Changing BAT604 Batteries in Inovonics Submetering Transmitters

Introduction

Replacement BAT604 batteries are available from the Inovonics website in packs of 12, 50 and 400.

When the battery is low, the transmitter sends an alert to the TapWatch software or application. This alert provides a window of at least one week to replace the lithium battery before it dies.

This battery change procedure applies to the following submetering transmitters:
