Question 1

Which type of battery is the best for an inverter, dry or liquid?

Accepted Answer

Since they can be recharged and generate large quantities of current they are the most frequently used inverter batteries. They are also light and economical. They can last for up to 3-4 years.

Question 2

What is an inverter battery’s average lifespan?

Accepted Answer

Inverter batteries can be damaged quickly. The typical flat plate battery will last for about three years, while the Tubular battery's lifespan is about 3 to 5 years. But, they could be easily damaged in their time.

Question 3

What is the difference between a car’s battery and an inverter’s battery?

Accepted Answer

Car batteries emit the most electricity for a short period of time to aid in the start-up of the engine. However inverter batteries can provide constant and constant power output for long periods of time.

Question 4

How many batteries can you connect to an inverter?

Accepted Answer

Typically the recommended capacity of a battery is not more than 12 times the charge current offered via an inverter.

Question 5

How quickly does an inverter drain the battery?

Accepted Answer

A small inverter will typically consume 0.1-0.2 Amph without any load. However the larger inverters can use up to 2.0 amps/hour. That means that if you keep an inverter running for 24 hours with no use, the typical battery consumption will be about 1 Amph.
