Perform preventive maintenance ideally once a month.
  • Check electrolyte levels.
  • Add only distilled water to the level indicated.
  • While working wear eye protection for safety.
  • Tighten loose battery terminal clamps, cables etc.
  • Replace any battery cables that are corroding or swelling
  • Select a battery that match the specifications of your charging system and application.
  • Select battery with CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) performance that will meet or exceed the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation
  • Look for more Reserve Capacity (RC) or Amp Hours (AH) capacity.
  • Warranty and Replacement policies of the manufacturer.
  • Protect your car battery from high underhood temperatures
  • Periodically check the State-of-Charge of car batteries.
  • Reduce the average DoD (Depth-of-Discharge) and the number of discharge/charge cycles.
  • Turn off all unnecessary accessories and lights before starting your car to decrease the load on the battery while cranking
Have adequate ventilation, lighting and wear safety glasses for eye protection.
  • Before jump starting, please read the vehicle manufacturer manuals for specific instructions.
  • In cold climate ensure that the electrolyte is Not frozen in the dead battery.
  • Connect the positive clamp to the positive terminal post on the donor battery.
  • Connect the negative booster cable to a clean, unpainted area on the engine block or frame on the disabled vehicle.
  • Start the disabled vehicle and allow it to run at high idle.
  • Once the engine starts, disconnect the jumper cables in the reverse order.
You may return your old batteries to automobile service stations, battery manufacturer, battery retailers or specified recycling centers.
An inverter is a power conversion and supplying device which takes DC (Direct Current) power stored usually in batteries or solar and to convert it into AC (Alternating Current) in the event of power failure to run household's various electrical equipments and electronic appliances. On the normalization of power it reverse the process and use regular power and charges the batteries.
The amount of current battery provides over a period of time is called battery capacity. If a battery can provide one ampere (1 A) of current (flow) for one hour it has a real world capacity of 1 Ah. If it can provide 1 A for 100 hours, its capacity is 100 Ah.
For example, if your battery has a 90 hour amp rating, you should be able to run the 400 watt continuous load for approximately 2 hours. The higher the amp hour rating on your battery, the longer the battery will last.
Tubular battery which has lead acid tubes has better life span compared to flat plate one that has lead acid plates. The average life span of a tubular battery with proper maintenance could be upto 7–8 years and that of flat plate battery 3–4 years.
The equipments required to generate electricity from solar are:
  • One or more Solar Panels.
  • Charger Controller or Inverter.
  • Batteries for storing and delivering regular power.
You save handsome amount on your electricity bills:
  • You save money because you power the electrical load through solar and do not take anything from grid.
  • You can make money by selling surplus energy to your state electricity board.
Very little maintenance is required for Solar panels that have a long life of about 25 years. Regular cleaning of solar panels to remove dust and grime will ensure maximum production. Inverters may be needed to be replaced every 10 years.
12 to 15 square meter space in sunlight is required to install panel to provide 1kw electricity. To ensure maximum productivity the panels should not be under shadow during daytime.
Battery would take around 8-10 hrs. to charge with a 12A charger.
How long the battery lasts, depends on a number of things like:
  • Kerb weight of the vehicle.
  • The Battery Capacity
  • Load on the vehicle
  • Driving Conditions
The range of the vehicle Fitted with a 100Ah capacity battery can be 90-110km/ full charge.
