My Mecer Inverter is less than a year old but it slow been giving me less and less time on the battery.
It's now showing charging continuously all day and never fully charges and as soon as load shedding kicks in my inverter beeps a few times and the battery is on one bar and my tv and pc shut off but the inverter is still on, but only with the one bar strength.
Is the battery stuffed and are they under warranty at all.
 
Battery is stuffed and I doubt it would be replaced under warranty.. does depend on whether you have abused the battery by discharging it past the recommended discharge level or not..

Next cycle buy lithium

Yes lead acid isn't up to the abuse of loadshedding

You have to pull very light load to get a lead acid battery to survive

Guarantee wise ,many sellers actually state due to load shedding no guarantee on lead acid batteries

Or the terms may say x cycles
Which tends to be 200-300 cycles ie 100days of load shedding which means 3 months

Now yes many don't cycle that deep them they can last longer
 
Lithium is expensive

But keep in mind a single lithium is at best case scenario equal to 2 lead acids

And worst case scenario under heavier loads 1 lithium equals 3lead acids

If lead acid is used correctly
If not it goes south very quickly
