Exide IZTT2200HL vs Livguard IT2272TT
Two 220 Ah batteries side by side on the specs each maker states.
- Specs from makers’ pages
- Same backup method for both
Side by side
Same Ah means about the same backup. The real differences are warranty (especially the free-replacement part), weight (more lead usually lasts longer) and the dealer’s service.

What actually differs
- Exide publishes a backup figure for IZTT2200HL; Livguard doesn’t for IT2272TT.
- Livguard IT2272TT gives 12 more months of free replacement (48 against 36). That is the part of the warranty that matters most: in the pro-rata part you pay a share of a new battery.
Backup at common loads
Our estimate for a healthy battery on a 12 V inverter. Where the maker publishes a figure, it is in the table above; use that first.
