These figures are approximate, according to sellers' websites, October 2026. For prices that match your load and your city, send a free request on BlaBlaPrice.

Warranty and local rules to check

Read the warranty before you pay. For some inverter batteries, the manufacturer's terms require digital warranty registration within 7 days of purchase, so keep the bill and complete the registration. Warranty periods differ a lot: a 12 V sealed range from Exide is listed with 12 months from the date of sale, while tubular batteries are advertised with 3 years (Livguard) or 60 months (Exide). Battery and inverter warranties are sometimes listed separately, so ask which one the seller quotes.

Season and power cuts

The climate is tropical: hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer. October 2026 falls between the rains and the dry months in much of India, a good time to test an old battery before the hot months, when heat and power cuts put the most load on a backup. A battery that sat unused through the wet season should be charged and tested before you rely on it.

How it is bought and delivered

Give every figure in the units used on the listings: volts for the battery, Ah for tubular and sealed batteries, VA for UPS units, and Wh or kWh for portable packs. Prices are quoted per battery or per unit. Ask whether the price includes delivery to your city. Delivery works between cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Chennai, so name your city in the request.

What to write in the request

Name the battery type (tubular, sealed 12 V or lithium), the capacity, the voltage and what it has to power, such as a router, a fan, a fridge or a whole home circuit. Add the quantity, the make and model if you know them, and the warranty period you want. For a lithium pack, ask for the battery management system (BMS) specification. Finish with your city and your budget.

To get offers, write a free request on BlaBlaPrice in your own words and add a photo of the old battery or its label if you have one.
