The price in delhi is 5100 Rs for the Inverter and 10800 Rs for the battery. Is the inverter and battery good and the battery is especially cheaper as compared to Exide IT500 which is retailing for 13500. So want your opinion if vguard inverter and battery are of good quality in the long run. Have to purchase soon so kindly tell me if you have any reviews as the website doesnt talk about this brand.
Thanks and regards,

Dear Pradeep,
V Guard has good reputation in stabilizer manufacturing industry. Their Pure sine wave inverters are good and affordable.
Make sure that your dealer offering Pure sine wave model v guard ‘DU series’ inverter, there is a pseudo sine wave model with name “Ei Power series’.
Price of V guard DU series Pure sine wave inverter 800VA model (Rs.5100/-) in Delhi is some what okay, but we recommend you to broaden your search for inverters.
Some recommendations for inverter (pure sine wave)
Sukam Shiny 850 VA
Sukam Falcon 800 VA
Microtek UPS SEBz850VA
APC BI850SINE 850 VA
All the above models are successful and most reliable in current market
All models listed above costs around Rs.5000/- in Delhi (If you bargain you could get 500 rupees discount on this)
After sale support is good for the above brands.
—————————————————
You are from Delhi and you have so many options to choose between, why don’t you try some other brand for Battery?
Some more options other than Exide IT500
Sukam Tall Tubular 150 ah
Base Tall Tubular
Amaron Current Tall Tubular
Hello,
Thank you for the prompt response. I am looking to spend around 15000 Rs for the inverter and battery. So had shortlisted Vguard.
Yes I had Exide IT500 in mind but it was around 3000 Rs expensive as compared to vguard. I think Base will also will be expensive and wont be in the range of 11000 Rs.
I am also looking at SuKam inverter and battery also. What is the difference between Sukam shiny and falcon range of inverters?
How do you compare Sukam tall tubular 150 Ah battery and Amaron tall tubular battery.
Any review on Vguard tall tubular battery such as quality and longevity.
Thanks and regards.
Pradeep.
Dear Pradeep,
If budget is a constrain, you can go with V guard battery, We just suggested some models which last long more than your preferred model.
Life expectancy of Both sukam Tall tubular and Amaron Current Tall tubular is 4.5 years at normal conditions.
Both sukam and Amaron Tall tubular 150 ah batteries costs Less than Rs.12000/-
Thank you for replying back. Vguard is not my preferred or favorite brand rather it has a good name in stabilizer and other products so felt I could get some information about their inverter and especially their battery.
I will look at SuKam inverter and battery now as well as Amaron.
Forgot to ask you about Whirlpool Gold series sinewave inverter 800 Va. How is their quality and any long term review on them as I am also looking at it now.
Sorry for asking so many questions back to back and thanks for taking out time answering all the questions.
Dear Pradeep,
We would give 4 stars to both v guard and whirlpool inverters.
Which Sine Wave Inverter and battery shall you recommend for a 300 Watts Solar Panel Installation? What shall be the overall cost.
Hello
I had installed DU 1000 smart inverter in my home 2.9 years back. But two days back (by deep midnight at around 2:30 AM) it get damaged showing errors ‘Short circuit / High Temperature’. On contacting your Service Center, they are asking me to replace it with a new one as it is an irrecoverable PCB complaint.
I feel bad as I totally believed that VGuard is a reputed dependable company and their products have good quality and long lasting. My retailer also convinced me that even though company offers only 2 yrs warranty, it will work flawlessly for next 10 yrs minimum and he too can guaranty it…..!
But just after 9 months of warranty, my inverter get damaged with a severe PCB issue… And most alarming, there is no beep sound or such alarms to indicate that the device is getting heated dangerously….This time nothing happened because of good luck…(I believe…)
Kindly advice what should I do next? Do I need to purchase another VGuard inverter or go for some other company’s product? If you suggests VGuard again, what will be the best one?
