Power interruptions are a reality across many Ugandan cities — Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja, Gulu, and Mbarara. When the electricity goes out, life stops: fans turn off, refrigerators risk spoiling food, children can’t study, and businesses face downtime. That’s why choosing the best battery distributor in Uganda in 2026 is a smart move for households, offices, and industries alike.
At Myoko India Private Limited, we design and supply batteries specifically engineered to handle tough electrical conditions, tropical heat, and long outages. In this guide, you’ll get a clear, no-nonsense walkthrough: our battery range (tubular, lithium-ion, and SMF), technical specifications, how to calculate backup needs, and which solution suits your home or business best.
Why High-Quality Batteries Are Essential in Uganda
According to reports from the Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL), many regions experience frequent power interruptions due to grid instability, load shedding, and maintenance schedules.
For families, students, and professionals, unreliable electricity is more than an inconvenience — it disrupts daily life.
“Reliable power is not a luxury. It’s a daily necessity. A dependable battery is the bridge between blackout and comfort.”
Investing in a quality battery from a trusted distributor ensures continuous power for lights, fans, refrigerators, security systems, and even internet connectivity.
Types of Batteries Available in Uganda – Which One Should You Choose?
1. Tubular Batteries – Affordable & Durable Power Backup
What They Are:
Tubular batteries are lead-acid batteries with tube-shaped positive plates. These plates efficiently store and release energy, making them perfect for deep-discharge applications like home inverters and solar systems.
Why They Work Well in Uganda:
- Long Backup: Can power homes for 4–12 hours depending on capacity (150Ah–250Ah).
- Durable in Heat: Performs well under tropical conditions common in Uganda.
- Cost-Effective: Offers a reliable solution for middle-class households.
- Low Maintenance: Requires only periodic water top-ups; lasts for years.
Best For: Homes, shops, small offices, and areas with frequent or long outages.

How to Calculate Battery Backup
Step 1: Determine Your Total Load
Appliance | Quantity | Power (Watts) | Total (Watts) |
Fan | 3 | 70 | 210 |
LED / Tube Light | 5 | 20 | 100 |
TV | 1 | 100 | 100 |
Wi-Fi Router | 1 | 20 | 20 |
Refrigerator | 1 | 200 | 200 |
Total Load | 630 W |
Step 2: Calculate Battery Capacity
Battery Capacity (Ah) = (Load × Backup Hours) ÷ (Battery Voltage × Efficiency)
Example: 5-hour backup, 12V system, 85% efficiency
(630 × 5) ÷ (12 × 0.85) = 3,150 ÷ 10.2 ≈ 309 Ah
You’ll need a 300–320Ah battery for 5 hours of backup at this load. For longer outages, combine multiple batteries.
Pro Tip:
- Small homes/apartments: 100–150Ah SMF or 150Ah tubular battery.
- Medium homes: 200–220Ah tubular battery (6–8 hours backup).
- Large homes/businesses: 250Ah+ tubular or lithium-ion solutions for high efficiency.
Choosing the Right Range in Uganda
- Small apartment / light usage: Myoko SMF 100–150Ah or Tubular 150Ah.
- Average 2–3 bedroom home: Myoko Tubular 200–220Ah (best cost-to-performance).
- Large home / heavy loads / long outages: Myoko Tubular 250Ah, multiple batteries, or Myoko Li-Power lithium range.
- Solar hybrid setups: Opt for Myoko Li-Power or Tubular 250Ah Solar range.
