Batteries
Half of all warranty issues can be resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate
voltage.
We suggest name brand alkaline batteries for rain stations.
Use batteries dated at least six years in advance of the current year. Batteries
dated earlier than six years from now may still work, but may be unstable in
performance.
Alkaline batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years
in the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain
voltage longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for
the 10 years can deplete the power.
Good name brand batteries make less noise, which reduces the chance of RF
(radio frequency) interference from the battery compartment.
A minimum voltage of 1.48V for each battery is necessary for proper
performance.
