Inverter Battery Backup Test (India)
Inverter Battery Backup Test: convert a timed discharge into measured Ah, kWh and state of health.
India's tubular batteries: run a known load until the inverter cuts out — this converts backup hours into measured Ah and SoH against the C20 rating.
SoH = measured Ah ÷ rated Ah at the same discharge rate and temperature. Rate matters — discharging a lead-acid battery faster than its rating undercounts capacity (Peukert effect; see the Peukert tool), so always test at the datasheet rate.
Engineering estimate from published standards and typical equipment data. Site conditions, equipment datasheets and measured data govern the real result — confirm with a qualified engineer.

Frequently asked questions
How do I properly test battery capacity at home or on site?+
Full charge, rest 1–4 hours, then a constant-current discharge at the datasheet rate (C/20 for lead-acid, C/3–1C for lithium) down to the specified cutoff voltage, timing it. Measured Ah = current × hours. The biggest error is testing at the wrong rate — lead-acid reads dramatically lower at high currents.
What discharge rate should I use for the test?+
The rating's basis: most lead-acid ratings are C20 (a 150 Ah battery tests at 7.5 A), traction batteries C5, lithium typically C/3 or 1C per datasheet. Testing faster than the basis undercounts capacity (Peukert effect) and falsely fails healthy batteries.
How often should batteries be capacity-tested?+
Standby/UPS strings: yearly per IEEE 1188 practice, quarterly once past 80% of design life. Cycled banks (solar, traction): every 6–12 months. EVs: at purchase/sale and yearly. Consistent method and temperature matter more than frequency — trends need comparable points.
Can I trust the BMS SoH reading instead of testing?+
Partially. Good BMS estimates track within ±5% when the pack regularly sees full cycles; they drift badly on shallow-cycled packs that never let the BMS recalibrate. A periodic measured test anchors the BMS estimate — and is the only number a warranty process accepts.
