gases. They last 2 to 3 years.
Tubular batteries are more complicated and require little maintenance. Unlike the SMF battery that you install and forget, you need to remember to at least top up the water of your tubular battery (like every 6 month or as needed).
Having said this, I have to make it clear that a tubular battery is not the same as a normal car battery, they are in fact deep cycle battery which makes it suitable as an inverter battery.
Because, a tubular battery is not completely sealed and may emit some gases during normal operation, I will not advice that you install a tubular battery indoors. It will be better outside where there is good ventilation.
A tubular battery lasts longer (4 to 5 years) with some claiming up to 8 years of use. They may also be cheaper compared to an SMF battery. However, I will advice you go for an SMF battery despite the advantages of the tubular battery.
The SMF battery is more practical for an average consumer who do not need the hassles. Also the SMF battery seems to be dominant in Nigeria. However, if you have the stomach and the heart for adventure, a tubular battery is a great value for money.
Deep cycle batteries can also come in AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat) or Gel types.
Inverter Battery Capacity
The energy capacity of an inverter battery is measured in Ampere-Hour (AH). 100AH and 200AH are the most popular capacities of a 12V inverter battery in Nigeria, but you may also see values like 150AH and 210AH.
You can also find 2V inverter battery for inverter and solar applications rated at 500 AH, 1000 AH, and 1500 AH. The 2V types are used in solar inverter application or in applications where space economy is important. Such portable batteries can be easily mounted on racks.
In a nutshell the capacity of an inverter battery determines how-long your inverter can supply backup power. For example, if a 100AH battery can supply a given load for 4 hours, a 200AH battery will power the same load theoretically for 8 hours.
