UTL vs Livguard batteries

On a 150 Ah tubular battery the two brands meet in the middle and part at the top. UTL's UIT16036 and Livguard's IT1560STT both list 36 + 24 months. Livguard's IT1584TT goes further, at 60 + 24.

Look at the model before the brand. At the most common level the two warranties are identical, and the gap only opens on Livguard’s longest-warranty battery.

UTL’s longest-warranty battery sits outside this table because it is larger: the 170 Ah USB 17100 lists 100 months in total, though UTL does not state how that divides between free replacement and pro-rata.

Choose Livguard if

  • You want the longest battery warranty on a 150 Ah model. The IT1584TT lists 60 + 24 months.

Choose UTL if

  • You are comparing like with like at 36 + 24 months, where the two match, and want the battery to come from the same brand as your inverter and panels.
  • You want one service network for the whole system. That matters most on a hybrid system, where the battery and the inverter work together.
