Battery Packs
X2-SDL and X2-SDLMC data loggers rely on internal batteries to supply power. X2-CB and X2-CBMC
data loggers are designed for use on CB-Series data buoys with solar charging (model CB-150 and
larger). These buoys have a data well for installation of battery packs, and the data logger serves as the
top plate to provide a waterproof seal on the data well.
NexSens offers two standard types of battery harnesses, which include sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries,
solar regulator, mounting bracket and data logger connection cable pigtail (UW-6 connector):
1.
– contains two 8.5 A-hr batteries (CB-150 only)
2.
– contains one to four 28 A-Hr batteries (depending on buoy capacity – see table below)
The following table shows what battery harness models each CB-Series data buoy model has capacity
for in the data well. However, what model is selected should be based on a complete power budget
analysis that includes system power demand, solar charge capacity (panel size) and available sunlight
based on deployment location to aid in determining how much reserve battery power is needed.

NexSens battery harnesses are typically shipped pre-installed in CB-Series data buoys. However, in
cases where batteries need to be installed or replaced, detailed instructions can be found
