The pack consists of four individual NiCd cells connected in series and wrapped in white heat-shrink tubing, with red and black wire leads terminating in a pre-fitted connector for direct installation into compatible emergency lighting units and exit signs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a replacement battery for emergency lighting systems, exit signs, and backup lighting installations that require 4.8V NiCd chemistry, the pack provides standby power during mains failure. The 1800mAh capacity supports typical 3-hour emergency lighting run times when paired with LED or low-wattage lamp loads. The series configuration means the cells charge and discharge together as a single unit, simplifying installation and reducing the risk of cell imbalance over repeated charge cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pack measures 200mm in length, making it compatible with standard emergency lighting battery compartments in UK and European exit signs. NiCd chemistry tolerates deep discharge cycles better than NiMH alternatives and can be stored for extended periods without significant capacity loss, making it suitable for infrequently-used standby systems. The pre-fitted connector matches common emergency lighting battery sockets, though compatibility should be verified before purchase as connector types vary between manufacturers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 191g weight keeps the pack light enough for wall-mounted emergency units without requiring additional structural support. NiCd batteries contain cadmium and must be disposed of through dedicated recycling streams — do not discard with general household waste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Net Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.191\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.191\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Gross Weight (KG)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15.28\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProduct Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Length (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e220\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Width (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e385\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOuter Height (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e250\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat type of emergency lighting units does this battery fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4.8V 1800mAh configuration suits emergency lighting units and exit signs that specify NiCd chemistry at this voltage and capacity.
