Ahmedabad’s hot summers make home power backup a household essential, so an old inverter and battery have a ready market. Across Satellite, Maninagar and Bopal, families, tenants and small businesses regularly look for affordable backup, and a fairly priced unit usually sells within days.

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

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 Ahmedabad. Even a dead unit is worth something — the lead-acid battery (typically 20–30 kg) carries solid scrap value by weight, and the city’s many scrap dealers pay per kilo for the recoverable lead.

Best ways to sell old inverter in Ahmedabad

1. OLX — best for maximum price

List under Electronics & Appliances with clear photos, the VA rating and brand. Buyers in Satellite, Maninagar, Bopal, Vastrapur and Naranpura browse OLX regularly, so a reasonable price gets fast responses. Note the battery age and whether it holds charge.

2. Quikr & local groups

Quikr works well alongside OLX. Society WhatsApp groups in Satellite and Bopal complexes are particularly effective — neighbours moving in often want cheap backup, and local pickup keeps the deal simple.

3. Battery scrap dealers & inverter shops

Old lead-acid batteries fetch reliable money by weight at scrap dealers across Ahmedabad. Second-hand inverter shops in markets like Gheekanta and Relief Road 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 Ahmedabad often take your old battery and inverter in exchange and knock the value off the new purchase. Amazon and Flipkart also run inverter and battery exchange offers during sales.

Tips for selling in Ahmedabad

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 Ahmedabad?

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.
