Designed specifically for fire and security applications – and trusted and stocked by respected distributors including YESSS Electrical, H-Squared and RS Components – Strident’s fire-retardant battery range features fire-retardant casings and flame-arrestor vents which help prevent fire propagation and support compliance with stringent safety requirements.

The range complies with the UL94 V0 standard, meaning the casing material is designed to self-extinguish when exposed to flame.

Caleb adds: “Using high-quality batteries is about more than keeping systems operational. Reliable battery performance helps minimise the risk of failures, enhances safety, supports ongoing compliance and ensures critical systems remain operational even during power interruptions.”

Alongside providing dependable batteries, Strident is also helping fire and security professionals simplify maintenance programmes.
