About the Battery

The Smart Cart’s battery is partially charged at the 

factory. If the battery status LED blinks red, use the 

micro USB cable to connect the sensor to a USB port or 

a USB charger.

Battery Usage

Battery life is very important to making the product 

simple and always ready to use, so all of the PASCO 

wireless products are designed for long battery life. For 

example, the Smart Cart turns itself off after a few 

minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life. 

The battery life between charges for the Smart Cart 

varies depending on the sampling rate. The battery life 

ranges between eleven hours for high sample rates to 

more than 70 hours for low sample rates. 

In typical classroom/lab use, this would translate to a 

battery life between charges ranging from one to four 

weeks or more, because full-day continuous sampling 

would be unusual. Even in the most extreme case with a 

high sample rate, the Smart Cart battery would support a 

full day of use before needing to recharge.
