Battery Type/ Power Source |
Two AA 1.2 V rechargeable NiMH batteries powered by built-in solar panel or two AA 1.5 V lithium batteries for operating
conditions of -40 to 70°C (-40 to 158°F) |
Battery Life |
With NiMH batteries: Typical 3–5 years when operated in the temperature range -20° to 40°C (-4°F to 104°F) and positioned toward the sun
see Deployment and Mounting), operation outside this range will reduce the battery service life
With lithium batteries: 1 year, typical use |
