Battery experts, Strident Innovations, have announced the launch of their new range of fire-retardant sealed lead-acid batteries, designed to prevent fire propagation and meet stringent safety codes in sensitive installations.
For many industries, fire-retardant batteries are key for safe, continual performance – especially in the fire safety and security sector where batteries are often used as back-up power or an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to maintain continuous operation even if mains power fails.
Strident’s new range combines reliability with advanced safety engineering – including flame-resistant ABS casing, flame arrestor vents and maintenance-free operation – to offer professionals across the fire safety and security sectors an even greater level of confidence in high-risk environments.
“For systems that power critical infrastructure, fire retardant batteries are essential for safety and performance. Our new range is specially engineered with fire-retardant properties that prevent fire propagation and meet stringent safety regulations, giving installers and maintenance professionals total peace of mind” says Caleb Deayton, Managing Director of Strident Innovations.
Each battery in Strident’s new range features a sealed lead-acid design with an electrolyte management system that prevents leakage and helps control gas build-up during normal operating conditions. They also feature flame-resistant ABS plastic casing which is compliant with the UL94 V0 standard, so they self-extinguish rapidly when exposed to flames.
A further safety enhancement comes from Strident’s low-pressure flame-arrestor vents and Clear Vein technology which are designed to allow safe, controlled gas release without damage to the battery or surrounding equipment in the event of severe overcharge.
“In applications where safety systems can’t afford compromise – such as fire alarms, emergency lighting, data centre back-ups and lifts or escalators – these batteries provide robust, tested protection. They don’t just meet compliance standards; they exceed expectations for reliability under pressure” adds Caleb.
Just like the rest of Strident’s extensive battery range, the new range is manufactured with 99.997% lead purity and carefully mixed conductive materials for optimum performance, exceptional energy retention and long service life.
“Every element of this range – from plate composition to casing design – has been developed with safety and quality in mind. It’s another step in our ongoing commitment to developing batteries that perform reliably and protect the systems they power, for the fire safety and security industry and beyond” Caleb concludes.
Since 2002, Strident Innovations has been committed to advancing battery technology, supplying high-quality power solutions for the fire and security, mobility and lift and escalator industries across the UK.
The new fire-retardant range is now available.
