Description
Do you have an outdoor electronic device that
you love but runs on 2 x C batteries, and you’re tired of dealing with dead
batteries? Well, we have a solution! We are now offering an alternative way to
power your outdoor electronic devices that use 2 x C batteries! This 2 x C Outdoor
Battery Eliminator Kit is used to replace real C batteries in outdoor electronic
devices that use 2 x C batteries. Perfect for use in outdoor electronic devices
that are heavily used or left on for extended periods of time. This 2 x C Outdoor
Battery Eliminator Kit includes 1 x C Outdoor Active Dummy Cell Battery and 1 x
C Passive Dummy Cell Battery. The Thin Flat
Flexible Cable (FFC cable) coming out of the C Outdoor Active Dummy Cell
Battery can be run around the side of most battery compartment covers that have
waterproof gaskets, so the original level of waterproofness can still be
maintained! Also, the connector at the
end of the FFC cable is a waterproof 5.5mm x 2.1mm male barrel plug with
M12-1.75 screw threads. This connector
will mate with our outdoor power extension cables and outdoor power splitter
cables keeping your connections protected! This
connector will also mate with regular indoor 5.5mm x 2.1mm male barrel plugs,
but the connection won’t be waterproof, so outdoor electrical tape or
adhesive-lined heat-shrink tubing can be used to protect this connection. So, stop braving the elements to change out dead
batteries and start saving money! Stop
worrying about whether your outdoor electronic device is turned off or in the
timer mode! Outdoor Battery Eliminator
Kits are here to save you the hassle, the time, and the money associated with
constantly changing out dead batteries in your favorite battery powered outdoor
electronic devices!
The C Dummy Cell Batteries included in this kit are the same size as regular C
batteries, so they easily fit into the outdoor electronic device's battery
compartment spaces. It doesn't matter which space they go into as long as you
observe the correct polarities just as you would when inserting real batteries.
The thin flat flexible cable (FFC cable) coming out of the C Outdoor Active
Dummy Cell Battery can easily be run around the side of most battery
compartment covers that have waterproof gaskets, so the original battery
compartment cover and gasket can still be used while maintaining a waterproof
seal!
Don't forget to check out our outdoor battery eliminator
components and accessories such as our Rechargeable Solar Panels, Outdoor AC to
DC Power Adapters, Outdoor Power Extension Cables, Outdoor Power Splitter
Cables, Outdoor Active Dummy Cell Batteries, Passive Dummy Cell Batteries, Cable
Ground Stakes, Adhesive Lined Heat-Shrink Tubing, etc.
NOTES:
·
The C Outdoor Active Dummy Cell Battery and C
Passive Dummy Cell Battery are not real batteries and will not power an
electronic device on its own. They need to be used in conjunction with an
appropriate AC to DC power adapter or solar panel as discussed above and
depicted in the diagrams.
·
This kit does not contain a power source, so
that will need to be purchased separately.
We offer 3.3VDC output voltage rechargeable solar panels that can be
used as the power source and has the appropriate waterproof connector that will
mate with the waterproof connector on the C Outdoor Active Dummy Cell
Battery. We also offer indoor and
outdoor AC to DC power adapters. Our
indoor AC to DC wall power adapters can be used as the power source provided the
adapter isn’t exposed to the outdoor elements such as water, rain, dirt,
etc. Also, the connection between the
indoor AC to DC wall power adapter’s 5.1mm x 2.1mm male barrel plug and the C
Outdoor Active Dummy Cell Battery’s female barrel socket will need to be made
waterproof by using outdoor electrical tape or adhesive-lined heat-shrink
tubing.
·
Please make sure the mating connector used
with the Outdoor C Active Dummy Cell Battery has M12-1.75 screw threads. M12 specifies the diameter of the threads as
12mm (refer to illustrations), and 1.75 specifies the pitch of the screw
threads as 1.75mm and is the distance between threads in mm (refer to
illustrations). If the mating connector does not have the same thread diameter
and the same thread pitch, then the screw nut on the mating connector will not
work, and the rubber O-ring on the mating connector will not be properly
compressed which is necessary to create a weatherproof seal. The connector on
this cable will mate with regular (non-weatherproof) 5.5mm x 2.1mm DC barrel
connectors (male plugs), but the connection will not be weatherproof (water and
dirt).
·
Since each regular C battery supplies 1.5VDC,
2 x C batteries will supply 3VDC. Power sources that supply 3VDC or 3.3VDC are
adequate for powering electronic devices that use 2 x C batteries. The output current rating of the power source
should be selected such that it is appropriate for the outdoor electronic
device being powered. Most devices that
use 2C batteries can be powered using a power source capable of supplying an output
current of 1-Amp, but some devices may require as much as 2-Amps.
·
The C Outdoor Active Dummy Cell Battery is
made of a AA Outdoor Active Dummy Cell Battery and a hollow plastic C cell
battery dummy case. The AA Active Dummy Cell Battery simply slides into the
hollow plastic C cell battery dummy case as shown in the pictures. The hollow
plastic C cell battery dummy case essentially serves as a AA to C battery size
converter, so it will properly fit in the electronic device's battery
compartment.
·
The C Passive Dummy Cell Battery is made of a
AA Passive Dummy Cell Battery and a hollow plastic C cell battery dummy case.
The AA Passive Dummy Cell Battery simply slides into the hollow plastic C cell
battery dummy case as shown in the pictures. The hollow plastic C cell battery
dummy case essentially serves as a AA to C battery size converter, so it will
properly fit in the electronic device's battery compartment.
WARNING(S): Do not attempt to charge the C Dummy Cell Batteries with a
battery charger. Doing so may damage the battery charger.
