How do I correctly connect the battery in my SAL SELK1500EX3 emergency exit light?

[Hank]

To properly connect the battery to your SAL SELK1500EX3 emergency exit light and ensure its functionality during power outages, follow these steps. First, always disconnect the power supply to the unit before beginning any installation or maintenance tasks. The battery for the SELK1500EX3, like many emergency lighting products, is shipped disconnected for safety reasons. Locate the battery compartment on the SELK1500EX3 unit. This model uses a LiFePO4 battery, with specifications of 1500mAh capacity and 6.4V voltage, as detailed in the product manual. Carefully connect the battery to the designated terminals within the compartment, adhering strictly to the manufacturer's instructions to ensure a secure connection. After the battery is connected, your SAL SELK1500EX3 emergency exit light is designed to activate its emergency mode when needed. Keep in mind that continuous use of the emergency mode for over 240 hours without recharging could potentially damage the battery and invalidate the warranty. If you have any difficulties or require further assistance, consult the official SAL SELK1500EX3 installation guide or contact SAL customer support for comprehensive guidance.
