Battery Types
Supported battery types for the controller are:
Saft LS 14500 3.6 V Lithium Batterie:
The Saft LS14500 lithium batteries provide very high energy
density. Provide about 100 hours of operation. Can die quickly, so care should taken to ensure sufficient
charge prior to diving. On the basis of the very long run time it is the recommend battery for the JJ-CCR
controller.
1.5 V Alkaline:
The common AA battery type that can be purchased at most supermarkets and electronics
stores around the world. Not rechargeable. Inexpensive and reliable, they provide 35 hours of operation.
•
Alkaline batteries are especially prone to leaking corrosive battery acid when completely discharged.
Remove discharged batteries immediately, and do not store your controller for more than 2 months with
an alkaline battery installed.
1.5 V Photo Lithium
: Fairly common, but more expensive than alkalines. They provide about 55 hours of
operation. Not rechargeable. Good for use in very cold water.
1.2 V NiMh:
Common rechargeable batteries used in digital cameras and foto flashes. Can have high self
discharge. Provide about 30 hours of operation per charge. Can die quickly, so care should be taken to
ensure sufficient charge prior to diving.
3.7 V Li-Ion:
Rechargeable14500 Li- Ion batteries provide about 35 hours of operation per charge. Can be
ordered from the internet. Have more gradual voltage drop as discharged, so easier to determine remain-
ing capacity than NiMH rechargeables. Good in cold water.
•
Note: Battery operating lifetimes are given with screen on medium brightness and at room temperature.
Higher brightness and lower temperature can reduce life. Lower brightness can increase life.
