What You’ll Need to Set Up Your Home Battery Backup System
Before diving into the installation, make sure you have the following components:
- A&E Dunamis Tubular Battery (12v 220Ah)
- Inverter/Charger (Pure sine wave recommended)
- Battery rack or casing
- Wiring kit (with appropriate fuses and circuit breakers)
- MCB and surge protection
- Solar charge controller (if using solar input)
- Safety gear (gloves, goggles)
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
1. Choose the Right Location
Place the battery system in a cool, well-ventilated, and dry area. Avoid direct sunlight and ensure there is enough space around the battery for heat dissipation.
2. Mount Your Inverter and Controller
Secure the inverter on a wall or stable surface. If you’re integrating solar power, install a solar charge controller as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.

- Do the same for the negative terminal
- Use proper gauge wires to prevent overheating
- Install a fuse or breaker between the battery and inverter for safety
4. Connect to Power Sources
- To the Grid: Connect the inverter to your home’s main AC panel via a bypass switch
- To Solar Panels (optional): Connect solar panels to the charge controller, which then connects to the battery and inverter
5. Test the System
Once everything is connected:
- Turn on the inverter
- Charge the battery fully before first use
- Run a test to check if the backup kicks in during a simulated outage
Tips for Maintaining Your A&E Dunamis Tubular Battery
- Check electrolyte levels every 2–3 months and top up with distilled water
