Emergi-Lite Nickel–Metal Hydride (NiMH) Battery Finder

 

Since the introduction of our first product in 1978, Emergi-Lite has pioneered and has led engineering specifications in the manufacture of reliable, quality emergency lighting equipment.

Over the years, we have gained worldwide recognition as an innovative industry leader producing the best emergency lighting life safety equipment – a leadership position attained through our continuing strict adherence to the most rigorous control standards known to the industry. Our North American manufacturing facility is unique to the industry since every product is manufactured under one roof and distributed to either our loyal stocking distributors or directly to a new or renovated facility.

The latest technology goes into our "Advanced Diagnostic” (AD) board design and the energy efficient ALINGAP LED lamps utilized in our exit signs. Every Emergi-Lite product – from our small capacity plastic units to our decorative architectural units and large cabinet extra wattage capacity units – is line tested to meet the rigorous standards of emergency lighting performance before shipment to the field. As part of the Thomas & Betts family, our ongoing commitment is to provide products of the highest quality at competitive prices – products like our newly-released NEMA-4X family of products and our decorative indoor and outdoor remote fixtures. Our continued growth, success and high levels of customer satisfaction are proof that we are accomplishing our goals.

In this catalog, we are proud to present the complete range of Emergi-Lite emergency lighting equipment, products we believe are amongst the finest available anywhere in the world.

There are many variations of rechargeable batteries available depending on the specific needs of your application. See the descriptions below to find the right battery to meet your needs.

 

NiMH batteries can have two to three times the capacity of an equivalent size NiCd, and their energy density approaches that of a lithium-ion cell. Nickel–Metal Hydride batteries are good for high current drain applications because of their low internal resistance.

 

The disadvantage of NiMH batteries is their high rate of self-discharge. NiMH batteries typically lose 4% of their charge per day of storage. LSD NiMH batteries significantly lower self-discharge, but at the cost of lowering capacity by about 20%.
