The
BAT-2 mobile battery connector is a well suited for some limited
applications. This device can be used as a portable power supply
for some Eyespyvideo.com video equipment which operates on as little
as 9 volts DC. The BAT-2 is also the connector plug for our "AA"
and "AAA" mobile battery packs.
The BAT-2 is
designed to work with one standard 9v battery cell. To power almost
any Eyespyvideo.com video product, alkaline batteries will be required.
With a fresh alkaline batteries, voltage peaks at very near 9 volts.
As your electronic devices drains this battery cell, voltage slowly
drops until there is not enough battery capacity to power your device.
At this point a video camera or other piece of Eyespyvideo.com will
cease operation.
The amount of
current delivered by the BAT-2 pack is up to up to 250 mA (milliamps)
for 520 mAh (milliamp-hours) with a fresh alkaline cell according
to general battery standards. However, please understand that "12v"
devices like miniature video cameras will degrade battery life significantly
faster with a 9v battery than with a 12 volt mobile battery pack.
In our real world testing, one fresh 9v alkaline battery will continuously
power a miniature camera, with power consumption of roughly 100
mA per hour, for approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Our AM-1 microphone,
in contrast, has a very low 10 mA per hour consumption and can be
continuously operated with the BAT-2 for more than four hours. Using
an ACC-2Y or ACC-3Y power splitter is not recommended with this
product due to the small capacity of 9v batteries. For multiple
devices, or to increase battery time significantly, please choose
a larger mobile battery pack.
Eight fresh
alkaline batteries (1.5v each) installed in the BAT-AAA battery
pack will create 12 volts DC power for Eyespyvideo.com cameras,
microphones, wireless A/V products, and many more items. Nickel-metal-hydride
(NiMH) rechargeable 9v batteries do not produce a full 9 volts DC
and are therefore not appropriate for use with our BAT-2 connector
and any video equipment on Eyespyvideo.com. Other types of 9v battery
cells such as lithium ion and lithium polymer may have the potential
to increase battery run time, however.
Voltage output
is from a standard 2.1mm (inner diameter) x 5.5mm (outer diameter)
coaxial power plug. This output plug is seamlessly compatible with
the power input plug on Eyespyvideo miniature video cameras and
the AM-1 microphone.
The BAT-2 mobile
9v battery source / battery pack connector is a part of our FREE
deluxe 7-piece accessory kit included with every camera order (ACC-PKG).
This item is also included as a FREE piece of the BAT-1 and BAT-3
battery packs, and it is included with purchase of the AM-1 miniature
microphone as well.
