Batteries are used in telecommunications applications to provide back-up power to the phone switches and other transmission equipment. This is why telephones usually continue to work during electrical storms, brownouts, and power outages. Telecommunications batteries are normally sized to provide power for the entire duration of the outage, typically three to eight hours. Within the broad category of "Telecommunications," there are several distinct sub-applications. Click on one of the applications below to get information on how batteries are used in these applications and which GNB Battery is right for each application, or choose one of the GNB product categories below to go directly to our product information pages.
