Emergency power supply 
23.1  Specifying battery capacity 
23.1.1  Battery rated capacity 
 
– 
The battery rated capacity is based on the discharge over a period of 20 hours 
– 
Faster discharge causes a loss of capacity: 
 
Discharge over 12-hour period: 
9% loss (K = 1.1) 
23.1.2  Ageing of battery 
 
– 
With increasing age, the battery suffers a loss of capacity 
 
Allow a safety factor for ageing 
(Total quiescent current y 1.25 or battery capacity y 0.8) 
> 24h in conformity with DIN VDE 0833, part 2, no safety factor is necessary 
23.1.3 Calculation 
 
Battery capacity must be calculated individually! 
Formula: Ah = A x h x 1.25 (poss. x K
 
Ah  
= Battery capacity in Ah 
A   
= the sum of the quiescent current for all modules 
h   
= Required operating period in hours 
1.25 
= Safety factor for ageing 
K   
= Capacity loss if discharge is over considerably less than 20 hours

– 
Discharge over a 12-hour period, 9% loss of capacity taken into account 
– 
Factor 1.25 for ageing taken into account at 12h and 24h (72h without safety 
factor) 
– 
Without remote transmission equipment 
– 
Only quiescent current taken into account
