Emergency Lights Batteries

Emergency light batteries are one of the most important components of an emergency light fixture. The batteries located inside the units provide the source of power used by the light fixture during emergencies to provide illumination along a building's egress path (exit pathway). The light produced by the emergency lamp heads helps occupants find their way to the nearest exit.

When replacing emergency light batteries, it is important to know the type, voltage, and amperage of the battery you are replacing. Sealed lead acid and Nickel Cadmium batteries are the most popular types. Sealed lead acid batteries have been used in emergency lights for the last 30 years, whereas Nickel Cadmium batteries have become more popular in recent times because of their longer lifespan and smaller size.

Emergency Light Batteries come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The 6 volt 4.5 amp sealed lead acid battery is one of the most common models found in emergency light fixtures. It is affordably priced and can ship today.

We offer all different shapes, sizes, and models of emergency light batteries and we are here to help you answer any emergency light battery related questions you might have.

Without properly functioning batteries, emergency lights will not operate correctly and lives could be put in danger during an emergency situation such as a fire, earthquake, or other situation in which AC power to the building is lost and the lighting system shuts down. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) guidelines require monthly and yearly testing of emergency light batteries to insure that the units are functioning properly in case a power outage occurs.

Emergency Light Batteries:

• Power lamp heads during emergency situations
• Must provide last for at least 90 minutes
• Are affordable and easy to replace
• Come in different voltages and amperages
• Must be tested every month and year per OSHA regulations

Battery test buttons are standard on all emergency lights and allow easy observation of the battery backup system's capability. By pressing in the test button, AC power to the emergency light fixture is cut off and the unit switches over to emergency mode, which uses the battery for power.

A properly functioning, fully charged, emergency light battery will operate a fixture constantly for at least 90 minutes. UL (Underwriters Laboratories) requires that emergency light batteries maintain a 90 minute emergency runtime. If batteries cannot last that long, they must be replaced. Many emergency light fixtures now come with a self-testing option, which enables the unit to run the monthly and yearly diagnostic battery tests automatically, eliminating maintenance and improving efficiency of the building's emergency lighting system.

A properly functioning, fully charged, emergency light battery will operate a fixture constantly for at least 90 minutes. UL (Underwriters Laboratories) requires that emergency light batteries maintain a 90 minute emergency runtime. If batteries cannot last that long, they must be replaced. The UL 924 Listing is only featured on emergency fixtures that meet or exceed UL's rigorous testing procedures.
