NiCd Batteries for Emergency and Exit Lights
NiCd (nickel cadmium) batteries are a crucial component for emergency lighting and exit signs. These batteries can deliver consistent power output for several hours. Consequently, they enable emergency lights to remain fully operational during critical situations, providing illumination for safe evacuation.
NiCd batteries should be replaced every three years to guarantee at least 90 minutes of operation during emergencies, in compliance with safety regulations. These batteries are specifically appropriate for emergency light fixtures that may demand more power due to their higher brightness and greater electricity consumption.
When selecting NiCd batteries for emergency systems, ensure compatibility with the existing emergency light battery models, as proper fit and voltage are imperative for the system's effectiveness.
Sealed Lead-acid Batteries for Emergency and Exit Lights
These sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries aren’t like your typical 12V car battery. They are specially sized AGM batteries with specialized terminals for wiring with major brands of emergency lighting fixtures, including both escape route lighting and exit signs. SLA batteries are particularly valued in high-demand settings due to their ability to deliver a long, strong burst of power as well as deliver a consistent power supply.
These batteries are designed to kick in instantly, which is critical for maintaining visibility in emergency situations. SLA batteries make reliable backup batteries, ready to take over when the primary power source fails. Because of their absorbed glass-mat technology, they can deliver long run times long after they’ve been charged.
When Do You Replace Batteries in Emergency Lights and Exit Signs?
Durable and long-lasting, NiCd batteries typically need replacement every three years. They're designed to operate at full capacity until their end, but it's vital for them to hold a charge for at least 90 minutes — the standard for emergency lighting systems.
Sealed lead-acid batteries can last much longer, about 3-5 years. They do require a full recharge every 24 hours to provide consistent backup power. If drained and left without recharging, an SLA battery may be damaged and lose capacity.
It’s critical to test emergency systems to make sure everything’s working properly, including the batteries. Monthly tests and annual battery replacements are recommended to ensure reliability, which contributes to the safety and compliance of your operations.
