Base Battery models – Some clarification
As ‘Base’ has very wide range of models for inverter application, normal consumers would get easily confused to select a right model that suits their requirement and budget.
So, we want to make it clear for our readers. Here we try to list out the Tall Tubular and Regular Tubular battery models available in ‘Base’.
Particularly, Here we deal with Two famous Models from Base – ‘Nebula’ and ‘Base Tuff’
