4.3 Battery Power
The batteries must be sealed lead acid type. Before you connect the batteries to the FACP, make certain that the
interconnect cable between the batteries is not
connected. Do not connect the battery jumper cable until the Sys-
tem is completely installed. Observe polarity when connecting the batteries.
The control panel battery charge capacity is 7.0 to 35 AH. The main control cabinet can house batteries up to 18 AH, larger
capacity batteries can be housed in an RBB (see Section 4.3.1 for details). Use 12V batteries of the same AH rating. Determine
the correct AH rating as per your current load calculation (see Section 3.7).
Wire batteries in series (in sequence) to produce a 24-volt equivalent. Do not parallel batteries to increase the AH rating. It is
recommended that you replace batteries every five years.
