For more than 40 years, Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries have been the go-to solution for security, fire, access and surveillance system back-up, but now there’s a new and extremely efficient option available ­that changes everything. Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries, also known as LiFePO4 batteries, usher in a new generation of DC power that will eventually render SLA batteries obsolete. And for good cause, as they deliver significant performance and long-term cost-saving benefits for both end-users and installing dealers.

Myriad electronic devices, from smoke detectors and cell phones to laptop computers and electric cars, are already leveraging the superior longevity, efficiencies and improved safety advantages that LiFePO4 batteries deliver compared to SLA batteries.
