What are diesel generator batteries?
What kind of battery do I need for my generator?
Generators have become ubiquitous in our everyday life & necessity in every business sector, be it hospitals, banks, offices, remote locations & residential apartments.
Generators require a high cranking current. Microtex DG batteries are capable of multiple cranks in excess of its requirement due to excellent capacity. Manufactured using state-of-the-art machines, with special calcium-tin alloys, it comes with a reliable performance & is maintenance-free.
Available in the complete most popular capacities 12v 90Ah to 12v 200Ah. Microtex is India’s leading Genset battery manufacturer.
A diesel generator needs to be cranked instantly when the power fails. Most generators located remotely have a built-in automatic mains failure & need to be automatically started immediately. The Genset needs a reliable starter battery to provide the high currents required for cranking the diesel engine. Genset batteries are built differently with a special chemical formulation in the active materials to provide for superior cranking currents to provide for a fail safe starting of the diesel engine.
With a Microtex Genset battery, you get:
- Trouble-free performance
- Consistent cranking currents
- Exceeds required number of cranks
- Excellent reserve capacity
- Superior sustained cranking current
- Reduced water topping-up needs
- Faster charge acceptance with nano-carbons!

Battery Mistakes All Genset Battery Owners Need To Avoid!
Do not mix new batteries with old batteries
Genset Battery reconditioning: often reconditioning an old DG battery can become quite a costly affair if you keep replacing weak batteries one by one; even the new battery will drain out rapidly as the old batteries tend to draw more out of the new one.
Genset replacement batteries: It is best to have an expert from the company visit you to have a thorough inspection of the DG batteries after a complete charge, compare the cell voltage, specific gravity to decide the state of charge & whether in needs to be replaced at all.
Avoid any sort of additives or desulfation methods
How to recondition DG batteries? DG Batteries are electro-chemical devices. All chemicals have a half-life period beyond which regeneration with chemical additives or desulfators for batteries have little effect if any temporary.
Genset Battery Lifespan: The normal mode of failure of Diesel Genset batteries is usually due to grid corrosion if the lead alloys are not designed properly. Desulfators cannot repair corroded grids.
