As you all know that summer is coming, usually these days electricity power cut problems come due to heavy consumption, strong thunderstorms and rain. The worst of these situations are seen in the village because this situation has been handled to a great extent in the cities.
Why People are Installing Battery?
For better understanding, we collect different types of opinion on this topic, so let's understand...
Rajesh Kumar, who is a resident of the district Garhwa (गढवा) of Jharkhand state, says that we only get electricity for 3 to 4 hours during summer time. Another consumer, who hails from district Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh says that an electric transformer was burnt in his village 2 days ago, due to which electricity was not available for many days and a problem has also arisen from a resident of Bangalore, Karnataka that they have already battery which gives only 1 to 2 hours backup, so what should be done.
Therefore, after reading all this, you must have realized the main problem. The problem for every other person is how to use the necessary electrical equipment such as fans, bulbs, mobile charging, water pumps, etc. So the only solution to all problems is power backup storage. That is, in the absence of electricity, electrical devices can be operated with the help of a battery bank.
So in this blog, we will talk in-depth about every information related to the solution to this problem, which will be very helpful in buying, maintaining and replacing a battery.
How to Choose Solar Battery for Home?
If a battery is used in your home, is your battery giving a good backup or are you thinking of buying a new battery? So, here we will tell you some basic checklist, which is very important to keep in mind while purchasing the battery. All the necessary points are mentioned below:-
#1. Types
There are three types of batteries available in the market such as, Lead Acid, Solar Battery, and Lithium Battery. Lead Acid & Solar Battery are easily available in the online and offline market. You should know the advantage and disadvantages of both types of battery, and then decide which battery your pocket allows & also good for your home.
#2. Backup Time
If we run the battery at 100% home load then the average backup time of any battery is 4-5 hours. The simple formula for identifying the capacity of a battery is Battery's Capacity * Volt / Home Loads.
For example, if we have a 150Ah battery in my house, then the total storage of battery is 150Ah * 12V = 1800Watts. You should also know about the efficiency of the battery is up to 70%.
That means we can use 1800 Watts * 70% = ~1300 Watts. If I run 300 Watts loads (such as fans, lights, coolers, refrigerator, etc.), then our battery will run 4 to 5 hours.
#3.Charging Time
After a backup time, charging time is also the most important factor that we should know of any battery. At present, the average Charging time of a battery is almost 9 to 10 hours. In the future, the charging time will be hardly 3 to 4 hours. So, you need a very sufficient solar panel and solar inverter to charge the battery.
#4. Warranty
If we talk about the warranty available on solar batteries, then two options available in the market, 3 years and 5 years. In both types of warranties, the company offers replacement on the battery.
#5. Maintenance & Life expectancy
The battery needs maintenance from time to time so that the power backup and life of the battery is prolonged. The battery has a water level indicator so that we can easily find the water level of the battery. Generally, we refill battery water (acid) once or twice a year. If we do not refill the battery water, the battery cells will harden and the battery will stop working.
#6. Price
The price of the battery also depends on the capacity of the battery and the years of warranty service on the battery. We know very well that national and local manufactures also manufacture batteries, but how do we know that we are paying the right amount for the right product. If you think of a long time investment in a battery, then you should thoroughly verify the manufacture of the battery. So, now you can go to the online or offline store of Loom Solar and compare the prices of different brand battery manufacturers.
Different Type of Batteries
1. Lead Acid: Lead acid batteries are the most common solar batteries. They have electrodes which are grids of metallic lead containing lead oxides. The composition, that created by lead oxides, helps in charging & discharging this battery.
2. Solar Battery: The solar battery is a very important part of the solar system. Because the capacity of the solar system is measured by the battery power. Solar battery works as a power bank in a solar system. Solar batteries use three electrodes, while normal batteries use only two electrodes. Solar batteries are costly compared to normal batteries, but they are very useful for maintenance and long-lasting. The normal lifespan of solar batteries is also 5 to 15 years.
3. Lithium Battery: In this type of battery, electrodes are made of lightweight lithium and carbon. & Lithium batteries are made up of several cells. Lithium batteries can be used comfortably in place of lead-acid batteries because the charging voltages of both are almost the same.
What are the difference among Normal Battery, Solar Battery & Lithium Battery?
There are many differences between normal batteries & solar batteries, some of the basic fundamental differences are as follows:
