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.
However, the growth of wireless technology in intruder alarms has also 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.
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, if the mains power is lost. This ensures the system remains operational even during a power outage or if the main power is cut.
Why are reliable batteries so crucial?
With these advances in technology, the importance of choosing high-quality batteries that offer long life, durability, and dependability is more crucial than ever. YU-Lite batteries exclusively from GS Yuasa, the world’s leading battery manufacturer, provide the ideal solution for these demands.
YU-Lite 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 you need primary or secondary cell types, single or multiple pack configurations, YU-Lite has the right battery for your needs.
For wireless security systems especially, YU-Lite batteries ensure consistent, reliable energy to keep your operations running smoothly. 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.
“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.”
