Maximum Protection with 12 Volt 7 Amp Battery Fire Alarms
How long will a 12 volt 7 amp battery power a fire alarm?
A 12 volt 7 amp lead acid battery such as the Yuasa Yucel which are sold here at fire trade supplies. sealed power supply, is suitable for powering a fire alarm.
Depending on the manufacturer's specifications, the battery can provide power to the fire alarm for approximately 4-5 hours.
It is important to check the manufacturer’s instructions for the exact voltage and amperage needs of your particular fire alarm before purchasing a battery.
What kind of fire alarm is powered by a 12 volt 7 amp battery?
A 12 volt 7 amp lead acid battery is a reliable, rechargeable power source commonly used to power a wide range of fire alarm systems.
Yuasa, Yucel, and other major lead acid battery makers offer a variety of maintenance free and sealed batteries that provide the necessary voltage and supply to power fire alarm systems. These batteries will work on such brands as Honeywell Gent, Advanced, C-tec and more.
These batteries are durable and can be used in both residential and industrial environments.
How long will a 12 volt 7 amp battery power a fire alarm?
The duration that a 12 volt 7 amp battery can power a fire alarm panel, and is also dependent on the number of devices which are connected to the panel.
Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries are commonly used for fire alarms due to their low rates of self-discharge, power density, and maintenance-free design.
A 12V 7AH SLA battery from a trusted brand like Yuasa or Yucel will provide enough power to keep a fire alarm active for a long period of time, definently enough for a engineer to be called out and sort the issue.
However, it is important to consider the voltage drop that may occur over time, and to regularly monitor the battery's voltage to ensure that the alarm is still operational
