Understanding Pierlite Battery Codes
Pierlite uses two code formats across their emergency lighting range.
BATPK Code Format (Standard/Legacy)
The BATPK format is Pierlite's traditional coding system:
BATPK1500/2L12
-
BATPK = Battery Pack prefix
-
1500 = 1500mAh capacity
-
2 = 2 cells
-
L = LiFePO4 chemistry
-
12 = Configuration (stick/inline arrangement)
DGLCEM Code Format (Newer Products)
The DGLCEM format appears on newer Pierlite/Signify emergency lighting products, following a similar structure.

Note: Always verify the battery code printed on the existing battery pack or luminaire label before ordering.
How to Identify Your Pierlite Battery
Step 1: Locate the Battery Label
The battery code is printed on the pack's label, typically starting with BATPK or DGLCEM. Look for:
- A white label on the battery shrink wrap
- Printed text on the fixture's emergency module
- Documentation from the original installation
Step 2: Check the Luminaire Label
If the battery label is illegible, check the main luminaire/fixture label. It often includes the compatible battery code.
Step 3: Measure Physical Specifications
If codes are unavailable, measure:
-
Pack voltage (with a multimeter)
-
Physical dimensions (length × width × height)
-
Connector type (C60, C7, lead wires, etc.)
-
Cell configuration (stick, side-by-side, triangle, etc.)
Step 4: Contact JB Battery
Still unsure? Send us photos of your battery pack and fixture label. Our team will identify the correct replacement.
Why LiFePO4 Dominates Modern Emergency Lighting
Safety & Thermal Stability
LiFePO4 is inherently stable and resistant to thermal runaway — critical for unattended emergency equipment.
Exceptional Cycle Life
LiFePO4 batteries deliver 2,000+ charge cycles compared to 300-500 cycles for Ni-MH or Ni-Cd. This translates to 10+ years of service life.
Flat Discharge Curve
Maintains consistent voltage throughout discharge, ensuring full brightness until depleted.
Low Self-Discharge
Monthly self-discharge rates under 3% — your emergency lights are ready when needed.
Environmentally Friendly
Contains no cadmium or rare earth metals. Safest and most responsible choice.
Lightweight & Compact
Roughly half the weight of equivalent Ni-MH packs.
