Cobham Explorer 710 Spare Battery

Replacement or Additional Field Power

This battery installs in the Cobham EXPLORER 710 portable BGAN terminal and may be used as a direct replacement for the terminal’s original battery. Keeping an additional charged battery available can extend working time during remote communications, field reporting, emergency response, or temporary site operations where AC or vehicle power is not consistently available.

Operating Time

Battery life depends on how the terminal is being used. Manufacturer specifications list maximum transmission times of approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes at 144 kbps and 1 hour and 30 minutes at 492 kbps. Maximum reception time is approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes at 492 kbps. These figures are reference values rather than guaranteed runtimes.

Charging and Service Life

A full charge takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes under supported conditions. The battery is rated for at least 300 charge cycles and may typically provide up to 500 cycles, depending on use, charging practices, temperature, and storage.

Storage and Handling

For longer storage periods, Cobham recommends removing the battery from the terminal and storing it partially charged. Supported storage temperatures become narrower as the storage period increases, helping limit long-term battery deterioration.

As a lithium-ion battery, shipping availability and transportation requirements may vary by destination.
