Product information

This NiMH special battery is the safety-relevant energy source for Ikusi radio remote controls, which are used in potentially explosive areas (Ex zones). It replaces the original battery BT06K and is specially designed for the requirements of the ATEX and HALL safety standards.

In contrast to standard batteries, this version features intrinsic protection mechanisms that must prevent sparking or overheating under all circumstances in order to guarantee maximum safety in refineries, mining, or the chemical industry.

Highlights at a glance

Maximum safety (ATEX/HALL): This battery is intended for use in safety areas. It meets the strict requirements for explosion protection (please observe certificates on the battery!).
Suitable for Ikusi Ex transmitters: Specially adapted for the T70/1 and T70/2 handheld transmitters in the ATEX version (often recognisable by black housings with Ex marking or special type plates).
Replaces BT06K (Ex): Compatible with part number BT06K in the explosion-protected version.
NiMH technology (4.8V): Uses safe nickel-metal hydride cells with 4.8 volts. This chemistry is robust and durable.
Certified design: The housing and the internal connectors are designed to prevent static build-up and short circuits inside.

Important safety notice

Risk to life if the wrong choice is made! In potentially explosive areas (Zone 0, 1, 2 etc.) only batteries may be used that have a valid and zone-appropriate ATEX approval.

Never use standard replacement batteries without Ex certificate in an ATEX area!
Before each use, check that the Ex symbol on the battery is undamaged and legible.
Operating an Ex transmitter with a non-Ex battery leads to the immediate loss of the operating licence for the entire system.

FAQs about Ikusi ATEX battery

Can I also use this ATEX battery in a standard (non-Ex) transmitter?

Yes. Technically, this works without any problems, as voltage and design are identical. However, it is usually not economical, as ATEX batteries are significantly more expensive due to the elaborate certification and construction than standard batteries.

May I charge this battery in the normal charger (BC70)?

Usually yes. Ikusi chargers (e.g. BC70) usually charge both versions. Note: The charger itself must usually not be located in the Ex zone! Always charge batteries outside the potentially explosive atmosphere in safe rooms.

How do I recognise an ATEX battery?

Look for the hexagon symbol with "Ex" and the specific zone markings (e.g. II 2G Ex ib IIC T4) on the battery’s type plate. If this symbol is missing, it is a standard battery and is prohibited for hazardous areas.
