Maximum Battery Standby Load

The table below shows the maximum battery standby load for the SK-5208 based on 24 and 60 hours of standby. The standby load calculations of line E in the Current Draw Calculation Worksheet must be less than the number shown in the table for battery size used and standby hours required.

Batteries larger then 17AH will not fit into the SK-5208 cabinet and must be housed in the AB-33 Accessory Battery Cabinet.

WARNING!
Silent Knight does not support the use of batteries smaller than those listed in the above table.

Use the current draw worksheet to calculate the correct battery amperes/hour rating needed for your installation.
