Appendix G: Connecting the Submersible Battery Pack
Introduction
The Submersible Battery Pack
(P/N 2200-601) contains a
rechargeable lithium-ion battery and
battery pack charger. The battery
pack is used together with the Internal
Datalogger to provide self-contained
use for the C6 Multi-Sensor Platform
or C3 Submersible Fluorometer. The
battery pack has a 600m depth rating
and facilitates vertical profiling and
moored applications.
Charging the Battery
1) Carefully align the battery’s
connector to the pins of the
charger and push the battery
straight onto the charger.
2) Plug the charger into a standard
wall outlet and allow the battery to
charge for 6 hours for a complete
battery charge.
3) When finished, unplug the charger
and remove the battery by pulling
the battery straight out from the
charger’s connector.
General Precautions
Under no circumstances should you attempt to
open the battery housing. Please contact
Turner Designs if you have any problems or
questions related to the battery pack.
Battery Life
The battery is designed, when fully charged, to
exceed the Internal Data Logging capacity at
the maximum sampling rate. For longer
deployments at shorter sampling intervals, we
recommend recharging the battery after the
Internal Data Logger is full or every 3-4
months, whichever comes first.
Note: Use the Battery Life Calculator
available on the Turner Designs website C3
product page to calculate a conservative
estimation of how many days you can
expect to log data. Factors such as battery
charge and water temperature will affect
logging days.
