Highly dependent upon number of pulse counting inputs, cellular call durations, and the number
ade per day or month. Due to the number of potential variables, this is difficult to
predict for all circumstances. Mercury can provide reference information that details a single
“typical” site and the expected life based on this example case.
Disposal of lithium battery cells is strictly regulated in most areas as hazardous waste material.
Consult your regional waste disposal authority to ensure full compliance with legal statutes
ary cell lithium batteries (even when fully discharged) is strictly forbidden on
passenger aircraft. Cargo shipment of batteries via UPS, FedEx, etc., requires approved
shipping containers, packing methods, MSDS information, and other paperwork to be incl
