In the REI Expo this time, where different companies were showcasing their latest technology products, Suvastika company also displayed its lithium battery. In Suvastika, you can also find smart solar inverters with the latest technology.
The special thing about these solar inverters is that you can check all their data on your phone through the mobile app , anywhere you are. Even if you are in another city, you can still monitor your inverter’s data on your phone. Along with this, Suvastika also launched its lithium battery, which lasts for 10-15 years.
This lithium Battery is Equivalent to a 10 Tubular Battery.
Currently, most people are using tubular batteries because many people are not aware of lithium batteries, and lithium batteries have just started to be used in solar systems. The biggest reason for using tubular batteries is that they are available at a much lower cost.
However, tubular batteries have a much shorter lifespan compared to lithium batteries. In tubular batteries, you have to add water repeatedly. Besides, tubular batteries emit harmful gases. To overcome all these issues, lithium batteries have been developed. You don’t need to add any water to them, and they take up much less space, making your solar system more efficient.
If you install tubular batteries on a 10kVA solar inverter, you would need at least 10 tubular batteries. However, if you use Suvastika company’s lithium battery instead of tubular batteries, you can create a 10-kilowatt solar system with just one battery. In this way, one lithium battery is equivalent to 10 tubular batteries.
lithium Battery Life Cycle
Speaking of tubular batteries, a 150Ah @C10 rating battery works properly when charged for 10 hours and discharged for 10 hours. Similarly, a tubular battery’s life cycle is completed in one day. Tubular batteries provide approximately 1000 life cycles, so they can work efficiently for about 3 years. However, if someone uses 1 life cycle every 2 days, the battery can last for 5-6 years.
On the other hand, Suvastika’s lithium battery offers 3000 life cycles. If you use 1 life cycle per day, your lithium battery can last for almost 10 years. And if you complete 1 life cycle every 2 days, this battery can last for about 20 years. In places where power cuts are rare, battery life cycles are rarely used, so lithium batteries can last for a very long time in such areas.
As for the price of lithium batteries, considering their life cycle and benefits, they will be much cheaper than tubular batteries. There is no need for any maintenance in lithium batteries. They are much smaller in size and significantly lighter in weight compared to tubular batteries.
Suvastika lithium battery Price
The life of a lithium battery is generally 3 to 4 times longer than a regular tubular battery. However, their price is approximately double that of tubular batteries. While you need to replace 2 tubular batteries in 7-8 years, which would cost around ₹30,000, you only need to replace one lithium battery in 10-12 years, which would cost around ₹32,000.
- 1kw Lithium Battery Price – Rs.33,000*
- 2kw Lithium Battery Price – Rs. 65,000*
- 5kw Lithium Battery Price – Rs.1,25,000*
- 10kw Lithium Battery Price – Rs. 2,50,000*
*The price of battery is subject to change by the company at any time.
So from this you can imagine how much cheaper Lithium battery is compared to tubular battery and how much more are its benefits.

Suvastika LIFEPO4 Battery Advantages
LiFePO4 battery is a type of lithium-ion battery that uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as the cathode material. Here are some main advantages of LiFePO4 batteries:
- High Energy Density: Lithium batteries have a higher energy density, meaning they can store more energy in a small, lightweight package.
- Longer Lifespan: Lithium batteries can endure more charge-discharge cycles without significant degradation, resulting in a longer operational lifespan.
- Faster Charging and Discharging: Lithium batteries can be charged in 2 to 3 hours, whereas lead-acid tubular batteries take around 15 hours to charge.
- IoT Feature: LiFePO4 batteries come with a battery management system that allows users to monitor and control parameters through Bluetooth and Wi-Fi mobile applications.
- Lower Self-Discharge Rate: Lithium batteries have a lower self-discharge rate, meaning they can hold their charge for extended periods even when not in use.
- Smaller Size and Weight: Lithium batteries can be much smaller and lighter, making them easy to install and handle in various applications.
- No Maintenance: Lithium batteries do not require maintenance such as water topping, regular water level checks, and acid reconditioning.
- Improved Efficiency: Lithium batteries have higher charge and discharge efficiency, meaning less energy is wasted during charging and discharging.
- Safety Features: Many lithium batteries come with advanced safety features such as overcharge protection, over-discharge protection, and thermal management systems.
- Scalability: Lithium battery systems can be easily scaled down based on energy requirements.
