Battery Capacity Calculation 

The required battery capacity can be calculated using the active battery calculation 

spread sheet. By selecting the RFP model, no. of smoke/heat alarms and adding 

any ancillaries, the spread sheet will automatically calculate the battery capacity 

required to maintain the system for 72 hours in standby condition followed by  4 

minutes in alarm as required by AS3786. 
Table 6 Battery capacity calculation 

 

 

 

 

Manual calculation of battery capacity can also be calculated as follow:
