    Transfer power to a built-in battery during brownouts and blackouts with only a momentary loss of power during transfer. With a USB connection and cord, you can save data and safely shut down an unattended computer during an outage with these supplies. They also protect against line noise and power surges. Choose a power output equal to or greater than the power your equipment requires. Determine your volt-amps requirement by multiplying the amp draw of your equipment by 120V AC. Power supplies cannot be sold to the regions listed due to local energy efficiency requirements.

    Protect sensitive equipment—these conditioners raise or lower current to keep it at a stable level during dips and surges. There is no battery transfer time during a power dip. During brownouts and blackouts, they transfer power to a built-in battery with only a momentary loss of power during transfer. Power supplies also protect against line noise and power surges. They have a USB connection and cord so you can save data and safely shut down an unattended computer during outage.

    Power mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets when electricity is unavailable. Charge these batteries by plugging the included USB cord into a computer or charger. The cords and cables are backward compatible, so they work with connectors that meet the same or a lower USB standard. For maximum battery life, recharge these lithium ion (Li-Ion) batteries before they’re drained completely.

    Power up mobile devices and other electronics.
    Unlike many chargers in the market, these are high quality and reliable. All have passed strict U.S., Canadian, or European Union safety standards. Some of these chargers even have an LPS output, so if something fails inside the charger, it limits the risk of electrical shock. Most of our wall chargers also meet standards for energy efficiency when they're in-use, as well as when they're plugged in but not charging. Chargers that use switching regulation produce the stated voltage despite fluctuations in your outlet’s power and the power being drawn by your device. It also means they won’t get too hot.

    Chargers with a lithium-ion battery can power up to two mobile devices on the go.
    USB-A—USB-A chargers have the traditional USB connection. 5W chargers are typically used with small electronic devices such as speakers, routers, and cameras. 10.5W chargers are typically used with phones and tablets sold before 2016. 18W chargers will power phones and tablets sold after 2016. To charge large laptops and other high-power devices, use chargers with an output greater than 27W.
    USB-C—USB-C chargers are quickly becoming the new standard, often seen on new phones and tablets. Some are USB-C Power Delivery 3.0 certified, so they charge your devices on average 3-4 times faster than standard chargers because they send more power over your cable. 18W chargers will power phones and tablets sold after 2016. 27W chargers will power small laptops. Choose chargers with an output greater than 27W to charge large laptops and other high-power devices.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Chargers cannot be sold to the listed areas due to energy efficiency regulations.

    Backup Power Supplies for Facility Lights

    Backup Power Supplies
    Image of Product. Back orientation. Backup Power Supplies. Backup Power Supplies for Facility Lights, Backup Power Supplies.
    Turn your facility lights into emergency lights—no need for generators or separate backup lights. Also known as battery inverters, these power supplies detect outages and shift your lights to battery power. To comply with UL 924 and help you meet NFPA standards, they activate your lights at full brightness for at least 90 minutes, even if they’re off or dimmed. A low-voltage disconnect extends the life of the battery by switching it off before it’s fully drained.
    An LED indicator tells you whether your lights are using primary or backup power. The indicator also tells you when these power supplies require maintenance. They have a manual test switch, so you can test them without disrupting the power.
    If you have more than one circuit, you’ll need to add a relay to bypass dimmers and on/off controls across circuits. You can also wire these relays to your fire alarm. Pull the alarm to activate lights to full brightness during emergencies, even without an outage. Also known as automatic load control relays.
    Maximum Recommended Power—Maximum recommended power is the total wattage of connected devices that these power supplies can support.
    Cannot Be Sold To—Power supplies that cannot be sold to the listed areas are restricted due to local energy efficiency requirements.

    Relays have an LED indicator that tells you if your lights are using primary or backup power and when these relays require maintenance. They also have a test switch to make sure the system is working.
    Unthreaded Through-Hole Mount—Relays that mount into an unthreaded through hole install into knockouts in junction boxes and light fixtures.
    Fastener Mount—Fastener-mount relays are ideal when space is tight or you want to hide your relay. They fit inside a ballast channel to keep everything contained within your fixture housing.
