Buying a battery today is not as simple as picking one off the shelf. From solar storage to electric scooters, the Indian market is flooded with options — and unfortunately, misinformation too.
At Infilith, we meet thousands of customers who still believe outdated or false battery facts. So in this post, we’re busting the most common battery myths — and replacing them with facts that’ll help you buy smarter.
Myth #1: “Lithium batteries are dangerous and catch fire easily.”
✅ Truth:
Modern lithium batteries with smart BMS (Battery Management System) are extremely safe.
Infilith batteries are built with:
- 🔒 Multi-layer protection
- 🔥 Overheat cut-off
- 📱 Smart BMS for real-time monitoring
- 🔧 BIS & ISO certifications
Unsafe batteries usually come from cheap, unregulated sources — not from certified Indian brands like Infilith.
Myth #2: “Lead-acid batteries are better for Indian homes.”
✅ Truth:
Lead-acid is outdated. Lithium batteries are now better for almost every application in India:
| Feature | Lead-Acid | Lithium (Infilith) |
|---|---|---|
| Charging Time | 8–10 hrs | 2–3 hrs |
| Life | 1–2 years | 5–10 years |
| Maintenance | Frequent (water refills) | None |
| Weight | Very heavy | Lightweight |
Lithium is more efficient, durable, and compact — making it ideal for Indian homes, solar, and EVs.
Myth #3: “More Ah (Ampere-hour) means better battery.”
✅ Truth:
Ah rating shows capacity, but performance also depends on:
- 🔋 Battery chemistry (LFP, NMC)
- 🔌 Discharge rate (C-rating)
- ⚙️ Inverter or load compatibility
- 🔋 Number of cycles & efficiency
A 100Ah lithium battery will outperform a 150Ah lead-acid battery in real-world usage.
Myth #4: “All lithium batteries are the same.”
✅ Truth:
Lithium batteries vary in quality based on:
- 📦 Cell type (NMC, LFP, etc.)
- 🧠 Quality of BMS
- 🔧 Manufacturing standards
- 🔋 Application design (solar, EV, inverter)
Infilith uses only A-grade cells, advanced BMS, and application-specific design — unlike generic Chinese imports.
Myth #5: “You must drain the battery fully before recharging.”
✅ Truth:
That rule applied to older Ni-Cd or lead-acid batteries. Lithium batteries perform best when recharged before full discharge. In fact, partial charging increases battery life.
Myth #6: “EV batteries degrade quickly in Indian heat.”
✅ Truth:
Infilith EV batteries are built for Indian road and climate conditions, with:
- 🌡️ Heat-resistant design
- 🔒 Thermal management system
- 📱 App-based health monitoring
- 🔋 Fast charging with protection
Our batteries last 3–5 years even in cities like Nagpur or Ahmedabad.
Myth #7: “Lithium batteries are too expensive.”
✅ Truth:
Lithium batteries may cost more upfront, but they:
- Last 4–5x longer than lead-acid
- Charge faster = save electricity
- Require zero maintenance
- Provide more backup in less space
Over 5 years, lithium batteries are cheaper and more reliable.
