What is emergency lighting battery replacement and why is it important?

Emergency lighting battery replacement involves removing old or degraded batteries from emergency lights and installing new, compliant ones. This service ensures your emergency lighting system can provide at least 90 minutes of backup during a power failure, as required by AS 2293 standards.

How often should emergency lighting batteries be replaced?

Most emergency lighting batteries last between 3 to 5 years before needing replacement. However, this can vary depending on usage, environmental conditions, and the manufacturer's specifications. Regular testing helps identify when a battery needs replacing before it fails during an actual emergency.

What happens if my emergency lighting batteries are not replaced on time?

Failing to replace expired or underperforming batteries can result in emergency lights not functioning properly during a power outage. This poses a serious safety risk and may lead to non-compliance with fire safety regulations, which could result in penalties or legal liability.
