# Major Drawbacks of Exide Battery App
However this ‘Exide Battery app’ has received accolades from normal users and battery dealers, we found some Glitches in this Exide App.
# In ‘inverter battery’ section, only very limited models are listed.
# No tubular battery models are listed in this app
# Famous Tubular battery models like ‘Inva tubular’ and ‘Inva Master’ are not listed
# Without listing this famous models, it is completely useless for users those who search for high quality tublular batteries.
# On clicking the ‘Read more’ option redirect us to Exide website. This is not recommended, all the information regarding any battery model should be displayed inside the app.
# Also I am looking forward for online purchase option in this app. Hope they will provide this option in future.
# No option for locating nearest dealer outlets. This is a critical issue in this app, without dealer details how people could buy the selected battery model?
Hope Exide Technical Team will rectify all the glitches listed above in its next app update in playstore.
Dear Neel Rawat,
If you want best Inverter and Best Battery available in
the market, we would recommend the following configuration.
Su-kam’s flagship inverter model – *Falcon + 1050 VA *single battery pure sine wave inverter with automatic temperature compensation technology which adjust the charge current according to the battery temperature and enhances the battery life significantly.
This function also eliminates the need for water topping the battery frequently.
check the online price here https://upsinverterinfo.com/recommends/sukam-falcon
For Battery,
We strongly reommend Exide IT500 , premium tall tubular battery with high charge current acceptance up to 21 amp, whereas other tall tubular batteries could accept the charge current of only 16 amp. Exide is Better than APC, and has better service network allover India.
Very useful information, i tried this app and found it useful to by business.
Hi admin, thank you for this wonderful and informative site. I am planning to buy an inverter for home use with around 10 tube lights, 5 fans, 1 high end PC, 1 TV. I have decided on APC Home ups 1500 va BI1500SINE-IN (+) 2 (two) exide IT 500 invatubular 150 ah tall batteries.
I would like to ask if the said combo is one that you would recommend?
P.S. can refrigerators be used with inverters?
Dear Aonok,
Sukam has launched falcon plus 1600 va 24volt
inverter recently. If it is available in your area, i would recommend to go for it.
It is most advanced home inverter available in the market with lot of customizing options.
If it is not available in your area, then go for APC, no problem, it is good combo.
I would not recommend to use refrigerator with 24v two battery inverter as it would drastically affect your backup time.
But in case of emergency, you could use it.
Hello admin, thank you for your response. As per your recommendations I have ordered the falcon plus 1600. I will trouble you with a couple of questions again, I will be grateful for your reply.
1. My tv is a CRT so is it advisable to use it with the inverter and the 2 exide it 500 batteries?
2. Can I use a normal electric iron?
3. I intend to keep the set up in a 6ft by 6ft room with a ventilator and a window, is that ok?
4. Any advise on how to maintain the batteries to keep it from premature failure?
Keep up the good work and thanks again.
Dear Aonok,
You can use CRT tv with 1600 va pure sine wave inverter, no problem.
Do not try to use your electric iron with inverter. Not recommended.
Regularly topup the battery with distilled water. Apply petroleum jelly to the battery terminals to avoid corrosion.
Hi Admin,
I was so impressed by the detailed answers that being posting on this site and they very detail in nature. They are pretty informative for any one who wants to migrate ( partly or fully ) off the grid. Really appreciate your time and patience here. I’m pretty sure most of the other users do feel the same.
There is one question I would like ask,
What is cost estimation to run a 1 HP motor ( water motor being used to pump bore water to a tank located at 4 th floor ) on solar.
