Batteries

The housing of the Kilo holds 12 AA batteries. There is no provision for external power.
Choosing Batteries
The Kilo battery pack can hold and operate with any AA alkaline or lithium battery, however, only
industrial grade batteries designed for harsh environments should be used.
 Xeos recommends the Energizer EN91 AA alkaline battery, or the Energizer L91 lithium
Battery.
 New batteries should be used for each new deployment
 Each battery should be tested with a battery tester or voltmeter to ensure none of the
cells are defective or discharged. Individual cells with a voltage measuring less than 1.5 V
should be discarded.
Adding/Replacing Batteries
After removing the screw-cap, the loose battery board can be removed by turning the Kilo right
side up and letting the board fall onto a table or your hand.
After the Circuit board is removed, the black battery core is revealed, with 6 slots that will hold 2
AA batteries each (12 batteries in total).
