Iris 06052M Remote Battery Pack for 5-in-1 Weather Sensors

There is mixed reviews on how well the panel works, but I was tired of climbing the ladder and changing batteries outside of the regular maintenance the sensors require, so I rolled the proverbial dice. I received the panel this past January, install was easy, and so far no issues, the unit hasn’t lost power, the supplied rechargeable battery so far has been able to supply power at night, and during inclement weather. The panel is mounted about 10’ above the ground on the side of the pole that has the weather sensor about 15’ above it. The cable between the panel is a bit excessive in my case, but I could see a need for the length depending on how far away the panel needs to be to capture sunlight. I haven’t had to clean the panel yet, plan on cleaning the panel during the annual sensor maintenance cycle.

Easy install. Working as it should. No more replacing batteries.

Easy to install and works great.

Solar pack eliminated the need to mess with batteries in my outdoor weather station. So far its working flawlessly if I experience any issues I will update review

This is a great device for the most part. Accurate conditions but is a bit finicky on placement. I occasionally get alerts that it has lost contact with my network and its base station. Also if you plan to mount it high in the air perhaps 20 feet or so make sure you get the remote power source or remote battery pack. Always use lithium Ion AA batteries. They give far superior service on this device. If you have an irrigation system that adjusts for wind, rain and temperature, this device will give you the best and most accurate information for your irrigation system. Great to share with neighbors who have such irrigation systems. Connection to weather underground is basically seamless and you can easily compare your readings to other stations nearby. The lightening detector is a great safety feature and should be added to your weather station.

This works perfectly to keep my weather station powered. The adapter fit right in to replace the battery cover.

Works great, better then worrying about batteries

Easy to install, battery fully charged in 2 days and stays fully charged. Works as described and seems to add improved functionality and refresh time to the unit. No more climbing on the hangar roof to replace batteries for this guy.
