Luminous has launched its solar flooded tubular monobloc batteries designed to offer reliable, consistent and low maintenance power for renewable energy requirements. These batteries can be subject to deep cycle applications and minimum maintenance in rural and power deficit areas. The batteries have a capacity to withstand partial state of charge (PSOC) operation. These monobloc batteries are available in 12 Volts from 20Ah to 200 Ah @ C10 at 27?C to 1.80 vpc.Luminous has also developed a 2- volt range of tubular batteries from 200Ah to 1000Ah for solar photovoltaic applications having a design life of ten years plus. However, the life of the battery is dependent on the ambient temperatures and the number of times it is cycled and the depth of discharge.These solar batteries have been developed keeping in mind the various parameters peculiar to India by a team of scientist and engineers at a R&D facility dedicated to electrochemical research at our works in Gagret, Himachal Pradesh.Luminous decided to develop these solar batteries keeping in mind the increased awareness and public spending in the field of new and renewable energy for applications in household lighting, street lighting and in rural and urban cellular telecom installations. We expect a significant shift in the telecom industry towards use on non-conventional energy due to increased operational expenses. Increased government incentives and subsidies will, in the next couple years, lead to increased spending by governmental agencies in the new and renewable energy.Our batteries are designed to give long life in cyclic operations and extremely long intervals in topping up and even total freedom from maintenance. Our batteries can be adapted to use auto-fill systems and air agitation systems for faster charging and avoidance of acid stratification in standby cells. For outdoor applications, we offer batteries in IP55 enclosures.While, our batteries are approved by MNRE, Luminous continues to experiment with new and improved alloys and manufacturing technologies to enhance the life of our solar batteries, reduce topping up, etc.

• Similar to the tubular battery offerings, only difference being their capacity to withstand partial state of discharge (PSOC) operation
• Deep discharged batteries(upto 80%).
• Specially designed for rural and high power outage areas.
• Choose between 5 load disconnect algorithms
• Consistent power output & high back-up.
• Minimum maintenance.
• Cost efficient.

Exide has very wide range of Solar Tubular Battery models in its products line-up. Now many of our blog readers are posting queries about Exide Solar Tubular Batteries. Many people have doubts about using Exide solar tubular batteries with normal home inverters instead of IT500 or other tubular batteries. In this article we are going to clarify your doubts about solar batteries. Here we come up with some useful information's about Exide Solar Tubular Batteries.

• These Batteries are specially designed for Solar Photovoltaic application.
• These batteries Performs consistently, even under severe weather and atmospheric conditions.
• Battery discharge rate is specified as C 10 whereas other normal inverter batteries are rated C 20 (c10 is better than c20, you can enjoy extra backup)
• Very Low water Loss Spine tubes casted with low antimony content results in very low % of water loss which means low maintenance
• Very Low self-discharge Battery will never go empty, even if left idle for long time ( only 3% charge loss as self-discharge per month- so no more worries when going for vacation)
• Rechargeable with very low charging current
• Full tubular Design results in quick charge acceptance even after very deep discharge.
• Battery is built with TORR Tubular Technology.
• Spine Tubes are very thick, made with HADI machine using high pressure casting (100 bar) method to ensure void free build quality.
• Spine Tube or Positive Plate corrosion results in battery failure, the extra thick spine tubes in this battery ensures very long life and reliability to the battery.
