TO
A PRESENTATION
FROM
EXIDE
ON INVERTER BATTERIES
What is a battery ?

A BATTERY IS AN ARRAY OF
SIMILAR ELECTRICAL STORAGE
CELLS
What is an Electrical Storage Cell?

AN ELECTRICAL STORAGE CELL CONSISTS OF TWO DISSIMILAR

ELECTRODES IMMERSED IN AN ELECTROLYTE.

IT STORES ELECTRICAL ENERGY IN FORM OF CHEMICAL

ENERGY.

WHEN THE CIRCUIT IS MADE BETWEEN ITS POSITIVE &

NEGATIVE ELECTRODES, THERE IS A CHEMICAL
REACTION IN THE CELL AND IT DELIVERS ELECTRICITY
-DIRECT CURRENT (D.C) THROUGH THE CIRCUIT.

Classification of Lead Acid Battery
on the basis of Plate Construction
Positive Plates are of basically three types
•Flat Pasted
•Tubular
•Plante

Negative Plates are always

Flat pasted type of construction
Why do we need three different types of
Positive Plates ?
Flat Pasted Plate
Antimonial Lead Alloy
Grid Structure on which
the Active Material is
pasted.
The grid also enables
conduction of electricity

•THIN PASTED PLATES ARE EXCELLENT FOR

CRANKING APPLICATION (CAR)
•THICKER PLATES WITH IMPROVISED DESIGN ARE
USED FOR STANDBY APPLICATION
Tubular Plate

ARMOURED PLATES WHICH RETAIN ACTIVE

MATERIAL (IN POWDER FORM) INSIDE THEM.

Advantages of Tubular Plate

1. GAUNTLET TUBES ENSURE NO SHEDDING

2. BETTER UTILISATION OF ACTIVE MATERIAL

3. LOWER RATE OF CORROSSION OF THE SPINES SURROUNDED

BY ACTIVE MATERIAL

4, BEST FOR CYCLING DUTY

5. MOST ROBUST IN ABUSIVE SERVICE CONDITIONS LIKE HIGH

TEMPERATURE , FREQUENT DEEP DISCHARGES ETC.
 Function of a Battery in
an Inverter

O
I

Converter . Inverter
Battery
THE MAIN FUNCTION OF THE BATTERY IS TO ENSURE
UNINTERRUPTED AND REGULATED POWER AT OUTPUT DURING
MAINS FAILURE OR DIP IN THE INPUT VOLTAGE
What do we expect from an Inverter
Battery?
•Reliability
•Zero or Low Maintenance
•Abuse Resistant
Common Abuses - Frequent Deep Discharges
High Ambient Temperature
Irregular Maintenance
•Long Life
• Zero emission of gases
•Low footprint
•No Acid nuisance
•Value for Money
What makes a battery Low
Maintenance?

• Low Antimony Alloy

• Microporous Ceramic vent Plug
• Tall Container
– higher acid head room
– huge electrolyte reservoir
How Ceramic Vent Plug Works?

What makes a battery Abuse
Resistant?

• Tubular Plate with special gauntlet tubes

• Patented Active Material
• Special Separators
• High Volume of Electrolyte
What makes an Inverter battery
truly Maintenance Free?

VRLA Technology

(specially made for Indian Condition)
