The important things we have to consider before we go for inverter (ups) purchase are listed below.
1. Search for Best dealer in your city. Don’t go for any bundled offers from big electronic shops. In most cases these Big shops won’t take any responsibility after sales, they simply point their fingers towards the manufacturer. So, choose only authorized dealers of Branded inverter UPS companies. Usually these dealers own only small sized shops, but these guys are very responsible and quick in service. Particularly, in maintaining the batteries and inverter, we need these dealers help.
2. If price really matters to you, just choose branded inverters with lower capacity (i.e., 400 VA to 600 VA). Never go for lower end non-branded, local made inverters. These crappy non- branded inverters will simply spoil your valuable electronic devices connected to it.
3. If you choose Microtek, Luminous, APC or Su-kam, first collect the phone numbers of at least three authorized dealers. Then call them and ask for the best prices of your preferred inverter model.
4. While taking to dealers, pretend that you have enough knowledge about inverters (UPS) and batteries. Use the words “pure sine wave”, “VA”, Battery AH etc., Never ask them any simple questions like “how many fans and tube light can I use with this inverter?” you can find answers for this simple questions from this website itself. If you do ask such simple questions, then the seller would find out that you are not a pro, as a result naturally he won’t offer you lower price from the first enquiry itself.
5. Before going for purchase, you should decide the right model suitable for your home of office need.
6. 600 VA inverter is sufficient for family with 4 members.
7. Pure sine wave inverters are always better than squarewave or modified sinewave inverters.
8. Price difference between 600 VA pure Sinewave inverter and 600 VA Squarewave inverter is only Rs.600 to Rs.700/-
9. Only buy Batteries with international quality certification. Buying battery and inverter from a same brand is not advisable. Buy battery individually from Top Branded manufacturer.
10. Tubular batteries always have one or more years extra life when compared to flat plate and semi tubular batteries.
){kind=link}
what is the difference between semi tubular and tubular batteries in inverters?
Semi tubular is nothing but a flat plate battery. It has less number of lead plates compared to automobile battery. Mostly, semi tubulars are deep cycle batteries designed for Inverters ( for long run).
It is mentioned in the above post ( 10 Points to consider before you buy Inverter (ups)) that “Buying battery and inverter from a same brand is not advisable”. Any specific reason?
I am planning to buy Microteck Pure sine wave inverteor along with the microteck tubular battery. Is it advisible ?
Dear Mangala,
Buying battery and inverter from same same brand is not recommended. Microtek inverters are best sellers in the market, at the same time microtek batteries are not the leading product in lead acid battery market. Go for Exide batteries if you need quality, reliability and long life with low maintenance.
You correctly said microtek make good inverters and bad batteries so discard them similarly Exide make good batteries and bad inverters !!!!
What about EXIDE HOME UPS pure sine wave 850VA? Buying this product at cost Rs.5500 is advisable?
Dear Ashish,
Buy Microtek UPS SEBz-850VA Pure sinewave inverter for Rs.4900/- instead of Exide Inverter. It has wide service network.
Dear Admin,
I have a Luminous Solo N 600 Inverter. Please suggest the suitable battery for this model. (The previous make given as bundled offer by the dealer does not have any rating markings). We do not face frequent powercuts and this is a backup for couple of hours occasional power failure.
Dear Marc,
If you do not face frequent power cuts, Exide Invertor Plus 88AH battery is enough for your 600 VA inverter.
It has 1.5 years full replacement warranty, but it would last long for 3 years comfortably.
It would cost Rs.5000 to 5500/- at Exide dealer store.
Hi Admin,
I’m planning to buy a “Exide Inva Tall Tubular -IT 500 with 150AH” battery. But could you please suggest the most suitable pure sine wave inverter and appropriate VA? I knew that APC,Sukam, Microteck and Luminous are leaders but among these which one is best for my battery?
Thanks in advance,
Dear Natarajan,
Exide IT500 is a good choice.
For Exide IT500, you can opt for Microtek UPS sebz 850 VA Pure sine wave inverter which would cost Rs 4900 to 5300 /-
Su-kam shiny 850 Va inverter also perform well with IT500.
Thank you,
Dear sir,
am planning to purchase an inverter and battery, i have selected exide tubular battery 150AH and microtek inverter 850w. cud u pls suggest me best place to buy this set in chennai at best price.
thanks in advance.
Dear Sir,
I have a LOCAL Made 800VA Inverter. Please suggest the suitable battery for this. my budget upto 4,000/. In my location maximum time power failure(aprx 10 hrs).
Thanks for Regards.
Dear Maheshwar Dutta,
You need atleast 150 Ah Battery to manage 10hrs power cut. But unfortunately no branded batteries are available at your budget(4000).
You can try Exide champion automobile battery 150 AH, which would cost Rs.8000/-
You can try Exide champion 88Ah also, it would cost Rs4500/-. But you have to reduce the load to the maximum to maximize the back up time.
Sir, Many many thanks for suggest. Actually i will used 3 hrs in a day(4 CFLs,1 Fan), so except Exide Champion any other battery available in the market(now budget 5,000-5,500/).
I have one more question that if i choose any dry cell, it will be good or not? Please suggest both queries.
Dear Maheshwar Dutta,
For 3 hrs backup, you better go for 88AH Exide Invertor Plus battery. It has 1.5 years replacement warranty, and the battery would last long for 3 years for sure.
Exide invertor plus 88AH would cost Rs.5500 at Exide authorized dealers store.
Dry batteries are not suitable for inverter applications. Only lead acid batteries are compatible with inverters.
SMF batteries are another option for those who need 100% maintenance free performance.
Lot of thanks sir.
Dear Sir,
This site is extremely good for basic users.
I am planning to go for Microtek 1550VA inverter. Can you please suggest me Exide battery model that can go with this? My need is 440AH of battery capacity
Regards,
Srinivas
Dear Srinivas,
We recommend you to go for two 200AH tubular batteries.
Exide Inva tubular IT650 200AH battery would be a good choice for you.
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. Can you please comment if I can continue using these combination of inverter/battery when I want convert to Solar power with required Solar panels & Solar charge controller? Or do I need to change these completely
Dear Srinivas,
If you are planning for solar inverter in future, you need to change your inverter.
No need to change the batteries.
Many sellers are offering some exchange offer for solar inverters, ask your local dealer about it.
Hello Sir, I am planning to buy a luminous sine inverter 800VA & tall tubular battery 150AH, The cost is 4900(inverter) & 9000(battery). But I am confused the same 150 AH battery is available for Rs.1500 less but different model no,but tall tubular only. Can you please suggest,Can I go with this?
Thanks,
Varun
Dear Varun,
Why you take risk on Battery Purchase?
Luminous Inverter is fine and we recommend Exide Invertor Plus 150 AH , a semi tubular battery with 2 years full replacement warranty.
It would cost Rs.9500 to 10000/-.
Ihave V-guard 600va ups-60 Royal model with a sealed battery 7 AH 12 volts for my pc back up. it gives a back up for 10 to15 minutes. I stay at hyderabad and require to use 4 CFLs of 11 watts and 2 Ceiling fans. what maximum capacity batterry i can use. can this UPS be used. Is it pure sine wave. I shall be highly obliged to have clarity from you in this. Thanks.
Dear CVS Roa,
You are asking me about using computer UPS as Home inverter by fixing large battery to it.
I want to clarify you that Computer UPS are designed for 15 to 20 mins back up only, you can not run computer UPS for 2 or 3 hours by fixing big batteries to it. It has no cooling fan and the parts will get overheated if you fix large battery to it.
The charger in computer UPS is designed for 7 ah battery only, so if you fix battery above 7 ah capacity to it, it won’t get recharged with UPS 1amp current.
sir, 4 cfls and 2 fans are torun for 3 hours.if ups to be changed i have more load of 205 ltrs fridge and one more ceiling fan. Thank yousir
Dear Admin,
I am currently using Modern 600 VA inverter with Sukam battery (SLA 150AH 18), since this Inverter is very old now and hence i would like to replace it, I am planning to buy Sukam Shiny 850 VA Inverter and will use it with the current Sukam battery (SLA 150AH 18), i wanted to know if this combination is compatible and will work fine ?
Secondly I have a 32″ LCD TV, do we need to use UPS for this or I can simply connect it with this inverter and its safe to use it over inverter ?
I know Sukam Shiny 850 VA (Pure Sinewave inverter) is having a UPS mode also but since this swith is on the back side of this inverter and hence its difficult for me to operate it everytime whenever i need to watch TV.
Do we have any good brand of inverters available with UPS mode switch on front panel ?
Thanks for your valuable time !
Regards
Ajay
Dear Ajay,
Shiny 850 VA (Pure Sinewave inverter) is compatible with 150AH battery and it is safe to operate LCD or LED TV on it.
Thanks Admin..
Just wanted to confirm when i am running LCD TV on it, should i enable UPS mode or i can safely use it on inverter mode ? Is it recommended to run LCD/LED TV on UPS ?
Thanks
Ajay
Is there any invertor that supports solar and power through mains input and charge the batteries . So that it collect power from solar panel when its sunny and from main current if its cloudy(i.e in winters,rainy seasons). Please help me also specify the price range.
Thanks
Kotesh
Dear Kotesh,
I hope you are interested in solar inverters, those inverters will fulfill all your expectations. At present, only limited number of branded solar inverters are available in market.
Price range of solar inverters are similar to branded normal inverters, but you have to pay for solar panels additionally.
Dear,
I am having a inverter (Aeon)600VA. I want to buy a new battery 135AH. presently it is working with 88AH battery. (3 computers with LCD monitors)Now I am getting only a half an hour backup. Is there any problem in connecting 135AH battery with this
Thanks
Dear Baiju,
It is safe to connect 135 AH battery to 600VA inverter, 100% compatible, no need to worry.
Hello Admin,
I am waiting for your reply, please let me know your inputs on above question.
Thanks again..
Ajay
Dear Ajay,
It is safe to run LCD/LED TV on Pure sine wave inverter, no need to switch to UPS mode while using LCD or LED.
Waveforms other than pure sine wave are not recommended for LCD/LED TV’s.
Thanks Admin !
One last question, which Sine wave inverter is the best and will you recommend ?
Thanks
Dear Ajay,
We don’t recommend a single brand all time, our recommendations depends on consumers requirement and budget.
APC, Sukam, Microtek and Luminous are the most suggested brands.
sir, I want a silent functioning and no noisable ups in 850va. can you suggest me which is better in between APC 850VA AND SUKAM SHINY 850VA
Dear Murali,
Both Apc and Sukam are best brands, APC is expensive than sukam.
Hi,
I am planning to buy an Microtek 875VAe(Sinewave) inverter costs 6200/- and Amaron 150AH Tubular battery costs 11700/- for my home. Difference between Sinewave/Pure Sinewave? Exide-Mega1500(150AH) costs 13,800/- in Hyderabad. Please suggest me the best combination.
Thanks,
Chaitanya
Dear Chaitanya,
The prices you have quoted for both inverter and battery are so high.
Microtek Pure sine wave inverter 875VA cost Rs.5300/- Only
Exide Mega 150 AH would cost around Rs.12500/-
If you can’t get exide battery at reasonable price, it’s better to go for Amaron battery.
Go for Pure sine wave inverter only, it is suitable for all kind of instruments.
thank you mr.admin, . your guidelines are very helpful to novice . very enlightining.
Dear Admin,
I am interested to buy a microtek or su-kam inverter of 1KVA to 1.4KVA is there any model where i can use single 150 AH exide battery along with inverter. Some of the inverter i searched online requires 2 batteriesof 100 AH. I dont want to invest in 2 batteries as well as space available is less.
Dear wajid,
1 kva inverter with single battery option is available in Luminous shakti charge inverter model only. Try this link to know more https://upsinverterinfo.com/luminous-shakthi-charge-it500-super-handle-10-hours-power-cut.html
Dear Admin,
I want to buy 800 VA Pure Sine Wave model inverter. After reading few reviews i am thinking of going with Su-kam 850VA inverter. I heard Su-kam also gives 150Ah tall tubular batteries. Is it worth going with this combination. the cost quoted is 6500 for inverter and 14000 for 150AH Tall Tubular sukam battery. How is after sales service from Su-kam. Is this rate is correct and can i go for this ?Thanks – Varun
Dear Varun,
Product selection is good. But the price quote is high, the inverter would cost only 5000 to 5500 and the battery would cost only 12000 to 13000/-
Sukam is one of the best companies offering good after sales service.
Great work sir.UR SUGGESSIONS ARE VERY HELPFUL.
sir iam planning to buy a luminious 1500VA inverter and two
Exide IT400(115ah) battery for it.
The price the dealer is stating is
luminious 1500va=9375rupees
Exide IT400(115ah) tall=11500rupees
IS THE PRICE REASONABLE.ALSO DO LET ME KNOW WHETHER THE INVERTER SUPPORTS THE 115ah COMBINATION OF BATTERY….. thankyou
Dear Aswath,
It’s a good combination and it’s fair deal too. Ask for free installation.
dear Admin,
Yep its a free installation.
Thanks for your reply.
dear admin,
I have just bought a a luminious 1500va digital ion sine wave inverter with two exide IT500 battery.Iam confused about a switch which i find in the back of the inverter.The switch which is used to switch between unregulated ups mode and regulated ups mode.Why is this switch used forand its difference .Iam confused about in which mode should i put the inverter.
Dear Raju,
Regulated UPS mode – 180 v to 255 v
Unregulated UPS mode-100 v to 270 v
Always keep your inverter in unregulated UPS mode to save your battery, otherwise your inverter will change to battery mode whenever low or high voltage occurs.
Regulated mode is for those who want to connect computers to home inverter, in this mode the switchover time is minimal to avoid computer rebooting during power failure. But, if the voltage from grid drops below 180 v or exceeds 255 v, then the inverter change to battery mode automatically. You Should monitor your grid power while using this mode, otherwise your battery will be drained abruptly.
I am from Tirupur district and want to purchase UPS and Battery, my nearest dealer offers Exide Tubular tall battery 150 AH + Su-kam 850 VA inverter.
I would like to know the market price of above. Pls advice.
Dear Perumalsamy,
You didn’t mention the particular model name your dealer is offering.
Hello Admin,
I am looking to buy a pure sinware inverter of about 850VA, I have been given two models..Microtek UPS sebz 850 VA & Microteck e2 875. Which one should i buy ? Please help..
Thanks
Ajay
Dear Ajay,
Microtek SEBz 850va is a CLASSIC MODEL pure sine wave inverter whereas the ‘Microtek E2 875’ is a Square wave model.
Pure sine wave inverter is always better than square wave inverters.
Also please let me know what is the difference between Microtek UPS sebz 850 VA & Microteck e2 875 and if both of them are pure sine ware ?
Thanks again,
Ajay
Surprised, I have been told that its a pure sinewave, please refer to the link below.. Can you please reconfirm if its a square wave ? http://www.microtekdirect.com/upsswe2_875va.php
I am also looking for Luminous LB 875, I have been told that Luminous still uses copper transformers while other uses aluminium, is that correct ? Should I go with Luminous or Microtek ? Please suggest the model name also for Luminous and Microtek
Thanks again,
Ajay
Dear Ajay,
First, you asked me about Microtek E2, which is a square wave inverter, Now you are inquiring about Microtek SWE2 which is Pure sine wave.
No confusion – Microtek SWe2 is a pure sine wave inverter.
Also read this article for facts about copper winding
https://upsinverterinfo.com/is-microtek-silver-winding-inverter-better-than-luminous-copper-winding.html
Oh..I thought E2 and SWE2 are same models.. Thanks for sorting out this confusion.
Regarding the Copper windings, the above link you passed compares the Copper windings Vs Silver windings.. While Microtek doesn’t have silver windings..They say its Aluminium windings in their transformers ?
Thanks
Ajay
Dear Ajay,
I think we need a hammer and other tools to open the transformer of microtek inverter to find the final result,
Ok, See this link to clear doubts about aluminum winding in Transformer
http://www.vt-inc.com/seminars/alumcopper.php
Dear Admin, I would like to buy tall tubular battery(150AH) with Inverter. Plz suggest good combination and best deal ?

Thanks.
dear sir,
i am planing for new UPS for 3 to 4 hrs back up. with load of 1 TV -CRT model, 5 -6 tube light, 1-2 fans and some electronic gadzets.
guide me the best inverter
Dear Desai,
Your load preference is heavy when compared to other home users, So we recommend not to connect Normal CRT TV to inverter.
Go for 850 VA Pure sine wave inverter with 150 ah Tall Tubular battery, this is the most preferred configuration for normal home users.
Hi,
Please suggest me the best choice,
1 PC with 18.5″ Monitor (2 Nos). / 1 Laptop to increase the backup.
1 32″ LCD TV. (Occasional).
1 Ceiling Fan.
2-3 Tube lights.
My budget is 25,000 – 30,000 Rs and I have 4 choices,
1.4 KVA Numeric Inverter, 100 AH exide batteries (Tubular Batteries) 2 nos.
1.5 KVA Microtech Inverter, 100 AH exide batteries (Tubular Batteries) 2 nos.
1.4 KVA APC Inverter, 100 AH exide batteries (Tubular Batteries) 2 Nos.
1.4 KVA APC Inverter, 150 AH exide batteries (SF Sonic Power Box) 2 Nos.
Please choose me the best one, also if possible please suggest me the best one from your choice for my requirement.
Best Regards
Dear Admin,
A small correction for my previous question, 1 PC with 18.5″ 2 Monitor. So a single PC with dual monitors.
Thanks,
Dear Admin,
Please suggest me a Inverter+Battery combo for the following requirement.
1) 1 PC with 17″ LCD monitor (i.e. approx. 400 Watts)
2) 2 Tube lights
3) 1 CFL
4) 2 Ceiling Fans
5) 42″ LCD (used occasionally)
I want to run the PC for atleast 6 hours with Backup.
So, kindly suggest a suitable Inverter and Battery please.
Thanks.
Dear Jai,
We recommend dual battery inverter for your load preference,
Microtek Pure sine wave
UPS 24×7 – SW1600 Inverter + Two IT400 115ah Exide Invatubular Tall Tubular batteries.
With the above configuration you can operate gadgets listed above flawlessly.
If you want to go for some Budget Pack, then we recommend Pure sinewave Microtek UPS 24×7 – SW900 inverter with IT500 Exide Tall tubular battery.
Could you kindly offer your suggestions to my above email please
Ramu
hi im going to buy microtek 1000VA pure sinewave inverter and exide tubular gold,inva or maybe super (IT750/200AH).
is the combination is best and can u let me know the average price of these both product mention above. And where to buy in Madurai, Tamil Nadu. Send me Email ASAP !!!!!!!
Hi im going to buy microtek 1000VA pure sinewave inverter and exide Inva Gold or Inva super (IT750/200AH) Battery.
Is the combination is best and can u let me know the average price of these both product mention above. And where to buy in Madurai, Tamil Nadu.
Dear Laxman,
Microtek 900 va Pure sinewave inverter would cost around Rs.5200 and you can find this inverter at Electronic shops like ‘Apple Electronics, Town hall road Madurai. Prices are really affordable at these shops @ Town Hall Road.
Buy Genuine Exide Batteries from ‘Mathi Batteries’ Workshop road simmakkal. That’s one of the Big Battery out lets in Madurai.
We recommend not to go above 150 ah battery for single battery inverter.
If you want to beat the 14 hours power cut situation in Tamilnadu, Please read our article
https://upsinverterinfo.com/luminous-shakthi-charge-it500-super-handle-10-hours-power-cut.html
Dear,
Admin,
I have 800VA inverter (fuzzy logic charging) connected to Exide Mega Inva 1000 (12v 100AH battery), normally it charges at 9.5A current & cuts-off at 14.4V but some times rarely it charges @ 15 – 15.7V,9.5A for around 2-3hrs & battery gets warm producing acid smell, is this normal or my inverter charging system is faulty? Or do this normally happens?
Shashi Kumar
Bangalore
Dear Shasi kumar,
Charging current exceeding the normal level would cause serious damage to your battery, your inverter need to be checked by professional service personnel.
pls let me know whether my combination is right or not
amaron 150 Ah battery (or)m teck 150 ah advanced tubular battery, with microtek SWE² – 875VA (or)
UPS SEBz-850VA inverter
Dear Pawan,
Amaron 150 AH + UPS SEBz-850VA Microtek Inverter combination looks better.
Dear Admin,
I have one more query.
1) What’s the difference between Exide CEiL CT500 battery & IT500?
2) Whether the Exide CEiL Inverter is good?
Please clarify.
Thanks.
Dear Jai,
Exide CT 500 is a budget battery which would be 2k less than IT500.
Instead of Exide inverter, go for Microtek or Sukam Pure sine wave inverters.
Dear Admin,
Thanks for the information.
I am from Salem, Tamil Nadu. We are experiencing 14 hours powercut in a day. With 8 hours of continuous shutdown in between 2 hours of EB power.
because of this precarious situation, I have decided to get a UPS with battery.
I want to run my PC with 17″ LCD monitor continuously for 4 hours with 1 ceiling fan and 1 CFL.
Please suggest a suitable UPS with battery for the requirement.
I have shortlisted Exide CT500 150AH battery. But couldn’t decide on the Inverter.
The Exide Dealer told that Microtek Inverters have Aluminum coils and causing lot of problems and suggesting to go for either Exide Inverters or Su-Kam Inverters. Hence, I couldn’t decide on the Inverter.
Please suggest whether I have chosen the right battery for my requirement and also suggest a suitable Inverter please.
Thanks for your wonderful service to all of us.
Dear Jai,
Those dealers who comment about aluminum coil are definitely ‘NOOBS’.
Microtek Inverters are clearly market leaders in Inverter industry and microtek inverter is available everywhere in our country. Sukam and Luminous are other competitors to Microtek inverters.
We recommend Microtek 850 va Pure sine wave Inverter “SEBz850” for your load preference, this model would cost Rs.5000 at dealers outlet. Other option is Sukam ‘Shiny’ 850 Va inverter.
If you are planning to connect home UPS to your PC, then you must switch it to narrow voltage mode (180-260v) to avoid PC rebooting while power cut. If you have 15mins backup UPS for your PC, then there would be no problem in switching the inverter to wide voltage (100-300v) mode.
Dear Admin,
This is continuation of my previous post above.
Thanks for the above clarifications.
I have got a quote for Inverters & Batteries from various dealers in Salem. The details are below…
INVERTER: (All are Pure Sine wave)
———
1) Microtek SEBz850 – Rs. 5,700/-
2) Su-Kam Falcon 850VA- Rs. 5,500/-
3) Numeric 800VA – Rs. 5,500/-
4) Exide 850VA digital- Rs. 6,500/-
5) Exide CEiL 850VA – Rs. 5,500/-
BATTERY:
——–
1) Exide IT500 150AH Battery – Rs. 15,000/-
(36 Months replacement warranty+12 months buyback offer)
2) Exide InvaMega 1500 150AH battery – Rs. 12,500/-
(36 Months replacement warranty)
i) one dealer is offering the Exide 850VA digital Inverter+IT500 battery for Rs.21,000/- with installation extra.
ii) Another dealer offering the Numeric 850VA inverter+ Exide IT150 battery for Rs. 21,000/- with installation.
1) Whether the above prices are good?
2) How about the Numeric Inverter performance? They say its a Transfromer model. Hence, better than coil based models. Is it true?
3) Whether the Numeric Inverter+IT500 combo is good one?
I find that no Exide dealer in salem is giving Microtek Inverters with their batteries. They are willing to give Exide Inverters, Numeric Inverters only. I find it strange.
I am willing to take Numeric+Exide combo. Whether its okay?
i would like to go for luminious invertor(850va sine wave)+luminious battery (150ah)for 2 bhk 5 member family is it fair enough sir
@Naga Arjun
You have not mentioned about the actual usage in terms of number of fans, bulbs, etc. So, the admin of this blog may not be able to provide the correct answer for your questions. Please clarify about your actual usage, probably in terms of Watts and number of hours of usage.
Dear Admin,
The dealer I’m considering going with has suggested that an Exide 1450va inverter, connected with 2 x Exide 200ah Tall Tublar, will be sufficient for my 10hrs+ load-shedding needs. Would you recommend a different brand of inverter? If I can stretch my budget to it, I’m also considering adding 2 x 120watt solar panels to the system to help with battery recharge when power outage increases. I’m a complete novice and can’t seem to find information as to whether the Exide (or any other brand) inverter is compatible with the solar panels..? Any information/advice you could provide at your convenience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Hi,
My need is 2 CFL tubes, 2 Ceiling Fan, 1 Laptop for min 3-4 hours backup. I had following as inverter options APC 850 Pure sineware or Exide 850VA with Exide 150AH battery. Pls let me know if this choice is good? And any other recommendation. Any info on prices at Chennai will also be helpful
Dear Shyam,
For your load preference we recommend APC, microtek or sukam 850 va pure sine wave inverter + Exide 150 Ah battery (tubular or semi tubular)
Microtek 850 VA pure sine wave inverter would cost Rs4900/ at chennai.
Exide semi tubular ‘Invertor plus’ 150 ah battery would cost around Rs.11500/-
From Now-on, Readers can post your comments in FaceBook comment Box.
Deae sir
First of all money really matters to me. After spending 2-3 days at your site i decided to buy microtek 600 VA inverter and 100 AH exide inverter plus battery. I have to run 2ceiling fan, 4-5 CFL of 11w and 14′ TV (very rare).
Whether this is adviseable.
What will be the backup &
Exide Inverter Plus Battery is competable with inverter.
Thanks.
Dear Jha,
Your choice is perfect, microtek 600 VA inverter (both sine wave and square wave) is perfectly compatible with Exide 100 ah invertor Plus battery.
Admin Sir, could you pls reply back with your inputs for my requirement…!
Dear admin,
I have installed Exide mega 1500 around 2 years ago and it is not working any more. Technican says one of the cell is not working. The problem is we lost the warranty card and we are not registered online. is there any ways to solve this problem? If we need to scrap this battery, does dealer buys it back? If yes at what rate? Are warranty card exist with hand written serial number of the battery?
Dear Sushila,
Without warranty card you can not claim exide warranty, your battery’s resale value would be around 2000 rupees. You can sell it @ any battery shop, you can exchange it for new one or sell it separately.
Thank you for your kind information.
Thanks admin. However, there are multiple options in Exide and i’ve listed three of them – Exide Inva Queen 500+ Or INVARED 500+ Or Tubular-IT 500. Based on dealer info, Inva Queen has been discontinued and price difference btwn IR 500 & IT500 is Rs. 1000 and not sure on what basis should i finalize. Pls suggest. My inverter option is EXIDE Pure Sine Wave Home UPS 850VA.
Dear shyam,
we strongly recommend to go for IT500, the reliability of IT500 is way better than invared.
We recommend Microtek SEBz850 pure sine wave inverter and Sukam Shiny 850 va Pure sine wave inverter for Exide IT500. If you still want to stick with exide inverter, please read the comments from users of Exide inverter

Hi Sir/Madam,
We are experiencing 16 hours power cut in a day and night. With 8 hours of continuous shutdown in between 2 hours of EB power. Because of this precarious situation, I have decided to get a UPS with battery in my home (3 tubelite, 5 CFLS, 2 Fan & 1 Laptop).
Kindly suggest to how much VA I need to buy for the requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Thanigaiarasu. M,
Kanchipuram.
Dear Thanigaiarasu,
We recommend Microtek Pure sine wave inverter model’UPS SEBz-1500VA’ with two Exide IT400 Tall tubular battery for your load preference.
Dear Sir,
Required Inverter for 2 CFL (25 Wht) + 1 Fan
Power Cut 7-9 hours in 24 hours.
Selected Microtek Inverter 600 / 600 VA
Battery : Excide Tubluar 135 AH
Please suggest us your expert views on this.
Also please mention Battery and Pure Sine Wave Model No.
Thanks
Dear Gaurav,
Your selection seems OK, this configuration can handle your load preference, but we recommend 850 va pure sinewave inverter instead of 600 va.
Dear Sir,
Thanks for your valuable advice.
2 CFL (25 Wht) + 1 Fan + Laptop (somtimes)
So Excide 135 AH will work fine..or I Should go for 150 AH Tabuler Batteries.
Power Cut ; 7-10 hours in Summers
Thanks
Gaurav
Dear Gaurav,
If your budget permits, its better you go for 150 ah Tubular, you may get additional one or two years battery life.
Dear Sir,
My Budget is approx 14 to 15k.
Dealer suggested me following rates in Ghaziabad.
Inverter 850 VA Pure Sine Wave Microtek)4800
Excide Inva Red Tub. 135 AH (36 month) 11500
Excide Inva Plus 135 AH (24 month) 10200
Excide Champ 135 (18 month) 9500
Please review above price..and share your opinion.
Dear Gaurav,
Prices are reasonable, choose the right one which fits your budget.
Dear admin
my requirement is 5 to 6 hrs backup for running 1fan(60w)+1 tube light 60w + 1 CFL + 1 small size tv. can u suggest a good brand inverter and battery within a budget of 10k.
I m thinking to go for mirotek and exide combination. but plz suggest a good model
Dear Ramesh,
Microtek 600 VA UPSEB600 – Rs.3500
Exide Invertor Plus 80 ah- Rs.6000
Installation – Rs. 500
————-
Rs.10,000
—————-
Thanks for ur info sir…..
but with 80ah battery is it enough for running my loads for 5 hrs ?. I have doubt on this. kindly clarify
Dear Ramesh, Your total load preference is around 200watts approx. 80 ah inverter is good enough for handling this much of load for 3 hrs, If you can stretch your budget to 14k then you can go for 135 ah Exide invertor plus which would handle your load flawlessly for 6 hrs.

Hello Admin,
This is kumar i live in chennai where there power cuts for 2-3 hrs a day.
I want to use
1) 42″ LED HD TV & STB or Laptop
2) 2 fans and 2 tube lights at any time
3) some kitchen appliances if required(mixe,toaster or micro oven)
I have decided to go for SEBz 850VA microtek inverter and
Exide IT500 150AH Battery .
Pls provide me a approx amount and tell me if the above configuration is enough to run the above mentioned appliances.
Thanks
Kumar
Dear Kumar,
Your selection is good, but you cannot operate microwave oven and toaster with this 850 va inverter.
Thanks for the reply.
laptop can u use inverter mode
Dear Naveen,
No need to switch narrow voltage mode (inverter mode) while you use Laptop. Laptop has a inbuilt battery and it won’t restart abruptly when grid power goes off, wide voltage mode (180-300V) is good enough.
I just bought an inverter and noticed that my generator cannot charge the inverter. What power input will power and charge a 220v 3.5kva inverter?

Dear Eswar,

with two
Inva tubular Tall batteries for your load preference.
I am looking for a pure sine wave inverter/UPS, for the following load
3-4 – CFL bulbs
2 – Ceiling Fans
1 – 32″ LCD TV
I am looking at a backup of 3 to 4 hours.
Please suggest a good Inverter/UPS and batter combination. I am located in Hyderabad, AP. Any dealer information that you can provide would be great. My budget is around 30 to 35K
Regards,
Raju
Dear Raju,
900 VA inverter with 150 ah battery is good enough for your load preference, we recommend Microtek pure sine wave model ‘
UPS 24×7 – SW900’ inverter and Exide IT500 tubular battery (150ah). Inverter- Rs.5300/- Battery – 14000/-
Since your budget is bit flexible, you can consider buying UPS system somewhat more powerful. In such case, we recommend
Microtek 1500 va Pure sine wave model ‘UPS SEBz-1500VA’ with two Exide inva tubular ‘IT400’ (115ah) batteries. This configuration would cost around 30k.
Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestion.
Can you guide me to a good dealer for Exide batteries in Hyd, from whom I can purchase the IT400 (115AH) battery.
Regards,
Raju
Dear Raju,

my requirements are
3fans
2tuble lights

Dear Ashok,
We recommend Pure sinewave 850 va inverter(Microtek or sukam) and Exide Invatubular IT500 Tall tubular battery for your load preference.
Before using kitchen Mixie, you should switch off all other load on inverter. The recommended inverter would cost around 5k and battery would cost around 14.5k in Andhra Pradesh.
thanks a lot sir
Would you please guide me on this question
good
At the outset, I would like to appreciate the the deep knowledge and the help you guys are offering to people like us. Thanks for your guidance.
I am looking at buying UPS with 800VA and 1000AH Tubular PUre Sine wave
1. What would be the approx cost from Sukom, APC and Access for the above configuration
2. What are your review on ACCESS Brand.
3. My objecties are hassle free maintenance, rather minimum maintenance, good support during issues, longer life and durability. Please suggest the best brand
4. What are the benefits of buying trolley along with the UPS unit
Dear Naveena,
We strongly recommend to go for Microtek inverter Model SEBz850 which is good performer and low priced (Rs5000/-) in current market, sukam shiny model inverter could be the second preference. We can’t comment on any other inverter models in public.
UPS Trolley is helpful in terms of easy access during maintenance, but it occupies space and more prone to rat attack. Place your inverter in well ventilated loft.
thank you. Would you please suggest appropriate battery? I heard exide IR 350 and UPS100 are good. what would be approx cost. OR If there are any other suitable battery please suggest
Dear Naveena,
Instead of Exide Invared tubular we recommend Exide Mega Inva semi-tubular with 3 year warranty and long life . Price details can be found in this post
https://upsinverterinfo.com/exide-inverter-batteries-online-price-list-2013updated.html
Would you please elaborate why you recommend Mega inva semi tubular (3 yr war) over Exide Inva Red tubular (4-5 yr). thanks
Dear Naveena,
We have sent you some details regarding Inva Red and Mega Inva, check your mail box.
Dear Admin team, my prvious post was also not published as it was awaiting moderation. I request you to please oblige and publish my question. This will help me make quick decision on buying the Inverter. Thanks again
Dont buy any inverter which brand is selling the most, bcz they are selling the higher marginal brand mostly, so buying a good brand includes evaluation such like power factor, build quality, charging regulation, switching time(transient time), sine wave purity, safety features, finally the look…
i prefer APC or V-GUARD
dear sir, why are you not publishing my comment at all…are you partial to users? I have been waiting patiently for nearly a week and till date it says “Your comment is awaiting moderation.”
Dear Naveena,
We have sent instant reply to your comment through mail, have you checked your mail box?
there was some delay..but got it for sure. thanks a ton.
Please help me with the following.
I am looking at UPS between 800 VA or 1000VA

My focus is long lasting, easy maintenance, good services.
1. Which brand do you recommend APC, Sukom, Access, Microtek
2. What would be their approx cost
3. What is your comments on Access is it a good brand
Dear Reader,

2. previously I m having elnova ups (shopkeeper recommended it) worked for around 25 minutes in a go , it has worked really well for last 1.5 years… but now its battery is over.. is it recommended to just get the battery replaced with superior one say… exide or luminous.
3. thanks in advance
please answer the above question also sir…
Dear admin, my family belongs from a rural area near Bhubaneswar,ODISHA where power cut (5-6 hrs) is a daily practice of utilities and having low input voltage of 125volt during normal. In order to get backup for 5-6hrs with load about 150watt for my home please suggest me required inverter and battery.
should I go for 400VA and 100AH ANY BRAND will suitable for my budget 10k.
Dear Tapan,
I regret for your bad power cut scenario, i can feel the situation.
Don’t go for 400 va inverter, we recommend Microtek 600 va square wave inverter (model UPS EB600) which would cost exactly Rs.3500/- at dealer outlet.
Exide Invertor Plus model 80 ah battery – Rs.6000 to 6300/-
Microtek UPS EB600 va – Rs3500/-
This combination serves you better than anyother, go for it. Microtek inverter charges the battery when the input voltage from grid is above 100v. So no problem.
To cut the cost, never opt for any low branded batteries, dealers may try to convince you for 100 ah batteries, strongly refuse the fake offers. This combination will work perfectly and give you more than 6 hours backup for your usage level (150 watts).
Moreover, above listed prices are the the exact price of products listed here, you may have to bargain with several dealers to get the product for this price. Tell them you have got the prices from our website.
Are there any possibilities that the dealer can cheat during installation? I mean can they put a refurbished battery and call it as new ? or use old battery and just paste the serial code/bar code sticker on it ?….How can I ensure that my Dealer uses “NEW AUTHENTICATE” Batery and not some used ones. Please guide. thanks
Dear Naveena,
Serial numbers are not pasted as stickers in Exide battery, they were imprinted in battery, you can call exide call center and register your newly purchased battery with serial number. No worries!
Toll Free Exide Call Center Number for Service : 1800-103-5454 (call between 8am to 8pm)
Dear Admin,
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. Will there be any problem for my equipment with square wave output. I am planning for an enhanced budget of 12k as my family some times may use a 14” colour tv, will 600va and 100ah sufficient for 150watt with input grid voltage 125volt.
Can I use the inverter in charging mode and manual after power cut.
Pls suggest for any dealer in BHUBANESWAR.
Thank You
pls guide
https://upsinverterinfo.com/10-points-to-consider-before-you-buy-inverter-ups.html#comment-1377

Dear Admin, I am looking for a pure sine wave inverter so please tell me which model will b the best between Microtek’s UPS SWE²-875VA
or
Microtek’s UPS SEBz-850VA
or
Microtek’s UPS 24×7-SW900
or
Su-Kam’s Shiney-850 VA.
Some dealers saying that Microtek is now giving Aluminum binding instead of Copper binding in all models. is this true??? please help me admin…………..thanks & regards
Dear Vivek,
We recommend Microtek UPS SEBz-850VA inverter as it is more reliable than other new models.
Microtek has aluminum winding and Luminous has Copper winding, this is a known fact, there is nothing to worry about aluminum winding, both windings are reliable and tested with Indian conditions.
Do you think Dealers are smarter than Microtek R&D engineers? No way!
It’s a Marketing strategy to push other products which gives more commission on sales.
Admin, Thanku so much for suggestion….in my city, 8 out of 10 dealers are reccomonding Su-kam’s Shiny bcoz of Copper winding and 7 years warrenty (2 yrs Complete & 5 years On Main transformer)….may b Su-kam is giving more profit to them. ……One dealer is offering me shiny 850VA in Rs.4300.
One more thing…..Su-kam is clamming that Shiny is providing 100% pure sine-wave same as grid supply…please chkout dis http://www.su-kam.com/Power-Solutions/Home-Solutions/UPS—Pure-Sine-Wave/Shiny-Series/26/1
Please throw some light on the same……
Thanks & reagrds
Dear Vivek,
We always recommend two models,
Microtek UPS SEBz850va Pure sine wave and
Sukam shiny 850 va pure sine wave
Both are good performers, reliable and long lasting. Sukam shiny 850va for 4300 is a good deal, we recommend it.
Thank you,
Hi Sir,
your site is really very informative and nice.
Would like to take ur suggesion.
My requirement is , 2 fans, 3 tubelights , TV and Laptop.
As per ur suggesion in previous comments, can i go for Microtek UPS SEBz-850VA and if yes then which battery should i take.power cut in my area is 8 hrs. My budget is not more than 15000. please advise sir.
Dear Prem,
Your load preference is little bit heavy for 850va inverter, we recommend you to use CFL lamps instead of Tubelights.
Our recommendation,
Microtek UPS SEBz850va pure sinewave – Rs.5000/-
Exide Invertor Plus 135 ah semi tubular battery (2 years full warranty) – Rs.10000/-
Sir this requirement is for Bangalore My requirement is 2 fans and 4 CFL bulbs At home at full load and cutting is for 3hrs.Is 400 VA enough. If yes then please suggest a good inverter and battery for it. How much should be the battery AH for this configuration. Budget under 10 k with installation and trolley
Dear Shinos,
400VA inverter is enough for your load requirement.
We recommend Sukam Frendy – 400 va inverter, it is a silent performer, light weight and very small in outlook. Cost would be around Rs.2500 to 3000/-
For Battery, we recommend Exide Invertor Plus 80 ah with 18 months full warranty – Rs.6000/-
With this configuration you can enjoy long back up time and flawless performance of top branded products.
For installation, hire a good technician and buy trolley from any electronic shop in bangalore.
The total cost would be around 10k. Hope this helps
Hai sir, i want to buy inverter and battery to run 1lg flatron tv and 2 cfl bulbs and 1fan may be used occasionaly please suggest me sir inv 600va and bat of 88ah is suitable or pls tell i can ru those for less power batteries
Dear Akhil,
We recommend Pure sine wave Microtek UPS SEBz850va inverter instead of 600va for better performance.
For battery,
Exide Invertor Plus 88ah would be a better companion.
Sir, i am looking for 150Ah to 180 Ah battery for my Microtek SEBZ 850va….Excide is out from my budget. suggest me some other brand. and tell me if i go with 180 Ah batery thn how much charging & backup time will increase compare to 150 Ah.
Dear Tanuj,
You didn’t tell your budget, then how can we suggest a battery within your budget?
Exide 150 ah “invertor Plus” Model semitubular would cost around Rs.11500/-
Admin, my budget is in under 10k…..what is ur opinion about Amaron, Okaya & Kay-Cee brand? what is the diffrence between semi-tublar & tublar?
Dear Tanuj,
Amaron 150 ah does not comes under 10k, its a good brand.
Okaya will fit in your budget, but it’s a product from Microtek inverter company. Quality dos not match with Exide luminous or sukam battery.
Battery Life is the main difference between Tubular and Semi tubular, Other brand tubular batteries last long for 3 years and Exide semitubular ‘Invertor plus’ battery also last long for 3 years. Choice is yours.
Exide 135ah Invertor Plus model – Rs 10,000 to 10500/-
Hi,
I appreciate your thankless and wonderful efforts in helping the people to resolve their power worries. Currently I am moving to a new place where the power cuts are more. 1 hr power cut every 2 hrs. My load recommendations are,
3 tube lights
3 fans
1 – LED TV
1- Laptop ( Occasionally)
Kindly suggest me better configuration Inverter and battery. I appreciate your quick responses on this as I need to finalize things quickly.
Thanks & Regards,
raghuram
Dear Raghuram,
You load preference little bit exceeds the limit of 850 va inverter, if you replace tube lights with CFL, then you could consider buying 850va pure sine wave inverter which would cost around Rs.5000.
If Budget is not a barrier, then we would recommend 1500va pure sine wave inverter which will need two lead acid batteries to operate.
we recommend,
Sukam shiny 850 va Pure sinewave inverter – Rs.5500/-
Exide Mega Inva semi tubular 150 ah battery with 3 years full warranty – Rs.12,500/-
Total – 18,000
—————————————————————————————–
If you would like to go for 1500 va inverter, we would recommend
Microtek pure sinewave model UPS SEBz1500va inverter – Rs.8000/-
Two Exide Mega Inva 100 ah batteries (model ‘FEI0-MEGA1000’) – Rs.8700 + Rs.8700/-
Total – Rs.25400/-
hi,
I am also open to SOLAR iNVERTERS AS WELL.kINDLY SUGGEST BOTH OPTIONS.
THANKS & REGARDS,
RAGHURAM
Dear Raghuram,
People often step back after hearing the cost of solar panels needed for hybrid solar inverters, we recommend Sukam Briany model 850 va sola hybrid inverter. You can install solar panels anytime, just operate it with grid power and add solar panels in future.
Sir,
what is the advisable charging current and charging voltage of a 88AH Exide inverter plus battery..
Dear Vinodao,
Charging current recommend for 88ah battery is 10% of it s ah rating, that is 8.8 ampere.
You should have a branded inverter like Microtek, sukam, Luminous, APC, Mahindra etc, they automatically senses the battery ah rating and auto adjust their charging voltage to match the battery. Local made inverter have some manual switches to select the voltage and mostly they kill the battery with overcharge.
i have a amaron pure sinewave 875va inverter and amaron 150ah battery. Can i add another battery to it. And what is the max ah battery i can use with the 875va inverter.
Dear Harish,
Don’t add any battery to you 850va inverter. Mixing old and new battery is not recommended. You can add maximum of 200ah battery to a 850va inverter. If you suffer more than 12 hours power cut, it won’t help you. Needs more time for full charge.
i have amaron 150ah battery. Can i use a solar inverter with this battery. What is the cost of 850 va solar inverter. Can you advice a good brand. Thanks in advance
Dear Suresh,
You can use solar inverter with your existing amaron battery. Wide range of solar sine wave inverters are available Sukam.
We recommend
Sukam High frequency solar sine wave inverter 500watts and 750 watts models – choose according to your load preference.
Inquire about this to your near by sukam dealer.
Hello sir,
which inverter is better exide or microtek?
Dear Binod,
We recommend Microtek!
Sir,
I want least of 3 hours backup for my PC (lcd display), extra a light and fan would be nice for home purpose.
Please suggest the best of Inverter and Battery brands that suit my needs.
If you could tell approximate price, it would be nice..
Thank you,
Dear Chadrasekar,
We recommend 150ah Exide semi tubular battery with Microtek Pure sine wave Inverter for your load preference.
Microtek UPS SEBz850va Pure sine wave inverter – Rs.5000 to 5500/-
Exide 150 ah Invertor Plus model (semi tubbular) – Rs.10,500/- (2 year full replacement warranty)
—————————————————————-
Other options for battery
Exide Mega Inva 150 ah semi tubular – Rs.12,500/- (3 years full warranty) (life expectancy 4 years)
Exide Tall Tubular model 150 ah ‘IT500″ – Rs 14,500/- (4 years warranty0 (Life expectancy 5 years)
sir, what is semitubular and tubular?
As Luminous is No. 1 in inverters, why you suggested Microtek Pure Sinewave? not offending, just asking.
Luminous 600va is not sinewave ?
I imagined Luminous 600VA and Exite IT500, is it okay for 1 pc (lcd), 1 fan, 1 tubelight?
Dear Chandrasekar,
If you believe Luminous is no.1 and best of the best, then you can go for it, no problem.
You can notice here, we recommend only very few models from microtek, not all models are successful. More over, have u seen anywhere in this site that we recommending Microtek inverter batteries or Okaya inverter batteries which is also a Microtek company ?
We are not affiliated or associated with Microtek, Exide, Sukam or Luminous, we are professionals in this field and we are just helping people to choose right inverters and batteries for their need.
We recommend only reliable and most successful models with minimal rate of failures, as a professionals we have access to some industry secrets about the reliability of some models, we disclose it here for the sake of our readers who trust us more than their dealers nearby. That’s all for now.
———————————————————
600 va Pure sine wave inverter is enough for the load you are planning for.
Thank you very very much, sir..
sir,
what is semitubular and tubular batteries?
which is best ?
Dear Chandra sekar,
Tubular battery is best when compared to Semi tubular, but it is best in terms of life expectancy.
Semi Tubulars are also reliable good performers in terms of performance. But Tubulars beat them with extended life.
Dear,
Admin,
What is PWM battery charging, how it charges the battery? Is it good for traditional lead acid battery ?
Shashi kumar
Bangalore
Dear shashi,
PWM charging means Pulse width modulation charging method, which means multi stage charging according to the charge level of the battery.
Mostly all modern day branded inverters are equipped with this technology which gives the lead acid battery extended life by multi stage charging.
It is definitely good for batteries.
Can we use 850va Luminous inverter with Exide IT500 ?
Can you describe calculation please,
For 150ah battery, which inverter to use 600va or 800va ?
For 600va inverter, which to use 150ah or 100 ah battery ?
Difference between 600 and 800 va and 100 and 150 ah battery?
I think backup time is difference, but I have doubts on these to know
Dear chandra sekar,
A 600 va Inverter is compatible with
80 ah, 88ah, 100ah, 115, 120, 135 ah and 150ah batteries.
——————————————————-
800/850/900 VA inverters are compatible with
80, 88, 100, 115, 120, 135, 150, 165, 200ah batteries
—————————————————
Back up time and warranty is the difference between 100 and 150 ah batteries
warranty details of invertor plus model exide batteries
https://upsinverterinfo.com/exide-invertor-pluswarranty-details-for-all-models.html
——————————————————————————————
Difference between 600 and 850 va inverters
600VA – charging current is lower than 850 va inverter – Good for normal use – Fan, tube, cfl, computers and laptops
850 va inverter – charges the 150 ah battery better than 600 va inverter, Even Compatible with Kitchen Mixers and small water pumps up to 1/2 hp.
How good are AMARON CURRENT BATTERIES(150 AH) and AMARON INVERTER ?
Please suggest
in maharashtra microtek 860 va inverter is available what change does it make compare to 850 va inverter and batteries r also available at 180ah and what is the minimun voltage required for 860 va inverter and 180 ah to get charged.we face load shading 4 hr in morning and 2 hr in the evening. i need to use 2 tubelights,32 inch lcd(evening),2 fans and pc(evening)
Dear Prashant,
For 4 + 2 hrs power cut and your load preference it’s unnecessary to go for a 180 ah battery, though a 850 va inverter can handle the 180 ah battery, we would recommend a Exide semitubular or tubular 150 ah battery for you.
Make sure you are buying a Pure sine wave inverter, as you are planning to use LCD TV , you should be careful with this.
To know the some advantages of 850 va inverter, read this post
https://upsinverterinfo.com/difference-between-600va-and-850va-inverter-how-to-choose.html
Admin, I am planning to buy 800/850/900VA pure sine wave inverter. In my city 90% traders are suggesting GENUS inverter. they are clamming that only GENUS’s Inverter can give you pure sine wave backup. Few of them are telling that pure sine wave can b generate only with 1400VA or above capacity inverter. please suggest me
Dear TJ,
Genus is one of the good quality product available in market. But making statements like “genus only produces pure sine wave current” and “1400VA inverter only generates Pure sine wave” are simply stupid statements made by some novice dealers, don’t give much importance to them, just buy what you necessarily need, don’t go for any double battery inverters for using a load of just 500 watts.
WE recommend,
Genus Deluxe 800 VA Home UPS and
Exide Mega Inva 150 ah semitubular Battery with 3 years full warranty (life expectancy 4 years) – Price – Rs.12500/
This combination works better !
Thanks admin….i will go with either Microtek or Sukam
One more thing….cud u plz tell me about power saving ceiling fans, inverter friendly???
Hi Admin,
Information provided here is very useful. I am planing to take inverter of 850VA and battery of 150AH for four fans, four tubes and one TV. Could you please recommend me some configurations. My budget is 15K.
Thank you.
RK
Dear RK,
We would recommend Exide Mega inva 150 ah semi tubular with 3 years full replacement warranty and Sukam Shiny model 850 va pure sine wave inverter for your load preference.
(If you plan to use CRT 21 inch TV with 4 fans and 4 tubes simultaneously, 850 VA Inverter would not handle the load flawlessly, try to reduce some load or don’t use all the gadgets simultaneously)
Sukam Shiny 850 VA Rs.5500/-
Exide MegaInva 150 ah- Rs.12,500/-
——————————-
Other option ( Good as above configuration)
Microtek UPS SEBz850VA pure sine wave – Rs.5000/-
Exide Invertor Plus 135 ah semi tubular – Rs.10,000/- (2 years full warranty and 3 years life expectancy)
Averagely how much life difference is there between semi-tubular and battery ?
Is there no model in Exide with 135Ah that is with full tubular, not semi ?
For, 1 fan, 1 tubelight, 1 pc (lcd) with Microtek sebz 850va, Exide 100 Ah, how much backup can I get.
I want only tubular model, but IT500 is expensive,
I want Exide 100 Ah full tubular. suggest me a model
sir i want to buy a inverter for home purpose (6 family members ) which one is good , please suggest me ………….
Dear Narashimma,
An 850 VA inverter would be enough for family with 6 members, we recommend Sukam 850 VA Model ‘Shiny’ inverter for you. It would cost Rs.5500/- . For battery we recommend Exide Mega Inva 150 ah (Rs.12500)
If you are power user and need power back up for your pc or some more additional gadgets with high current consumption, it’s better to opt for double battery inverter like 1500VA or more. That would be expensive than 850 VA inverter with single battery.
Admin,
I have APC inverter with Amco battery purchased three years back.
Now, the load is not that much, that i fan is running for less than 2 hrs after full recharge. I have informed the customer care and the people from apc says that i have to change the battery.
What battery can i go as my APC is pure sinewave 850va. i dont find any problem in inverter. Suggest me good battery for my inverter.
Dear SK,
Your battery is in the position of ‘end of life’. You need to change the battery as soon as possible.
You didn’t mention the AH rating of your battery or your load preference in your comment. So, we could recommend 135 ah and 150 ah batteries which are more compatible with your inverter.
We recommend,
Exide Mega inva 150 ah semi tubular (3years full warranty) (4 years life expectancy) – Rs.12500/-
Exide 135 ah Invertor plus semitubular (2 years full warranty) – Rs.10000/-
Exide 150 ah Invertor Plus semi tubular (2 years full warranty) – Rs. 11000/-
——————————————————–
You may wonder why this guy is recommending only Exide batteries, the reason is reliability, performance and availability. Thats it!
Choose any above model that suits your budget. If you could afford Exide Inva Tubular battery ‘IT500’ Tall 150 ah battery, go for it! Price could be around 14k.
hi
i am planning to buy an inverter for home purpose.
need lights,fan,desktop and TV to run with a back up of around 2-3 hours
spoke to microtek dealer, but he advised me not to buy sine wave model UPS as he says it works good only if there is no voltage fluctuation
and he is advising to buy square wave microtek860eb.
kindly advise
Dear Lits,
Poor dealer with no knowledge about basics of inverter or cunning dealer who try to sell his old stock.
———————————————————–
We strongly recommend Pure sine wave inverter, it will handle all power fluctuations and perform better than square wave inverter.
Ask your dealer for
Microtek sine wave model UPS SEBz850 VA, it could cost Rs.5000 to 5500/-
For battery
we recommend
Exide Invertor Plus 150 ah semi tubular with 2 years full warranty – Rs.11000 to 11300/-
If you can widen your budget, we would recommend IT500 tall tubular exide battery – Rs.13800 to 14500/-
I have a local 600va ups to run one pc with 17″ LCD display and a fan for 1.5hrs .
Can you suggest me what ah battery do I need. What is the the cost of the battery. And how much iscthr cost difference between local and branded batteries.
Dear Harish,
For 1.5 hours back for 1 PC with 17 inch LCD, we recommend 80 ah battery, (100 ah will be more comfortable and have prolong life)
We recommend
Exide Invertor Plus model 80 ah battery – Rs.6000 to 6500/-
Hi Admin,
I’m from Bengaluru.

Hi. Sir
I have plan to take inverter 875 va and battery 150AH.
In my place the power shut down in max of 12 hours.
My req is 3fans,3tubelights and 1 TV.
My worry is
–> whether the battery will get enough charge on remaining hours.
Thanks,
Mukunth R
Dear Mukunth,
with 875 va inverter and 150 ah battery
For 12 hours power shedding
You must exclude CRT TV from your load preference, LCD or LED 32 inch is okay
Use CFL instead of Tube lights,
Don’t use 3 fans simultaneously for long time.
Replace your old bulgy fan speed regulators with compact dimmer switch.
Operate Fans at moderate speed.
If you follow above recommendations, your inverter and battery will not let you down.

This one is most advanced model compared to microtek 2.2kva sine wave. It has intelligent controls and excellent display system to monitor the battery charging, load, battery state, input output voltage level etc. which will be very help full for commercial use.
Price guideline
Su-Kam Fusion 2.5KVA (pure sine wave) (4 battery system) – Rs.12,000/-
Sukam 100 ah Normal deep cycle batteries – Rs.8500 x 4 = Rs.34,000/-

Hi,
I am planning to buy:
Microtek Inverter: 600VA
Exide Battery: 88AH
My Requirement: 2 lights, 2 fans, 1 LCD TV, 1 Laptop with a backup of around 2-3 hrs.
Can you please guide me on this decision.
Thanks,
Sasikanth
Dear Sasikanth,
Your selection of inverter and battery seems good, but if you use all your load concurrently, it would not give 3 hours backup. So, limit your usage during power cut time.
As you plan to use LCD with inverter, make sure you are buying pure sine wave model.
Thanks for the Reply.
We might not use all the items at a time. My usage would be like – 1 Fan/1 TV/ 1 lappy
Is 600VA not a pure sine wave model? how much will this configuration cost?
Will this not be sufficient for the usage?
Dear Sasi,
It will be sufficient unless you use all the load at a time.
Microtek UPS EB 600 VA – square wave inverter – Rs.3500 to 3800/-
Microtek UPS SEBz 600 VA – Pure sine wave inverter – Rs.4000 to 4300/-
—————————————————–
Make sure you are buying Pure sine wave model
Thank you for the clarification.
Can you please tell me the cost of Exide battery 88 AH?
Regards,
Sasikanth
Exide 88 ah invertor plus model – Rs.6300/-

https://upsinverterinfo.com/computer-rebooting-problem-in-microtek-inverters.html
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PURE SINE WAVE AND MODIFIED SINE WAVE. DO THE MANUFACTURERS REFER THEIR PRODUCT AS MODIFIED SINE WAVE. IF NOT HOW TO FIND WHETHER IT IS PRUE OR MODIFIED SINE WAVE?
Dear Venkatesh,
If your inverter is a branded one, you can easily find it by referring the product specification. Just find the waveform section in product specs.
hi iam planning to buy exide inverter 850va pure sine wave with exide 150ah tubular battery, can i go for this or microtec inverter 850va pure shine with exide IT500 which one is best combination
Dear prem,
Square wave inverter is okay unless you use LCD TV or laptops.
Better exchange your inverter with pure sinewave model of you plan to use any sensitive loads.
IT500 is in heavy demand, if it is unavailable better go for Exide mega inva 150 ah with 3 Years full warranty.
Hi Sir,
I need help on selecting an UPS with battery. For me the main requirements are-
1. There are too much voltage fluctuations which caused damage to my washing m/c, laptop adapter and lcd tv. I need protection for this.
2.I need backup of at least 2tube, 2 fan, 1 lcd tv, wireless router and my laptop for 2 hours. My budget is around 25000.

Dear Kavya,
For 1000 va inverter, we recommend 150 ah battery.
There is newly launched model UPSEB 1000 SineWave in Microtek, ask your dealer about this. It would cost Rs.6000 to 6500₹
For battery, we reommend 150 ah Exide semi tubular model ‘Mega Inva’ which would cost around ₹12500/-
(During heavy demand price could climb up to 13k)
Battery warranty- 3 years full replacement
Life expectancy – 4years
Dear Admin,
Kudos for wonderful job.
I am from Bangalore and looking for an inverter for my 2 BHK where power cuts are 2-3 hours max at a stretch.
There is an offer from few dealers for Luminous Pure Sine Inverter 800VA plus Amaron SMF Battery 100AH for 11,800 Rs including free installation. Please suggest if this is a decent offer.
Secondly I am confused b/w SMF battery and Tubullar battery. I understand Tubullar batteries have longer life time over SMF but how much? They say it could be almost double- SMF 3 years and Tubullar 6 years. Please advice.
Can I go for above offer which has SMF battery?
Siddharth
Dear siddarth,
The price offer you got is good and reasonable.
Yes, tubular batteries will last long for 2 more years extra compared to SMF.
SMF is good for families with small child, no gas , no water toppings.
Dear Admin,
Thanks for your prompt response.
Though I have a small toddler at home, I would still prefer going for a tubular battery for its longevity.
Same dealer has offered a combination of Luminous 875VA inverter with Luminosu 100AH Tubular battery at 13,800 Rs.
Both have 2 years warranty with one year extended service warranty.
I am planning to go ahead with the offer.
Please advice if I am making a right decision at a reasonable price.
Thanks,
Siddharth
Dear siddarth,
We recommend pure sine wave inverter, confirm it with your dealer.
It’s a good deal!
Hi Admin,
What about the amaron 880VA inverter & amaron Tall Tubular CRTT150 battery combination. Please suggest me if you have any other choice
Dear vijay,

3. Approx. how many units of electricity would it cost me monthly?
Thankyou in advance.

Hi Team,
I am looking for a good inverter of capacity 1500va for my home which can load 3 tube lights, 5 fans, 1LCD 54inches, 1 cooler and a PC. And my PC should not restart. Backup of 5 hours.
I heard that 2 150ah batteries are best. If 2 batteries are required, May I choose 2kva inverter.
Please suggest me.
Dear Charan,
You could choose 2 kva or 1.5 kva inverter as per your requirement.
We recommend Exide 1450 va inverter with lcd display(not exide ceil inverter) which has better high charging current and 3 charge selection modes.
We recommend Exide IT500 tall tubular 150 ah batteries.

Hi Admin,
Thanks for the update.
1)What is the market price of 2kva Luminous cruze? And feedback on this.
2) Expecting PC without restart.

Dear John,
Microtek has different models in its Pure sinewave and Square wave series.
All the three models you listed are good performers, But we recommend UPS-SEBz 850 sine wave, which is classic model and most reliable, may be other models are designed with little more features and energy efficiency, we recommend UPS SEBz.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Dear Jidesh,
The reason why we insist on Exide Mega Inva or other popular models from Exide is ‘Low maintenance’. All battery manufacturers claim their batteries as low maintenance batteries, but of their batteries need water topup once in 15 days during heavy power cuts,
We have seen some basic models from Exide performing well under heavy power cut situations without water loss for 3 to 5 months, which is best compared to other brands.
As far as warranty claim is concerned, Exide would take maximum 40 days for replacement in case of any battery failure, during that waiting time your dealer should provide a temporary replacement battery.

You asked about Luminous inverter and Tall tubular battery.
Luminous Tall Tubular Battery ILTT 18048 with Luminous sine wave 875 va inverter is also a good combination, we surely recommend it.

wt about EXIDE 850va sine wave inverter with IT500
Hi,
I am planning to buy an inverter and a battery and the power cut in my place is more than 10hrs.
As per the above discussion i understood that Microtek inverter pure sinewave and Exide battery are best.
i am confused how much VA and how much battery AH should be there to maintain 4fans,4tubelights and (a TV or a grinder) needs. Please suggest me about this along with cost and also the details of a dealer for microtek in Nandyal (Andhra Pradesh)
Dear Kalpana,
We recommend
Microtek sinewave UPS SEBz 850 VA model inverter + Exide Mega Inva 150 ah battery wiuth 3 years full replacement warranty.
Though Some table top wet grinders are compatible with 850 va sinewave inverters, we advice not to use wet grinders with 850 va inverter, as it could make your battery empty in short time.

Dear Anukureti,
For 4 hours back up for 2 fans and 2 lights, a 600 VA sinewave inverter + 135 ah battery will be sufficient.
but price difference between 600 va and 850 va inverter is minimal, and an 850 va inverter has many advantages over 600 va one.
We recommend
Microtek sine wave model ‘UPS SEBz 850 VA’ – Rs.5000 to 5500/-
or
Sukam shiny pure sine wave 850 VA model – Rs.5500/-
For battery
Exide Invertor Plus model 135 ah battery – Rs.10000 to 10500/-
————————————————————————-
If you are budget conscious and want to cut the cost on both inverter and battery, we recommend the following configuration
Microtek sine wave 600 va model ‘UPS EB600’ – Rs.4000 to 4200/-
Exide Invertor Plus model 80 ah battery – Rs.6000 to 6500/-
Dear Admin,
I am from Tamilnadu and we face around 10hrs of power cut per day. We will be using one LED Tv, and 2 fan during day time and 2 fans and 3 lights during night time.
I should go for either Microtek SEBz 600 or 800 inverter and battery
Exide Inverter Plus 150AH or
Exide Mega 150AH or
Exide IT 500 150AH Which will be better and also the difference between these battery are power back up or life or the yrs of warranty.
Also because of summer i can see that the price have gone high in Tamilnadu. Are prices cheaper in Bangalore or Pondicherry compared to Chennai ?
Thanks in Advance
Dear Roatwits,
For 10+ hours power cut situation and your load preference, we strongly recommend you to go for a double battery inverter with two 88ah batteries.
Only Rs.2000/- extra investment on inverter, instead of one single 150 ah batteries, we are going to use two 88 ah batteries, so the battery cost remains same.
Exide 1450 va original double battery inverter with LCD display – Rs.7500/-
or
Sukam shiny1500 va inverter – Rs.7500/-
+
Two Exide Invertor Plus model 88ah batteries – Rs.6700 x 2 = Rs.13400/-
Best configuration to beat 13+ hours power cut.
——————————————————————————
You could also use Exide Mega Inva 88ah batteries instead of ‘invertor plus model’, it would cost Rs.8500 x 2 = Rs.17000/-

Hi,
Power cut heppens every 3 hrs in my area. I would like to run 2 fans,2 lights and a tv.
Please suggest me Exide battery(except IT500 150 AH cost high) and microtek invertor.
In this site you were suggesting to use 875va but One agent asked to use 1kva inverter as it would help in quick charging, considering frequent powercut.
Please suggest
Dear Vikibai,
1000 va single battery inverter is not a successful design till now, 850 va inverter is the most successful model. But inverter companies are testing with 1000 va (12v)inverter models in the market, you could not find the model in their official sites, that is because all those 1000 va models are in beta level. If you want to test it yourself, go for it.
We recommend
Microtek classic model sinewave inverter ‘UPS SEBz850 VA’ -Rs.5000/-
+
Exide Invertor Plus 135 ah battery – Rs.10,500/-

One dealer had qouted 875 VA Luminous sine wave inverter (did not provide model number) and 150AH SR500+ exide battery for Rs 19,000.
Is this good combination for my requirement and is this deal OK.
What is the overall efficiency of the inverter i.e. converting AC to DC and back to AC.
In addition to power cuts we face high voltage fluctuations. Can you suggest some solution to get rid of this voltage fluctuation.
Kindly suggest.

APC BI850SINE model inverter and Sukam shiny 850 va are very reliable inverters with good performance, service is good in SUKAM compared to APC.
For battery
We recommend Exide IT500 Invatubular battery for long lasting trouble free performance with minimum maintenance. Service is good in Exide, but you need to wait for some time for battery replacement in case of warranty claim.
But IT500 is on great demand in summer, prices also not reasonable.
Dear Sir
Its very nice to see a site posting good advice . I have an unusual problem and I hope you will be able to help me rectify it . Two Weeks back I purchased a Microtek Pure SineWave SEBz 1000 VA ,
The inverter works well but there is a continuous high pitched shrilling noise (not the overload high pitched noise)coming from the inverter that becomes very annoying and almost unbearable if you stand in the same room for a few minutes ,
on calling the shop where I purchased it they brought another inverter , a Microtek Pure Sine Wave SEBz 850 VA , and when they connected it , the same noise persisted so I told them to connect the original piece again . In 3 of my friends houses they all have purchased Microtek SW E2 875 and there is hardly any or no noise from them at all ,
now i’m confused , is the SEBz series of Microtek known to have this sound problem ? Is there a problem in the way it was connected at my place because both the inverters had the same noise ? is it a problem with the main power supply ?
Should I get it replaced with another series , the SW E2 for example ? Awaiting your reply . Thank you .
Dear Slash,
Check the wiring, confirm whether the neutral from inverter is connected to home wiring properly.
Dear Admin,
Thank you very much for your extraordinary article about points to consider before buying an inverter. Based on your advise I plan to take either “Microtek UPS SEBz850 va model pure sine wave” or “Sukam shiny 850va pure sine wave” and I will consider either “Exide IT500 150 ah Tall Tubular model” or “Exide Invertor Plus semi tubular 135 ah” battery.
I am in Chennai.Here power cut is 2hours per day.And monthly once 9AM to 5PM power cut will be there for EB maintainance.
Usage is 3 tube lights and 2 ceiling fans,2 mosquito liquids and occasionally I will use LED monitor desktop PC.Please advise
Dear Admin,
Could you please suggest me on below ?
I alredy had a setup of Pure sinewave 850 va inverter(Microtek ) and Exide Invatubular IT500 Tall tubular battery. Now it is giving me 5 to 7 hour backup.
Is it possible to increase the backup time by installing one more same battery ? If yes, then do I ve to connect those battery in series or parallel And also how long will it take to recharge those battery ?
Also I am planning to install solar panel for battery recharge .could you please suggest me some how many solar panel I need and how much amp solar charge controller I need . How long will it take if I set two battery ?

I am Vijay from Rae bareli, UP. I went to purchase microtek shine wave SEBz 850. But my dealer told me that “you need perfect electrical wiring and earthing at your home otherwise it will not work so any shine wave model is not advisable for you”. I am living in rented house and doubtful about my wiring and earthing. Is dealer correct or it’s just a misselling? Plz guide me.
Thanks in advance.

Dear admin,
This is sarav from chennai.
I am planning to buy inverter and battery. Browsed most shops nearby to my place.
They are not advising microtek, they r getting lots of complaints it seems due to aluminium transformers.
Even mahindra hi speed models are also with alumin txfrms..
Kindly advice me whether its true or how to go with this copper or al… I preferred mahindra as they have gud features.. But this aluminium txfrm alone bothering me…
And They are insisting on CG, Usha which are copper txfrms it seems..
Also Emric which is a new brand who manufactures inverter for other comp such as CG, Mtek, Vguard… Emric is their own brand of ups and batteries…
Kindly guide me in getting the best..
Battery thought of Exide INvared models as they are cheaper tubular batteries.. Not sure 100ah or 135 ah.. Not sure 35 ah makes difference.. Clarify me on this as well.. . Dealers insisting on the same brand batteries as they form cheaper combos…
My power loss @ home is 2to4 hrs a day… Power shutdown 9am to 6pm per day in a month..so need to use fan alone on tat day for my kid… Suggest me the best combination of inverter and battery.
Price they quoted for CG650 va pure sw+Exide IR 100ah-15600rs
CG650 va pure sw+Exide IR 80ah-13600rs
Usha 600 va pure sw+Exide IR 100ah-14600rs
Usha 600 va pure sw+Exide IR 80ah-12600rs
Emric 850 va p sw+ Emric TT 165ah-20000rs
Mahindra hi speed 600 va+Exide iR 100ah – 16,695
Mahindra hi speed 600 va+mahindra 150ah TT – 16,695
Mahindra hi speed 800 va+mahindra 150ah TT – 20,000
Are they normal?
Dear Admin, my requirement is to run laptop, modem and wifi router for around 5-6 hours. Which inverter-battery combination would you suggest ?
Thanks !
Dear Puneet,
We recommend sukam shiny 650 va inverter and Exide 135 ah invertor plus battery for your requirement.
If want most sophisticated inverter which can be monitored and controlled using laptop through wireless technology, then we would recommend Sukam smiley 850 va inverter and sukam LA 150 ah battery, this comes as a package with a fire proof plastic trolley.
Pls suggest me best combination of Inverter battery for 8 hr power cut for 2 tubelight and 2 fans. budget 10000-13000.
Dear Manish,
We recommend
Exide 650 va original Pure sine wave inverter + Exide Invertor Plus model battery 88 ah battery
4500 + 6700
Total – 11,200/-
Hello there,
Your efforts are priceless & precius!
No other sites ever did so…
Because of my job I am moving back to my village from kolkata.
There power cut takes place around 5 Hrs.
My recuirements are for:
5 Fans
6 Tubelights
2 LED TVs
1 Washing Machine
5 Hrs Power Cut
Please recoment the best for me. I donno anything about Inverter or UPS.
Waiting for ur Reply eagerly as I needed to by very early…
Dear Vishal Vodra,
If you want to include washing machine in your load preference, it would create excess stress on your inverter and battery, moreover you need to go for high power inverter with 4 batteries which is very expensive.
So we recommend, not to use washing machine with normal double battery inverter unless it is very urgent.
We recommend
Sukam shiny 1500 va inverter
+
Two Exide Mega Inva 150 ah batteries
Above combination is cost effective and best performing combo
The battery has 3 years full warranty and inverter has 7 year warranty for transformer.
Use sukam dealer locator to find your nearest dealer
http://www.su-kam.com/Dealer-locator.aspx
Price
Sukam shiny 1500 va would cost around Rs.7500/-
Exide Mega Inva 150 ah (1 battery) – Rs.12800 to 13000/-
Hi! Thank you for ur prompt reply with prominnent solution. I left the idea of washing machine. And about costing yes it seems to b pricy! Will microtek 850va upsebz with TI500 combination do for my purpose if power cut remains around 3Hrs on daily and not all devices are eventually on at time…
Dear Vishal,
An 850 va inverter is insufficient to handle your preferred load simultaneously.
I recommend 1500 va pure sine wave inverter with two Exide invertor plus 88 ah batteries, this combo is cost effective and deliver best performance.
hi admin,
nice article. i wanted to know how about
Su-Kam Shiny 850 VA+Amaron Tubular CRTT – 150 ah (Tall) ?
is it a good deal? and what about life expectancy of CRTT – 150 ah (Tall)
According to Su-Kam’s Power Calculator when i compare the below chart it comes 1400 VA. So is it accepted with this combo or overload?
CFL 4 22W
CFL 1 11W
FN 5
TV 2
———
1400 VA
———
waiting for your reply.
regards
saniya.
Dear Saniya Sharma,
Sukam shiny 850 va inverter + Amaraon Tall tubular CRTT 150 ah battery is excellent combination.
………………………………………………
About load handling
If you want to run 5 fans simultaneously during power cut hours, then no choice you must opt in for 1500 va Inverter,
If you can exclude 3 fans from your load preference, then you could opt in for 850 va single battery inverter.
Life expectancy of Amaron CRTT 150 Tall tubular is 4 to 5 years under proper maintenance.
thank u admin for quick reply.
just one small quiry. I think Amaron Short Tubular battery is 160ah. is it good to have instead of CRTT 150 Tall Tubular for extra battery backup. I mean what finally u suggest between the amaron Short & Long tubuler battery when AH is different.
Pls reply…
Dear Saniya sharma,
We recommend CRTT Amaron 150 ah tall tubular battery,
10 ah doesn’t make any big difference in backup time, if you find short tubular battery is more comfortable to your home, then go for it.
Dear Admin,
thank u. had trust on you. blindly going forward as u suggested. Inverter costing 5500/- & battery (tall) is costing 13300/- Total 18800/- is it ok? or overpriced? Oh yes i m from Kolkata
Dear saniya,
Price seems OK for Kolkata, ask for free installation.
Amaron CRTT price would be normally around Rs.12,500 to 13,000/- , but now due to fall in rupee value against dollar prices are increasing in local market.
Rs.13,300/- is OK
Thanks. It was a long term conversation with u & ur valuable site. Wish ur site best of luck. keep helping the users like the same… Thanks again… God bless…
dear admin,
before i write about anything i went through entire post with the comment section.
which led me to decide that i require 1500 va inverter with 2 batterys.
i.e:
10 cfl, 6 fan, 2 tv
the power cut max 4-5 hours.
now the fact is that i am having budget around 20-22k
what could be the best for me in this budget? is it possible to get battery life around 4-5 yars? m confused, pls suggest.
bimal roy, westbengal.
Dear Bimal,
A double battery inverter could handle your load preference, but if you run all the gadgets together you won’t get 5 hours backup continuously .
If you face intermittent power cuts like 2hrs+1hrs+2hrs, your batteries will get enough charge during short interval of time.
We recommend Exide 1450 va inverter and Sukam shiny 1500 va inverter (pure sine wave)
Price of both inverter would range between Rs.7000 to 7500/-
For battery We recommend
Exide Invertor Plus 88 ah battery (2 Nos)
Price – Rs. 5800 x 2 = 11600/- (approx)
Total cost of Batteries and Inverter = 11600+7500 = 19100/-
Life Expectancy of ‘Invertor plus’ model batteries – 3 years
If you want to go for battery with 4 year life expectancy, we would recommend Exide mega Inva 88 ah batteries. But it would cost more.
dear admin,
for details regarding my early comment:
2 led tv 19″ (it’s the monitor turned into tv by tv tuner card)
o one more thing, do i need to top up water frequently? pls let me know…
I have purchased microtek 875va with 150 ah sukam big tubelar battery to run 1 cfl(15w)+1 leptop(hp) backup 2 houre .
Dear Sir, Is your online help / service still available on this link…
if yes pls reply to my queries.
I am Sachin From Pune,
Power cut in my area is 2 to 4 hrs once in a week. During this power cut period my usage will be 4 fans, 2 Tubelights and 4 CFL’s only.
I would like to have your opinion on below
Based on your previous discussions I am planning to install
Microtek sine wave UPS SEBz850 VA inverter
+
Exide Mega Inva 150 ah battery
Kindly advice whether the above configuration is correct, or under rated or over rated??
Please Reply on this.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Dear Sachin,
Your selection of inverter + battery is perfect for your load preference, We recommend it!
Hi Admin,
I have gone through entire post.I am much clear on basics.
Can you please answer me for the below requirements.
1. Desktop
2.Modem
3.1 fan
4.1 light
My budget is around 5k-6k.
1.Can you please suggest the best configuration?
2.Also the price in my location as well. I stay in Visakhapatnam (Anakapalle).
Awaiting for your reply.
Thanks in advance.
Dear Sandhya,
A Desktop PC is a power hungry gadget, we would recommend 850 VA Pure sine wave inverter for your load preference.
An 800 VA inverter alone would cost around Rs.5500/-
So, it is impossible to buy a branded inverter+battery for 6K
Anyways, we recommend
Sukam shiny 850 VA, Exide 850 va and Microtek Pure sine wave UPS SEBz,
All the above models are reliable and efficient enough to handle your load preference.
Price would range between Rs.5000 to Rs.5500/- (only inverter)
We recommend Exide Invertor Plus Model 88 ah battery for best performance and low price.
Exide Battery 88ah (FEI0-IN880PLUS) – Rs.6600 to 6800/-
Don’t go for non-branded inverters and batteries to cut the cost, it would spoil your sensitive gadgets.
DEAR ADMIN HOW IS HYUNDAI PURE SINE WAVE 600VA INVERTER FOR MY HOME TWO ROOMS
Hi Admin,
I am kiran. Thanks for the wonderful info.
Can you please let me know the answer for the below.
1 Laptop
1 Modem
1 Fan
1 light
I want to go with Microtek Inverter + Exide Tubular battery as you suggested.
Please let me know the configuration please.
Thanks for your help in advance
Dear Kiran,
We recommend
Exide original Inverter 850 va – Rs.5500/-
+
Exide Invasmart or Mega Inva 150 ah battery – Rs.13500/-
——————————–
Read this post for more info on Exide Inva smart
https://upsinverterinfo.com/exide-inva-smart-battery-official-price-list-aug-2013.html
Dear Anoop,
We would like to recommend two configurations for you.
If budget is not a concern and you want to go for little sturdy configuration, we would recommend
EXIDE 1450VA pure sine wave double battery inverter – Rs.7000 to 7500/-
+
Two Exide Invertor Plus 88ah batteries
Rs.6800 + 6800 = 13600/-
—————————————————-
If you are budget conscious and still looking for a branded solution, we would recommend
Sukam Shiny 850 va pure sine wave inverter – Rs.5000 to 5500/-
+
Amaron Current CRTT 150 ah, Tall tubular battery
– Rs.12500 to 13500/-
—————————————————————–
Back time will be almost same for above two configurations, but a double battery inverter is capable of quick charging the battery during intermittent and prolong power cut situation.
You can connect more load with 1450 va inverter compared to 850 va inverter.
Battery life of 88 ah exide invertor plus would be around 3 years,
Amaron CRTT tall tubular 150 ah would last for 4 to 5 years under good maintenance.
Hope this info helps.
Dear Srinivasan,
I recommend 850 va pure sine wave inverter + 150 ah battery for your load preference.
Microtek UPS Sebz Pure sine wave 850 va inverter – Rs.5000/-
Exide original 850 va inverter – Rs.5500/-
Sukam shiny pure sine wave 850 va – Rs.5500/-
choose any one of the above listed models for better performance.
——————————————
For battery
you could choose any of the successful models listed below,
Exide Invertor plus 150 ah battery
Amaron CRTT 150 ah Tall tubular battery – Rs.12800/-
Exide IT500 150 ah tall tubular – Rs.15500/-
Exide Inva smart 150 ah
or
Exide Mega Inva 150 ah
Exide Inva smart has three years full warranty and it is just equal to tubular battery. we recommend it
Dear BKmurthy,
We are not in favor of any particular brand.
Of course we included Luminous Inverters and Luminous Batteries in our ‘Top3 inverters and Batteries’ article.
https://upsinverterinfo.com/top-5-inverter-models-in-india.html
All inverters are prone to internal component failure,
it all depends on the input voltage from grid,
if you suffer high voltage problem all day, your inverter will frequently trip and more prone to failure.
Improper wiring without any safety is also one common reason for inverter problems.
Dear Mahesh,
You didn’t mention the power consumption (wattage) of your Oven and sandwich Grill.
Look at the specification of your oven and furnish me full details so that i could calculate your power requirement.
Do you want to run Oven for 8 hrs ?
Are you running any restaurant or Bakery?
Dear Rohan,
Solar panel is the only solution for your problem.
We recommend
400 watts solar panel (24v)
+
1500 va sukam shiny inverter (24v)
+
Sukam solar charge controller
+
Two 150 ah batteries
This configuration gives you good back-up and long life.
One time investment – trouble free performance for prolonged period.
Dear Mahesh,
We recommend minimum 5 KVA inverter for your load requirement.
Su-Kam has a 5Kva DSP sine wave inverter model with advanced features
Inquire your nearest sukam dealer about ‘Single Phase’ ‘Colossal 5Kva inverter’
THANK YOU FOR THE PROMPT ANSWER
Dear Sarav,
You could expect 15 hours power cut on coming march, april and may, better you purchase inverter + battery that handles heavy power cut.
We recommend
Sukam shiny 850 va pure sine wave inverter – Rs.5000 to 5500/-
+
Exide Mega Inva 150 ah or Inva smart 150 ah – Rs.13,000 to 13,5000/- (3 years full warranty)
I am planning to buy inverter for 4 tubelights, 2 fans, and case of emergency 0.5 HP single phase water motor pump only for 10 minutes…..
please suggest capacity for inverter and battery required for atleast 4 hrs backup
Dear sanjay,
We recommend
Exide or Sukam shiny 850 VA inverter- Rs.5000 to 5500/-
+
Exide Invertor plus 150 ah(2 years full warranty) – Rs.12000 to 12500/-
or
Exide Mega Inva or Exide Inva smart 150 ah (3 years full warranty) – Rs.13000 to 13500/-
Hello Admin
Myself Reji from Bangalore.
Before we start you are doing really great job here.3/4th of the doubt in our mind get clear off. After reading all the advice’s that u r recommended.
Total 3 members in our family.
Load shedding is happening nowadays,daily max 2 or 3hrs.I thinks its high time so am planning to buy a inverter (pure sine wave)+ battery(tall tubular) for home purpose.
Here’s my Requirements below:
Tubelights X 2
fans X 1(when required)
CFL X 2 or 3
TV X 1
Desk top x 1
please let me know the prefect brand,model number,price & last but not the least Services.
I got one quotation, Exide IR 350 100 AH tubular with 36 months warranty + Microtech 675 VA/12V sinewave UPS with 24 months warranty. Rs. 9000 for Battery and 4000 for Inverter.
which matches with my requirements………..?
Apc,Microtek, Luminous etc out of this 3 Who are leading best in the present market in-terms of price,sales,services,lasting etc………………?
Regards
Reji
Dear Reji,
We do not recommend Exide IR with 675 va inverter. This combination is not suitable for your load preference.
We recommend,
Sukam shiny 850 va inverter – Rs.5000/-
or
Exide original Home UPS 850 VA – Rs.5000/-
+
Exide Invertor Plus model 135 ah battery – Rs.10,500/-
————————————————–
Sukam shiny inverter is best in terms of performance and longevity. It has 7 years warranty on transformer and 2 years warranty on other parts.
Exide Invertor Plus model batteries are the best in terms of maintenance and performance, the most affordable branded solution. It has 2 years warranty. Life expectancy 3 years+
Total cost =10.5 k + 5 K = 15.5 K
Don;t opt in for 675 va inverter, the price difference is very low.
We strongly recommend 850 VA inverter (pure sine wave)
Sukam, Luminous, Microtek, APC pure sine wave inverters are best selling inverters in the market.
All branded 850 VA Pure sine wave inverter costs Rs.5000 to 5500/-
Never pay more than 5.5k for 850 VA pure sine wave inverter.
Thank you for your helpful article
Would Su-Kam Frendy 400 VA be enough for running a desktop with 22 inch LCD monitor for about 10 to 14 hrs ?
Dear Manoj,
The battery you attach matters. I am sure, you can’t use desktop with 22inch lcd monitor for 14 Hrs/day with single battery inverter.
Dear Katuriraju,
A 600 VA inverter is sufficient to handle your load preference.
But with 850 va pure sine wave inverter, you could handle long power cuts.
Price difference is minimal, so we recommend 850 va pure sine wave inverter with 88 ah battery.
For inverter
Exide original 850 VA pure sine wave inverter- Rs.5500/-
Battery
Exide 88 ah invertor plus model – Rs.6800/-
———————————————–
Most people install 150 ah battery with 850 va inverter.
If budget is not a constrain, we would recommend Exide Inva smart 150 ah battery – Rs.13500/-
Battery has 3 years full replacement warranty and life expectancy of 4 years.
Don’t go for cheap alternatives.
Dear admin,
Firstly, i would like thank you for This wonderful site. It reflects the amount of research you did. May your work be so merrier.
I had gone through almost every part of your website. It’s nice to learn new things.
I am from CHENNAI..
I am in need of a good inverter and a battery to match it.
I would be using 650w per hour. I need 3 hours backup.
i thought of buying 850VA inverter with a 150Ah-180Ah battery.
As you suggested, i contacted many dealers.
FOR 800-850VA MICROTEK, LUMINOUS, AMARON AND SUKAM -INVERTERS- RS.4700-5300.
MICROTEK 1KVA- RS 6000
180Ah SUKAM TUBULAR BATTERY-RS.14300
LUMINOUS RS.13500
AMARON Rs.13000
150Ah EXIDE IT500-RS.13500
I have certain doubts.
1)Can i use mixie with those configuration?
2)I couldn’t single out one inverter for me.
3)Then, regarding the battery, some of my friends tell that i can go with batteries which need water filling rather than buying maintenance free batteries. They are telling that if i keep maintaining the battery by filling distilled water when needed and placing it in a proper place, the battery life will be much better than the maintenance-free batteries.
4)If i use only 100watts per hour, when connected to a 850VA inverter, will there be more waste of power. Some people are telling that if we go for big inverters and use less , there will be more power waste. Is that true?
Suggest the better combination for me.
Dear Anjaanmd,
1. You could use normal kitchen mixie (500watts or below) with 850 VA inverter
2. We recommend Sukam shiny 850 va pure sine wave inverter for trouble free performance for long time. It has 7 years warranty on transformer and 2 years on circuit board.
Original Exide 850 va pure sine wave inverter is also a good choice. It has LCD panels display which helps you to monitor the battery state, input voltage and load . It has 2 years warranty
3. Only SMF (sealed batteries) batteries are maintenance free batteries. All other batteries needs water toppings according to your usage.
Batteries like IT500 needs very less water toppings as it is capable of accepting high charge current, water loss during high charge will be minimal.
4, High usage or low usage doesn’t matter. There will no high wastage of energy with 850 va inverter on low usage compared to 400 or 600 va inverters, It’s a myth. We recommend 850 VA pure sine wave inverter for better charging current and quick recharge with 150 ah batteries.
Best combination
We recommend
sukam shiny 850 va inverter + Exide IT500 tall tubular 150 ah battery
If you go for same brand battery and inverter, we recommend
Original Exide 850 va pure sine wave inverter + Exide IT500 tall tubular 150 ah battery
Do post your reviews about your inverter and battery after purchase.
Good luck
Dear anjaanmd,
It is not advisable to connect the inverter to the main wiring. You must do a separate wiring for inverter.
Exide IT500 (150ah) is the best selling model, other two models are Exide IT500 super and Exide Inva Gold. Don’t get confused with those models
Just ask your dealer for Exide IT500 (150 ah tall tubular) , it would cost you Rs.14000 t0 14500/-
Mostly this models is out of stock during summer due to high demand.
Exide Inverters are very much improved now, thank to R&D
You can go for Exide Original Inverter without any hesitation.
i purchased micrtek inveroter and exide battery 1000plus two years ago but baterry got repair and backup time reduced to 30 mins in six months. i gave complaint to exide retailer they also changed with new one but the new one also got repair with in 6 months. now retailer told to purchase new battery with high capacity 150ah. pls give me suggestion to solve this problem
hello Sir,
I want some suggestions to buy a new inverter (pure sine wave) for my home.
Preferably 850VA. I am a resident of Uttar Pradesh. My friends suggest me to buy Mahindras Powerol inverter. As this is a new company I don’t find much reviews on the internet and form other people. My other query is, can I use Amaron Battery (150ah) with the same one. Please give me your kind suggestion that, should I bought Mahindra ups inverter or not……….reply me soon
Dear diwakar,
You can go for Mahindra Powerol Inverter with Amaron battery,
This combination will serve you better. NO problem!
Never go for Amaron please. Never.
It’s durable but not for high power cut areas.
Dear Ranjan,
3CFL = 45 watts approx
2Fan = 160 watts approx
1 LCD 32″ = 85 watts
Total = 290 watts approx.
——————————————————-
Back-up time of 100 AH Battery = 12 * 100 / 290
= 4.13 Hrs backup approx.
———————————————————
Above calculation is not accurate.
If you use all this gadgets simultaneously, you would get only 3 hours backup, better you go for 150 ah battery for better backup.
Dear Jubin,
We strongly recommend 1500 va pure sine wave inverter for your load preference,
As you suffer only 2 hours power shedding, we recommend to go with two 135 or 150 ah batteries.
We recommend Exide Inva smart 150 ah battery which is most suitable for your conditions,
Inva smart 150 exide has three years full warranty, it would cost around Rs.13500/-
If you want to cut the cost, just go for Exide Invertor plus model 135ah battery, it comes around 10.5 K (single battery).
————————————————–
For inverter,
we recommend
Sukam shiny 1500 va Inverter (double battery inverter)
Sukam shiny would cost Rs.7500 to 8000 in local market, you can buy it for Rs.6600 online (cash on delivery)
Sukam shiny has 7 years warranty on transformer and 2years warranty on other parts.
Dear Kumar,
We recommend

With out any hesitation, you can go for Su-kam shiny 850 va pure sine wave inverter, it is one of the best model available in the market. with 7 years warranty on transformer and 2 years warranty on other parts.
Service network is very wide, no worries!
About battery,
If you find Exide IT500 expensive, you can go for Eastman ADDO Tubular inverter battery, good performing battery.

Dear Rajesh,
For your load preference and back time requirement, we would like to recommend
Luminous 875 va pure sine wave inverter – Rs.4700/-
+
Luminous ILTT 18048 (3 years full replacement warranty) – Rs.12,500/-
This combo will serve you better and last long!
Dear Rahul,
Without model name or number, we cannot come to a conclusion.
Yes, But do you know, there are so many other points to notice to choose the best inverter.
The Modern day inverters are DSP based smart inverters.
DSP- digital signal processor
Do any one care about the processor used in the Inverter ?
That’s the reason why we recommend some particular model inverters repeatedly.
Obviously those models are more reliable because of the build quality of the PCB and components used in the inverter.
Dear Jerin Jain,
We recomend
Luminous Eco Volt 900VA
and
Microtek UPS SEBz 850 VA inverter
Welcome!!!
Dear Praveen,
For your load preference, we recommend
Sukam shiny 850 VA or
Luminous Eco Volt 900 va pure sine wave inverter.
Inverter cost will be around Rs.5000/-
For battery we recommend
Exide Inva Master 150 ah tall tubular battery – Rs.12,000 approx.
First of all thanks for Providing Precious Information, God Bless you
I live in an urbanized village in Delhi’s outskirts and we get power cuts often, and the requirement is
3 Fans, 3 tube lights,
one 55 inches LED 3D TV
1 laptop
I want the power back up for at least 10-12 hours
Kindly suggest the best inverter and Battery for above requirements
and one more thing Kindly let me know if we run only 1 fan and 1 tube light so in that case this recommended inverter and battery will provide the back for how many Hours.
Waiting for your quick reply.
Thanks and Regards
N.Sharma
Dear Neeru Sharma,
We recommend Solar Hybrid inverter for your load preference and backup time requirement.
If you need 10 to 12 hours backup, i am sure the battery will not get enough charge the support the load for long time.
Here comes the solar panels, yes, if you add 250 or 400 watts solar panels to 1500 VA pure sine wave inverter connected with two 150 ah batteries, you can easily beat 12 hrs power cut and use all your preferred gadgets with out any interruption.
———————————-
If you are not interested in solar, and want to go for conventional power backup setup, we recommend
Exide 1450 VA pure sinewave double battery inverter
+
Two Exide Inva Master 150 AH short Tubular batteries
Total cost will not exceed Rs.30,000/-
Luminous eco volt 900 VA pure sinewave inverter is a good product, go for it!
For battery we recommend
Luminous 150 ah tall tubular ILTT18048
do advise –
for 2 computers and a laser printer : is Microtek 850 VA inverter and Amaron tubular 150 AH single battery sufficient
Dear Akuk,
For 2 Desktop PC’s with LCD monitor and a Laser Printer, we recommend
1500 VA Pure sinewave Inverter with 150 ah battery.
200 ah battery will be more compatible with 1500 VA Pure sinewave inverter.
Not all companies are manufacturing 1500 VA single battery pure sinewave inverter.
we recommend
Exide Premium Pure sinewave 1450 VA Inverter (12v) (single battery model)
Dear Binoy,
you can get this configuration for Rs.18000/-
It seems like your dealer quote is overpriced.
Dear Anandhi,
We recommend
Luminous Ecovolt 900 va Pure sine wave inverter
+
Luminous Tall tubular ILTT18048 battery – 150ah
OR
Exide Premium 850 va inverter pure sine wave – Rs.4500
+
Exide Inva Master tall tubular IM10000 – Rs.12000/-
Hello sir,
I am planning to buy inverter for home purpose, what i need to buy ,
here power cut is 8-9 hours everyday
my power load will be
2 X fan
led tv 32 inch
1 X tubelight
Can u kindly suggest me a inverter which can run everything i mention above and price details.
Dear Murali,
For your load preference i would recommend 900 VA pure sine
wave inverter with 150 ah battery.
But, for 8 to 9 hours power cut situation, a double battery 1450 va pure sine wave inverter would be more useful to handle the heavy power cuts.
Our Recommendation,
Exide Premium 24volt pure sine wave inverter + two 100 ah Exide Inva master tubular battery
ok thanks
Could you pls approve & reply to my earlier comment on this page? I desperately need ur advice.
U suggest in the article that buying both inverter & battery from same manufacturer isn’t advisable whereas ur recent comments suggest otherwise(Exide inv with InvaMaster battery or Luminous inv with ILTT). Could u pls explain.
Dear Ismail,
Buying a reliable product like Microtek Inverter is always recommended, but if you want to buy Microtek’s Battery along with Microtek Inverter……better you could reconsider your decision.
But, things have changed in recent years,
Top inverter manufacturers like Sukam and Luminous are also making good reliable tubular batteries,
In such case, you could choose same brand inverter and battery.
Hi,
I already have an Inverter in Home which i got 5 Yrs back. Its not a branded Inverter and slowly started facing Problems.

Dear Sir, my requirement is 2000VA pure sine wave inverter with two battery attachment. I am bit confused between Microtek SEBZ 2000 and Luminous cruze 2Kva. Some dealers saying that Luminous cruze is better bcoz it has copper transformer and some says microtek sebz 2000 is better in terms of after sale service. Please advice immediately. Thanks in advance.
Dear Monika Arora,

Dear Rahul,
Price quote looks reasonable.
But I would like to recommend Su-kam Falcon+ (1050VA) pure sine wave inverter for Exide IT500 battery.
From our Lab reports, following two models are more advanced than Microtek 850VA
Sukam Falcon+ and
Luminous Ecovolt 900VA Pure sine wave inverter
Particularly Sukam Falcon+ with automatic charge current adjusting function according to the battery temperature ensures long life for the tubular battery.
Price of Sukam Falcon+ …….. Rs.6099/- (online Price)
It is little bit expensive compared to 850 VA inverters, but it is worth it.

Dear Srikanth,
Don’t waste your money.
1100 va pure sinewave is enough for your load preference.
That automatic load calculator is a crap.
I’ve bought a semi tubular 150Ah exide battery and a 900va microtek inverter @ 14500 at hyderabad. Admin… Just want to know whether the shop overcharged me fo this.
Price is reasonable

Dear Rahul Sharma,
We recommend Luminous zelio 1100 VA inverter (price- Rs.5200)for your requirement. It charges your battery quickly with high charge current. Falcon Plus also do this quick charging job, but it is expensive(Rs.6100) compared to zelio.
For Battery, we recommend
Exide Inva master IM10000 – 150 ah tall tubular battery (30 Months + 6 months warranty)
and
Luminous ILTT 18048 tall tubular 150 ah battery ( 36 months full replacement warranty + 6 months prorata warranty

Dear Dinesh,
We recommend
Sukam Falcon Plus 1100 va inverter
+
Exide Inva master IM10000 tall tubular 150 ah battery
Falcon Plus brilliantly handles power fluctuation .
Yes, you can. But the charging time will be little longer. As long as you don’t face any intermittent power cuts, it is okay to use 200 ah batteries.
Dear Dinesh,
Better you choose luminous zelio 900 Va inverter instead of Falcon plus 700 , prices are almost same.
Luminious zelio is equally good as Falcon plus.
Once again thanks admin , luminous zelio 900 Va inverter alolng wit this can i go with LUMINOUS ILTT 18048 150AH TALL TUBULAR BATTERY or Exide Inva master IM10000 tall tubular 150 ah battery
Luminous ILTT 18048 tall tubular 150 Ah battery is best compatible with luminous zelio
Dear Dinesh,
If Luminious zelio 900 va is not available in your area, then it would be better to choose
Sukam Falcon plus 700 Va inverter
Or
Luminious Eco ‘volt’ 700 Va
Sir i want to buy ups
Which is best Luminous Zelio 1100 or Sukam falcon HBU
Dear Thomas,
We recommend luminous zelio 1100.
I saw sukam website
Sukam falcon HBU have 4star energy efficient technology to reduce EB bill.
What is the disadvantage in falcon HBU compare to luminus zelio 1100
Dear Thomas,
Falcon HBU is a High frequency transformer less technology
inverter, which is in beta level.
We need to wait one more year to confirm its reliability and longevity
Sir i wish to buy sukam ups but i am confused in choosing battery
Please tell me which one is best for sukam1100VA ups
exide IT500 150AH battery or sukam conquerior 150AH battery
Dear Thomas,
Sukam makes best in class inverters, but their batteries are not so popular. We can not compare sukam batteries with Exide.
Exide IT 500 is a premium tall tubular battery which is best seller and expensive one in premium tall tubular segment.
Dear i want to buy ups for my home
Which is best falcon+1100 or falcon++1100 or luminous zelio 1100
And battery which is best exide IT500 or luminous ILTT18048
In sukam falcon plus1100 ups (luminus zelio 1100) can i use 750w mixer griender

Is this correct decision?
I think this battery is high in quality and low in price
Hello sir,
I am planing to purchase Microtek SEBZ 900 + Exide IT 500 . Total load would be 5Nos Ceilling FAN, 5Nos CFL Lamp. Is it ok? Please confirm or suggest any better solution
Dear Khurshid,
When you choose to buy premium tubular battery like Exide IT500, we always recommend to buy premium inverters like Su Kam Falcon plus 1100 Va or Luminous zelio 1100 Va.
Is Exide IT500 150AH Battery compatible with 1100VA inverter?
Is Exide IT500 150AH Battery + 1100VA Inverter sufficient for 5Nos ceilling FAN & 5Nos CFL Lamp?
Should I go for Exide IT750 200AH battery+ 1100VA Inverter ?
Dear Khurshid,
1100 Va inverter is sufficient to handle your load.
Exide IT 500 is 100 % compatible with 1100 Va inverters.
Choosing between 150 Ah and 200 Ah battery.
If you need to use all your fans and lights concurrently during power cuts, better you go for 200 Ah battery with 1100 Va inverter for better battery back up and battery life.
Dear sir,
You have suggested to purchase Su Kam Falcon plus 1100 Va or Luminous zelio 1100 Va with 150AH to 200AH Battery for 5Nos FAN & 5Nos CFL. But I am getting 900VA instead of 1100VA. Could you please confirm the availability of 1100VA capacity in Su Kam Falcon plus series or Luminous zelio series.

Hello Admin,
we are already using MicroteK inverter(EB600) and Microtek Battery(Tubular – 140AH) for our home in Ghaziabad Uttar Pardesh and now we are planning to replace the battery as it is quite old and having very less backup with single Fan even. Power cut remains around 6-8hours daily in our area and our consumption is 2-Fan, 2-3 LED Bulb, Wi-fi Router and 1-TV, could you please suggest the best compatible battery which can provide good battery backup for coming summer…along with price range if possible.
Dear Kamna devi,
We would recommend Exide Inva master IM10000 150 ah Tall tubular battery for your requirement.
Hi
Thanks for the valuable inputs.
I am planning to buy an inverter. We are a small family of 4 members and have power cuts usually during summer time only. Usually its for 2-3 hrs but rarely it increases. We want to run 3 CFL, 2 tube lights, 3 fans, 1 fridge (inverter technology – frost free double door), 1 desert cooler, 1 LED 32 inch. Please advice the best inverter and battery.
Dear Samyah,
We recommend
Luminous zelio 1700 double battery 24 v inverter
+
Two Luminous red charge 200 Ah tall tubular batteries
This combo will cost you around ₹32000 approximately.
In that case, we would recommend
Luminous zelio 1100 (900va) 12v single battery inverter.
+
Luminous red charge 200 Ah tall tubular battery.
This combo would cost you around ₹17000 approximately.
Hi,

Suggest if any better deal available.

Hi Admin,
Would you recommend to go with APC850VA with Excide Inva master 150ah battery?

Hello Sir,
I have recently purchased Luminous 2KVA sine wave cruze inverter.Is this winding of this inverter made of copper or Aluminium?Also how is the performance of this inverter?
tell me price of sf sonic 700primap inverter
is this combination is good?
Luminous EcoWatt 1050 UPS Square Wave Inverter and Luminous 200AH RC 25000 Tall Tubular Battery (1 Nos.)
Yes it is!
But if you plan to connect your led Tv to inverter, better you go for pure sine wave inverter.

Hi Team,
Was searching for a site like this , too easy to understand! great job!
Query:
Nowadays we are facing frequent power cuts for 5 hours or more a day, So could you please suggest an inverter and battery separately for my below requirement:
2 Fans , 2-3 CFL or tube lights, 2 -3 plug points(Wi-Fi usage) , 1 smart Tv LED.
The challenge for me is I am currently at a rented house and I need to move to my own house in another 1 and a half years, so quick questions:
Can the same inverter be used over there in the new house with similar functionality.
The next challenge is if my builder provides me only plug point and light points backup , can still the same inverter be used to connect it to fridge and Tv points only , I am told that TV and fridge , microwave points are for sure wont be given inverter points in my new house, so my question is with his backup options with few points like bulb and fans , can I still use the same inverter for the other 2 things (at least) like TV , microwave , fridge?
Waiting for the answer eagerly!!!!
regards,
Prakash
Hi Admin,
I am using Luminous RC 18000 – 150 Ah Battery which is new. I was using amaron 1400 VA UPS to charge the battery which was broken while shifting the house.
As per your suggestion, we should not go for same company as i planned to buy luminous 1050 VA ups pure sine wave. Please suggest a good UPS for me which suits for the battery. We have 2 ceiling fans, 2 tubelights. Kindly let me know which service is good if any problem arises.
Thanks in advance.
