I wanted fairly typical usage out of my inverter. Up to five lights, five fans, an air cooler, and one desktop and Internet router needed to light up, and stay up for around four hours at a stretch since my locality typically sees two hours of load shedding in the afternoon.
For all this, a 1100VA inverter, with a 150Ah battery sounded like a good combination. The next step was choosing which specific ones to buy.
I went with the Luminous Zelio, (Buy Online from Luminous Official Online Shop - goo.gl/QgbynH) because it has a sleek design that doesn't look out of place in the house, a very easy to understand display that shows the time required to charge, and the amount of backup in the batteries. It's a pure sine wave inverter that kicks in instantly so a power cut doesn't mean that my connection is temporarily reset, or any other annoyance like that. It's also equipped with a number of other features such as short-circuit protection, and input mains protection.
For the battery, I went with Luminous 150Ah tubular battery instead of Exide, because of the 4-year warranty.
