DSC BATT-PGX944

The DSC BATT-PGX944 is a CR17450 3V Lithium battery used to power the DSC PG9944 Outdoor Motion Detector with Built-in Camera. The DSC PG9944 comes with two (2) of these batteries, which are used to power the device. Typical battery life in one of these sensors is about three (3) years.

As a motion sensor with a built-in camera, the DSC PG9944's power needs are greater than those of either a motion detector or camera alone. DSC has developed some ingenious ways for PowerG devices to conserve battery power, including, for the PG9944, a high-traffic shutdown setting, and Adaptive Transmission. You can read all about the features of DSC PowerG sensors here.

The DSC PG9944 uses two (2) of these batteries. When the device signals a low battery condition, both batteries should be changed at the same time. Although typical battery life is three (3) years, you may see longer or shorter life, depending on the mounting location and programmed settings for your device.
