MotionNode Bus with one node and battery pack

The MotionNode Bus base unit includes two battery packs and a charger. Long battery life and a charge time of only 1½ hours allow for constant usage of the wireless sensor network.

We use Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) rechargeable batteries. LiFePO4 batteries are safe, charge quickly, and retain their capacity well over time. To minimize size and weight, the battery packs are not in enclosures.
