Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) batteries are rechargeable, operate with relatively low voltage of 6-12 volts and can give up to 90 minutes or more of backup illuminating power. They tend to be used in applications where long life, a high discharge rate and economical price are important. They are used as emergency lighting batteries due to their resistance to temperatures. When exposed to extreme heat or cold other batteries tend to lose their charge. Ni-Cds can withstand temperatures between -40°C to + 60°C.
LEDs are used in emergency lights and exit signs as they consume less energy, making them a more cost-effective alternative to conventional lights and exit signs with light bulbs. Their long lifespan also minimises maintenance costs and improves safety. The most commonly used battery types for LED emergency lighting are sealed lead acid and nickel cadmium.
Ni-Cd emergency lighting batteries are preferred over cheaper, lead-acid batteries, due to the longer life expectancy and are also smaller and lighter. They are easy to install & maintain - typically installed with wire leads that are permanently attached to the batteries.
It is crucial to ensure that they are allowed to fully charge before power is interrupted during installation. This is due to the memory effect - they'll remember that maximum charge level as the full charge level possible.
NiCad batteries must be tested monthly; light units typically come with an integral push-button switch that interrupts the power supply to the unit to facilitate testing. If the light turns on, the system is working. Yearly tests where power is interrupted for a full 90 minutes ensures that the battery is still capable of maintaining a full charge. The annual test is good maintenance for Ni-Cd emergency lighting batteries as they require full depletion of charge at least once a year to ensure long-life.
