{"title":"Emergency Lighting","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEmergency lighting exists for one moment — the moment everything else goes dark. When a power failure hits a commercial building, a school, a healthcare facility, or any occupied space, exit signs and emergency fixtures are the only thing guiding people safely out of the building. A battery that hasn't been maintained or replaced on schedule means that guidance disappears exactly when people need it most, and in a life safety context that failure carries consequences that go well beyond a code violation. Emergency lighting batteries are not something to run until failure — they are something to stay ahead of, because the test that matters most is the one you don't see coming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWe carry emergency lighting batteries across the full range of commercial and institutional applications — NiCad and NiMH battery packs for emergency fixtures and exit signs, replacement cells for emergency ballasts, and life safety battery solutions for building systems that need to meet code and perform under real conditions when the power goes out. Whether you are maintaining a single facility or managing battery replacement schedules across multiple properties, finding the right UL listed emergency lighting battery here for your specific fixture brand and model is straightforward and reliable. Stay ahead of your replacement schedule, keep your egress lighting ready, and make sure the battery behind your emergency system is never the reason it fails the one time it absolutely cannot.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"van-lien-400202-replacement-battery-36v-3000mah-ni-cd","title":"Van Lien 400202 Emergency Light Replacement Battery 3.6V 3000mAh","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"bpw-desc\"\u003e\n  \u003ch2 class=\"bpw-desc-h2\"\u003eVan Lien 400202 \/ 1190010V \/ VTC3H1 — 3.6V Ni-CD Replacement Battery (3C2500B)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-lead\"\u003eThis is a 3.6V 3000mAh (10.8Wh) Ni-CD replacement battery for Van Lien emergency lighting fittings.

When the controller sees a voltage outside that window on first connection, it holds the fault or charging indicator red rather than transitioning to green. This is not a faulty cell or a faulty fitting. Leave the unit on mains power for 24 hours undisturbed. The controller will trickle charge the cell up through the acceptance threshold and switch the indicator to green once float voltage is reached — typically 13.5–14.4V for a 12V NiCd pack at end of charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eFitting still shows a fault LED after a confirmed good installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eSome Kaufel fittings latch a fault LED in hardware and do not self-clear when a new cell is connected — the fault flag was set by the previous failed cell and stays set until manually reset. On most 002256-series fittings, the reset procedure is a sustained press of the test button for 5–10 seconds with mains power present after the cell voltage has recovered above 12V. If the LED persists beyond 24 hours of charge, check the cell terminals are seated fully and measure cell voltage directly — it should read above 12.0V before attempting a reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43360322388058,"sku":"BWCS-KUF256LS-1","price":108.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43360322420826,"sku":"BWCS-KUF256LS-2","price":128.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43360322453594,"sku":"BWCS-KUF256LS-3","price":142.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-KUF256LS-1.webp?v=1778611090"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/collections\/BW-CS-MBP300FM-7.webp?v=1780883159","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/collections\/emergency-lighting.oembed?page=19","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
