AA Active Dummy Cell Battery - OUTDOOR RATED (IP66) - 11" Thin Flat Flexible Cable - IP66 Rated 5.5mm x 2.1mm Barrel Socket with M12-1.75 Threads - Works with Outdoor Battery Eliminator Kits

Description

This OUTDOOR RATED (IP66) AA Active Dummy Cell Battery is used to replace a real AA battery in outdoor products that use one or more AA batteries. It has an 11" long thin flat flexible cable (FFC cable) with an IP66 rated 5.5mm x 2.1mm female barrel socket with M12-1.75 screw threads at the end. This barrel socket will work with the IP66 rated 5.5mm x 2.1mm male barrel plugs with M12-1.75 screw threads on our Outdoor Battery Eliminator Kits and Accessories (Outdoor Power Splitter Cables, Outdoor Power Extension Cables and Rechargeable Solar Panels). This Outdoor AA Active Dummy Cell Battery will work by itself or in conjunction with our AA Passive Dummy Cell Batteries and the appropriate power source such as our Rechargeable Solar Panels or an AC to DC Wall Power Adapter to eliminate expensive batteries that are constantly having to be replaced. Please read the detailed discussion and diagram for the components that make up a complete Outdoor Battery Eliminator solution. Stop changing out dead batteries and start saving money with our Outdoor Battery Eliminator Kits & Accessories.

This Outdoor AA Active Dummy Cell Battery is one component of an overall Outdoor Battery Eliminator solution which consists of an Outdoor AA Active Dummy Cell Battery (this component), our AA Passive Dummy Cell Batteries (part number AA-PASSIVE-DUMMY - quantity depends on the number of regular batteries required by the outdoor electronic device), and a suitable DC power source such as our rechargeable solar panels or an AC to DC Wall Power Adapter. The DC output voltage depends on the number of batteries used by the outdoor electronic device). The tip/inner conductor of the barrel socket goes to the (+) terminal of the Outdoor AA Active Dummy Cell Battery, and the ring/outer conductor of the barrel socket goes to the (-) terminal of the Outdoor AA Active Dummy Cell Battery. This internal connection is needed to complete the circuit necessary in the outdoor electronic device when used in conjunction with one or more AA Passive Dummy Cell Batteries.

This Outdoor AA Active Dummy Cell Battery is the same size as a real AA battery, so it fits in one of the battery spaces in the battery compartment. It doesn't matter which space it goes into as long as the correct polarity is still observed as with regular batteries. The FFC cable can easily be run around the rubber gasket found on most waterproof outdoor battery compartment covers, so the original battery cover and rubber gasket can still be used. Since most rubber gaskets are compressible, a tight seal will be maintained between the FFC cable and the battery compartment cover, so the waterproofness of the battery compartment will still be maintained.

As an example application, suppose you want to eliminate 2 x AA batteries in an outdoor electronic product such as a thermometer. You will need 1 x Outdoor AA Active Dummy Cell Battery (this component), 1 x AA Passive Dummy Cell Battery and a suitable DC power source such as one of our Rechargeable Solar Panels or an AC to DC Wall Power Adapter. Since each regular AA battery supplies 1.5VDC, two AA batteries will supply 3VDC, so you would need a DC power source that can supply a voltage around 3VDC (3.3VDC is also acceptable).

As another example application, suppose you want to eliminate 4 x AA batteries in an outdoor electronic product such as a motion activated sprinkler. You will need 1 x Outdoor AA Active Dummy Cell Battery (this component), 3 x AA Passive Dummy Cell Batteries and a suitable DC power source such as one of our Rechargeable Solar Panels or an AC to DC Wall Power Adapter. Since each regular AA battery supplies 1.5VDC, four AA batteries will supply 6VDC, so you would need a DC power source that can supply 6VDC.

NOTE(S):

· This is not a real AA battery and will not power an electronic device on its own. It needs to be used in conjunction with the other necessary components that make up a complete Outdoor Battery Eliminator solution as discussed above and depicted in the included diagrams.

· The blue plastic AA Active Dummy Cell Battery housing itself is not IP66 rated and is intended for use in a sealed battery compartment.

· The thin flat flexible cable (FFC cable) and the 5.5mm x 2.1mm female barrel socket with M12-1.75 screw threads are both IP66 rated and can be exposed to the outdoor elements after the FFC cable runs through the rubber gasket on most waterproof outdoor battery compartment covers.
