Battery Type/Power Source

RX2102, RX2104 and RX2106: Integrated 1.7 watt solar panel and NiMH rechargeable battery pack; optional AC power adapter (P-AC-1) or external solar panel (SOLAR-xW) can be used in place of integrated solar panel

Battery Life

RX2102, RX2104 and RX2106 Battery Life:

Typical 3–5 years when operated in the temperature range -20° to 40°C (-4° to 104°F); operation outside this range will reduce the battery service life.

Maximum connection rates with built-in solar panel, in full sun:

• 10 minute connections year round for latitudes less than ±40°
• 10 minute connections through three seasons in other regions, reduced to 30 minute connections in winter

Maximum connection rates with external 5W or 15W solar panels:

• 10 minute connections year round, in full sun
• Connection rate with external solar panels may be less if deployed in partial sun

Battery life without solar recharging, with hourly connections and
1 minute logging:

• RX2102: 3 months
• RX2104: 2 months
• RX2106: 3 months

RX2101 and RX2103 Battery Life:

Battery life with daily connections:

• RX2101: 1 year with 1 minute logging
• RX2103: 1 year with 2 minute logging

Battery life with hourly connections and 1 minute logging:

• RX2101: 3 months
• RX2103: 2 months

Note: Deployments in areas with weak cellular strength could reduce battery life.

Memory

16 MB, 1 million measurements, continuous logging
