Difference between BESS and Online UPS

2000_3500

An online UPS and a battery energy storage system (BESS) provide backup power in a power outage, but they work differently.

Online UPS

An online UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a type of UPS that provides continuous, uninterrupted power to connected devices. It uses a rectifier to convert incoming AC power to DC power stored in a battery. The battery is then used to power an inverter, which converts the DC power back to AC power. This means that the connected devices always receive power from the Inverter, and the battery is always working.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

Battery Energy Storage System

A battery energy storage system (BESS) is a system that stores energy in batteries. This energy can then be used to provide backup power in the event of a power outage, or it can also store energy from solar power if it has the provision. The BESS is the latest technology developed for backup purposes, and it has isolation power in case the transformer technology makes it.

Comparison between Online UPS and BESS

High Frequency-based Online UPS is made through the circuitry where triple conversion technology wastes a lot of energy, and the battery constantly remains in the picture, reducing the battery life. At the same time, the BESS passes the power through the isolation transformer, which gives the isolation to the Computers and transfers to the battery mode when the Power outage happens.https://suvastika.com/bess-battery-energy-storage-solutions/

Voltage Range: In the Online UPS, the Input voltage range is 180 V to 265 Volts, a very small range for countries with high power fluctuations. The output Voltage is always 220V+/—1%. This does not make any sense in today s world as most IT products like computers and Wi-Fi routers come with 110 V to 260 V. Still, we are giving 220 to the computer and using online UPS, which was the requirement of computers made initially, which were designed on transformer-based technology so needed 220V. The major challenge is the Input voltage range is 180 to 260 volts which is the major challenge for online UPS. The moment voltage goes below 180V, the battery will come into the picture, so when the power outage happens, the battery is already consumed, so there is no backup time in case of power failure. So in the case of BESS, the voltage range is wide, like 140 Volts to 265 Volts which is the safer limit for the IT loads and switches the power to battery mode. If this voltage range is violated

Charging time The charging time for online UPS is at least 8 hours to charge the battery, and for Online UPS battery keeps on discharging as well to keep the voltage to 220Volts. So the battery is hardly charged fully. But in the case of BESS, the battery is charged in 2 to 3 hours, and BESS is ready to Power the computers and IT equipment always.

Backup time In the case of Online UPS, the backup time will always be lesser than the BESS as the Lithium battery is charged faster than the SMF battery.

Switching time In the case of online UPS, there is zero switching time which keeps the computers and IT peripherals running in case of power failures. Our BESS also has a switch over time of fewer than five milliseconds which cant switch the computers, and IT loads switch in case of power failure.

Life of the battery In the case of Online UPS, the battery life is generally 12 to 18 months, reducing the backup time, and the user changes it when it gives 2 to 5 minutes of backup time. The Lithium battery’s life is ten years, and the warranty provided is three years minimum.

IOT-based BESS The BESS can monitor and control it through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-based mobile applications, whereas the Online UPS works on old SNMP technology.

Summary

The table below summarizes the key differences between online UPS and battery energy storage systems:

FeatureOnline UPSBattery Energy Storage System
Continuous powerYesyes
PriceMore expensiveLess expensive
Protection against power surgesyesyes
ApplicationsCritical applications, such as data centres or hospitals Critical applications, such as data centres or hospitals

Which one is right for you?

The best choice for you will depend on your specific needs. BESS is the best choice if you need continuous, uninterrupted power for critical applications, voltage variations are in your area, and you need more backup time.

The Benefits of Replacing Gensets with Lithium-based Battery ESS

Electronic Genset Su-vastika

What are The Benefits of Replacing Gensets with Lithium-based Battery ESS? Clean energy solutions are the priority of every Govt, and Su-vastika has always strived to make it happen. Su-vastika is a Government of India Recognized Star Export House in Gurugram, India. The company has recently announced the launch of its Electronic Genset, which is dubbed “Power on Wheels.” https://suvastika.com/diesel-generator-vs-ess-which-solution-is-best-in-todays-climate/

It is a pollution-free and much more cost-effective replacement for traditional diesel generators.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_power

The company has installed its electronic genset in their Gurugram-based manufacturing facility as a real-life example, successfully powering the entire factory. The installed electronic genset, which also serves as the best demo for the intended purpose, successfully runs loads of 100 KVA, including capacitive, resistive, and mixed loads.

One of the key features of Su-vastika’s Electronic Genset is its customization capabilities. The capacity can be increased or decreased per the individual’s needs. Even after the installation, the duration of its Electronic Genset can be increased or decreased by reducing the load or increasing the battery capacity. The lithium battery gets charged in 4 to 5 hours completely, so in case of intermittent power cuts, it charges quickly and is ready to give back up again.

Because Su-vastika’s Electronic Genset uses reliable and proven Lithium batteries, the life cycle of the battery is expected to last for 5 to 7 years, depending on the power cuts.

This Electronic Genset is super-clean, with no hanging wires. It is completely safe, as there is no flammable diesel to deal with or worry about electric shocks. It looks good and takes up much less space, making it suitable for even the tightest corners.

Electronic Genset

Users can plug in and forget.  For over a decade, su-vastika Electronic Genset can easily handle all your power needs.

Over time, Suvastika’sElectronic Genset will be much more cost-effective than a diesel generator. 

Because no matter the load, a diesel generator will always use a set amount of fuel, while our Electronic Genset reduces the consumption when the load is decreased. Running on electricity charges takes one-fourth of the cost compared to diesel pricing for running the same load. With no maintenance required, it will keep adding to the savings for years.

This system can run on the Solar as well by adding an MPPT Solar charge controller with the solar panels, and this system is designed to add Solar without making any changes in the system.

Su-vastika’s Electronic Genset will undoubtedly bring a massive shift in how we generate and store power. 

The Benefits of Replacing Gensets with Lithium-based Battery ESS are beyond doubt.

Solar Hybrid PCU with Bluetooth

First Solar Hybrid PCU with Bluetooth based mobile application lunched by Su-vstika. This is the Solar PCU with Bluetooth application which can be represented with the mobile app very easily as it has so many settings and scenarios to understand and for the common man it’s very tough to understand Solar PCU without the mobile application.

bluetooth pcu app

Let us try to understand the Solar Hybrid PCU first. We call it solar hybrid PCU because it has the off Grid Solar along with the Grid power which is use to charge the battery. in off grid solar application the battery is being charged through the solar and there is no grid present so the solar energy is only use to power the house and appliances. Where as the Solar Hybrid PCU the grid is also available and the solar is also available and how this Solar Hybrid PCU works can be shown through the animation and the mobile application very easily.

So in the first scenario we are showing that  the grid is not available and the solar energy is available and battery is being charged through the solar and load is also running on the solar. We have to understand that if the load is lesser than solar energy than only battery will be charged in this case. So the solar energy is flowing through the battery while charging and discharging the battery simultaneously as the solar power is always connected through the battery only in case of the Hybrid Solar PCU.https://suvastika.com/benefits-of-bluetooth-hybrid-solar-pcu/

battery reserve settings

This is another scenario where the battery got fully charged and solar power is also available than our solar hybrid PCU will cut the grid power and utilise the solar power so that the solar power doesnt get wasted. In this scenario there will be possibility of battery being charged and the load is running or battery is being discharged along with the solar power to run the load. It depends on the power being utilized by the load if house load is lesser than the solar power available than the solar power will charge the battery and supply the power to the home. But if the house has more load than the solar power available than the solar power along with the battery power will run the house load so in this case battery will be discharging.https://suvastika.com/what-is-hybrid-solar-pcu-solar-hybrid-off-grid-system/


In another scenario both the grid Power is also available and the solar power is also available than the Grid power will be running the house load and the solar power will charge the battery. There can be two scenarios in this if the solar power is enough to charge the battery than it will only chaarge the battery but if it is not enough power to charge the battery than the battery will be charged from both sources from the grid and from the solar power also.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_power

Solar PCU line diagram

Solar PCU Scenario

Another scenario is that Grid is available and solar is not available in that case the battery will be charged and Grid power will be running the load. Mostly it will be the night mode or a cloudy day and battery be kept will be kept charged through the grid so that in case the grid fails than back up is given by the battery.

Comparison between Online UPS and Lift Inverter/Lift UPS/ERD

Lift Inverter/ERD with lithium battery

What is the Comparison between Online UPS and Lift Inverter/Lift UPS/ERD? When installing a power backup for the lifts and escalators, there is always a suggestion to install the Online UPS as people feel that there is a switching time to remove when the power goes and come back. So here we have made a technical comparison of how the Online UPS and Lift Inverter/ERD technology is different from each other in the case of installing the backup for the lifts.https://techbullion.com/what-makes-erd-ups-better-than-online-ups/ We at Su-vastika filed 3 Technology patents and got one patent because we worked on the lift backup technology and kept improving the lift backups.https://suvastika.com/whats-lift-inverter-and-compare-with-lift-ups/

Lift pic

Lift picture

  1. The Online UPS is designed for computer, and IT loads as the load is almost fixed, so they get very high efficiency. In contrast, the 3-phase Induction motors used in lifts have a varying load as the load varies when the lift moves in upward and downward conditions, so the load varies drastically. Hence, the power factor in the online UPS varies, which creates a big electricity bill for the online UPS as well the battery life is reduced since the battery is always functional in the case of Online UPS.
  2. Especially the High-Frequency triple conversion online UPS has a big electricity consumption in case they are used in lifts. Since there is no isolation transformer, they are prone to high failure as the induction motor creates a lot of jerks, spikes, and surges, which the three-phase triple conversion technology can’t handle without the isolation transformer.
  3. The backup time with the same battery bank will be lower than the Lift Inverter/ERD as the inverter efficiency is very high, even if the load varies from 10% to 100%. In contrast, the Online UPS efficiency depends on the percentage of load percentage.
  4. The online UPS converts the power from the AC to DC and again to AC power which needs constant consumption of power as the power conversion creates losses also; at the same time, it charges and discharges batteries, whereas the Lift Inverter/ERD is only using the power, for charging from the ERD and once the battery is charged it stops so after that no power is being consumed.
  5. The Lift Inverter/ERD only activates in the battery mode when the power goes. Still, the Online UPS always consumes power through the mains and batteries to regulate the power to make it a constant voltage not required by the lifts.
  6. The switching time in the Lift Inverter/ERD is less than three milliseconds, which is enough to take the lift load without any jerk, a patented technology developed by Su-vastika in India.
  7. Since the lifts don’t have any jerks etc. so the ECU is connected through the RS485 at the back of the ERD system and which gives a signal inside the lifts to tell the passenger travelling in the lift whether he is using mains power or battery power and in case of the low battery of lift the lifts are stopped at a floor. Doors are being opened, and lifts don’t work after that.
  8. The ERD technology has the future capability of solar compatibility as the external solar charge controller can be added to the ERD system, which will allow the normal ERD backup system to solar based ERD system which can run the lifts and elevators completely on the solar power and save the substantial power bills.
  9. The most crucial point is online UPS is designed for 180-265 Volts, so the moment the voltage reduces by 180 V, the battery is being used for the back. In that case, the battery is mostly used for stabilizing the voltage, and when the electric cut takes place, there is hardly any back left. Also, 265 Volts is very common in India, so the battery will mostly be used for this purpose rather than for power cuts.
  10. The companies design lifts on 3 phase, which has a wide voltage range and can work on the voltage range of 370-450Volts which is a range under which it works properly, whereas the Online UPS range for 3 phase has a limited voltage range and always try to give 220V+/- 1%, which is not required by the lifts and Escalators. The power consumption from the grid and the battery are required to make this voltage, which creates extra power bills and reduces the battery life; when we make the comparison between Online UPS and the Lift Inverter/Lift UPS/ERD, then we realize that they are not comparable at all.

Lift Inverter with battery bank

Lift Inverter/ERD with a battery bank.

11. The Lift Inverter/ERD can be run on a Lithium battery to increase the life of the Lift Inverter/ERD. Online UPS works on Lead acid-based SMF or Tubular batteries. The space taken by the Lithium and SMF batteries and the life and weight comparison is impossible.

12. The Lift Inverter/ERD designed by Su-vastika can monitor and control the ERD through the IOT devices like GSM and Wi-Fi having the mobile application. We can see all the parameters, like voltages in all three phases and the load on all three phases etc.

13. Digital Warranty Online UPS does not have the Digital Warranty. Generally, it comes with one year warranty where. In contrast, we at Su-vastika have a Digital warranty in all our product ranges and offer a two-year warranty without any warranty card as the product has a built Digital warranty clock.

Conclusion: The Comparison between Online UPS and Lift Inverter/Lift UPS/ERD clearly shows that Online UPS is not meant to carry backups.

Tubular Lead Acid Battery Health Hazards in Inverter/UPS Industry

What are the Tubular Lead Acid Battery Health Hazards in Inverter/UPS Industry? People using Tubular Lead Acid batteries at homes and offices are not aware of the consequences regarding the health hazards of these Tubular Lead Acid batteries used in homes, offices, and other institutions.

When they charge and discharge, the Ttubular Lead-acid batteries create a lot of fumes which are healed knowingly and unknowingly by the people around them. World Health Organisation has been warning about the health hazards resulting from the pollution of Lead in different areas and is trying to create awareness regarding Lead poisoning. So I thought let me also make people aware regarding the risks of Tubular Lead Acid battery, which is being installed by the people inside their homes and offices, and no one knows how dangerous it can be when it spreads the lead fumes which are inhaled especially by the kids.https://suvastika.com/lithium-battery-is-going-to-replace-lead-acid-battery-technology/

Lead exposure can have serious consequences for the health of children. At high levels of exposure, Lead attacks the brain and central nervous system, causing coma, convulsions and even death. Children who survive severe lead poisoning may be left with intellectual disability and behavioural disorders. At lower levels of exposure that cause no obvious symptoms, Lead is now known to produce a spectrum of injury across multiple body systems. In particular, Lead can affect children’s brain development, resulting in reduced intelligence quotient (IQ), behavioural changes such as reduced attention span, increased antisocial behaviour, and reduced educational attainment. Lead exposure also causes anaemia, hypertension, renal impairment, immunotoxicity and toxicity to the reproductive organs. The neurological and behavioural effects of Lead are believed to be irreversible.https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/lead-poisoning-and-health#:~:text=Exposure%20to%20lead-contaminated%20soil%20and%20dust%20resulting%20from,such%20as%20the%20brain%2C%20kidneys%2C%20liver%20and%20bones.

There is no known safe blood lead concentration; even blood lead concentrations as low as 3.5 µg/dL may be associated with decreased intelligence in children, behavioural difficulties and learning problems (1). As lead exposure increases, the range and severity of symptoms and effects also increase. Lead Acid battery health hazards in the different age groups of people using Inverter/UPS vary in different areas. The lead fumes from Tubular Lead Acid batteries in Inverter/UPS are causing a lot of health hazards.

Encouragingly, the successful phasing out of leaded gasoline in most countries and other lead control measures has significantly declined population-level blood lead concentrations. As of July 2021, leaded fuel for cars and lorries is no longer sold anywhere in the world (2). However, more needs to be done to phase out Lead paint; so far, only 45% of countries have introduced legally binding controls on Lead paint. Also ban on the Led Acid batteries being used for the Inverter/UPS, which are kept in the vicinity of homes and offices, is another form of Lead which is a major cause of concern for the various Govts. The major challenge is awareness of Lead as a deadly substance.

All dealers and distributors keep the Lead Acid batteries in the Air conditioned environments for selling purposes or sometimes keep the scrap in their shops and keep breathing the same lead fumes. They don’t realize the health hazards associated with this.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S18780296160010

Environmental Concern about Tubular Lead Acid Battery Inverter/UPS

According to a 2003 report entitled “Getting the Lead Out” by Environmental Defense and the Ecology Center of Ann Arbor, Michigan, the batteries of vehicles on the road contained an estimated 2,600,000 metric tons (2,600,000 long tons; 2,900,000 short tons) of Lead. Some lead compounds are extremely toxic. Long-term exposure to even tiny amounts of these compounds can cause brain and kidney damage, hearing impairment, and learning problems in children.[34] The auto industry uses over 1,000,000 metric tons (980,000 long tons; 1,100,000 short tons) of Lead every year, with 90% going to conventional lead–acid vehicle batteries. While lead recycling is a well-established industry, more than 40,000 metric tons (39,000 long tons; 44,000 short tons) end up in landfills yearly. According to the federal Toxic Release Inventory, another 70,000 metric tons (69,000 long tons; 77,000 short tons) are released in the lead mining and manufacturing process.[35]

Attempts are being made to develop alternatives (particularly for automotive use) because of concerns about the environmental consequences of improper disposal and lead smelting operations, among other reasons. Alternatives are unlikely to displace them for applications such as engine starting or backup power systems since the batteries, although heavy, are low-cost.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93acid_battery

How does lead get in the Air?

Sources of lead emissions vary from one area to another. At the national level, major lead sources in the Air are ore and metals processing and piston-engine aircraft operating on leaded aviation fuel. Other sources are waste incinerators, utilities, and lead-acid battery manufacturers. The highest air concentrations of Lead are usually found near lead smelters. People using Inverter/UPS and installing Lead Acid batteries at homes, offices, schools, religious places etc.

As a result of EPA’s regulatory efforts, including removing Lead from motor vehicle gasoline, lead levels in the Air decreased by 98 per cent between 1980 and 2014.https://www.epa.gov/lead-air-pollution/basic-information-about-lead-air-pollution#how

An alternative to Lead Acid Tubular battery is the lithium battery

Nowadays, various types of Lithium batteries are available in the Inverter/UPS industry. Lithium battery is cheaper than the Tubular Lead Acid battery.

Bluetooth technology in Battery Energy Storage System

What’s Bluetooth technology in Battery Energy Storage System? This is the latest technology in Battery ESS which can monitor and control the Battery ESS. In today’s world, the control and monitoring of any product and gadget is done through mobile applications. The user can go to the App Store on Android and IOS and can download the application on his mobile phone and then start using it.https://suvastika.com/whats-battery-energy-storage-system/

Benefits of Bluetooth and Wi=Fi Bluetooth in Battery Energy Storage Systems

The challenge for the BESS users is to see the status of the Battery Energy Storage System in case anything goes wrong and BESS is shut down. You are getting frustrated as the LEd or the LCD is giving some stupid message you can’t understand, and you have no choice but to call the electrician.

Digital Warranty ESS
OverLoad ESS App

It takes time, and you don’t know what to do. So we have come out with a real solution: open the Su-vastika ESS mobile application, which comes in normal ESS and Heavy Duty ESS and see the message, and it will guide you on what to do in what condition. There are alerts for Overload, and the message will tell you what to do. If the power outage happens, it will keep giving you a message of power failure with the audio alert so that you know that Power has failed.https://pdiwan.medium.com/battery-energy-storage-system-eb0e9a57d546

Also, when the mains power is present, it will show you the voltage and frequency coming into your premises. In case of voltage fluctuations, you can see the real voltage dipping or High voltage coming at your place. Not only are these times when the main Power is coming but also the MCB of Bluetooth BESS goes off because the Load connected with the Battery Energy Storage System exceeds its limit. This isn’t very pleasant for the user as the user doesn’t understand the functioning of the Bluetooth BESS. But in Bluetooth mobile application, we clearly show the user that MCB is down, and please lift the MCB from the back.

Another important feature is battery percentage which can be seen by the user how much battery is being charged, which gives the fair idea that in case of power failure, how much is the backup left?

Another important feature is when the main fails, then the Load is shown on the mobile screen, which is how a user knows the wattage being used when the Power fails, and according to his requirement, he can increase or decrease the Load.

Mains Fail Pop-up

UPS MODE with an alert pop-up of Mains Fail

Another important setting in the Bluetooth UPS is choosing the Reserve mode to conserve the battery power and use it when required in an emergency.

Battery reserve is another big feature of the setting. We can set the reserve as battery reserve helps increase the battery life. The same feature allows the user, in case of an emergency, you can get extra backup when the ups are completely exhausted by changing the settings on the mobile app. This feature works like a reserve in a scooter or motorcycle. It stops the scooter when the petrol is very low, and the user changes the scooter’s settings to reserve mode and runs an extra mile. The same feature we have adapted in our Battery Energy Storage Systems.

There are different types of BESS, Inbuilt Battery Energy Storage Systems having built-in Lithium batteries, Heavy Duty BESS(1P-1P) and Heavy Duty BESS(3P-3P). All three mobile applications are different for different product ranges.

Another important feature is Overload at the time power fails. Then also you get the message about how much Overload is in terms of percentage. Say 110% load is running. Users can reduce the Load, and the BESS functions fine. But in case the user does not reduce the Load even after a few warnings, then the BESS will get into the switch-off mode, and still, the user does not have to go to Inverter or UPS to reset the front switch as we have given that switch also on the mobile application and user can reset from the front switch for the Heavy Duty BESS and small BESS it can be done through the mobile application itself.

Another important feature is the Load to be shut down by the user from the remote control through the mobile application, which looks like a Magic moment for the user in the case of small BESS and Heavy Duty BESS. We have not given this feature. We have given all the settings on the mobile application.

One can easily see on the mobile application and set the settings.

The most important feature of the mobile screen is the 50 and 60 Hz Frequency. In some countries, the voltage is 220Volt, but the frequency is 60Hz. So we have designed this product for 50 and 60 Hz automatic selection. This automatically detects the Input frequency and gives the same frequency when the Power fails. No other manufacturer has considered making a common product that can work in countries with 60 Hz, like Saudi Arabia.

We have the USB port at the back, which has been kept to check the parameters of the BESS and can be used to convert the normal BESS to Bluetooth and Wi-based BESS without making any changes.

This USB port will be used to check the parameters of BESS at any given time through the computer having our proprietary based software. The price of a Bluetooth Battery Energy Storage System is a little higher than that of a normal Battery Energy Storage System. The Bluetooth BESS has the option of a Convertor to install, so our price is lower than any Bluetooth BESS available on the market.

In future, if we need to update our BESS software, we can update the software through this USB port.

This USB port will also be used for checking the digital warranty also. The reseller can show the warranty to the user before installation of the product and can check the warranty at any given time through the laptop or Bluetooth converter.

All the settings of the BESS can also be done through this USB port only.

Tubular Battery is C20 and C10 and Lithium Battery is C1 Capacity Advantage

Why is Tubular Battery C20 and C10, and Lithium Battery is C1 Capacity? The answer to this question is that the Tubular Lead Acid battery was designed for smaller loads. As we can see, the C20 is the Battery’s capacity, defined in terms of the discharge current it can take. So C20 battery was meant for discharge of Battery up to 5% discharge from Battery. So let us take the example of a 150 Ah battery. The C20 battery denotes that we can take out 5% of the 150 Ah battery capacity, which is 7.5Amps, which means its meant for running a load of 100 Watts, and if the user uses this for a 100-watt load, then the Battery will last for minimum ten years of life. He will get a 20Hour back up every time he uses the Battery for the 100-watt load. So the life of the Battery will be very good. 

The water topping will also be very less, so the Tubular Battery is designed optimally for this 5% load. If we try to discharge this Battery at 10%,20% or 50%, the battery capacity will be reduced. The life will also be reduced, and the water topping will increase.https://electricalacademia.com/batteries/lead-acid-battery-vs-lithium-ion-battery/ In the Inverter/UPS, the user generally considers 600 Watt load capacity a standard capacity. For this kind of load, the Tubular Battery is supposed to provide 600 divided by 12, which comes out to be a 50 Amp discharge current, and if we add the Inverter/UPS efficiency, this comes out to be 52 Amps. The tubular Battery is not designed as the efficiency of a Tubular battery will drop drastically. The Solar industry in Hybrid off-grid and Hybrid Solar PCU came up with another idea of the C10 battery, which was better than the C20 Tubular battery as the Solar Hybrid PCUs are designed in an old fashion where the charging is done in the Battery through Solar panels and though the grid also that’s why the Solar Hybrid PCU is called. In solar Hybrid PCU, the Battery is charged and discharged daily.

Hence, the C20 battery has a very limited life as the discharge from the Tubular Battery is higher, so few manufacturers introduced the C10 battery concept, which can also not give life to the people in Solar set up as the discharge current is increasing in the solar set up people are installing so the C10 Tubular battery is meant for 15 Amp discharge in 150 Ah battery which means if the user runs 200 Waqt load on a single Tubular battery than it might give him 7 to 10 years life. Still, the user uses the same Battery for 600 Watts to 1000 watts, and now the Battery demands water topping. The backup time is also reduced, and the life a user can get is 2 to 3 years only. That too the battery life start reducing in 2 years only, and in next one year, it deteriorates. There is a big misnomer in the market that Solar system battery life is higher than inverter/UPS, which is another way around. One can have a better life on Inverter/UPS, but on a solar System, the Tubular battery life is reduced as the Battery is charged and discharged daily. The cycles are reduced accordingly, and in inverter/UPS usage, the Battery is only discharged when the power fails, which is much less compared to the Solar Battery, which discharges almost daily if the sun is available to give the backup even if the power is available.https://suvastika.com/difference-between-c20-and-c10-tubular-battery/

So let us talk about the Lithium battery. All the Lithium batteries of different chemistries, like Lithium ion, Lithium Iron, Phosphate, lithium zinc etc., have C1 and C3 capacities, and even they are available in C10 capacities. So this is an ideal battery for Solar and the Inverter/UPS application. If we use a 150 Ah Lithium battery for Inverter/UPS or Solar application, then on the 50 Amp discharge, we get exactly 3 hours of backup. In contrast, if we take a Tubular Battery of 150 Ah, we will get only 1 hour 30 minutes. Suppose we discharge the Tubular battery at 75 Amps. In that case, we will get only 45 minutes on 750 Watt bulb load, whereas, in the Lithium battery, there is no degradation in backup time on 75 Amps discharge, giving exactly 2 hours of backup. Not only backup time life of the Tubular battery will also reduce if we discharge the Tubular battery at 50 Amps. If we discharge the Tubular battery at 75 Amps, then the life of the battery will remain only 50%. The tubular battery of 150 Ah is designed for 7.5 Amp discharge, and we are discharging 75 Amps out of the same battery.

In the case a Lithium battery, this battery is designed for a Higher discharge rate, so the life is four times of a tubular battery, and if we load it at 100% of its capacity, the life and backup time are not affected at all. So I leave it to your judgement to decide which one to Choose, Tubular C20, C10 or Lithium C1 battery.

If you compare the backup time chart and the lifetime of the Tubular and Lithium batteries, you will realize Lithium battery is cheaper than the Tubular Battery.

Difference between C20 and C10 in Tubular battery.

The difference between C20 and C10 batteries in Tubular batteries is very simple to understand. When we talk of C rating, whether C10 or C20, that denotes the capacity of the battery, whereas, in the Inverter and solar Industry, there is a rumour that a C20 battery is for Inverter/UPS and a C10 battery is for solar applications. I’m amazed that the whole industry talks of capacity as the charging capacity. You meet anyone from the industry who will say the solar battery can be charged faster but cannot explain that even properly. So C20 and C10 is the concept in Tubular lead Acid battery where if we have to check the actual capacity, then for a 150 Ah battery, we need to discharge 7.5Amp from the battery after charging it completely. If it works for 20 hours, it has the capacity of a C20 battery. For the C10 battery, if we discharge the 150 Ah battery at 10 Amps, what is the timing if we get 10 hours back up? results with you. Is the C10 battery.. this is the theory behind the C20 and C10 batteries in the case of the Tubular battery. So we tested different batteries on different currents by using bulb loads on the different inverters available in the market. Now we are sharing those.

So let us understand in this blog what C20 is: the capacity defined by any manufacturer that the battery will give 20 hours of backup time if we load the battery with a defined load. So let us take an example if we have the 150 Ah battery of C20, then it means that if we draw 7.5Amp current from the 150 Ah battery, it should give 20 hours of backup time. So this is the battery standard manufacturer is trying to tell us. But if we draw 7.5Amp from any Tubular battery, do we get 20 hours nowadays? It is a big question mark. No manufacturer can prove that if we draw 7.5 Amp current from his 150 Ah battery, it should give 20 hours of backup. The Inverter has its efficiency, and if we check the backup at any inverter, we will not get the 20 hours back up. So if we increase the discharge current to 15 Amps, we should get 10 hours back up of 10 hours, but the manufacturer has made a C10 battery which is also insufficient for Inverter or Solar Industry. I explain further that a 500 Watt load on any inverter is drawing how much current, so 500 divided by 12 equals 42 Amps. So what’s the backup time for 42Amps load, which no company tells you whether the C20 battery or C10 battery?https://naturalenergyhub.com/solar-energy/differences-c10-c20-rated-solar-batteries/

So today, I will tell you that there is no such formula to calculate the Load and backup time as all these formulas people have been using so far do not stand anywhere as the technology keeps on degrading, and nowadays, who is selling which Ah battery is anyone’s guess. But today, I will give you a formula by which you can easily test the battery at your shop or showroom and see whether the manufacturer is giving you the right or the wrong capacity battery. The Price of a tubular battery C20 and a Tubular battery C10 has a 15% to 20% difference.

This is the backup time chart of the C20 Tubular battery, which we have prepared after testing various tubular batteries available in the Indian market. Any dealer can test this backup time on the Inverter available in your showroom. Take an Inverter/UPS of any brand, charge the 150 Ah battery, and select the Inverter which can take a load of 1200 Watt on a single battery. Then get six bulbs of 200 watts, charge the battery completely, and then discharge the 1200-watt bulb load on the Inverter/UPS you selected, and you will get less than 25 minutes of backup time. This way, you can test the quality of your Tubular Lead Acid battery and whether the manufacturer has given you a good-quality or bad-quality battery. When the battery comes back after working for two years, you will realize the backup time left testing on the same test, which is easy to perform as it takes 25 minutes to finish this test. Suppose one has to see the quality of the 150Ah Tubular battery. In that case, whether on C20 or C10, the battery should be tested on 1200 att load, and if the backup is more than 30 minutes, then that battery is a C10 battery, and if we get less than 25 minutes, then that battery is also not C20 battery.

We should make a thumb rule for testing any battery of any make.https://suvastika.com/12volt-tubular-battery-inverter-system-and-advantages-and-disadvantages/

150Ah 12V battery backup on different loads

Compared to Tubular C20 and C10, the Lithium battery with LifePO4-based chemistry has C1 capacity. This is a major difference between the Tubular and Lithium batteries. So Tubular battery can not compare with the Lithium battery as the C10 battery is sold for the Solar industry, which is doubtful as C10 is also insufficient for higher loads. So for Higher loads, the only solution is a Lithium battery only. As it has the C1 capacity, you can load it at any percentage of the load. The capacity will not shift. The industry will shift from Tubular to Lithium in the next five years once people realize the strength of Lithium batteries.https://suvastika.com/lithium-battery-is-cheaper-than-tubular-battery-in-ups-inverter-usage/

The price of a Tubular battery having 20% or 10%, and the price of a Lithium battery compared to a C10 battery is 50% more, which is a very justified price.
