Powering Alarms and Security Systems
- by Joe Weber - updated on 6/5/2024
Protecting your business equipment, merchandise, property and don't forget people, is one of the most important aspects of owning and operating a business. Businesses have fire and security systems to protect themselves from evildoers and whatever nature throws their way.
It only makes sense to have backup battery systems and batteries on hand to keep those systems up and running at their full potential. Avoid downtime and replace fire and security batteries before they die.
Being Proactive Is Key
As a business owner, property manager or facilities director, you understand the importance of being prepared for the unexpected. Between staff, infrastructure and product, hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars may be invested into the business. All of that must be protected.
Having a well-thought-out fire and security system is really only step one when you get down to it. But the next step - and probably even more important - is having enough backup power or batteries to maintain all of the systems with minimal interruptions to operation.
Have Batteries On Hand
To ensure you have a constant supply of backup batteries, simply speak with your business account representative. Your dedicated business account rep will help you determine your needs and make sure enough stock makes its way to you so that you'll have it on hand before it's needed, not after.
What kind of batteries are used in alarm systems?
Generally, you will find two types of batteries being used in commercial alarm systems:
Most commercial fire and security systems use sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries. SLA batteries are a tried and true battery that has proven year after year that it's a solid battery for this use.
- Have a lower upfront cost
- SLA batteries are durable and built to last
- They are easier to restore to healthy levels from being completely drained than other batteries
- Easy to maintain
Lithium iron phosphate batteries are an up-and-coming battery that is taking the world by storm. LiFePO4 batteries pack a punch with more power and longer lifespans.
- Twice the power of SLA
- 10x longer life than SLA
- Higher upfront cost
- Save money over time with few battery purchases
- Zero maintenance
