Battery Pack
The 12V 2900mAh Smart Battery Pack (Teledyne Detcon’s part number 976-0BP303-290) consists of
rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries and is equipped with integrated safety electronics that include a fuel gauge,
voltage monitor, and current and temperature monitoring circuits. This “smart” circuitry continuously monitors
the battery’s condition and reports critical status information to the wireless transceiver via the Modbus™
registers. The battery packs are designed to plug into an 8-pin Beau connector on the Terminal Board that the
sensor is connected to. The battery Pack and Terminal Board are housed and sealed in Teledyne Detcon’s Class
I Div 1 Aluminum Condulet to protect them from exposure to outside elements. Operating periods before
recharge will vary based on alarm usage but can be as long as 5 months for the 12V 2900mAh battery pack.
Improper use of the battery pack may be hazardous to personnel or the environment and will void the warranty.

Quad Battery Charger (Optional)
Detcon’s Smart Battery Pack can be charged as needed using Detcon’s optional Quad Battery Charger which
can charge up to four battery packs at one time. The Quad Battery Charger comes with a plug-in AC/DC adapter
that plugs into a standard 120VAC outlet for power. The DC end of the adapter plugs into the DC power jack
of the charger providing 24VDC. The Quad Battery Charger has four charging ports, each with 8-pin Beau
connectors for battery pack connection. The ports and connectors are keyed to prevent incorrect positioning and
connection. Each port has its own “FAULT” LED indicator and “CHARGE” LED indicator and will display
either a red light or green light depending on the status of each battery being charged. Charging times will vary
depending on the charge state of each battery pack, but a full charge of a depleted battery pack can take up to 24
hours.
