A MANUFACTURER of inverters, batteries and solar solutions, Genus Innovation Ltd, and the exclusive distributors of Genus in Nigeria, Simba Industries, yesterday launched a carbon technology-based tubular battery for inverters.
The heavy-duty battery was developed by Genus’ in-house research and development team to meet the power and usage conditions of countries like Nigeria.
Mr Sandeep Sharma of Simba Industries said: “Genus is best known as the pre-eminent innovator in the inverter space, and was the first company in India – the biggest inverter market – to design and popularise the Sine Wave Inverter which has come to be the industry standard here in Nigeria.
“Using patented carbon-based technologies and nano-materials to ensure that the battery plates are more resistant against charging current while allowing a greater depth-of-discharge and more charge cycles, Genus has achieved the trifecta – a battery that charges faster lasts longs and performs better.”

The firm said the innovations and technical developments enabled it to offer an industry-leading 24-month warranty on the batteries from this year.
It added that Genus batteries are available through Simba’s extensive network of dealers nationwide.
Simba Group, founded in Nigeria in 1988, is a conglomerate with operations across Nigeria’s most dynamic economic sectors.
