Technical FAQs 4

Why do railways need a signal battery?

Signaling batteries cater to an important function in the railways – safety. There can be no scope for error or failure of the signaling system. When there is a power outage, Microtex signal batteries seamlessly supply continuous power to signaling equipment.

Should you use a telecom battery?

Telecom batteries should be built to withstand incredibly harsh conditions, including natural disasters. That’s because, as the main power backup for your telecom system, they need to be up even when everything else is down. Durability is one reason both AGM and lithium-ion batteries are recommended for telecom use.

What types of batteries are used in Telecom?

There are two main types of batteries that are used in telecom: lead-acid batteries and lithium-ion batteries. Lead-acid batteries come in several varieties, including wet batteries, sealed or SLA batteries, gel batteries, and AGM batteries.

What kind of battery does a security alarm use?

Security alarm panels commonly utilize 12V lead-acid batteries (4Ah–9Ah) for reliable backup. Wireless sensors primarily rely on lithium batteries (CR123, CR2032, AA) for extended durability. Routine battery maintenance, timely replacements, and proper testing are essential for system reliability and compliance.
