4.3 Battery Power
The batteries must be sealed lead acid type. Before connecting the batteries to the FACP, make certain that the
interconnect cable between the batteries is not
connected. Do not connect the battery jumper cable until the
system is completely installed. Observe polarity when connecting the batteries.
The control panel battery charge capacity is 17 to 55 AH. Use 12V batteries of the same AH rating. Determine
the correct AH rating as per your standby load calculation (see Section 3.7).
Wire batteries in series to produce a 24-volt equivalent. Do not parallel batteries to increase the AH rating. It is
recommended that you replace batteries every five years.

1. Mount the accessory cabinet. See Figure 4-5 for the four cabinet mounting holes.
• If mounting onto drywall the accessory cabinet must be mounted onto ¾-inch ply-
wood. This is necessary because the weight of the batteries inside the accessory cabi-
net could cause the cabinet to pull away from the drywall.
• When mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of
