Off the Shelf Batteries

You should never use an off-the-shelf, unapproved battery in the controller. To ensure ETC controllers are certified “Intrinsically Safe,” approved batteries and associated apparatus are assembled and tested at a CSA authorized manufacturer. There are several safety components embedded in our battery assemblies to limit the current and fail safe when too much current is drawn.

Using an unapproved off the shelf battery could lead to an explosion. Not only is this a potential safety hazard, substitution of components can impair intrinsic safety and invalidates the CSA certification of the product for use in the hazardous environment it is intended to be used.

To confirm if a battery is CSA certified, it will include a label as shown below:
