Battery and Power Specifications
Your RECONYX
®
HyperFire2
TM
Cellular camera runs on twelve AA-cell batteries. We
highly recommend using either Energizer
®
Ultimate Lithium batteries or high-quality
NiMH Rechargeable batteries. You should NOT use alkaline batteries as they do not
provide as much power as Lithium or NiMH batteries and are adversely affected by
both hot and cold weather.
External Power Jack
Your camera also includes a water-tight External Power
Jack that is located on the bottom of your camera. You
will need to have clearance on the bottom of your camera
for the included power cable (our mounting systems and
security enclosures are perfect for this).
The cable has pigtails on the end so you can connect the
red wire to the positive (+) side and the black wire to the
negative (-) side (ground) of a battery or other external
power source.
Connecting to anything higher than 18 volts could damage your camera and will void
your warranty.
Input power supply should be able to deliver 4 amps of current at 12 volts.
We highly recommend having a fresh set of Energizer
®
Ultimate Lithium batteries
installed in the camera even when running with external power.
By having both internal and external power sources available, the camera will decide
which power source to use based on which has the greater voltage; thereby avoiding
a camera shutdown due to an external power failure.
TIP: The Solar Panel Power Unit available at www.reconyx.com is an ideal
solution to power your cellular camera via the external power jack.
NOTE: The external power connection is totally independent of the internal
batteries and DOES NOT deliver a charge to the batteries; even if
rechargeable batteries are used internally.
