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).
