How To Know when your tubular battery needs maintenance
To know when your tubular battery needs maintenance, watch for these common signs and indicators:
- Low Backup Time
If your battery is not lasting as long as it used to, it could mean:
Electrolyte levels are low and needs to be topped up.
The battery is not charging fully.
- Battery Taking Too Long to Charge
A healthy battery usually charges within the expected time range.
If charging is too slow, there may be internal sulfation or a damaged cell.
- Electrolyte Level is Low
Check the water level in each cell (if it’s not a sealed maintenance-free battery).
Use only distilled water to top it up.
Low water levels cause overheating and reduce battery life.
- Overheating During Use or Charging
Excessive heat may indicate overcharging, short circuit or internal resistance.
Could damage the battery extensively if not checked.
- Inverter Beeping or Warning Lights
Many inverters give alerts when battery voltage is too low or charging isn’t normal.
Don’t ignore frequent alerts—Call an expert to inspect the battery.
Routine Maintenance Tips
- Check electrolyte level every 2–3 months.
- Ensure good ventilation around the battery.
- Avoid deep discharges; recharge promptly after use.
- Get professional servicing every 6–12 months.
