Battery Replacement for PELI RALS 9455 9435 ATEX

The Peli RALS 9455 and RALS 9435 are high-output remote area lighting systems built and certified for use in ATEX explosive atmospheres — rescue operations, oil and gas facilities, mining sites, and other hazardous industrial environments where a single spark is not an option. Like any rechargeable system, the internal battery pack eventually loses capacity. When it does, the replacement itself becomes a safety-critical decision: swap in the wrong component and you can compromise the Ex classification that makes the unit legal and safe to operate in Zone 1 and Zone 2 environments.

An Original-Battery Replacement, Not a Generic Swap

This listing is a service, not a spare part you fit yourself. We hold full authorization from Peli to service and repair ATEX-rated RALS devices, and every replacement uses the original Peli NiMH battery pack rather than a generic or third-party cell. That distinction matters: the battery chemistry, cell configuration, and internal protection circuitry were all part of the original ATEX assessment. Substituting anything else, even something that looks equivalent on paper, is outside the scope of what keeps the unit's certification valid.

Signs Your RALS Battery Needs Attention

NiMH battery packs degrade gradually rather than failing all at once. Typical indicators include shorter runtime between charges, a unit that no longer reaches full brightness, or a charge that seems to hold for a few hours before dropping off. None of these are dramatic failures — which is exactly why they are easy to overlook until the unit lets a team down in the field. Restoring original battery performance before that happens is the point of this service.

How the Service Works

1. Purchase this service and select the two-way shipping option at checkout.
2. We send you a shipping label for the outbound delivery.
3. Pack your RALS unit securely — including the power supply — and ship it to our service center.
4. On receipt, we replace the battery with a factory-original unit and fully test the system.
5. The unit is returned to you tested and ready for deployment.

Turnaround time and shipment details are confirmed by email after your order is placed. Including the power supply in your shipment is important — it lets our technicians verify charging performance on the exact hardware pairing you use in the field, not just the battery in isolation.

Why Authorized Service Matters for ATEX Equipment

ATEX certification is both equipment-specific and component-specific. Replacing an ATEX battery with a non-original or non-authorized substitute invalidates the unit's Ex classification, creating a compliance liability and a genuine safety exposure in hazardous environments — precisely the environments this equipment exists to serve. Routing the replacement through our Peli-authorized service center ensures it maintains all original safety approvals, so the unit can return to active service in explosive-atmosphere locations without additional re-certification or paperwork on your end.

Who Relies on This Service

• Fire and rescue teams operating RALS units at structural fires, chemical incidents, and confined-space rescues where reliable area lighting cannot be an afterthought.
• Oil, gas, and petrochemical maintenance crews working in classified Zone 1 and Zone 2 areas of refineries, terminals, and offshore installations.
• Mining safety departments maintaining lighting equipment for use in atmospheres with potential methane or coal dust accumulation.
• Industrial EHS and equipment managers responsible for keeping a fleet of ATEX-rated lighting compliant and field-ready on a scheduled maintenance cycle.
