Factors to Consider When Buying a Battery

The 3 major factors you must consider when buying a solar battery are:

Rate of supply
Depth of discharge
Warranty

Rate of Supply

This is the amount of current a battery can discharge or supply over a period. It is usually measured in Amps/hour. The available tubular solar batteries in Nigeria have the following supply rates:

200Ah
220Ah
240Ah
270Ah

The higher the supply rate value, the more current it can discharge per hour

Depth of Discharge:

This is how far you can use a fully charged battery when it is not charging before connecting to charge again. The deeper it is, the better. As a rule of thumb, the depth of discharge of a solar battery should be at least 70% and a maximum of 95%

Warranty:

Most solar battery warranty ranges between 1 and 10 years. But to enjoy this warranty in Nigeria you must buy brands that have a physical presence in the country, and it must be directly from the company or their registered distributors.

Types of Solar Batteries in Nigeria

There are 3 basic types of solar batteries in Nigeria, which are:

Gel Battery
Tubular Battery
Lithium battery (LiFePo4)

Gel Battery

This is a refined model of Lead-Acid battery specifically designed for solar systems. Also, known as dry cell battery. The electrolyte is made of gel, which improves its performance greatly when used in a solar system.

The advantages of using gel solar batteries cannot be overemphasized. They require little or no maintenance once installed. Also, it is a durable solar battery because the gel electrolyte increases its resistance to shock and vibrations when in use.

Above all, Gel batteries have a very deep depth of discharge. This means they can discharge at lower depths without affecting the lifespan of the battery.

The downside of this type of battery is that they are usually more expensive than tubular batteries. Also, they have a very slow charging rate

Tubular Battery (OPZs)

Tubular batteries are the most commonly used batteries by solar installers. They store energy in a liquid electrolyte. They are very good at storing high energy, which makes them a better option. Also, they have very high efficiency and a very high depth of discharge. Above all, they charge very fast once connected to a power source

The downside of a tubular battery is that It requires periodic maintenance. Though not expensive.

Lithium Battery (LiFePo4)

Lithium battery is the most reliable and stable solar battery in Nigeria. It is great for homeowners. It has about 90% depth of discharge and performs greatly when loaded well. It has a very long-life span. Most lithium batteries come with a minimum of 5 years warranty

The downside of this type of solar battery in Nigeria is that it is very expensive for most common Nigerians.
