7. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Can this battery pack be recharged?

A: No. According to the official datasheet, the RAD-E-TBX_00 battery pack consists of a primary cell and a series resistor, and is non-rechargeable. It uses a Xeno Energy XL205F/T1 thionyl chloride lithium battery, which is a disposable lithium battery. Charging would cause danger. When the battery is depleted, please replace the entire battery pack with a new one.

Q2: Which transponder models is this battery pack compatible with?

A: According to the official datasheet, RAD-E-TBX_00 is compatible with RADius 550X and RADius 700X long-range transponders. These transponders are part of the Kongsberg RADius short-range relative positioning system, used in Dynamic Positioning (DP) systems. If you are using other transponder models, please confirm if the battery specifications match, or contact our sales team for assistance.

Q3: What is the explosion-proof certification? In which hazardous areas can it be used?

A: According to the official datasheet, RAD-E-TBX_00 is an intrinsically safe battery pack, certified by:

ATEX: PREGATEX ATEX 10742X
IECEx: IECEX PRE 70044X
DNV: DNV 13.0035.X Intrinsically safe design means the battery pack cannot ignite an explosive gas atmosphere under normal operation and specified fault conditions, and can be used in hazardous areas on ships and offshore platforms. For specific zone ratings (e.g., Zone 0/1/2), please refer to the detailed content of the certification certificates.

Q4: What are the capacity and voltage? How long is the service life?

A: According to the official datasheet:

Nominal voltage (no load): Max 3.67V (3.9V per IEC 60079-0)
Capacity: 19Ah
Self discharge rate: 1-2% per year (at room temperature)
Max output current: 101mA (limited by built-in 390Ω resistor)
Max available power: 39.4mW Since the RADius transponder is a low-power device, the 19Ah capacity can support operation for a long time. The specific service life depends on the transponder's operating mode and usage frequency. It is recommended to replace the battery regularly as suggested in the RADius 550X/700X instruction manuals.

Q5: What are the storage conditions and shelf life?

A: According to the official datasheet:

Self discharge rate: 1-2% per year (at room temperature)
Short term storage temperature: +5°C ~ +40°C
Long term storage temperature: +30°C (recommended)
Operating temperature: -25°C ~ +60°C Due to the extremely low self discharge rate (only 1-2% per year), under recommended storage conditions, the battery pack can be stored for a long time without significant capacity loss. It is recommended to store in a cool, dry place, avoiding extreme temperatures and humid environments.

Q6: Are there any transportation restrictions for this battery pack?

A: According to the official datasheet, the cell is subject to Class 9, UN 3090/3091 (lithium battery transport classification). However, due to complete encapsulation inside the stainless steel container, moulding compound, mechanical protection, and energy limitation, these transport regulations may be waived. Specific transport requirements should be confirmed according to the destination country's regulations and the courier company's policies. We will properly package and ship in compliance with relevant regulations to ensure compliant transportation.

Q7: How fast can in-stock items ship?

A: This model is in stock. After order confirmation and payment receipt, it typically ships within 1-3 business days. Specific shipping time depends on order quantity and current stock status. Contact sales before ordering to confirm real-time stock. We will coordinate the fastest shipping option available.
