Honeywell Home Intrusion K0257 Nimh Battery Pack

Product Description

The Honeywell Home Intrusion K0257 is a 6-volt, 700mAh nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) rechargeable battery pack designed to provide backup power for security and intrusion detection systems. It supplies reliable standby current to keep control panels and associated devices operational during AC power loss. Licensed security system technicians and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this component. The 700mAh capacity supports sustained backup runtime in residential and light commercial alarm panel applications.

This battery pack is used in security alarm control panels that require a sealed rechargeable backup power source. It is suited for residential intrusion detection systems and light commercial installations where a compact 6-volt NiMH pack is specified by the panel manufacturer. The pack ships as a single unit and is intended as a direct replacement during routine panel maintenance or after battery end-of-life.

Key Features

• 6-volt nominal output supports standard backup power requirements in alarm control panels
• 700mAh capacity provides sustained standby runtime during AC outages
• NiMH chemistry eliminates memory effect concerns common with older NiCd packs
• Single-unit pack allows straightforward swap during scheduled maintenance
• Compact form factor suited for space-constrained panel enclosures

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement backup battery for security alarm control panels requiring a 6-volt, 700mAh NiMH rechargeable pack.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with local codes and NFPA 72 requirements. Power down or place the control panel in test mode before disconnecting the existing battery to avoid triggering alarms or damaging panel circuitry. Observe correct polarity when connecting the replacement pack, and confirm the panel charger is compatible with NiMH chemistry before completing the swap. Dispose of the old battery pack according to applicable local regulations for rechargeable batteries.
