The DT2350 data logger uses a 3.6 V lithium-thionyl chloride battery. The type of
battery used will depend upon whether or not the logger is radio-enabled. Table 6-1
summarizes the types of batteries and their uses in the DT 2350. Standard batteries
(defined as SAFT LSH 20 D-cell, or equivalent) are used for radio-enabled loggers.
Stand-alone data loggers use a compact battery. This is defined as either one SAFT
LSH 14 light C-cell battery or two SAFT LS 14500 AA batteries, or equivalent.
Compact battery options are designed to support the same level of performance in
the DT 2350 and are considered equivalent.
