Detailed Description

The BP7 is a 7 Ahr, sealed rechargeable battery. This battery is shipped with the following:

  • pn 17374 cable
  • pn 10508 enclosure mounting bracket
  • Four screws
  • Four grommets

The 17374 cable terminates in pigtails that attach to the datalogger's terminal strip or the MorningStar regulator (a component of the 25295 power supply).

When used with the CR200(X) series, remember that the 17365 is too large for the ENC200 enclosure. It can be housed in any of our standard environmental enclosures (e.g., ENC10/12, ENC12/14).

Frequently Asked Questions

Number of FAQs related to BP7: 2

  1. How can the age of a sealed rechargeable battery be determined?

    Look for a stamp on top of the battery. The stamp may be in a date format of YYMMDDXX where:

    • YY is the year.
    • MM is the month.
    • DD is the day.
    • XX is the manufacturing plant.

    This indicates the age of the battery.

  2. If a fully charged 17365 battery is used without a wall charger or solar panel, how long will the 17365 continue to supply power to a data logger?

    This depends on the current drain of the system. For more information, see the “Power Supplies” application note.
