Huzaifa bro do u know why your inverter uses more from grid?

Ups battery, purchased last year is giving low battery backup.

Electrolyte is decreasing at faster rate in all cells.

What to do?

Check with battery tester?

If battery tester shows "replace battery", will the test status improve after flushing battery?

most probably one cell is dead. you can use hybrometer to check the gravity but if tester saya replace it then do it. Decreasing electrolyte means battery's overcharging bcz its damaged. GEL batteries are better replacement would serve for 3-5 years. These car batteries are not meant for long backup

Your UPS obviously over charge your battery which ups r using?

i have dual bettery ups,
but a few days ago suddenly it started beeping even it was running on wapda power,
it showed : Fault 0 on screen dont know what does it mean ?
ups is of appollo company btw,
i switched off it for some time and started it worked fine, but again next day same thing happend.
i removed that and now running another old ups on one battery.
not to forget there was no any load on ups , only 2 fans were on
can any one tell me what could be the problem?

dual batteries need equalisation charge after 2 months. If you don't do that they can unable and they do which destorys one battery and then boom the second one. so when ever you have 2 or more batteries connected in series either use a balancer and connect them in parallel once every two months and keep a check at water levels if using flooded lead acid battery because below 11v it gets damaged

Ajeeb baatein krtay hen log. Masla BC ups ka hei. Ilzaam bechari batterioun per lag ya lagaya jata hei. Saray ka sara masla UPS ka hota hei. Yeh beghairat sahi kaam kray tu majaal hei battery kabhi aik fault bhi kray except company issue.

I have bought Abid ups. Battery is two years old. Two years. Liquid battery. AGS 175 amp. Still gives 8 hour backup on one fan. 6 hours or more on two fans.

Ab btayein mein paani kab kab change ya refill krta honga? Har haftay ya har maheenay? Never.

Abhi tak 2 saal mei battery ka paani 4 dafa halka sa refill kr chuka hn.

Meter jal( burn) gaya tha. Tu wapda se masla 1 month baad solve hua. Battery charge kr ke ups band har cheez band. 1 month pari rhi. Dead honay je chances zyada ho jatay hen.

Then for 1 and 1/2 month ke liyay Saudi arabia gayay thay. Tab bhi battery band hi thi. So had to recharge from shops two times. Aur 2 saal baad ja kr seekha hum ne keh battery mei AC ka distilled water nahi daaltay. Khair. Shukar hei aik tu paani kam maanga battery nay because no overcharging.

Aur wohi ups bhai ki shadi ke baad upgrade krwaya 650 watts into 1200 watts. Tu hafta band pari rhi battery.

0 gravity per chalatay rhay tu backup 2-3 hours aa rha tha. Dukandar ko di. Raat ko charge krta rha. Subha 1250 gravity kr ke di 250 rs mei.

Now 8 hours backup.

Dobara keh rha hn. Batteries ka kasoor kam hota hei jitna in ups ka hota hei. Chahay tu homage inverex ke hn ya local 2 number.

Abid said keh " mei heraan hn ap ne battery ke saath itna zulm kiya. Paani tak ghalat daala. Abhi bhi battery 2 saal baad bhi wohi backup de rhi hei ".

I know why because he made good ups with heart.

Abho tak 2 rishtay daroun ko le kr dilwa chuka hn. Sab se khabti aunty ko le kr diya. It's her 3 rd month and still she is waiting for the day to refill water. But abhi tak nahi aaya woh din.

Auk banday ko double battery 1200 watt wala le kr diyay. Its their 2 nd month. No need to balance batteries.

Wohi tu samajh nahi aata. KEh pakwheels per log help bhi kr rhay hen per adhoori.

Abid is only for Lahore people. So i always go to lahore and give my orders to him.

Abid phone number. 03034485038

Me. Dr adnan. 03470310109

Ramzan hei. Jhoot bolnay ki aadat wesay hi nahi mujhay. Alhamdulillah.

Abid ka ups le kr dekhein. Koi masla ho. Mein warranty deta hn. Just try him guys. Yaqeen karein agar mei karachi bhi rehta. Tu wohin se lahore aa kr iss se ups stabilizers waghera banwaata.

May Allah forgive all o us. Aakhri ashra aanay wala hei. Aitkaaf karein.

Remember me in uur prayers if i have helped u good in any way. And please give feedback if u ever buy from him.

I recently bought this 1kva CyberPower Solar Hybrid Inverter. For now i'm running it on wapda but planning to add couple of solar panels in coming months. I need recommendation for solar panels, for start i want to install max 300watts panels. Anyone else here running similar solar hybrid system? Any recommendations/help will be appreciated.

Use A grade panels. 300W production is at peak you will get around 200W normally or even less. I don't know the features of this inverter, does this only charge the batteries via solar or can combine solar and grid to provide required output hence reducing electricity bill.

Solar installation is very important, do some study on the proper angle and tilt of solar.

** Didn't read the features, it just acts as a charge controller to charge batteries!

Thanks, for the info.
I just checked the user manual of this inverter and there is Solar First mode. Can you tell me which solar panels you are using and how much they cost?

[huzaifa.haroon]

There is not much information about

The inverter supports max 260W i think( Read in detail to find the appropriate panel)
I am using Yingli Solar and Suntech in my system. A grade panels nowdays can be purchased for as low as 75rs/W.

Inverex UPS, and i have to check it because it seems faulty. Gravity is almost equal in all cells and they reduce electrolyte almost equally and top up is done by original battery tonic water.

I have multi meter and hyro meter both and i know their use. How to check over charging, charging rate, and cut-off voltage with them?

Check the voltage at which ups cuts off charging. I think by using multi meter check voltage when it shows battrry as fully charged.
Whata the reading at full charge?

The shop from where i bought this inverter said that I can install max 600Watts panels like 4 panels of 150Watts.
Do you prefer monocrystalline or polycrystalline panels?
