The battery calculation for the Honeywell Fire-Lite Alarms ES-200X addressable panel follows these steps:

1. Determine Total Fire Alarm Load (Battery Powered)
- Identify the standby and alarm current requirements.

2. Calculate Required Alarm Time
- Use the values from Table 9.3:
- 5 minutes: Multiply by 0.084
- 10 minutes: Multiply by 0.168

3. Sum Standby and Alarm Ampere-Hours
- Add the standby and alarm ampere-hour values.

4. Apply Derating Factor
- Multiply the total ampere-hour value by 1.2.

5. Select Battery Size
- Choose a sealed lead-acid battery that meets or exceeds the calculated ampere-hours.
- The control panel supports internal batteries from 7 AH to 18 AH.
- Batteries larger than 18 AH require an external UL-listed battery charger and cabinet, such as BB-26 or BB-55F.

This ensures compliance with NFPA 72, which requires 24 hours of standby power followed by 5 minutes in alarm.

The battery calculation for the Honeywell Fire-Lite Alarms ES-200X follows these steps:

1. Determine the Total Fire Alarm Load: Identify the total ampere load of the system.
2. Calculate the Required Alarm Time:
- For 5 minutes, use a factor of 0.084.
- For 10 minutes, use a factor of 0.168.
- Multiply this factor by the alarm load to get ampere-hours (AH).
3. Sum Standby and Alarm Ampere-Hours: Add the standby power (24-hour requirement) and calculated alarm power.
4. Apply the Derating Factor: Multiply the total by 1.2.
5. Determine the Battery Size:
- The control panel can charge batteries from 7 AH to 18 AH.
- The panel cabinet can house up to 18 AH.
- Batteries larger than 18 AH require an external UL-listed battery charger and cabinet, such as BB-26 or BB-55F.

This calculation ensures compliance with NFPA 72 standards, which require 24-hour standby power followed by 5 minutes of alarm operation.
