Technical FAQs 4

How do I choose a base station?

Key Factors: Power Consumption: Determine the base station’s load (in watts). Backup Duration: Identify the required backup time (hours). Battery Voltage: Select the correct voltage based on system design. Efficiency & Discharge Rate: Consider battery efficiency and discharge characteristics.

How many batteries does the base station take?

The Base Station takes four (4) 1.2V, 1300mAh nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. Regular alkaline batteries should never be inserted into the Base Station, as they may damage the device. Once you have acquired the necessary NiMH rechargeable batteries, you can follow the steps below to replace them:

What makes a telecom battery pack compatible with a base station?

Compatibility and Installation Voltage Compatibility: 48V is the standard voltage for telecom base stations, so the battery pack’s output voltage must align with base station equipment requirements. Modular Design: A modular structure simplifies installation, maintenance, and scalability.

Do I need to replace my base station's batteries?

If you're not certain which system you have, see the Which Version of the SimpliSafe® System Do I Have article. You will likely never need to replace your Base Station's batteries as they are rechargeable and meant to last. The Base Station takes four (4) 1.2V, 1300mAh nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries.
