Dear All:
I have digital water meter which operated by AA battery with the specification:

· Compliant to IEC 86-4 safety and EN 50020 intrinsic safety standard

· UL recognised (file number MH28717)

· IEC code of battery is CR14505

· Non flammable electrolyte

· Available in AA standard size

· Nominal capacity of 2.70Ah

· Nominal voltage of 3.6V

· Operating temperature range -65°C to 85°C

· Continuous current of 40mA

· Typical weight is 19g

I need to replace this battery by 220v to 3.6v 3700mAH transformer. Is there any ideas to do that? Can I make any changes to any transformer or charger found today in the market?\
Regards......

 

You need something like this, only smaller.

Thank you very much for your reply, but this power adapter is 2.2A not 2.7A. I don't have any experience in this field. Is it ok to use 2.2A instead of 2.7A ? By the way I will leave this adapter working all the time.

 

Your battery is not labeled 2.7 amps. It contains 2.7 AMP-HOURS when it is new and fully charged.
There is no such thing as an amp-hour transformer.
There is no such thing as a DC transformer.
A power supply you leave plugged in forever contains infinity number of amp hours.
These have nothing to do with your needs.

You need 3.6 volts capable of at least 0.04 amps.
Not 2.7 amps. Not 2.2 amps. Not 18.67 amps. Not 1.32 amps.
0.04 amps.
When you leave it plugged in for 10 hours, it will deliver 0.4 amp-hours.
If you leave it plugged in forever, it will produce infinity amp-hours.

Summary: 3.6 volts, 0.04 amps minimum.

 

The battery is 2.7Ah Ampere hours), the power supply is 2.2A (Amperes). These two numbers are not measuring the same thing.
The 2.2A means that the power supply can supply a current up to 2.2 Amperes and it will do this forever.
The 2.7Ah for the battery means that, for example, the battery will supply 0.1 Ampere for 27 hours before it is flat. You multiply the current in amperes by the time in hours that current has been flowing to get the number of Ampere hours that has been supplied.

Thank you again for your help and sorry for the misunderstanding. I will go and buy it. Thanks.
