Is the CA-6203 Combustion Analyzer able to run on battery power. If so, how long will operate on battery power?
An AC power supply is a standard accessory for these instruments but the instruments can be operated from standard ‘C’ Cell batteries. The batteries provide continuous operation for 24+ hours, with the pump on. Battery life of the CA-CALC™ is increased significantly when the pump is switched off between measurements, and the backlight is turned off. Competitive combustion analyzers typically operate for 8 hours or less on battery power when new and this decreases over time since they generally use expensive rechargeable batteries. The heavy battery-packs of some of the competitive models make them less portable than the lightweight CA-CALC.
