I have a Microtek 1100VA inverter connected to a Exide Invared 500+ 150Ah battery. As I noted for the past couple of months the power consumption from this unit is around 7 units per day and roughly around 200 plus units per month. This is when the inverter is in standby mode and not charging (or maybe trickle charging). Whenever the inverter is charging after a power failure it adds up couple of more units to the perday unit. There is no power cut and the power goes off very rarely in my area. So mostly the inverter is in standby mode only throughout the month. Also I should mention that the battery is 7 years old but maintained good and still has decent backup for 4 hours or more depending upon the load. I am not sure if this power consumption is normal with any or all of the inverters with this capacity. I feel that the inverter alone is taking up too much of power consumption. Any solution to reduce the power consumption of the inverter? I do not want to invest on new battery or inverter now.
