Learn how to use a backup battery on your Verkada BP41 alarm panel

Updated over 4 months ago

In situations where you use your Verkada BP41 alarm panel in critical safety applications, we recommend to have backup power in case of a power outage.

Verkada offers the ACC-BAT-4AH for use with the BP41 alarm panel. The Verkada BP41 can be powered by a 12V 4.5Ah sealed lead-acid (SLA) battery as a backup power source.

Install a backup battery on your BP41

Connect the red lead with the positive (+) connector on the battery and the black one to the negative (-). The battery pack can then sit inside the Verkada BP41 case.

Wire 2 backup batteries to the BP41

To get double the amp hours (capacity), while maintaining the same voltage, you can connect 2 batteries in parallel (NOT in series) to provide twice as much battery capacity, as shown below.
