Collection: Exit Signs with Battery Backup

Exit signs with battery backup are self-contained emergency markers equipped with an internal, rechargeable battery to ensure they remain lit during a power failure. This feature is the cornerstone of modern life safety codes and is required in nearly all commercial buildings that do not have a central emergency generator. In the event of a power loss, the sign automatically switches to its battery power, illuminating the path to safety for building occupants.
