According to a statement, Genus said it sought to create batteries which met the demanding usage conditions and also excelled in those conditions.

Mr Sandeep Sharma of Simba Industries noted that Genus was best known as the pre-eminent innovator in the inverter space.

He also said it was the first company in India to design and popularise the Sine Wave Inverter which had come to be the industry standard in Nigeria.

Mr Sharma said, “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 longer and performs better.

“These innovations and technical developments have enabled the company to offer an industry-leading 24-month warranty on these batteries for the end consumer from 2021.
