Exit Sign and Emergency Light Batteries are designed to replace failed or expired batteries in compatible signs and lights to keep them in working order and in compliance with local safety codes. Safety codes require monthly testing to detect failing batteries, allowing replacement before old batteries are completely dead. Batteries remain ready to provide standby power to operate signs and lights during a power outage by trickle charging from AC power. These OEM replacement batteries are not interchangeable. They are compatible with exit signs and emergency lights of a specific make and model for proper fit, performance, and UL 294 compliance. Batteries at the end of their life cycle must be disposed of or recycled in accordance with local regulations.
Nickel Cadmium (NiCd) batteries are direct replacements for NiCd batteries in certain emergency lighting and exit sign applications. The terminal arrangement and overall dimensions of a NiCd battery must match the location of the mating connectors and the installation space within the equipment to ensure proper connection and fit.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP or LiFePO4) batteries are direct replacements for LFP batteries in certain emergency lighting and exit sign applications. The terminal arrangement and overall dimensions of an LFP battery must match the location of the mating connectors and the installation space within the equipment to ensure proper connection and fit.
Nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries are direct replacements for NiMH batteries in specific emergency lights and exit signs. The terminal placement and overall dimensions of a NiMH battery must match the location of mating connectors and the installation space within equipment to ensure a proper connection and fit.
Our replacement batteries are custom built packs ready for use in emergency lighting and exit signs.
Exit signs and emergency lighting are required in all public places, businesses, aircraft, boats and ships. Exit signs are used to designate the nearest escape route in the event of a fire or emergency, and a properly maintained exit sign battery is required to illuminate the exit path during a power outage. Emergency lighting fixtures can provide backlighting during emergencies or power outages and also require backup emergency light batteries for proper operation. Most government regulations require exit signs to be illuminated at all times.
Exit signs and emergency lighting legal requirements
Exit sign batteries and emergency lighting batteries are inspected occasionally by government officials to ensure that the equipment is operating according to specifications. Hefty fines can be levied against individuals or companies that have low or dead batteries in their emergency devices. Regular maintenance of exit signs or emergency lighting is required. Backup batteries must be replaced regularly to ensure that the power source is not depleted to the point that it cannot operate properly during an emergency or power outage. Properly maintained exit sign batteries or emergency lighting batteries are designed to provide at least 90 minutes of backup lighting in the event of a power outage.
Test your current exit sign or emergency lighting batteries
Today, most exit signs offer two sources of lighting. One of the power sources is powered by the building power source, while the second power source preserves lighting during an emergency or power outage by using a backup battery in the exit fixture. You can test the emergency lighting battery in an emergency light fixture or the exit sign battery in an exit sign by pressing the test button on the fixture to see if it lights up. If the backup battery is fully charged, the backup lighting source in the exit sign will illuminate when power is applied. The test button is usually located on the front or side of the emergency unit and is easily visible.
Exit sign battery replacement
The exit sign battery is located in one or more compartments behind the EXIT panel. If there are multiple exit light batteries or emergency light batteries in the emergency installation, it is best to replace all batteries at the same time. Exit sign panels can usually be opened and closed, some exit signs may require a screwdriver to remove screws from the panel to access the backup battery. Emergency light fixture batteries can be accessed by climbing a ladder and removing one or more lenses from the light fixture. When replacing exit batteries or emergency lighting batteries, follow the manufacturer's instructions, if necessary. When maintaining electrical circuits, be sure to follow the procedures specified in national and local electrical codes.
Purchase replacement export mark batteries
If your export sign uses an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) battery, the replacement cost of buying the same battery again can be high, but there are many alternatives that can meet or exceed OEM specifications.
