Pune’s mix of IT parks, student hubs and growing suburbs means there is steady demand for affordable power backup. If you have an old inverter and battery from an earlier home, you can turn them into cash quickly — buyers around Hinjewadi, Kothrud and Baner are always on the lookout.

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

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 Pune. Even a dead unit is not waste — the lead-acid battery (typically 20–30 kg) carries solid scrap value by weight, and local dealers pay per kilo for the recoverable lead.

Best ways to sell old inverter in Pune

1. OLX — best for maximum price

List under Electronics & Appliances with clear photos, the VA rating and brand. Buyers in Hinjewadi, Kothrud, Baner, Wakad and Viman Nagar browse OLX regularly, so a fair price draws quick responses. Note the battery age and whether it holds charge.

2. Quikr & local groups

Quikr works well alongside OLX. Society WhatsApp groups in Hinjewadi and Wakad townships are particularly effective — IT professionals moving between flats frequently need cheap backup, and local pickup makes it painless.

3. Battery scrap dealers & inverter shops

Old lead-acid batteries fetch reliable money by weight at scrap dealers across Pune. Second-hand inverter shops around the Camp and Bhawani Peth 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 Pune 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 Pune

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 Pune?

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.
