The Uninterrupted Power Suppy (UPS) and the Inverter are two mostly used power back up devices at home. They are used to run all the electrical and electronic devices like Computers, fans, lighting and all home appliances. Before buying UPS or Inverter you need to decide on how much power backup is required. The above factor also depends on the number of electrical equipments you are going to use in power backup. When there are more loads, more power will be sucked from the battery which leads to shorter life of inverter of UPS batteries. Few guidelines and tips are listed below to help increase the power back up for your inverter or UPS.
- A smaller battery will have shorter backup time.
- Use energy saving devices. CFL bulbs consume 75% less electrical energy compared to the ordinary bulbs. Furthermore, we can also use LED lights to reduce energy. LEDs are the most power saving light producing devices. Fans with better copper winding consume less power. Better wiring decreases resistance and helps us save power and also reduces the load in our backup.
- New gadgets and appliances are coming with the power saving techniques. They consume less energy compared to the old devices. The old devices are devoid of such options and consume more power compared to the new devices.
- Change the old batteries if they are worn out. Poor quality batteries do not last long, buy SLA batteries as they come in a enclosure and do not leak. Lithium Batteries are the most energy efficient batteries compared to all other types.
- Certain UPS contain built in batteries which can be connected to larger batteries for usage. Power inverters can be easily connected to larger batteries.
The above listed are the few guidelines to follow to increase the power backup in your UPS or inverter battery.
