ECC-125DA Battery Calculation: Secondary Power Source Requirements

This document summarizes the battery calculations for a fire alarm system with one ECC-125DA module and no additional devices. The standby current draw is 0.3750 amps and the alarm current draw is 0.7000 amps. Based on these current draws and the required standby and alarm times, the total amp-hour load is calculated to be 11.01 amp-hours. A 12AH battery is recommended to provide sufficient backup power for the system.

Calculation in Total Sheet
Required Standby Time in Hours
24 Hours
Standby Load Current (Amps) 0.3750 Amps X 24 = 9.000 AH
Required Alarm Time in Hours
15 Minutes
Alarm Load Current (Amps) 0.7000 Amps X 0.25 = 0.175 AH
Total Current Load 9.18 AH
*Multiply by the Derating Factor 1.2 = x 1.20

Total Ampere Hours Required 11.01 AH

Recommended Batteries: BAT-12120 - 12AH Batteries

* Derating Factor required to compensate for the non-linear discharge characteristic of a battery.
