5. Using the Small External Battery Pack
The LISST-200X comes with a Small External Battery Pack that can be used for short term
deployments. The instructions in this section describe how to use the Small Battery
including installing and charging the NiMH rechargeable batteries.
• The LISST-200X Small External Battery Pack uses
two rechargeable NiMH D-cell batteries. Four of the
1.5V 10000mAh batteries and a charger are included
with the battery pack. The batteries are not installed
when the instrument a new instrument is shipped. It is
recommend that the batteries be removed from the
battery housing when not in use. Leaving the
batteries in the battery housing will cause the batteries
to discharge and could cause damage to the cells.
• Fully charge the batteries using the provided charger.
Fully discharged batteries will take about 8 hours to
charge.
• The Small Battery housing is made of plastic and has
an endcap with two underwater connectors and two
captive thumbscrews on one end.
• Loosen the thumbscrews. Note that the screws will
not need to be fully removed. They are designed to
be removed from the main housing but still remain
attached to the endcap. The screws can be removed
if you continue to rotate the screws through the
threaded holes in the endcap.
• Slide the endcap with battery holder attached out of
the main housing.
