A solar battery is simply a
battery charged and stored with solar power or energy and discharges power or
solar electricity when needed. Solar batteries are rechargeable and used in
off-grid PV systems to store excess electricity for future use. Some categories
of solar battery banks use wet cells, whereas others use sealed or gel cell
batteries and both the categories of batteries have their different
requirements in terms of temperature, mounting, and ventilation.
Solar batteries are C10 rating
deep cycle batteries designed to connect with the best solar charge
controllers, inverters for providing power backup at night. Solar batteries are
designed in such a way to charge with the help of solar panels by collecting
sunlight in the day time. The solar battery and charger operate with its only
component like lead, which requires water top-up maintenance in 3-6 months.

Battery Backup Time, Warranty and its Price
The backup time of solar battery
depends upon its AH (Ampere Hour) and the higher the battery AH, the higher
will be the battery backup time. Generally, a 150 AH battery gives a backup of
around 3 hours on 400-watt power consumption. 150 AH is bestselling rating
battery especially in India, for example, it can last up to 3-4 hours if you
use LED lights, few ceiling fans, LED Television, mobile phones, and laptop
charging. For higher duration backup, one can go for those batteries which are
having higher AH.
The warranty for every solar
battery offers based on two aspects, i.e., Replacement Warranty and Pro-Rata
Warranty. In case, your battery fails, during the replacement warranty period,
the particular Brand is responsible to replace it with a new battery. And,
during the pro-rata warranty period, a new battery is offered at a discounted
price, known as buyback offer.
The solar battery price is most importantly, dependent on
its AH and Warranty. The other important factors which impact the cost of
batteries are Brand, replacement warranty offered on batteries, the capacity of
the battery measured in Ampere Hour (AH). The solar battery price in India is
uneven since 60% of batteries manufactured by local manufacturers, and the rest
40% captured by different brands.
