Unfortunately power cuts have become a part of our everyday life. Has your power ever turned off, just at the wrong moment while you were;
- Watching TV, right in the middle of a test match or soap opera?
- Working on your computer, completing an important proposal or helping your child with their school assignment?
- Settling down to a romantic dinner and suddenly no background music?
Scenarios like those above can quickly become a thing of the past if you install a BHG Power Battery and Inverter Backup Power Supply. It only takes 2 minutes to be installed and is a simple as plugging in an extension cord and flipping a switch.
The BHG Power Battery and Inverter Backup Power Supply can provide emergency power to essential appliances for up to 6 hours. (depending on the model you choose and the power consumption of your appliances) BHG Power Battery and Inverter Backup Power Supply will automatically switch modes from mains electricity supply to battery backup and back again as soon as the power comes on. The switching between modes is almost seamless (15 to 50 milliseconds) and for most appliances will appear uninterrupted.
In order for you to decide whether or not a BHG Power Battery and Inverter Backup Power Supply is the best solution for you, consider the following information, questions and answers. Perhaps some of our electricity tips can help you figure things out.
How does the BHG Power Battery and Inverter Backup Power Supply work?
- Simple Circuit Diagram when the Mains Power is ON During normal power supply and the Mains Power is ON, the Wall Plug supplies power to the Backup Mate.
- The Backup Mate charges the Backup Battery and supplies power to the PC and Light which are plugged into the Extension Lead and Adapter
How much storage?
There are number of different solar batteries, each with different capabilities for use in different environments and to meet different purposes. Requirements with regard to temperature, mounting and ventilation will differ depending on the type of solar battery used.

Electricity Tips – Solar Battery Types
AGM Batteries are so called because of the Absorbed Glass Mats that are contained between the plates. Solar AGM batteries are relatively resilient and can withstand a fair amount of transport. They have a number of advantages over other solar battery types, for instance they are sealed, which means that they are maintenance free, and as they are stable they don’t crack or leak corrosive fumes. In addition, they lose less power (low discharge rate) when not in use than other solar powered batteries.
Silica Gel is added to Gel Batteries to transform the acid within the solar battery into a stable solid state. Gel solar batteries are perfectly safe for use as even in the unlikely event that they break the acid is never spilt or leaked. As with the AGM solar powered battery, Gel batteries have a slow discharge rate and recover quickly from an extended period of discharge, which makes then ideal if they are only going to be used on a semi-regular basis.
If you want to go a more economical route, however, and the battery is going to be placed where any potential leakage will not cause any harm, it might be a better idea to consider deep cycle solar batteries that can still be efficiently used after they have been discharged to around 80%.
Electricity Tips – Solar Power Battery Storage Time
When it comes to home solar power systems the average storage time for a solar battery is usually estimated at 3 times your daily storage usage. So, ideally you should get 3 days of power from your solar powered batteries.
Solar power batteries enable you to maintain your lifestyle on your renewable energy system. In order to make a significant ecological and economic difference with solar panels and the use of solar generated power, a solar battery is indispensable.
