Battery Pack
The battery pack is contained in its own compartment. The battery pack is a three-cell, sealed,
lead acid battery pack (6V, 4.5 amp-hours) that is field replaceable and designed to last five
years under normal circumstances. To ensure minimal impact upon battery life, a preventative
maintenance schedule of two-year replacement is required in an extreme environment, such as
a desert installation. Normal preventative maintenance is every five years for non-desert
environment installations.
Warning! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Always replace with Itron part number BAT-0045-005.
The batteries can power the system for a duration of 90 minutes in the case of a power outage.
If Then
AC power
fails
The collector or repeater battery pack maintains system functions for approximately 90
minutes. A message indicating the AC failure is sent to the Network Collection Engine.
AC power is
restored
A message is sent to the Network Collection Engine indicating AC power has been restored.
The battery pack specifications are listed in the following table.
Specification Value
Type Sealed-lead acid, rechargeable
Power 6V, 4.5 amp-hours
Life Five years at 33° C. Battery life decreases by 50% for each 8° C rise in temperature
above 25°C.
Charge time 10 hours at 25° C
The battery in the collector or repeater uses three EnerSys Cyclon lead-acid cells, connected in
series, to provide a nominal voltage of 6 volts. The battery is terminated with a four position
Molex connector (Molex P/N #39-01-4041) with the following pinout:
