Emergency Lighting

When the lights go out, emergency lighting saves lives. Naradex compact AGM batteries ensure exit signs, emergency luminaires, and fire alarm panels remain powered during evacuations.

The Challenge

  • Emergency lighting must activate instantly — zero delay tolerance
  • Batteries sit in standby for months or years, then must perform on demand
  • Building codes require regular testing that cycles batteries repeatedly
  • Compact installations demand small, lightweight batteries with reliable output

The Naradex Solution

Naradex ND12-26 and ND12-38 compact AGM batteries are ideal for emergency lighting systems. With ≤3% monthly self-discharge, they maintain charge during long standby periods. The sealed maintenance-free design eliminates inspection requirements, while fire resistant ABS containers (UL94-V0) meet building safety codes.

Instant Activation

AGM technology provides immediate power output — zero warm-up delay for emergency scenarios.

Ultra-Low Self-Discharge

≤3% per month at 25°C means batteries stay charged during months of standby.

Compact & Lightweight

ND12-26 at just 7.5kg fits inside standard emergency lighting enclosures.

Fire Resistant Container

UL94-V0 rated ABS meets building fire safety requirements.

Emergency Lighting FAQ

How long do Naradex batteries power emergency lighting?
Duration depends on the battery capacity and the lighting load. A single ND12-26 (26Ah) can power a 10W emergency luminaire for approximately 25 hours, or a 50W central system for about 5 hours. Most building codes require 1-3 hours of emergency lighting — our batteries exceed these requirements.
Do Naradex batteries meet fire safety building codes?
Yes. Naradex batteries use UL94-V0 rated fire resistant ABS containers, which is the highest flame retardant rating for battery enclosures. The sealed VRLA design also eliminates acid spill risks, meeting safety requirements for indoor installation.
How often should emergency lighting batteries be replaced?
With proper float charging, Naradex ND12 batteries are designed for 10 years of standby service at 25°C. Building codes typically require annual discharge testing — our 800-cycle rating at 50% DOD ensures reliability throughout the design life. Replace when tested capacity drops below 80% of rated.
Can I use Naradex batteries in self-contained emergency luminaires?
Yes. The ND12-26 (177×166×105mm, 7.5kg) and ND12-38 (196×166×150mm, 11kg) are specifically sized for self-contained and central battery emergency lighting systems. Their compact dimensions fit standard enclosures.
