8.2.2 FlexPower with Integrated Battery
A few FlexPower devices operate using a 3.6V lithium D cell battery integrated into the housing.
These integrated battery devices:
• Operate only from the battery and cannot use an external power supply,
• Are limited in the available I/O because of the limited connectivity, and
• Can only be powered from the integrated battery.
8.2.3 FlexPower
®
Solar Supply
Banner’s FlexPower Solar Supply Assembly can be used to power up to two radio devices, including a FlexPower Node, a FlexPower
Gateway, or a data radio.
When used with a FlexPower Node and sensors, the Solar Assembly
supplies enough power to run most sensors at higher sample and re-
port rates than a single battery can reasonably support. Rechargea-
ble batteries power the devices while the solar panel recharges the
batteries.
