Tips to Maintain and Extend the Life of Your Lithium Ion Battery Powered Inverter

0

Every home and office these days has at least one Lithium ion battery powered inverter. After all, our modern life is run mostly by digital devices and electric appliances. To ensure that power cuts do not affect the quality of our life, it becomes important to maintain the life of the Lithium ion battery powered inverter.  

Tips to Maintain and Extend the Life of Your Lithium Ion Battery Powered Inverter

Down below is a list of five tips that will help you maintain the health of your Lithium ion battery inverter. Read on. 

  1. Do not place lithium ion battery powered inverters in temperature extremes. 

Extreme high temperatures and extremely low temperatures affect the battery negatively. Especially high temperatures can increase the speed of degradation of various inverter components. Along with that, high temperatures can also lead to serious safety risks such as fire or explosion. 

Generally, inverters are placed in shaded corners of homes. The temperature in such places is generally optimal for a lithium-ion battery inverter. In case the inverter at your home or office is placed where it is exposed to direct sunlight, try to shift it to a shaded place.  

  1. Do not let the battery discharge completely. 

Deep battery discharge can quickly damage a lithium-ion battery inverter. Such type of damage is not only quick but also permanent. When a battery is discharged completely, a short circuit might happen in the internal metal plating. If a short circuit occurs, the inverter might become unusable and unsafe.  

Generally, the problem of deep battery discharge does not occur in most major cities of the country where the government ensures continuous power supply. But if you live in an area where there are frequent power cuts for long periods of time, you should try to use only those appliances which consume lesser power. 

  1. Use it regularly. 

We just mentioned above that you should not discharge your battery completely. But that also does not mean that you should not be using your battery inverter regularly. In fact, an inverter battery that is used every day generally lasts longer than batteries that are used only once in a while.  

If you happen to live in a place where there are very infrequent power cuts, chances are high that your inverter is getting used lesser than what is optimal. In such a case, you can turn off the main power line so that your home or office starts running on the lithium-ion battery powered inverter. 

  1. Keep everything clean. 

Since an inverter is not a tool that needs to be handled by hand to get used, people tend to place it in a corner and forget about it. While this is the benefit of having an inverter in your home or office, you should also not forget to clean the inverter, battery, and inverter case.  

Ensure that every side of the battery and inverter is devoid of dust or dirt. You can clean the battery with a dry cloth. On top of that, you should also make sure that the vents around the inverter are open. Flowing air does not let the dust settle down on the inverter, and it can also regulate the temperature of the battery.  

The Takeaway 

One can easily extend the life of their inverter batteries by following a few steps. In case you find any issue with the inverter, you can also contact the company if it is under warranty for repair.  

Nowadays, companies like Luminous India are known for their excellent customer service that solves all your issues as soon as possible. So, if you are selecting an inverter, do check if the company has good customer service or not. It will be a time and money-saving step for the future.

Who is Alvaro Rodriguez? A look at Real Madrid’s exciting, young 193cm frontman

0

Alvaro Rodriguez provided an assist on his La Liga debut with Real Madrid, within minutes of coming off the bench. The youngster came on for Rodrygo in the 87th minute, and he was able to square the ball to Marco Asensio as he finished the game off by making it 2-0 in the final minutes of play. 

The 18-year-old has been quite impressive for Real Madrid’s Castilla team and has now earned a place with the senior team. However, there is a chance he could still play with the youth team to get regular minutes on the pitch. 

Alvaro Rodriguez was praised by Carlo Ancelotti for an assist on their debut 

“He has a lot of quality. He’s tall, controls the ball well and can header it too. He can help us, just like he helped us tonight. It’s not easy for a young player to come on and make a first-team debut. He provided two assists, to Vinícius and to Asensio. I’m convinced he’ll help us over the rest of the season.

We have to evaluate with Raúl if he spends more time with us. He could even play for Castilla tomorrow. Maybe not the whole game, but he could play,” Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti said about the youngster. 

Standing tall at 193cm, Alvaro Rodriguez presents Real Madrid with a profile that they don’t have in the squad. He is very good in the air and could be trusted to replace Karim Benzema as he recovers from yet another injury this season. 

Marcus Rashford is in the form of his life: 10 outstanding stats which show he is currently one of the best

0

Marcus Rashford is a completely different player right now. His form after the FIFA World Cup 2022 is too hot to handle for opposition teams. The England international is currently one of the best, if not the best, on current form.

He has single-handedly won matches for Manchester United and are currently just 5 points behind league leaders Arsenal. The 25-year-old looked lost at some points last season, but now, he is a man reborn under Erik Ten Hag and is in the form of his life.

Marcus Rashford is in the form of his life: 10 outstanding stats which show he is currently one of the best

Let’s take a look at 10 outstanding stats which showcase his red-hot form:

  • Marcus Rashford has scored 16 goals in 17 appearances in all competitions since the World Cup 2022.
  • He has scored seven more goals than any other player in Europe’s major leagues since World Cup 2022.
  • He has scored one goal more than the PSG attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar since the World Cup.
  • Besides his goalscoring form, Rashford has also provided four assists since the World Cup.
  • He averages a goal every 79 minutes. And a goal or assist every 63 minutes in this time.
  • He has scored 24 goals in all competitions this season, which is already his best-ever goalscoring season with a few more months still left.
  • He has almost scored five times more goals than his previous 2021-22 campaign, where he scored 5 goals.
  • Rashford has only been kept quiet in just two of his 17 appearances since the World Cup where he has failed to score or assist a goal.
  • He has scored goals in each of his last seven Premier League home appearances at Old Trafford.
  • He is only behind Wayne Rooney (eight games – December 2009 to March 2010) and Cristiano Ronaldo (10 games – March to November 2008) in the longest goalscoring runs at Old Trafford in the Premier League.

Neymar’s ankle injury leaves involvement against Bayern Munich in UCL Ro16 in doubt

0

Neymar remains a doubt for PSG’s Champions League Round of 16 clash against Bayern Munich. The Parisians trail by 1-0 on aggregate, and will have to outscore the German giants to avoid going out at the Round of 16 for the fifth time in seven years. 

The Brazilian was stretchered off in tears during PSG’s Ligue 1 game against Lille. Lionel Messi was able to score a free-kick at the very end of the game to earn all three points for his side, continuing his remarkable form this season. 

Neymar remains a doubt for Bayern Munich return leg in the UCL 

Alongside Kylian Mbappe and Messi, Neymar was also on the scoresheet for the Parisians as they beat Lille. However, their European challenge is the tie that will be considered more important since they have a considerable lead at the top of the league table. 

Fans have taken a more cynical look at the winger’s injury, noticing how close it is to his sister’s birthday. The Brazil international has earned a lot of criticism for rarely missing his sibling’s birthday over the last ten years. And as per social media commentary, it could be a case of his sister’s birthday curse haunting the player again. 

Neymar arrived in PSG as the most expensive player of all-time, but has not been able to stay fit for a lot of their major European clashes. His absence against Bayern Munich could be a huge blow to the team, who are at risk of going out yet again. 

The winger is expected to undergo scans to diagnose how bad his ankle injury is today, and a more accurate report on his injury can be expected shortly after.

New games are added to Xbox Game Pass on a monthly basis, with Microsoft highlighting them every two weeks or so.

Microsoft could surprise Xbox Game Pass subscribers with how it handles the March 2023 game announcements.

Since the start of the new year, new Xbox Game Pass game announcements have deviated from their usual pattern, making it increasingly difficult to predict when new games will be released for the service. With all of the new Xbox Game Pass games for February 2023 already revealed, March represents a chance for Microsoft to get back on track.

  • Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty – March 3
  • Valheim – March 14
  • MLB The Show 23 – March 28
  • Way to the Woods – TBA

Valheim’s Xbox console debut is anticipated by fans. The game is a survival game in the style of Minecraft with a Norse mythology theme. Valheim exploded in popularity during its early access release in 2021, quickly becoming one of Steam’s most popular games. Valheim’s full release date is still unknown, but Xbox console gamers will soon be able to see what all the fuss is about with the early access version. If you have a PC Game Pass subscription and can’t wait until March 14, you can play Valheim right now.

David De Gea equals Peter Schmeichel with 180th clean sheet for Manchester United

0

David De Gea has equalled Peter Schmeichel’s record of 180 clean sheets for Manchester United. The Spaniard was able to stop Leicester City from scoring in their 3-0 win in the Premier League to achieve the feat. 

It took De Gea 521 games for the Red Devils to keep his 180th clean sheet, having joined them in 2011. Since then, he has been a constant presence between the posts and has earned his place as one of the best in the world. 

David De Gea matches Peter Schmeichel with 180 clean sheets 

The 32-year-old was called upon in the opening 25 minutes to deny Harvey Barnes and Kelechi Iheanacho from scoring. And he made no mistake from point blank range to keep the two Foxes away from the back of the net and seal the win for his side. He has now kept ten clean sheets this season, two more than the entirety of last year. 

Only recently, David De Gea became the first non-British player to make 400 appearances in the Premier League. He is the youngest to achieve this record, having spent twelve years with the Red Devils. 

The former Spain international’s contract expires in the summer, and a renewal has not been agreed as of yet. There have been talks for a goalkeeper better at distribution to join the club. But, with David De Gea’s exceptional form in their last few games, an extension could be likely for him. 

He has made no secret that he intends to continue with Manchester United – but there must be an agreement on the contract first.
