V-Guard Flat Plate batteries

V-Guard Flat Plate batteries are designed for inverter and UPS applications, offering reliable short-duration backup suitable for homes and small offices where power cuts are relatively infrequent or short.

Key Features and Specifications

• Flat Plate Technology: Uses lead-acid flat plates, which are well-suited for moderate backup needs and are generally more economical than tubular batteries.

• Capacity Range: Available in various capacities, typically from 80Ah to 230Ah.

• Digital Compatibility: Compatible with V-Guard and other inverters/UPS systems that allow selection for flat plate battery type and appropriate charging currents for optimal battery life.

• Water Top-up Indicator: Some V-Guard inverters and batteries feature water level reminders, helping ensure minimal maintenance.

• Maintenance: Regular distilled water top-up is required, though many V-Guard inverters can remind users with a "fuzzy logic" sensorless topping system.

• Affordability: Flat plate batteries are typically priced lower than tubular variants, making them a cost-effective choice for low-to-moderate power backup needs.

Typical Applications

• Best suited for locations with short, infrequent power cuts.

• Well-matched to smaller homes, apartments, or office setups that require essential backup (like fan, lights, router, or TV) for short periods.

Model Example

• V-Guard VF 160 Flat Plate Inverter Battery: One of the widely available models, suitable for digital UPS usage.

Comparison: Flat Plate vs Tubular

V-Guard Flat Plate batteries are a cost-effective, practical solution for modest backup needs, provided users are able to perform regular maintenance and only require shorter backup durations.
