Inverter Battery Care Tips: Even in 2025, load shedding is still a common problem in many parts of the country. Especially in the summer, the problem of power outages increases manifold. In such a situation, it is important to have an inverter at home or in the office. However, proper maintenance of the inverter battery is very important so that the inverter can work well for a long time. In particular, it is important to check the water level of the battery on time and provide distilled water as needed.
Why is water needed in inverter batteries?
A large part of the electrolyte in inverter batteries is made up of water and acid. This water evaporates during use. As a result, if the water in the battery decreases, its performance decreases and the battery can be damaged.
How often should you check the water level of the battery?
If used less: If the inverter is used very little, that is, there is more electricity in the area, then the water level of the battery should be checked once every 2-3 months.
If used more: If there is more load shedding and the inverter is used regularly, then it is important to check the water level once every 1-1.5 months.
How do you know when it is time to water the battery?
Every inverter battery has a minimum (MIN) and maximum (MAX) level mark. If the water level drops below MIN, then you know that the battery needs water now. However, never pour more water than MAX, as this can damage the battery. Only distilled water should be used in the battery. Always maintain safety while watering the battery. Wear gloves and open the battery cap properly to check the water level.
