Bear in mind that acid and steel don't mix well!

Having said that, our battery is on the bottom shelf of a steel shelf unit, with the inverter above it. I always meant to buy a rubber mat to put it on, but the piece of wood seems to have become permanent.

I was using Amaron Tall Tubular 150Ah battery since 2013. Since there are no major powercuts in Chennai, I could not gauge the battery backup recently. Last week the battery could not sustain a 30 min outage. Promptly went to a nearby store and bought a new one of the same make and model. It cost me 11,000 including buy back.
