FS2000 Series Fire Alarm Control Panel
Battery Size Calculation Sheet
Use this form to calculate the required battery size for your system. You must first determine the duration the panel
will need to function on batteries in hours. The installation wiring diagram for your system includes a factory calculat-
ed battery size in the specification section. This calculation is based on a 24-hour backup period for non-releasing
systems and a 90 hour backup period for systems with a solenoid releasing module. An alarm duration or period of
time the system must operate in full alarm mode after the backup period has expired is assumed to be 15 minutes or
0.25 hours. This may be altered as necessary.

FORMULAS AND VARIABLES
System Standby Current in amperes = (I1) Standby Time in Hours = (H1) Battery Size De-rate Divisor = (0.85)
System Alarm Current in amperes = (I2) Alarm Time in Hours = (H2)
System Battery Size required in ampere hours – [(I1 X H1) + (I2 X H2)] / 0.85 = Battery Size (AH) Note: Use next largest size
