There are there types of batteries used on Surveillance Trailers
All manufacturers calculate the power draw of the equipment and balance the battery capability with the desired days of operation.
- Lead Acid
- AGM
- Lithium
The expected battery life on surveillance trailers usually ranges from 2 to 7 days of operation with no sunlight at all.
-
Standard battery banks: 4 days of autonomy
-
Large or lithium battery banks: 7+ days
-
The actual runtime depends on:
-
-
Number and type of cameras (PTZ uses more power)
-
Use of lights or sensors
-
Temperature (cold reduces battery efficiency)
-
Battery type (lithium lasts longest)
-
All manufacturers calculate the power draw of the equipment and balance the battery capability with the desired days of operation.
