The growth of wireless technology in intruder alarms has had an impact on the battery requirements of security systems. Wireless sensors and components rely on batteries to power them, and these batteries need to be replaced or recharged more frequently than in traditional wired systems where the battery is only used for backup power.
With these advances in technology, the importance of choosing high-quality batteries that offer long life, durability, and dependability is more crucial than ever. Here the battery experts at Yuasa, explain why batteries, such as the company’s exclusive Yu-Lite battery series, provide an ideal solution for these demands.
Wireless technology has revolutionised the way intruder alarms and security systems are designed and implemented. New developments have greatly increased the flexibility and scalability of security systems, making them more suitable for a wide range of applications.
Wireless sensors and components rely on batteries to power them, and these batteries need to be replaced or recharged more frequently than in traditional wired systems where the battery is only used for backup power. In addition, the control panel in most wireless systems is still mains-powered, so backup systems are incorporated to automatically switch to a backup battery, such Yuasa’s stalwart NP7-12 for example, if the mains power is lost. This ensures the system remains operational even during a power outage or if the main power is cut.
The GS Yuasa Yu-Lite batteries are designed to ensure consistent, reliable energy to keep your operations running smoothly, especially in wireless systems. The Alarm System battery range contains non-rechargeable Lithium and rechargeable NiMH options and is specifically designed for use in Hikvision and Pyronix security systems, offering superior performance and longevity.
These batteries are engineered to perform. Designed for use in emergency lighting, wireless security, fire, and other industrial applications, the Yu-Lite range features NiCd, NiMH and lithium chemistries. Whether it is primary or secondary cell types, single or multiple pack configurations, this series can provide the right option for the application.
“While it may be tempting to save money by purchasing cheaper generic batteries, the risks far outweigh the potential savings,” says Jon Pritchard, Sales & Marketing Director for GS Yuasa Battery Sales UK Ltd. “Using lower quality products may mean they need to be replaced before a full service interval, leading to additional costs over time as well as the inconvenience of frequent replacement. In addition, they may not perform as well at the critical moment or provide enough power to keep the system running during an extended power outage, rendering it inoperable and putting the security of a premises at risk.”
