With the onset of summer, the problem of power cut becomes common and in such a situation, the inverter becomes an essential part of every home. But have you ever wondered whether the inverter battery is working properly or not? Actually, many people do not understand when to put water in the battery. The result is that gradually the battery starts to deteriorate and the power backup decreases.
Why is water necessary in the battery?
The water in the inverter battery is not ordinary water, it is distilled water i.e. clean and mineral-free water. Its job is to maintain the chemical reaction inside the battery, so that the battery can be charged and can supply electricity when needed. If this water decreases, the battery starts getting dry and its performance keeps falling.
This is where the mistake happens, people do not fill water at the right time
Most people open the battery when the inverter stops giving backup or there is a problem in charging. But by then it is too late. There is a right time to put water in the battery and if it is followed, the battery works properly for years.
So when should water be put? Know the timing
If there are less power cuts in your area and the inverter is not used much, then checking the water level of the battery once every 2-3 months is enough. On the other hand, if the inverter runs for hours every day in summer, then definitely check the level every 1 to 1.5 months. There is a mark on every battery, Minimum and Maximum. If the water goes below the minimum, then immediately add distilled water. Keep in mind, the water should neither be too much nor too less, it should just be between the two marks.
Keep these things in mind, otherwise damage is certain
Always use distilled water. Tap water can damage the battery. While checking the battery, always wear gloves and glasses. If the battery is getting too hot, get it checked by an expert without any delay. Do not open the battery cover unnecessarily. Finally, one piece of advice: take care of the battery and use electricity without worry..jpg)
