Hi Guys,

I am going to buy Su-Kam 1400VA inverter and Exide 200ah battery.

I have three question.

1. Where should is put inverter in my home and do i need any trolley ?

2. If trolley is needed then for which material shoud i got for ? ( Plastic/Aluminum ).

3. How much backup does this setup with give me ?

More questions.

1. What is the difference between Exide Inverter Plus and Exide INVA Tubular ?

2. Today i talked to local dealer he is offering his own made Tubular Battery with 36 months replacement warranty. Should i go for it or not ?

3. Battery he is offering is 200ah for 10k. What do you guys think is it fare deal.

Add to above he is offering me free installation plus 3 year battery maintenance for free.

According to dealer Exide Inverter Plus is non-tubular battery.

He said Tubular battery is good with inverter.

Thanks in advance.

Just 200AH battery? With 1400VA go for atleast 1500.

Hmm about placement, keep it in some corner where you can periodically look at the H20 level.

you mean 1500ah, hmmm, i don't know we get such a battery.

I am going for Exide FEI0-IN2000PLUS that is 200ah battery.
 
i too have a sukam 1400va inverter fot the past 3yrs.but i hav 2 Exide FEI0-IN1500PLUS batts .r u only ptting 1 battery.
i have a plastic trolley but with the weight of the batts it is almost impossible to budge.
backup depens on usage.1 tv ,1fan and 1 tubelight work for more than 12hrs.i hav'nt tested it to failure point yet.

No, i am also planing to put two FEI0-IN2000PLUS battery.
Two battery is must for 1400va. Looks i will get fair enough backup.

So i think i have to search for aluminum based trolley.
 
Make sure you don't place the inverter and battery on the ground. I use a half inch thick wooden sheet, over which they are placed.
 
Hi Guys,

I am back with more questions.

well about the tubalar battery i heard it has a slightly longer life cannot confirm that my self,but whats the price difference for a similar 200AH capacity battery.

well according to their marketing team the tubular battery has 50%more charge/discharge cycles as much as 1000,so if u stay in a place that has constant power cuts then i guess u can go for the tubelar batteries.well i have seen normal non tubular battery if maintained well can last upto 5years.
 
In tubular battery there are different chambers and acid is stored in each of these which work differently and as far as 1400Va inverter is concerned then it definitely need 2 battery's as it cannot work on 1 and i'm having sukam 1400va with luminous batteries, it's silent but during charging fan is a bit noisy and i run my pc , tv , fans etc.on this without any probs..
 
I've used both local and company batteries but i prefer branded one's because they are reliable and don't lose 2 early as compared 2 local batteries which starts giving low voltage just after the usage of 6-12 months(u'll see the voltage will dim when there is powercut coz after months local batteries generate low voltage as compared to branded one's which are designed 2 last long).
Go for branded batterie's that's what i prefer they'll last long and will not give u trouble.

Hey,

I stay in pune.

Right now it one hour in morning and one hour in evening.

But last years it was 3 to 4 hrs continues.

So that why i want minimum 4 hrs of backup.

I think Exide tubular 165ah will do the job.

on an average load will be 2 fans, 2 tubes, 1 laptop and TV/PC.

What do you think ?
 
I got mine done recently got a Microtek inverter 875VA & MARS battery 175AH the backup is pretty good. They guy said I will get 2/3hours for 3 lights(CFL), 3 fans, TV & Laptop.

Hope that helps.
 
i think u should switch to cfl as using thbelights and fans together on inverters harms the fans.
going by my experience ur inverter will easily giv more than 5hrs backup for the load u quoted.

well from 165ah battery u may not be able to get a 4hr backup depending on ur pc configuration and tv type/size,btw if u change those tube lights to CFL u will get hell of lot more backup.

today i was checking the power consumption of various devices i checked a few tublights in my house and was shocked to see that they consume as much as 73watts,so change that to a CFL bulb from osram a 22 watts bulb should give almost the same light output as a tubelight.
again osram bulbs offer more lumens then philips and wipro bulbs that are available in india.
if u have a 21inch tv it will consume around 75watts at 50% brightness ,if u have a 32inch lcd in my case a sony at backlight set to minimum it will consume about 57watts.stbs will consume another 16 watts.

so better to save some energy consumption by using CFLs.since with just 2 tube lights and 2 fans ur load will be as high as 500va.
 
Thanks guys for your reply.

I settled my mind on Exide Inverter Plus 200ah Battery. It's costing me 12k for each. model no of battery : Exide FEI0-IN2000PLUS.
