The control panel has a 24 VDC rechargeable battery circuit that is
capable of charging up to two 26 Ah sealed lead acid batteries.
The table below lists the batteries that can be installed in the control
panel cabinets. Up to two 10 Ah batteries will fit in the 64 point
control panel cabinet and two 18 Ah batteries will fit in the 250/500

use a GE Security battery cabinet. To determine which battery your
system requires, use the "Battery calculation worksheet" in the
worksheets appendix.
