29 -The LPR loggers have no built in solar charge controller, thus, an external regulator is placed between the solar panel and logger. This regulator steps the voltage down from the panels voltage (typically 20V) to 12V. Note that these are not required for the Terrasawrs as these loggers have an inbuilt charge controller.

56 56  The LPR recorders were created with the use of a custom lead acid battery in mind. These batteries consisted of a charge controller and multiple flat battery cells encased in a metal box. However, over time these batteries degrade and are no longer used. In place of the original batteries, other kinds of lead acid batteries that are readily available at stores are now used, making them more reliable, accessible, and versatile.

58 58  Valve regulated lead acid batteries can be used within the LPR, plugged into where the old batteries would have been. For larger projects, an external battery case alternative can be used, connecting to the external power port where a solar panel is typically attached. AGM lead acid batteries may be ideal in this scenario, and a battery in the place of the old one is not needed.

60 -To make use of these batteries, special power adaptors have been created. The battery plug that is found on the LPRs consists of 6 pins; E and F power the LPR from the connected battery, and A, B, C, and D charge the battery.
