The
BAT-AAA mobile DC battery pack is a great product. This device can
be used as a portable power supply for most Eyespyvideo.com video
equipment which operates in the 9 ~ 14v power range. The BAT-AAA
is very similar to our BAT-1 and BAT-3 packs but is much smaller
because it is made for the more compact "AAA" battery
size.
The BAT-AAA
is designed to work with any eight (8) standard "AAA"
batteries. For best performance and optimum battery run time, it
is strongly encouraged to use alkaline batteries. With fresh alkaline
batteries, voltage peaks at near 14 volts DC, then quickly settles
to a fairly precise 12 volts. As your electronic devices drain these
batteries, voltage slowly drops until there is not enough battery
capacity to power your devices. At this point a video camera or
other piece of Eyespyvideo.com will cease operation.
The amount of
current delivered by the BAT-AAA pack is up to 300 mA (milliamps)
for 1.1 Ah (amp-hours). In our real world testing, eight fresh "AAA"
alkaline batteries will continuously power a miniature camera, with
power consumption of roughly 100 mA per hour, for approximately
16 hours. Using an ACC-2Y or ACC-3Y power splitter allows the BAT-AAA
to power several devices simultaneously like more than one camera
or a camera in combination with a wireless transmitter and / or
microphone. Battery run time for a miniature camera plus a wireless
transmitter is 2 - 6 hours. Expect only a small decrease in battery
run time when using a microphone with this 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 "AAA" batteries are also fully compatible
with the BAT-AAA battery pack. These batteries are typically charged
to 1.2v each, so eight rechargeable batteries produces maximum output
of 9.6 volts. Using NiMH rechargeable batteries significantly reduces
battery run time, and 9.6 volts DC may not provide adaquate battery
capacity to power some products (such as high power wireless transmitters).
Other types of "AAA" batteries such as lithium ion and
lithium polymer may have the potential to increase battery run time.
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 many Eyespyvideo.com video equipment, including
CCTV cameras, wireless equipment, and video monitors. This plug
also fits seamlessly with the ACC-2Y and ACC-3Y power splitters
as well as the AM-1 miniature microphone.
