Batteries

Professional Batteries for Hospitality & Commercial Environments

Reliable power for locks, safes, remotes, sensors and every guest-facing touchpoint.

In hotels, restaurants, commercial offices, and public buildings, battery-powered devices play a crucial role in ensuring safety, security, and everyday operations. From digital door locks and in-room safes to remote controls and window sensors, dependable battery performance isn’t optional — it's a core part of your guest experience and operational continuity.

At Lightsave, we stock a comprehensive range of high-performance batteries from trusted brands, including Duracell, Philips, Varta, Uniross, and Energiser. These manufacturers are known for long-lasting, consistent output, ensuring devices run reliably for their full expected service life. As part of our sustainability commitment, we also offer free battery recycling for all hospitality and commercial customers.

Below is a detailed look at the battery types we supply — and where they are most commonly used across the hospitality sector.

High-Use Hospitality Appliances & Their Battery Requirements

Digital Door Locks & Smart Entry Systems

Electronic hotel door locks, combi locks and access systems rely on stable, high-continuous batteries.

Common types: AA MN1500, AAA MN2400, CR123A, CR-P2 (DL223A 6V), 2CR5 6V.

Why it matters:

• Guest access systems must never fail; a flat battery means downtime, engineer intervention, and room access delays.
• Premium alkaline or lithium batteries ensure higher capacity and predictable replacement cycles.

In-Room Safes

Hotel safes typically use long-life alkaline batteries.

Common types: AA MN1500, 9V MN1604.

Why it matters:

• Safes require a stable voltage output to operate reliably over long durations.
• Using reputable brands reduces the risk of lockouts or guest property access issues.

Remote Controls (TV, AC, Lighting Controls)

Still one of the highest-consumption items in any hotel.

Common types: AAA MN2400, AA MN1500, CR2025, CR2032, CR2016, LR44/A76.

Why it matters:

• Daily use across multiple rooms accelerates battery drain.
• Long-life batteries reduce replacement frequency and maintenance time.

Window Sensors & Smart Building Systems

Many hospitality operations now use wireless sensors for:

• Window/door contact monitoring
• HVAC efficiency
• Energy management integrations

Common types: CR123A, CR2 3V, CR2025, CR2032.

Why it matters:

• Sensors need stable lithium cells for multi-year performance.
• Poor-quality batteries risk system faults, loss of data, and occupant discomfort.

Emergency & Back-of-House Equipment

From maintenance testers to handheld tools, restaurants and hotels use a wide variety of battery-powered equipment.

Common types: C MN1400, D MN1300, 9V MN1604, PJ996.

Applications include:

• Torches
• Cleaning equipment
• Staff pagers
• Test instruments
• Door alarms
• Walkie-talkies

Specialist Security & Control Devices

Many hospitality devices rely on compact high-output cells:

Common types: NM21 LR23 12V, CR2 3V, 2CR5 6V, CR-P2 DL223A 6V.

Used for:

• Wireless keypads
• Alarm systems
• Internal safe mechanism boards
• Specialist door controllers
• High-performance torches
