Elevator Battery Backup System: Ensuring Safety & Compliance in Modern Buildings
When the power goes out, elevator safety becomes critical. Building codes worldwide now require reliable emergency power for elevators, especially in high-rise buildings, hospitals, and public facilities. At BST POWER, we design and manufacture custom elevator battery backup systems that provide uninterrupted power, ensuring passenger safety and regulatory compliance.
Why Your Elevator Needs a Dedicated Backup Battery System
Power outages can trap passengers and disrupt building operations. A well-designed elevator emergency power supply system helps:
- Meet Safety Regulations: Comply with international building codes requiring emergency elevator power
- Ensure Passenger Safety: Allow elevators to complete current trips or return to designated floors during outages
- Reduce Liability Risks: Prevent dangerous situations and potential legal issues
- Maintain Building Operations: Keep essential services running during power interruptions
Case Study: 61.4kWh Custom ESS for Elevator Application
We recently completed a project delivering a fully customized elevator power backup system with these specifications:
✅ System Configuration:
- Total Capacity: 61.4kWh / 36kW ESS
- Battery Cabinet: 20.24kWh per unit (modular design)
- Inverter Power: 36kW
- Setup: 3 battery cabinets + 1 inverter cabinets
This lift backup battery solution was designed to provide extended runtime during grid failures, ensuring multiple elevators could operate safely until power was restored.
