RKI Alkaline Battery Pack for GX-3R Pro 49-1626
Description
The RKI 49-1626 is an OEM alkaline battery pack designed for the
RKI GX-3R Pro multi-gas monitor. The alkaline battery pack provides an alternative power source when lithium-ion recharging is not practical — such as during extended remote operations, in environments where recharging infrastructure is unavailable, or when a spare rechargeable pack has not been maintained. Standard alkaline batteries used in the 49-1626 are available worldwide, making this pack a reliable backup power solution for field teams.
Frequently Asked Questions
When should I use the alkaline battery pack instead of the lithium-ion pack?
The 49-1626 alkaline pack is most useful during extended field deployments where AC or DC charging is unavailable, in emergency situations where the Li-Ion pack is depleted and no charger is accessible, or in cold-weather environments where lithium-ion batteries discharge faster. Alkaline batteries can be purchased locally at hardware and convenience stores worldwide.
Is the alkaline pack rechargeable?
No. The 49-1626 is a non-rechargeable alkaline battery pack. When the batteries are depleted, the alkaline cells must be replaced. The RKI Li-Ion Battery Pack 49-1625 is the rechargeable alternative. Both packs are compatible with the
GX-3R Pro but serve different use cases.
Will using the alkaline pack affect the
GX-3R Pro's performance?
The
GX-3R Pro functions normally on alkaline battery power. Runtime may differ from the Li-Ion pack depending on the alkaline battery brand, ambient temperature, and sensor load. Consult the GX-3R Pro instrument manual for alkaline runtime specifications and temperature operating ranges.
Can I use standard AA or AAA alkaline batteries in this pack?
The 49-1626 pack is a purpose-built battery holder for the
GX-3R Pro that uses specific alkaline cell sizes. Refer to the RKI documentation for the required cell type and do not attempt to substitute incompatible battery sizes, which could damage the instrument or provide incorrect voltage.
How do I order the 49-1626 or related
GX-3R Pro battery accessories?
Order directly through PK Safety's website or call
1-800-829-9580. PK Safety also stocks the GX-3R Pro Li-Ion Battery Pack (49-1625) and the Li-Ion pack with alligator clip (49-1625-01) for additional power options.
