Clearing space in a compact Mumbai flat? That old inverter and battery are worth real money rather than clutter. From Andheri to Thane and across Navi Mumbai, there is steady demand from new tenants, small shops and offices wanting affordable backup, so a fair listing usually sells fast.

How much can you get for an old inverter in Mumbai?

Working inverter + good battery (2–4 years): ₹2,500–₹7,000

Working inverter only: ₹1,200–₹3,000

Dead inverter / battery scrap (by weight): ₹400–₹1,200

A working sine-wave inverter with a healthy battery sells fastest in Mumbai. Even a dead unit is not waste — the lead-acid battery (usually 20–30 kg) carries solid scrap value by weight, and the city’s raddiwala and battery scrap dealers pay per kilo for the recoverable lead.

Best ways to sell old inverter in Mumbai

1. OLX — best for maximum price

List under Electronics & Appliances with clear photos, the VA rating and brand. Buyers in Andheri, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Borivali and Dadar search OLX regularly, so a reasonable price draws responses quickly. Note the battery age and whether it holds charge.

2. Quikr & local groups

Quikr works well in the MMR. Housing-society WhatsApp groups in Thane and Navi Mumbai towers are especially effective — neighbours moving in often need cheap backup, and pickup is simple since the buyer is in the same complex or nearby.

3. Battery scrap dealers & inverter shops

Old lead-acid batteries fetch reliable money by weight at raddiwala and battery scrap dealers across Mumbai. Second-hand inverter shops in Lamington Road and similar electronics markets buy working units to refurbish. Many dealers also give an exchange value against a new battery.

4. Exchange when buying new

If you are upgrading, Luminous, Exide and Amaron dealers in Mumbai often take your old battery and inverter in exchange and reduce your new purchase price. Amazon and Flipkart also run inverter and battery exchange offers during big sales.

Tips for selling in Mumbai

Split if the battery is weak: sell the inverter and battery separately — a working inverter alone still fetches ₹1,200–₹3,000.
Weigh the battery: scrap is paid per kg, so know the weight before negotiating with a dealer.
State VA rating and brand: mention 600VA/900VA, sine or square wave, and brand to attract the right buyer.
Disconnect safely: get an electrician to disconnect the battery terminals before handover to avoid acid spills or shorts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is an old inverter battery worth as scrap in Mumbai?

Scrap dealers pay by weight for the lead content. A typical 100–150Ah tubular battery of 20–30 kg can fetch ₹400–₹1,200 depending on current lead rates and condition.

Should I sell the inverter and battery together or separately?

If both work well, selling together gets the best total price. If the battery is weak, sell the working inverter on OLX and send only the battery to a scrap dealer — you usually net more that way.
