Types of V-Guard Inverter Batteries
V-Guard offers a wide range of inverter batteries designed to meet various power backup needs for homes, offices, and businesses.
1) Flat Plate (Lead‑acid)
What it is: Classic lead‑acid with flat positive/negative plates.
Best for: Light/occasional power cuts, smaller homes, backup < 2–3 hours.
Pros: Lower upfront cost, quick charging.
Cons: Shorter lifespan vs tubular; needs regular distilled water top‑ups.
Typical ratings: 100–150Ah, C20.
2) Tubular (Short Tubular)
What it is: Tubular positive plates; more robust than flat plates.
Best for: Moderate outages, homes/shops needing 3–5 hours backup.
Pros: Better deep‑discharge handling, longer life, lower maintenance.
Cons: Costlier than flat plate; slightly heavier.
Typical ratings: 135–180Ah, C20.
V‑Guard examples: VJ series (e.g., VJ 145/160).
3) Tall Tubular (Long Backup)
What it is: Taller container for more electrolyte; premium tubular build.
Best for: Frequent/long power cuts, 4–8+ hours backup, appliances + lighting.
Pros: Long service life, reliable deep‑cycle performance, good for high loads.
Cons: Higher price; taller form factor needs vertical space.
Typical ratings: 150–220Ah, C20.
V‑Guard examples: VT series (e.g., VT 165/200).
4) Maintenance‑Free / VRLA (SMF)
What it is: Sealed Valve‑Regulated Lead‑Acid; no topping up.
Best for: Apartments/offices that prefer zero maintenance and clean use.
Pros: No spills or fumes, no water top‑ups.
Cons: Generally shorter cycle life vs tall tubular in deep‑discharge use; higher cost per Ah.
Typical ratings: 100–150Ah (varies), C20.
How to Choose (Quick Checklist)
-
Outage pattern:
-
Rare/short → Flat Plate / Short Tubular
-
Frequent/long → Tall Tubular (VT series)
-
-
Backup hours needed: Higher hours → higher Ah (e.g., 180–220Ah).
-
Maintenance comfort: Prefer zero maintenance? → VRLA/SMF.
-
Solar use: Pick C10 solar tubular.
-
Space constraints: Tall tubular needs vertical clearance.
Common V‑Guard AH Options & Uses
-
135–150Ah: 2–4 fans + 6–8 lights + TV/router for moderate hours
-
165–180Ah: Add a fridge (efficient) or extend backup hours
-
200–220Ah: Longer outages, more appliances (avoid heavy loads like ACs on typical home inverters)
Tip: Always match the battery Ah and type (C10/C20) to your inverter capacity and usage.
Maintenance Tips (for flooded types)
-
Check electrolyte levels monthly; top up with distilled water only.
-
Keep terminals clean and tight; apply petroleum jelly to reduce corrosion.
-
Ensure proper ventilation; avoid deep discharges below ~20% regularly.
