Exide HP 230 UPS Battery 160Ah Price in Pakistan

If your outages run two hours or longer, the Exide HP 230 is the first HP model that starts to feel comfortable. It is a 12 volt, 160Ah flooded battery with 21 plates, built in the same box format as the rest of the Exide HP Deep Cycle range. Against the HP 200 it adds 30Ah and four extra plates.

At 160Ah the usable energy works out to about 816 watt-hours, using our usual formula of Ah x 12 x 0.5 x 0.85, then dividing by the load. On 300W you can expect about 2 hours 43 minutes. With a fridge and fans on, around 600W, it gives about 1 hour 22 minutes. Leaving the battery at half charge rather than empty is what keeps those figures from falling quickly with age.

This size suits a 12V UPS of 1 to 1.5 kVA. Two HP 230 batteries in series also make a 24V bank for a 2 to 3 kVA UPS or solar inverter. Check the charger: 160Ah wants about 16 to 24 amps of charging current. Many basic home UPS units give less, and then the battery never quite fills. The 21 plates are a common size people search for, and you can compare other 21-plate options on our UPS battery page (UPS Battery).

Being flooded, it needs water top-ups. A monthly check is usually enough in winter; in summer look every two weeks. Distilled water only, filled to just over the plates. Our guide explains the steps and safety points (How to Check Battery Water and Top It Up Safely).

Exide lists a 6 month warranty for the HP 230. Lifespan depends on use, so we do not promise years. If you cycle the battery deeply every day with solar, a tall tubular battery usually lasts longer, and a lithium battery longer still, at a higher upfront cost.

If you are replacing a 21-plate battery from another brand, the HP 230 is a like-for-like swap in capacity terms, but always compare the box size and terminal positions so the cables reach without strain. Give the new battery a full charge before relying on it, and keep a note of the date you install it. That makes warranty claims and future water checks easier to track. A simple log of top-up dates also shows early if the charger is pushing too hard. Order the HP 230 from Syed Non Custom Solar, and check the live price shown above first.
