2.4.1 Internal Lithium Battery
The iRIS 150FX has an internal AA size 3.6 V, 2400 mA/Hr lithium battery, which provides the power supply when no
external dc power supply is available. When external power is connected, the internal battery is completely disconnected.
The battery may be replaced by the user.
The internal AA battery is not intended for long-term use, rather as a back-up in the event of loss of external
power. Standard AA cells such as Alkaline, NiCad, NiMH, etc, cannot be used in the iRIS as they do not supply
sufficient voltage.
A variant is available that has a D-size lithium battery installed and this can be used for self-powered
installations connected to a rain gauge or water meter.
