20. STANDBY BATTERY REQUIREMENTS
20.1 Standby battery calculation
In order to calculate the standby battery size required, the following formula can be used:-
Battery Size (Standby time in Amp Hours) = 1.25 x [(Df x T
ALM
x I
ALM
)+ (T
SBY
x I
Q
)]
(DF is a derating factor (typically = 2) used when a battery has to supply a high current load)
Where:
T
ALM
= Maximum time in hours required for the alarm [½ hour is most common time]
I
ALM
= Total Alarm Current in amps for all alarm devices connected to the alarm circuits
T
SBY
= Standby time in hours for the system after mains failure [normally 24, 48 or 72 hr]
I
QP
= Quiescent current in amps of control panel in fault condition [because of mains failure]
I
QZ
= Quiescent current in amps of all detection zones.
20.2 Device Values for Battery calculation
This is the current used during mains failure
Infinity ID2 Sounder
Flasher Base + detector
14.7mA for first alarm on a zone. Subsequent
sounder flashers will take 7.2mA (Detector Reset)
20.3 Example battery calculation
A system comprises of a 4 zone ID2 panel, with 10 sounder-flasher bases, 1 call point, 1 Wall sounder flasher
(xtratone), and one I/O per zone and the required standby is 24 hours. It will need to operate in alarm for ½
hour.
Calculate the battery size required.
T
ALM
= 0.5 Hr
T
SBY
= 24 Hr
I
QP
= 0.050A (Quiescent current for panel)
I
QD
= 4 x ((10x0.9)+0.6+0.65+1.0)/1000 = 4 x 11.25/1000 = 0.045 A
I
AP
= 0.102A
I
AD
= 4 x ((10x7.2)+2.5+7.3+2.0)/1000 = 4 x 83.8/1000 = 0.3352 A
Therefore using the equation:
Battery Size (Standby time in Amp Hours) = 1.25 x [(Df x T
ALM
x (I
AP
+I
AD
) )+ (T
SBY
x (I
QP
+ I
QD
))]
Battery Size (Standby time in Amp Hours) = 1.25 x [(2 x 0.5 x (0.102+0.3352)) + (24 x (0.050 + 0.045 ))]
Battery Size (Standby time in Amp Hours) = 1.25 x [0.4372 + 2.28]
Battery Size (Standby time in Amp Hours) = 1.25 x 2.7172
Battery Size (Standby time in Amp Hours) = 3.3965 Amp Hours
This system would require a minimum of 3.3965 Ah batteries, so we would recommend using 3.4Ah batteries (as
the enclosure is designed for this size batteries).
