Battery Replacement 

Open up the Agriculture Sensor using a #10 Torx screwdriver. The Agriculture Sensor has 8x 
enclosure Torx screws at the bottom. 

Be careful not to misplace the silicone cover gasket from 

the top lid. 

Replace the battery.  The Agriculture Sensor accepts 

C-size, 3.6 V, LTC batteries.  The allowed 

replacement batteries are as follows: 

o

 

Xeno Energy, part number: XL-145F 

o

 

Tadiran Battery, part number TL-4920/S 

o

 

Tadiran Battery, part number TL-5920/S 

 

Once the Agriculture Sensor is powered and tries to join (see Section 5.3 for LED behavior), 
replace the cover and gasket. Make sure that the gasket is properly seated in the cover before 
placing on the Agriculture Sensor housing. Tighten the 8 cover screws to 2.5 lbf-in (30 N-cm).
