About Power Supplies

Campbell Scientific's data acquisition systems are powered by reliable, inexpensive 12 Vdc sources. Power consumption by our dataloggers, peripherals, and sensors is minimal, allowing extended operation from our standard sealed rechargeable battery or set of alkaline cells. Systems that require more power can be supplemented with external rechargeable batteries, regulators, and charging sources (ac power or solar panels).
