±30 seconds per month in -40° to 60°C (-40° to 140°F) rangeBattery Type/Power Source 6 AA 1.5 V lithium batteries or AC power adapter (P-AC-1) 1.7 watt solar panel and NiMH rechargeable battery pack; optional AC power adapter (P-AC-1) or external solar panel (SOLAR-xW) can be used in place of integrated solar panel Battery Life/Power Source Runs continuously with the included AC adapter. Batteries can be used as a backup to AC power; battery life of 3 months with 1 minute logging and daily connections or 2 months with 1 minute logging and hourly connections, and with approximately 10 motes.
Note: Deployments in areas with weak cellular strength could reduce battery life.
Typical 3–5 years when operated in the temperature range -20° to 40°C (-4° to 104°F); operation outside this range will reduce the battery service life. Maximum connection rates with built-in solar panel, in full sun:
- 10 minute connections year round for latitudes less than ±40°
- 10 minute connections through three seasons in other regions, reduced to 30 minute connections in winter
Maximum connection rates with external 5W or 15W solar panels:
- 10 minute connections year round, in full sun
- Connection rate with external solar panels may be less if deployed in partial sun
