Smarten Saver 170 AH Lead Acide Battery

The Smarten Saver 170 AH is a high-performance Tall Tubular Lead-Acid battery specifically engineered for solar energy storage and heavy-duty home inverter systems.¹ Designed by Smarten Power Systems, it belongs to the “Saver” series, which focuses on high charge acceptance and durability in regions facing long and frequent power outages.²

Below are the detailed technical specifications and features for the Smarten Saver 170 AH (Model: SRTT 1700).

1. Electrical & Performance Specifications

The 170 AH rating is calculated based on the C10 rating, which is the gold standard for solar batteries, as it reflects the battery’s efficiency over a 10-hour discharge period.

• Nominal Voltage: 12V DC.

• Rated Capacity (C10): 170 AH @ 27°C.³

   

• Total Energy Capacity: ~2,040 Watt-hours (2.04 kWh).

• Charging Current:

  • Recommended: 15A ± 2A.

  • Maximum: Up to 18A (depending on the inverter/charger setting).

• Self-Discharge Rate: Extremely low, less than 3% per month due to Hi-Power Selenium technology.

• Efficiency: * Ampere-Hour Efficiency: > 90%

  • Watt-Hour Efficiency: > 80%

2. Advanced Technologies

The Smarten Saver stands out due to specific manufacturing technologies that increase its lifespan and performance:⁴

• Hi-Power Selenium Grid Technology: It uses a Lead-Selenium alloy instead of standard Lead-Antimony. This significantly reduces water loss (evaporation) and internal grid corrosion, making the battery almost “self-sustainable” and low-maintenance.⁵

   

• JTB (Jumbo Tubular Battery) Technology: The positive plates are designed in a tubular shape, which provides a larger surface area for chemical reactions. This allows the battery to handle high surge currents (like when a fridge or motor starts) without damage.⁶

   

• Deep Discharge Recovery: Many lead-acid batteries die if they reach 0% charge. The Saver series is a “Programmable Battery” equipped to recover even from a zero-volt state using independent chargers.

3. Physical & Build Quality

The battery is housed in a “Tall Tubular” container, which is superior for heat dissipation and electrolyte volume.

• Container Material: High-impact Polypropylene Co-Polymer (PPCP), which is leak-proof and rugged.

• Dimensions (L x W x H): Approximately 505 mm x 193 mm x 412 mm.

• Weight:

  • Dry Weight: ~42 kg.

  • Wet Weight (with Acid): ~60 kg to 62 kg.

• Maintenance Features: 6 Float Level Indicators (vent plugs) are included to allow users to monitor distilled water levels at a glance.⁷

   

4. Charging & Operating Parameters

To ensure the battery lasts its full intended life (5–7 years), the following settings should be used on your inverter/PCU:

5. Warranty & Service

• Warranty: 60 Months (36 Months Full Replacement + 24 Months Pro-rata).

• Solar Compatibility: Fully compatible with PWM and MPPT Solar Charge Controllers.

6. Estimated Backup Performance

Backup time depends on the total load (Watts) connected to the inverter. Below is a guide for a single 170 AH battery:

• 200W Load (e.g., 4 LED bulbs + 2 Fans + 1 TV): ~7.5 to 8.5 Hours

• 400W Load (e.g., 6 Bulbs + 4 Fans + 1 PC + 1 TV): ~3.5 to 4.5 Hours

• 800W Load (High load/Emergency): ~1.5 to 2 Hours

Maintenance Tip: Always use distilled water for topping up.⁸ Never use tap water or mineral water, as the minerals will cause internal short circuits and void your warranty.
