DUAL-LITE

Dual-Lite provides replacement batteries in nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistries. NiMH batteries are available in 1.2 V and 2.4 V ratings, with capacities such as 850 mAh, 1300 mAh, and 1500 mAh. LiFePO4 battery packs are offered at 6.4 V and 12.8 V, with capacities ranging from 1.5 Ah to 3 Ah. These batteries are designed for specific Dual-Lite models, including EVCH12, EV4DI, DYN6I, DYN12-06L, EVCUGW, EV2, and EVEURWE. The choice of chemistry depends on the fixture requirements, with LiFePO4 often used for its longer cycle life and thermal stability.

Identify the model number of your Dual-Lite emergency lighting or exit sign fixture, then cross-reference it with the compatible manufacturer model number listed for each battery. For example, the LiFePO4 battery with manufacturer part number BATT-PACK 12.8V 2000mAh 25.6Wh 8 CELL is compatible with the EVCH12 model. Similarly, the NiMH battery with part number ASSY-BATT NIMH 1300MAH 2.4V AA is compatible with the EV2 model. Always verify voltage, capacity, chemistry, and physical dimensions (such as overall height) to ensure proper fit and performance. Consult the fixture's installation manual or contact 3G Electric for assistance if needed.

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries offer several advantages over older chemistries in emergency lighting applications. They have a higher energy density, which can reduce weight and size for a given capacity. They also exhibit better thermal stability and a longer cycle life, which can translate to extended service intervals. Additionally, LiFePO4 batteries maintain a relatively flat discharge voltage, providing consistent illumination during an outage. Dual-Lite offers LiFePO4 packs in 6.4 V and 12.8 V configurations, with capacities from 1.5 Ah to 3 Ah, suitable for various emergency lighting and exit sign models.

Dual-Lite emergency lighting and exit signs are designed to meet applicable industry standards, including UL 924, which covers emergency lighting and power equipment. Many fixtures also carry IP ratings for protection against dust and moisture, making them suitable for various environments. Some models are specifically rated for high-temperature environments, such as the NiMH batteries with high-temp designations. Compliance with local building and fire codes is the responsibility of the installer, but Dual-Lite products are typically specified to meet these requirements. Always verify that the selected product meets the specific code requirements of your jurisdiction.

3G Electric supplies Dual-Lite emergency lighting and exit sign components, including replacement batteries, remote heads, and inverters. The catalog includes detailed specifications such as voltage, capacity, chemistry, and compatible model numbers to facilitate correct part selection. 3G Electric ships globally and provides logistics support for both urgent replacements and scheduled maintenance. For procurement specialists, the availability of exact-match replacement batteries helps reduce downtime and maintain code compliance. 3G Electric does not manufacture Dual-Lite products but serves as a distributor of these components.

Yes, Dual-Lite offers nickel-metal hydride batteries specifically designed for high-temperature environments. These include models rated at 1.2 V and 850 mAh, as well as 2.4 V batteries with capacities of 1300 mAh and 1500 mAh. The high-temperature designation indicates that these batteries are suitable for continuous float service in elevated temperature conditions, which can occur in certain industrial or commercial settings. When selecting a replacement battery, ensure that the temperature rating matches the application requirements. Lithium iron phosphate batteries also offer good thermal stability, but the high-temp NiMH models are explicitly labeled for such use.
